Pretentious tea company

I haven't done anything remotely creative for two days. Apart from leaving this crossword inside another paper.

Journey so far...

Between yesterday and today I fell asleep for an hour and had a lucid stress dream, got up at 5.30am and forgot my iPod and earphones. So when got to the station I bought some earphones for £2.50 thinking awesome. Oh no mon frere. Price is indicative directly of the amount of ear pain induced. To their credit at least they had a level sound quality despite the cracking of poor quality leads.

Then I bought another set of earphones in Bristol temple meads. They however are excessively bass laden and where £10.99 and they were white which was stupid because the only people stupid enough to make White ear phones are apple (who makes White earphones for a black product? Design geniuses my ass) but why the f--k make a accessory in White??? It doesn't with anything. They've been making black stereo equipment for fucking decades, so why make White earphones now? Especially as peripherals with no relation to a direct product. I will continue complaining via the individual photos.



This was sold as a convenient solution was how the f--k is it convenient when it can't be opened? Lucky I was carrying a craft knife and then could cut open the package. And the bass is at expense of ANY tempo.



What the hell kind of advert is this for Christianity? I don't really understand it. So what the f--k is the idea of that? These always annoy me these posters. Richard Dawkins annoys me in that he doesn't allow people to have their own beliefs, and edits his programs and cuts other peoples answers. Not really in the spirit of open discussion. Not sure why i mentioned it. But these posters are so stupid.



My favourite bird photoing place. Platform 8.



These earphones felt like they raped my ears.


Amazing sky.


Again.


Again.


Again.


Dawning sun.

Disappear in complete disarray

Been having a weird patch of productive non productivity. Or the other way around. I've been painting, but I feel like writing a bit. It's been a while, and there is so much you can abstract in a painting so that you can circumvent the detail that you'd put in a story. But I get frustrated with other peoples lack of imagination. They either read a story or don't. But they invariably look at a painting and turn and say "so what's this about?". I am actually boring myself complaining about it.

The Internet is so over.

Real life. Paper. Fishcakes. Bits of cheese. That is where it's at.

I might stop doing the dust piggies online and take it paper.

No one takes pride in anything anymore.

The shitty varnish guys have decided to use a crap nozzle on their new cans. It's a cheap piece of shit that drips blobs of varnish like all the other crap brands. No one takes pride in anything anymore. Just for a few pounds. To illustrate my point here is a new style of painting that fits the bill.

And this will cost you £600 pounds to buy. Value for money eh?

Looking up.

I'm like the tony montana of noodles

I checked the product. Like new York snow. Checked the numbers. Someone in the operation has been stepping on my shit. It's not the asian connection, it's the middleman.

As the desert descends (2010)

Summer tapes that turn my bath into a car (2010)

simply put. this painting is about listening to the same music in the bath that you listen to when you are driving to the beach or to the river.

My new piece

It's a pretty serious comment on American neoconservatism's new imperialism yeah? Like the world has got to wake up and get george w bush out of the white house. This is the kind of stuff I'll be producing now. I've gone conceptual.

photo montage from the train

this could be slower but you should give your subconscious a bit of a workout. pbabbpbpbpb. (that's the noise of me blowing with my tongue in my mouth hole)

cha cha cha

i have been painting a bunch, but need varnish to seal them before i post any photos. i'm doing some different stuff and some similar stuff, in an evolving way. I am very tired. need to update my website. went for a swim in the river earlier and hung out with my cousins which was nice. then fell asleep on the sofa, woke up and ate a fajita and now i'm going to bed.


i took this from a train window.
