Proof that I can advertise.

Now we all know that Flunitrazepam (Rohypnol) has had some bad press of late. So i'm having a go at designing a poster that will reshape the image of the product. It's in keeping with the pharmaceutical posters from the 60's and 70's, but with a hip new image and a fresh 2010 vibe. if you want to hire me as an advertising executive based on this poster then you can contact me at the usual address.

Aerial Landscape photos one is of meat town from the air. And the other is an aerial photo of paint town.

You should go and look on it because it's all updated and i've cut off all the extra toes, so it can pass as sensible and normal. tried to stream line it a bit. don't want too many distractions. goodbye online shop. i'm not sending crap around in jiffy bags anymore. etc.

bus

i feel like i've been hit by a bus. which isn't brilliant. I am stuck in bed. but i want to be painting. I don't understand what a haiku is. i might look it up on wikipedia and then write a haiku.

ok looked up writing haiku

do not really understand the process yet

but i am tired now

supposedly 5/7/5 over 3 lines. but dunno.

time to do some painting

otherwise probably will do more bad haiku

which would not be great.

Book and meat

Eating raw meat makes me feel more awake. And vinegar is published. I have the books. If anyone wants one then email me.

MIKE ON: Childhood Obesity

Welcome to the new segment of this fantastic blog where, as a bachelor of the arts (hons), I will be tackling the important sociological discussions of the day. In a piece i like to call:

Childhood Obesity is frequently in the public consciousness via the media and glory hunting celebrity chefs, who i will not name for legal reasons.

The question is "should children have the right to chose to be fat?". The point is, that children aren't stupid. Small and uninformed yes. Stupid no.

They should have food education lessons where they are shown a video of famous fat people and force fed cake...

=

then shown a video of a famous skinny person and force fed cigarettes and cocaine.

=

The child will begin to rationalise the two states of being. Fat. Skinny. Neither is good in the extreme. But then they are informed. The child then has the right to be a little chip gorging tubby or not.

Physical education in school is a false description of running around a cold field while bigger kids kick their ass and teachers call them names. Self esteem issues are at this point being developed that will stay with the child for the rest of their life. So the argument that the nhs spends millions on the results of obesity is ridiculous considering the cost of treating the neurotics that the school p.e. Sessions cause. (60 million prescriptions are written for mental health medications every year)

Not to mention the need to become a goth or listen to rap music and indulge in knife crime. Both huge costs to the tax payer.

Essentially "enforced" exercise is boring and can result in bullying, but playing computer games and eating deep fried mayonnaise clots is also a negative plan because it results in poor imagination, interpersonal skills and health problems. So children need to have the right to choose. If they want to be fat then let them, (parents making their kids fat for christmas as a cheap alternative to turkey or with laziness via cooking and over feeding are a different matter obviously).

The plan I have laid out could save the government at least £4 a year and the lives of untold people. Let children choose the right to be the shape they want. In a few years they will resent you for their condition either way. And most importantly stress is a more pressing disease to children. (the stressed child pictured below is only 7 years old).

Thank you for reading. You may one day save someone's life*.

*Not a guarantee

Fat kids are the new black

Painting all afternoon and will resume this evening. Finished another cube today and exploded a slip trailer over a 4 metre radius. Put a piece of paint shrapnel into my knuckle to the bone. Didn't even notice. Was too busy on my new painting which is a 8 foot x 5 foot self portrait of me dressed in my grad robes. The bottom photo is of me parting the clouds with my brain.

3 interesting thoughts that are nothing to do with my brain.

‎"Man has mounted science, and is now run away with. I firmly believe that before many centuries more, science will be the master of men. The engines he will have invented will be beyond his strength to control. Someday science may have the existence of mankind in its power, and the human race commit suicide, by blowing up the world."

Henry Adams -1862

"Today, a particularly insidious obstacle to the task of education is the massive presence in our society and culture of that relativism which, recognising nothing as definitive, leaves as the ultimate criterion only the self with its desires. And under the semblance of freedom it becomes a prison for each one, for it separates people from one another, locking each person into his or her own ego."

Pope Benedict XVI - 2005

"[Contemporary man] is blind to the fact that, with all his rationality and efficiency, he is possessed by "powers" that are beyond his control. His gods and demons have not disappeared at all; they have merely got new names. They keep him on the run with restlessness, vague apprehensions, psychological complications, an insatiable need for pills, alcohol, tobacco, food – and, above all, a large array of neuroses."

Jung - 1964

Devon is very beautiful. Had a morning at Richards and then finished up the latest batch of dust piggies.

I'm finding myself increasing interested in the possibilities of clay construction. It's such an interesting and subtly material. Unpredictable with knowledge, predictable with knowledge. It becomes apparent that it's rules can be bent and shaped. This I learn from watching Richard. And it is fascinating. I'm exhausted. I had a bacon and egg sandwich for breakfast but no lunch.
