Same day, different topic post. Wanted to blog two bands I enjoyed live recently (Ear Whacks #10 at the Continental, Preston).
Winters in Osaka: http://www.myspace.com/wintersinosaka1
(brain-pleasing sound-scape textures/noise. I need to find out how to make stuff like this)
and; Al-Thawra: http://www.myspace.com/althawra
(loud anarcho punk type stuff, who can strum so fast their hands cannot be percieved by human eyes..)
Got no pictures of said bands; instead have posted a nice/grim picture of a dead bird I saw on my (last ever) trip home from the studio. (a trip which takes about a minute - aah student living). RIP bird dude.
Got my degree results (first class) and an offer to show my work in a Manchester gallery (International 3) in the space of two days. Good times! Here's some pictures of said work:
(untitled degree show piece, 70 cards, mixed media, on themes of Absurdist philosophy, existential consciousness and anti-theism)
Unfortunately, 5 pieces were stolen during the degree show, so I'll have to remake them. Can't get my head around someone being so disrespectful, but I guess if anything its weirdly flattering. After all, I wanted them to be tactile and desirable..
Hopefully going to build a proper website and figure out this blogging deal (would help to get some followers? ha) within the next couple of weeks. Time to be a real 'person'...or a real 'artist' at least!
obligatory first hello/welcome post!
I'm Steph, artist/'existence detective' - just graduated BA Fine Art (time will tell what grade..)
I shall be filling this space with drawings, photos, zine stuff, links, and whatever else may tickle my fancy. I have a feeling this blogging malarkey will turn into an addiction, or be forgotten about in a matter of weeks.
