So We Say - Post-it Pat

These were put up in Sheffield, U.K, recently. I'm not sure what Postman Pat would think of such notes, but hopefully they made his daily collection a bit more unusual.

Scenes From The Philippines

Stuck on a mug outside a "Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf" branch in the Philippines.

We had our first doodle in a Dutch library but I think this is closer to the "work of art" category. Anyways, So We Say must be the scourge of coffee houses in the Philippines now. And those coffee drinking art types must get off on the post-its. The coffee shop is our gallery.

So We Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside

Ok, ok, you can't see any sea exactly but it's near enough. These photos were sent all the way from down on the south coast in Bournemouth, U.K. As can be seen on the note, the lyrics are from a band called Menomena who are actually pretty ace, you can check them out at:

www.myspace.com/menomena

They were rather aptly stuck to a tree down there in a park. And as far as I'm aware, are as yet unfound.

Interest is still building in So We Say, with people now wanting to get involved in both Russia and Israel. That's awesome, so keep posting and keep spreading the word!

So We Say in America

So I got all excited when I saw an email turn up in my inbox all the way from Ohio in America. It not only contained someone excited by the project but probably one of the best So We Say post-its so far. This was taken at a good ol' American gas station over there in Ohio. Not only is it a class set of post-its but it's a brilliant photo.

The email also pointed me in the direction of www.openfluxus.com which is a great site for any artists out there to exchange ideas and talk to artists all around the world. There's some really cool stuff on there too for the people who just like staring at pictures.

First we're over the Channel, then down in the Philippines before heading back across the pond to the U.S.A. Let's keep the word spreading.

So We Say on Facebook

So it seems that absolutely everything these days is Facebook orientated (I'd probably forget my birthday if it wasn't for that thing)...and I've decided to follow suit. It's a nice place for people to swap ideas in terms of words, doodles, places to stick them up or just get some inspiration. Something that blogspot can't really offer at the moment. People can also check out all the different people currently wanting to get involved with So We Say.

There's a bit of a gallery on there, but the one here is a lot more extensive currently.

If you're on Facebook and would like to join the simply do a group search for "So We Say" or click this handy hyperlink http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/group.php?gid=31306091977

So We Say - Words Can Last A Lifetime

The collapse of the economy plays into the hands of So We Say

Have no regrets. History looks not at the "what ifs?" but the what is.

A pre-graffiti'd bus-stop in Sheffield.

I'd quite like to have been the person that found this one.

Friends of So We Say have already begun to send in their photos or stick up post-its throughout their towns and environments. These two were placed in Sheffield, U.K. where the idea is slowly picking up momentum. This city is a blank canvas waiting to be covered in yellow and biro pen.

Interest has also been shown in the rest of the U.K from Edinburgh to Nottingham. Post-its were even placed on condom packets and chewing gum in a London branch of Tesco.

I'm really enjoying receiving emails with people liking the idea and getting involved. The idea has blown up so much in 48 hours and I hope it continues to grow.

Anyways, I'm going to continue to post-it for the rest of the week. A bus is my next target. I hope you all keep sending your photos and ideas in.

Back In The U.K

The Infamously English Red Phone Box

A post-it stuck inside.

So I've been really pleased with the response so far that I felt really encouraged to do a few more this morning. In total I put four post-it notes up, ranging from a shop door to a post box. I spent a lot more time on one though and managed to get a picture of it.

A lyric I've always liked and I thought it'd fit in nicely in a phone box. Something for someone to have a gaze at whilst phoning the AA.
