Art and writing about the possibility of the imagination to mobilise social change and environmental activism // Through a pop and cult culture approach.
I went to watch the film 'Somewhere', by Sofia Coppola and really liked it because it showed me exactly what i expected of it. Then I kept realising more reasons later why i liked it so much.
- It's perfectly empty of try-hard superlative portrayals and declarations. It doesn't try to be epic.
- It's structure isn't determined by the principle of growth, which is only really hinted at momentarily in the Hollywood actor guy by the arrival, but mainly departure of his daughter.
- The whole film is a level-plane throughout; nothing really improves or worsens for any of the characters.
- Every single character is pseudo-accomplished and unheroic.
-There are no baddies to relish or goodies to apsire to.
- It's midway between the everyday and an art experience.
And the only thing to slightly defy all those things i just said is the daughter Cleo; she improves her dad's situation; makes him less numb to himself and then that results in the tiny hint of personal growth at the end.
I wrote that cos i think i'm gonna use it for uni.
A CD jacket i made... for a CD i made... for someone.
Just done some graphic design for a Regent Street recruitment company in Liberty House (name dropping yep) called Bain & Gray. They wanted birthday cards to send to their clients to celebrate the company's birthday.
Here's some of what I did - They used the top one in the end .
What i did today - from my dream. Sharks are asses. This is maybe some sub/unconscious conquering of any conscious paroxysms of fear i might have.
My friend Addy asked for a drawing of mine for her birthday. She requested it to include a union jack, so it does. It's big and A2 and red white and blue.. so it also rhymes.
And because i seem to love horses so much these days (so much that i'm babysitting one tomorrow night) i included one of them too. ALSO it includes a lot of love for Addy because she's the hottest hospital bed occupier i've ever seen, she always knows when 'the Foosa are coming', and she's a minx.
