Whats been going on! hmmm

i’ll post some images you get the idea, i have been getting rather bored of things not really happening, so of course i have been trying to make things happen myself, its all one can do. I do find my own company ok, but too much of it of course in not the best of things!.  

I am yet to start my job in the care home, waiting to hear about my police check (CRB) of course its spotless, but its vulnerable people i will be working with, so of course they have to check things!. so whilst i am waiting to at last be earning some money, i have had my artworks to attend to. which is just trawling along, not a lot to actually talk about the artworks. well i could but its really not all that interesting to talk about the things i am doing you will see them when they are done!. i have been carving quite a bit of random stuff.

i went to the first meeting of a scifi/horror book club, which was interesting, and i will be collecting the book i am going to read (Enders game) from the library tomorrow. there was three of us at the first meeting for the book club, i was the worst there, the others had read an amazing amount of books which was very impressive, but the whole reason to join a book club, is to get ideas from people that know their stuff, so its all very good indeed. so that was last tuesday, then i went to knitting club, and i hope to have the sowing done on tuesday for my scarf, and well lets just say i hope in about two weeks to have it all done, with backing fabric on and everything!. 

last weekend was fun, as i went to a football match with a good friend, then went back to London with him, and stayed with him in hackney for the night, got to do some great chilling at long last with some of his friends at their apartment, and watched a DVD and got in a curry with them which was great, Social stuff to be doing, of which i do not get to do any of here in reading! BLEH!… 

planning out where life is heading, its hard to say, so much is pending on this job and earning some money, so much is pending on some lucky breaks, i will hopefully be able to step up my game, as far as selling my work goes, as soon as i get the money with which to start producing the work in a way i would like to… Paris map, i hope goes down well with the world….  i have a website idea i am developing and in talks with a few people about, that will also take some money to get it off the ground… so its all going to be about, me investing in myself, over the next year or so… see where i am at, if i can move somewhere new in the next year, then great, as it gets tedious being here in my home town not very exciting,

went for a chilled out walk to a local park that over looks the town tonight, that was nice, and sunsetting, got some pictures i will put below, and yea bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh…..

 

Below!.. i was at life drawing.. and the tutor said to pick two candy sweets then tell her what they said!. this was quite a few weeks ago!. and i drew this on the life drawing sketch i was making at the time!.

Just another Random Carving

Jacques Went berzerk in London

Man what a day i had in London last saturday. basically i went into London to meet a friend Jacques, who i used to play early morning golf with in Falmouth, next to swanpool beach. We Decided to go around some galleries for the day..

Due to Jacques Hardcore lifestyle, we had to meet in London at 1pm, though also because of the Star Status of this guy he turned up an hour late, though he did bring me a chocolate Donut to make up for it! soo that went down a treat!, we were all set to get cracking with hitting up the galleries, Jacques was all organized with a hand drawn map. BAM! we got to the first gallery and IT WAS CLOSED!… Jacque Flipped at this point.

We decided to carry on and find some more galleries, They cant all be closed we were thinking!!! but man so we get on the underground, and decide on another gallery to go to! by this point though its getting late!. but we make it!. i forget the name of it, but wow it had some interesting architecture pieces in!!! we split up and went out separate ways in the gallery. i really liked the what looked like huge doors like about 20 foot tall, made me think about how cool it would look on the house i want to design one day!. also saw some other interesting works, really enjoyed looking at sculptural pieces!!!! and will have to remember to try this out one day!…

so we had nearly 40 mins in here, then set off again! we then went to the apple store to check if Jacques could get new headphones, as his ipod ones were broken! but his luck was out and his warranty had expired, jacque nearly flipped but i calmed him down.

soo yea jacque was nearly all flipped out, it was lucky that the next gallery we go to near the apple store is a photography one!! wahoooo it was amazing, and it made me want to go somewhere ASAP. as it had interesting photos from all different places all over the world, from like the last 30 years!. jacque was very happy by this exhibition and had calmed down from his flips… so we were here until closing time, then went to the tate modern, on the way looking at the Heyward entrance to see it was closed, jacque did not flip at this as luckily we were expecting it to be closed… though we did go buy some food stuffs… jacque downed a liter of Chocolate milk, some how i’m not sure!!.. and i had a duck wrap! which went down really well…

went to the tate modern! the exhibition was out of my price range!. Jacques went in though, and got in cheap as a guy sold him a cheap ticket! so that made him happy, i left at about 8pm, and yea got him one and a half hours later, and chilled out, did some more map design stuff…

——-

Not much else to report, Paris map design done!, life is going well, been doing more random Carvings!! hmm but no where to print, so looks like they will not be getting printed for a while!. i’ll put the carvings below with the pictures of me and J’s day out though!. byeeeee

Website needs updating + other stuff

So i really do need to update my site!. i need to make this wordpress work better in my site or make it stand alone, i just left it to a default Design… i might make it and not in an Iframe!. as its all terrible at the moment! scrolling is rubbish!.

in other news i have done some news works, as part of a collaboration with an australian artist Heidi Nowak,

here is the time lapse and i’ll post some images too!:



yea i have a spelling error in “Weird” but i suppose it makes it that much “weirder”

carrying on with paris map design, had a job interview today!! hope i get it!.
swimming about 5 days a week, its going fine! getting better at it thats for sure!, and its weird but i’m not that exhausted after 100 lengths, it seems like my mental capacity to just do what i got to do helps, and the whole never quit attitude…

i need money so i can buy a press
i need money so i can actually have some sort of resemblance of a social life…
whaaaaaa blah blah blah!. i complain lots about this to myself!. the sooner i get a job the better!!.. only a part time job, as i dont need much money.. and a part time job will be able to pay for all i need for sure!, as well as paying rent etc!!!!!

well listening to the waifs and working on PM.. soooo gotta go! i feel like making another carving tonight but will hold out! the sooner i get this PM design done, the sooner i can start working on it!, i need to keep saying this to myself!!!!! right BAM! i’m offffff
