Haters gonna hate
I have always been proud of the fact I got as far as I have without going to Uni, but the time has come to knuckle down and get some skills. I know where I want to go its just hard to get there without that level of education and understanding. Its not a bad thing if you haven’t been to Uni, I just know I will treasure the whole experience and not waste it.
I got busy making babies first and marrying my sweetheart, now its time for me…
I had these two little people first
I love my girl
Just gotta see if they let me in first, ah come on Portsmouth Uni you know you want me, right?
If I draw things will it change anything?
Im feeling very pensive at the moment, spending any great deal of time at home always makes me super restless. I guess I will churn out loads of drawings whilst listening to Elliot Smith.
I drew these two yesterday, it made me feel happy for a short while.
You will fall in love with me.
Just bumming around on the computer today and did this.
A list of stuff for 2012
So basically this is the ‘plan’ for next year…
- Do some kick ass volunteer/intern stuff with Gasworks.
- Go to Brooklyn with Ashley John and meet Steve Powers.
- I really want to d.j live, basically I want have the power to make people I don’t know dance.
- Go to Uni in September 2012 and do an Illustration degree.
I guess a lot will change next year, but I cant really say for sure yet!
Happy Lapin Christmas
Happy Christmas to all my lovely readers! We have just finished opening our gifts and I have the most wonderful t-shirt from Bored and the a wrap/scarf with a fox, bunny and bird on it.
Here are some nice pictures to look at, have a terrific day!
Boys who do it well: part 11
Ahoy there its Friday so that means its your weekly dose of creative fellas! Ooh its been a difficult choice this week especially with the submissions coming in. So without further ado…
First up its Mark Persaud the guy behind Divine Aesthetic and part of C.O.R crew . Obviously a very creative chap and strong part of the cultural scene here in Portsmouth, oh and he is responsibly for the Pompey Eye Test! I think that he deserves a special place in the BWDIW hall of fame. Mark we salute you!
I wrote a little bit about this dude on Strong Island the other day cause I totally love his photography, its Josh Knill. I was checking out his fims on Vimeo today and love this time lapse bike ride from his home to Eldon Building. He is also part of Sock Puppet Productions a creative design collective, go check them out!
Lastly a guy whose music I’m really loving at the moment its Ben Cooper aka Radical Face. Just one of those musicians you kind of come across by accident, a happy accident. Acoustic,orchestral, warm, ahh whats not to love.
I thought I would leave you with a little Christmas post card I made of Devendra Banhart, enjoy.
Small plastic toys, gallery jaunt and beer
So yesterday was pretty much everyones last day at the gallery before the Christmas holidays. Amy put together an amazing pass the parcel with ‘crap from our houses’ and Ollie and I smuggled in a huge box of profiteroles to the Customs House. As usual the night ended in The Dog and as I tottered back home in my high heels I saw a pair of white trainers hanging over a phone line on Devonshire Ave, topped it off for me!

pass the parcel win
dirty filthy loveliness hidden under the table
