IDOLS

"Rose & Meta Rothery , farm managers near Cowra. Rose (on right) paints finely detailed imagery upon river rocks . Amongst my collection Cathy Freeman is my favourite. A portrait of Elvis Presley won a commendable mention at the Carcoar Show."

Bit of a fail

but i tried! And made whole £3. Although with the sickening deadline the day before, I was happy that i generated anything for the London Zine Symposium (Sat 29th)

With my penchant for bad taste, i made a mini collection of... bad taste things. they were all unintentionally animal related (a carmen miranda duck, dog costumes, glass bird ornaments) just done in continuous line. Here are some pictures that i lifted from the Nest facebook group, complete with some unimpressed looks. Maybe £1.50 was too steep? [mine's the 'good taste bad taste one in the bottom left]

why oh why...

...does my cv and pdf combo look so baaaaaaaaaaaad. Actually no, I quite like it but i think i shouldn't because every page looks different.

I am, however, yielding to my penchant for bad taste and all things tack for my zine for the London Zine Symposium. Many bits flying around my head but hopefully i'll set them down tomorrow. Here's a cheeky teaser...

Sexy People

I don't care if it's old news! I hadn't been on the Sexy People blog in a while and the few minutes of renewed joy it gave me, as im so so nearly at the end of my essay but really not, were invaluable.

i want to paste my walls with these beauties

Brain like a Sieve

Nothings happening. Its awful. I have a crit on friday where we have to show 5 objects/drawings/collages etc. based around the east london line. i've found out some really interesting facts around the area but the thing is that they all have to be based around ONLY ONE of the stations (haggerston, hoxton and dalston junction). All my potentials are spread around east.

I'm looking at artist's work and stuff hoping it'll trigger SOMETHING, but alas no. shit.

And what makes it worse is that this is the stuff that i love doing! Making stuff. Nicey fabric. Pretending im old. i don't want this to be shit, but i dont know what to do.

Probably about time to pour over the Art of Looking Sideways in the hope that something will happen.....

Those little guys are the only thing pulling me through it seems.
