Our latest film for Moblin is now being shown at trade shows. This time we’re demonstrating how Moblin’s Linux-based Operating System works on mobile devices.

We thought the best way to do this would be to have a giant cat roaming a city. OK, and have some explanation of how it actually works. But check out that cat here.

Airside have once again teamed up with Greenpeace – this time on their campaign for justice for the Tokyo Two. The Tokyo Two are Japanese Greenpeace activists Junichi Sato and Toru Suzuki. In 2008 they uncovered evidence that a Japanese whaling ship, Nisshin Maru, hunting whales in the Southern Ocean sanctuary under the guise of scientific research, was being used to illegally supply the whale meat market.

After Greenpeace presented their findings at a press conference and the District Prosecutor agreed to investigate the case, the case was suddenly dropped and Greenpeace’s Tokyo offices raided by police. Junichi and Toru were arrested and held for intense daily interrogation. After almost a month they were released on bail where they await trial to face charges of whale meat theft and trespassing. If convicted they could face up to 10 years in prison.

Along with Amnesty International, Greenpeace believe that the case against the Tokyo Two is politically motivated and are demanding that the case be dropped.

Our illustrations were also used at a recent protest held outside the Japanese Embassy in London, where Greenpeace supporters, including rock star Bryan Adams, coloured in a placard-size version of the flyer.

Last Friday Airside helped our good friends at the Design Museum celebrate their 20th birthday by baking them a cake. Our contribution to their Birthday Cake Bakeoff was this deliciously daring piece of fornicating food, designed by us and baked by the good people at Konditor & Cook.

Much like those naughty icing ladies, our cake went down well. Now who wants to lick the bowl?

Hurrah! Airside would like to welcome Erica Dorn as our latest intern. A graduate from the ever-great LCC, Erica’s work has not gone unnoticed – well, with a stare like that, it’s hard not too.

A particular favourite of ours is her small scale sculptural piece, Anatomy of Intimacy (below). Check this out and more at her excellent website www.erica-dorn.com.

When the Galapagos Conservation Trust asked Airside to produce a set of postcards featuring Boobies, we started thinking about those saucy 1930’s postcards.

But then we realised they were talking about the Blue-Footed Booby – a native of the Galapagos Islands.

As part of a campaign to help preserve the unique, native species of the Pacific Ocean UNESCO World Heritage site, the Galapagos Conservation Trust wanted to introduce the islands’ animals to children. They set up the Tortoise Club and asked Airside to create a set of postcards, stickers and badges to be given free to schools.

Ok so our take on the Blue-Footed Booby, Marine Iguana, Galapagos Sea Lion, Penguin, Giant Tortoise and Sally Lightfoot Crab might not be exactly biologically accurate, but they sure are cute. And somewhat more educational than a Carry-On style cartoon.

Shameless plug time! Our client Vitsœ has launched a collection of starter packs that can help sort out your storage needs, without you needing to break the bank.
