BLOOD FACTORY


may do some more factories... hmmm
have always thought that in my last life i was a factory worker
totally love mass production set ups!
have pencilled in 'BONY BLOOD MAKERS' for now,
was going to print the words on, but i quite like writing on 'dem bones.
think i will make some bony stationary too.

Tuesday

SUGARHILL GANG


me and my crew back in da 80s!
golden boy in the front is my brother cian
who last week was scanning in some old family super8 films for a college project...

really must dust off my camera and invest in some more film soon
create some future sentimental journeys

Monday

BLOOD FACTORY


this used to be a factory making some sort of medical blood refining machines
its set in a nice mostly deco 'light industrial' area in manor house.
i tagged along today when the boys were making plans to turn it into their home and studio
when they are all done with the hard work i will have a little piece of it too!
new studio!
yay!

Friday

OUCH!

HAPPY CAMPERS :)



or perhaps unhappy :(

regarding emoticons. when i first saw them being used
i thought it was pretty naff!
but i now confess that i am converted.
i love type and all its ornaments and this evolution
of its' common usage is pretty elegant sometimes.
and cute of course!

Thursday

20p


another cold, rainy day - my kind of day
except when i'm feeling poorly
but my day has been brightened up with tulips
popped into my local, favorite supermarket,
looking seriously bedraggled
a friendly fella at work in the flower section said:
'' 'ere take these for 20p!''
he placed the discount sticker over the barcode and gave them to me
''if they question the price at the till, just tell them tim gave you them!''
there is something nicely old school about him,
like he works in his fathers store and knows all the customers.

of course a couple of the stems were broken, but it still made my miserable day!

ohh and the lamp in the picture is my current favorite,
i think i am starting to develop a certain penchant for lamps,
have definitely got the beginnings of a collection...hmmm

Monday

BONES


check these puppies out!
finally got a box to cheer myself up after a day of forgetting that most shops are closed on sundays and finding things are not quite what they always should be on rainy london days.
don't get me wrong i love rain and i love london, but sunday just wasn't working.
but magma was open! yay!

NEW SCREENS




new screens!
had a play
but playing produced a bigger shopping list than body of work.

need to get:
lots more colours
more mixing medium
nice thick paper
and must go to poundland to get mucho semi-disposable mixing pots

not used to printing on paper with acrylics - all the rage at LCC according to my brother
but for me good ol' fashioned printing inks are better and best
alas not at college anymore so cannot indulge in the freebie inks
boo hoo!

Saturday

CLEO


i used to be a project assistant for the 'heatherwick studio'
lots of weird and wonderful jigs
after working 24hours and doing your 1000th piece
you start seeing things...

FOOD FOR THOUGHT


ok so three months is a bit of a extended hiatus
so thought i would promote 'food for thought'
the best eats in the west-end
covent garden to be precise
my brother and sister here demonstrate its slightly 'unusual' affects!

have just bought two new splendid screens to use at home
so very soon will produce photographic proof of purchase and use!
