Finetune…

December 12, 2006
 

I’m not normally a fan of all these social networking web2.0 type thingie’s, but I quite like http://www.finetune.com, it lets you create and share audio ‘mixes’ - basically creating your own internet radio station of all your favourite tracks and bands…

…here’s an example one I made… (i’ll make a better one later!)

…yes I was an 80’s post punk shoegazer…

Spam Poetry

October 26, 2006
 

Got this today, it appeals for some reason…

A stovepipe somewhat pees on the paternal short order cook. A ball bearing defined by the skyscraper operates a small fruit stand with a hockey player over the sheriff. A tabloid beyond the wheelbarrow caricatures a squid about a vacuum cleaner. A lover caricatures the fairy related to the bottle of beer, and a worldly chain saw figures out an apartment building. The pig pen from a sandwich seeks a movie theater from a blood clot, but some cough syrup from some football team barely organizes a fighter pilot.
The chess board about the defendant A submarine is South American. Any vacuum cleaner can organize a rude cloud formation, but it takes a real tornado to bury the pompous polar bear. Now and then, an almost tattered movie theater pours freezing cold water on a satellite beyond some vacuum cleaner. Indeed, a briar patch takes a peek at the hairy squid.
A revered polar bear.
Most people believe that a sheriff near a buzzard makes a truce with the spider about another grain of sand, but they need to remember how knowingly a dust bunny daydreams. The lover defined by another hole puncher secretly finds subtle faults with a psychotic sheriff. The familiar vacuum cleaner negotiates a prenuptial agreement with the green dust bunny. Indeed, the barely highly paid salad dressing non-chalantly borrows money from the impromptu CEO. The industrial complex inside an eggplant trades baseball cards with a secretly annoying paycheck.

Cai Guo-Qiang

September 5, 2006
 

I don’t normally blog about art, I just like to appreciate it - but I was introduced to this guys work today and what I saw blew me away, stunning, beautiful, meaningful images…

It was this piece he’s just produced which is on show in germany that did it…

Flying Wolf Pack

*The wolves were produced in Quanzhou, China, from January to June of 2006. The commissioned local workshop in Cai’s hometown specializes in manufacturing remarkable, life-sized replicas of animals. First, small clay models were created as movement studies, out of which Cai subsequently developed Head On’s artist editions of cast resin wolves. However, the realistic and lifelike 99 wolves that grew out of these models and drawings possess no literal remnants of wolves: they are fabricated from painted sheepskins and stuffed with hay and metal wires, with plastic lending contour to their faces and marbles for eyes.
