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!
Sunday
REAR WINDOW
popped out into the back garden
nice and creepy
the result of using the round bits left over from a hole punch
stuck them onto some acetate..
it was quite tricky to photograph on my own
torch in mouth
camera in one hand
artwork in t'other..
Hmmm, will figure it out for next time.

Saturday
FORGIVE ME MY SINS
'Forgive Me My Sins' a short film about a mortician who finds that his latest corpse (a suicide) has some things to discuss!
For the credits I hand cut everyones names - took a while, but I am getting faster.
Volunteers for feet and hands cast shadows onto my stage. My stage being my embroidery frame with paper taped to it, and my cut-out names taped to that. Then I just experimented with the shadows and added the rest of the titles in photoshop.
I am starting to really like this technique!
