as the second is here this friday i unfortunately will not be attending due to a clash with my best buddy back homes 21st. gutting as this time round is the first trial run of opening informal workshops.

VJing is something that has appealed to me a lot but i have nevere known anybopdy who does it or any strating point or way into the discipline. its definately something i hope to pursue and find out a bit more about now i know there is such a following in the leeds area.

came across this yesterday, still attempting to hunt down whteher it is to happen again or whether the events are done and dustded



fingers crossed.

WEB_DESIGN

just completed my website, a sure improvement on last years effort. Learned the use of framesets and iframes. still alot of tweaking needed and plenty i want to change. Infact, having gained new knowledge in creating my second site i again feel the urge to start entirely from scratch and design a better one.

BOOKS.

Just invested in a few new books. Happy xmas to me!

NCC_ lost control
HORT_ hort
ALTITUDE_ contemporary swiss graphic design

All absolutely fantastic. Highly recomend each and every.
Altitude is worth a mention purely for its unique make up. with an open boud spine, complete card box dust sheet and old traditional material cover. I LOVE IT, it could be entirely empty.. i still would have bought it.

christmas time

With a strong interest and curiosity of the ins and outs of childhood, returning home to visit my 5 younger brothers and sisters is always intriguing.

unfortunately this is a waste of time as my phone just broke and i lost all the photo's.....................
but there was a mint picture of a robin, some wooden toys and a best of the best, xmas tree decoration, tacky fantastical reindeer.

you'll have to take my word for it till next year.

barcelona dec/07

1p there, £10 back.. CHEAP AS CHIPS.
worth a mention

worth a mention for sure, these nuts home made log figurines that kept poppin up all over the shop.

regrettably i didn't purchase one and i didn't even get any of my own pictures. it didn't really register when i first saw them, probably through exhaustian and lack of sleep but i soon realised what a gem i'd missed out on.
i think they're mint. the fact that every one is hand crafted and hand painted means no two are the same and they differ form stall to stall as you walk dwn the road.

perhaps the rerason i didn't buy one as the first stall i saw were so shit that they were magnificantly brilliant and not to be matched. i figured to buy any other was to be an unjustice.

a couple of links explaining their purpose if you're wondering as i did_

also worth a mention_


ace guide to barca on th ealternative side,. super super handy form a hip finger on the pulse student point of view. would recommend using it in conjunction with a boring guide book too, just for accuracy and detail they missed out.

FAKE CHRISTMAS.

Like the look of customized vinyl toys but not sure i agree with the price put on designer vinyl. until now i've avoided the area. That was until i was tralling through poundland and spotted some little rip off vinyl figures that were closer to crap kids toys with bog standard designs plastered all over. Any way bought a couple and painted one for my girlfriend. Pretty chuffed with the outcome though rough around the edges. face is a bit crap close up, biro perhaps not the best choise of instrument. And every time you open and close the box the paint cracks. still..





the bears head is actually backwards, if you turn it round it has the full on 3d profile of a cartoon bear.
