HONDA- The Dream Factory JULY 2010
"Artist, engineer and designer, Benedict Radcliffe finds it hard to explain exactly what it is he does. However the one continuous stream is his aesthetic, playful, clean and energetic. With some well known works under his belt such as a two rear-ended car, a wire framed sculpture of a Nike Air Max shoe and six seater motorbike.
Honda has launched their ‘Dream Factory’ project, an exciting new venture set to accentuate the ideas, visions, dreams and innovations of a select group of creative individuals. From musicians, artists, film-makers and product designers to social entrepreneurs, the concept of the Dream Factory is to inspire and motivate the creative mind."

RED BULL FRIDGE - AUGUST 2010
I was asked by Red Bull to be part of the Canvas Cooler Project- fifteen or so artists customise a Red Bull fridge. I made a structure enclosing the fridge and then a steel 'aeriel'. Big up Oscar Reutersvard, Roger Penrose and Fergus Palace Purcell.
BMW SKULL BONNET - APRIL 2010
I
Following my other BMW bonnets, I did the bodywork myself: the eyes had to be cut out and filled and the mouth had to be skimmed over. I then gave the bonnet to a garage I have used before to spray it fluro orange. A disaster- the bodyfiller bled through. They charged me too. I had to take it back down to the bare metal and start again. I was livid but Louis sorted it out. It was a good exercise in if you want something done properly... The bonnet turned out OK after I compounded it but there was a couple of areas where the filler still bled through. Spraying is hard. The skull was hand painted on.
