Christmas.

Forgot to post this the other day. Saw this when I was waiting for my train. Quite a nice sentiment.

The Meaning of Liff.

How cool is this book. Pretty much pocket size its about 7/10ths of the size of a usual paper back. And a bargain at something like £2. Its written by Douglas Adams And John Lloyd.

Avatar.

So, this film looks rubbish, in my opinion. And the game looks even worse. But worst of all is the flipping posters, enough of the half face design. Face/Off Did it and many many other films have too. Can we get some nice poster design back? What happened to people caring about their advertising. Some of the good posters I've seen recently though (on a more positive note (I'm also going to apologise in advance for jumping on the band wagon for this)) is Where The Wild Things Are, easily my most anticipated film of the year, what a lovely poster they've made for it. Also, check out the poster for Moon that came out last year? Davie Bowies sons? Sci-fi film. That was pretty good too.

Research Video.

At Uni we got given a brief to make a 1 minute video showing the research we'd undertaken. For it I linked it back to my own work by scanning everything. I also made the music using noises from the scanner.

Scanner.

So recently I discovered my scanner as an way of producing work. Really enjoying making and the process that I have started to create doing so. Here's a couple of examples.

This firstly is an image I took with my Diana F+. Took to a shop and got developed. Then scanned.


And second, I have been attempting to create grotesque portraits. Almost caricatures. That are funny, but also fairly dark... scary even?

Silver-Hips.

Well the photography was a pretty good success. Here's a couple of the photos.

Silver Hip's.

Tonight is Silver Hip's at Hi-fi. Some how I managed to rope myself into taking photos for them as like event photography type of ordeal. So wish me luck eh! First time ever for me to be doing this. Got a MATE getting in free so we'll probably have a laugh.

For the sake of being inspired.

Tonight my brain is going haywire. This post is almost for me more than anything (it's not as if anyone even reads this anyway). My synapses must be healthy today. These ideas are like SUPER clear. I don't want to post them and ruin the surprise to my audience of probably nobody, but I hope they're fun/light hearted/maybe a bit quirky/very cinematic (Its conceivably going to be a short film/video).

This, is Edward Hoppers "Nighthawks" (1942). Perfect isn't it? This image has been and is being a massive inspiration to my work. Hopefully I will be able to pay my dues.

For sake of being bored.

Trains are pretty boring places to be. Free wi-fi is a bonus mind you.
So just thought I'd post a picture(/'s) that I took, which is a bit strange... I don't know if you have any 3d glasses around but I don't know what it'll do. Probably just give you a head ache. Oh and if youve been watching Channel 4's 3D week those glasses definitely won't work. They're set up for Amber/Navy 3d Images.

Ascii-Mazing.

Yeah so I've been looking at Ascii art recently. Its fucking time consuming.
I'm working on a short Sci-Fi Film, this it part of it.


And also, I drew President Obama for giggles.

Sticks and stones may break my bones.

But my Lomo will never fail me.





Just been having a look through my photos from recent... got more to scan and put on the inter web. But I'm bored and Blogger seems to be my new cyber fad. I go through fazes between posting 200 tweets in a day to only using Flickr... My digital life is more complicated than my real one. What's going on! Glad I'm not a WOW geek too.

We have house parties.

14/11/09
Yeah so, we had a house party in celebration of Amy's 21st birthday.
2 rooms of DJ's. It was MESSY.
More photos HERE.
And if you have me on Facebook almost all from the night are there.

Fresh.

Today I found out the password to my blog (Finally). So, I've deleted all past posts to start a fresh. And hopefully become a bit more committed to keeping this up-to-date.
