ATTI

As mentioned earlier, i stayed in the art-themed Winston Hotel last week. The artist responsible for our room was ATTI. Looked up some more of her stuff, its pretty cool so i've stuck a link up here to her site:

ATTI

You can view the room we were in, you'll find it in the Interiors section.


The coolest bar ever?












No Photoshop trickery this time, just some pics taken last week in the new Ice Bar in Amsterdam. Not the best pics due to camera troubles and a partner with shakier hands than a Torry wino with the DT's, but you get the idea. Every things made out of ice, right down to the glasses. Its not quite inline for becoming my new local, but a drinking experience different from your usual Aberdeen establishments is always welcome. And yes- it was absolutely freezing, hence the silly North Pole type attire.

More Photoshoppery- NEMO



The NEMO sceince centre in Amsterdam. Its an impressive building in itself, couldnt decide what to do with it in PS so here's a couple i threw together. I'll maybe mess around some more with it later.

Winston Amsterdam

http://www.winston.nl/

Just got back from Amsterdam, much needed break after a chaotic year. Stayed at a cool, arty hotel in the RLD called Winston. Each room had been transformed by a different artist, and as a result it was the coolest place i've ever stayed in. The rooms varied from wall to wall fractal graphics with giant robots standing over the beds, to a fetish room complete with leather straps and chains on the bed (!). Cant do this place justice, but heres a little video i found on Youtube showing some of the rooms.




It also had a bar which was very popular with the local crowd as well as residents. Heres a pic of the gents (most surreal) WC's.
