Where to find me online

So we're almost into April of the year 2013 and I haven't posted any updates here so far. Hmm... I probably should do something about that. In the meantime, here's a run down of where you can currently find me online...

Twitter
Cardboard Kid who also has his very own Twitter and Facebook pages.

365 Day Projects
Northern Quarter Street Art - Rolling along.

Today Cardboard Kid - Singing a song.

Regularly Updated
Oxford Road Street Art - updated every weekday for the time being, but I suspect it won't be long before I run out of photographs, which is when it'll switch over to postings on an ad-hoc basis.

The Manchester Bees - it turns out that there are still many bees to hunt down around Manchester. Also, Natalie Shrieking Violet Bradbury wrote a lovely article for Creative Tourist on the history of the bee which included a link over to the tumblr page. Thank you guys!

42 Manchester - Spun off from the Street Art MCR blog below, I'm currently aiming to find Forty Two 42's around the city. I think I'll have found the target number by the summer.

Rarely Updated
Street Art MCR - I'd planned on running a weekly update here but haven't had the time to get the posts rolling out. Oh well.

Cardboard Kid Sticker Collection - One new entry so far this year. If you 'd like to help, you can request a few stickers here.

There's also the no longer updated Cardboard Covers and Quebec Street Art (which I might resurrect in the future, if tumblr hasn't shut down by then). And under the heading of coming soon(ish), there is Colour of Light, Monuments of Manchester, and Manchester's Cobblestones.

Radisson Edwardian Crests

A few of the crests visible along the exterior of the Radisson Edwardian Hotel on Peter Street. The bees of course are a symbol of Manchester (and have already been added to The Manchester Bees), but I don't know the origin of the other two. Does anyone have any ideas or can suggest an online resource?

The Manchester Bees

The Manchester Bees is a little tumblr project I started a little while ago, with the aim of documenting all the bee symbols that can be found in and around Manchester. I'm sure everyone has noticed the bees that adorn the bollards and bins of the city centre, but as the bee has been a symbol of Manchester ever since the industrial revolution, I thought it might be interesting to see just how much it has been integrated into the city.


Initially it looked as though there wouldn't be that many to find but, after a fair amount of wandering the city centre looking upwards (something that might well lead to another tumblr project in the near future), I've actually come across quite a number and there's still a couple of places I haven't made it to yet (the Town Hall being the prime candidate).

If you have any photographs that could be added to the collection they can be submitted here. I'm especially interested in photos from the Manchester Day Parades - the street sweepers at the tail-end this year looked fantastic in their bee-regalia.

You can find the tumblr page here and there's also a googlemap if you'd like to see their locations. And yes, I will be re-photographing the Portico Library bees when I get a chance.
