SWIM♫DEEP

Merry Monday, I am currently writing this week's lab report and it's a sight for sore eyes to say the least, all four hypotheses rejected. Worst case scenario. LETS JUST SAY I was in need of some spritely encouragement, and in it swooped in the form of these fellas. Recently supporting Two Door Cinema Club (TDCC to the avids out there) in the big BHAM, they have been described as "BEACH GRUNGE". Not entirely sure what that means? Well let this sweet nectar accommodate your ears and ye shall discover.

Only time can tell whether or not I am merely infatuated by the floral trousers.

#SWISSLIPSUNION

Well November was great, chiefly because of the weekly carousing at #THEUNION (it's plain disrespectful not to hashtag it every single time you say it), to mingle merrily with Swiss Lips, Bastille and The Horrors. 

Turns out we look so great in a bathtub that we were subsequently used to advertise #THEUNION.

THE TRAGIC FRAGMENTATION OF GAY PARIS

My iphone hath destroyed Paris in one fell swoop! I actually think the rearranged photos look quite cool, a bit groovy, I'd go so far as to say a bit FUNKY, but what is SO confusing is that it has integrated pictures that I never took!? For example in the bottom right image, the top half is all correctus bien and then the lower half consists a completely new photographs I

 never

took

Only one conclusion can be drawn;

THAT SHIT KRAY

 Ronald and Reginald will see you out.

FUTURISM : EVAN ROTH

Angry Birds All Levels, by interaction designer Evan Roth, consists of a massive 300 sheets of tracing paper, displaying ink designs for every single finger swipe and screen press needed to complete Angry Birds. Moving into new conceptual territory, she's managed to turn a pretty aesthetically unsophisticated game format into these beautiful prints.

PRETTY COOL EH?

Here are some more of her multi-touch finger paintings:

Or just google "bad ass mother fucker"?!!

TIdy.

MAJESTIC CASUAL

Majestic Casual (YouTube music channel) have an excellent set of background images for their videos. Also the music's not bad either, not right up my alley but I've actually grown to really enjoy the Climax remix that I just posted... humble pie time.

SUMMER SPECTRA

Haven't posted on this puppay for ages due to mounting gangrene in the limbs, but I thought I'd make one last attempt to express myself before people start to refer to me as Bob when I am suspended in water. Sure there's a joke somewhere in that.

To enjoy the visual crescendo Solange Knowles' video provides, you must first mute it. Sorry to upset anyone but the music just ain't gravy. As a means of compensation I found an USHER Climax remix to accompany it, because that is exactly what you will do when you watch this video. HAR.

1)SAVE YOURSELF. MUTE THIS. BUT WATCH IT INTENSELY.

2)USHER YOURSELF. PLAY THIS CONCURRENTLY.

CATS CATS CATS CATS

DIY SUNSPEX À LA SONIA RYKIEL

HERE THEY ARE in all their glory.

The originalz-

Figue 2.0 - Sonia Rykiel's jazzy inventions

Thought I'd make my own pair of these stunnahs. 

A simple procedure involving the splendid marriage of eBay, Primark and Superglue. And OTT photography. 

1. BUY HORRIFIC BUG EYE £2 PRIMARK SUNGLASSES. CASUALLY NESTLE IN BOUQUET AND PHOTOGRAPH.

  2. BUY SOME PEARL FLAT-BACKED EMBELLISHMENTS FROM EBAY. DON'T FORGET TO LEAVE THAT FEEDBACK.

3. STICK PEARLS TO GLASSES WITH SUPERGLUE IN A NEAT AND ORDERLY FASHION

4. REALISE THEY ARE COMPLETELY IMPRACTICAL BECAUSE THEY DONT STAY ON YOUR FACE AND THE PEARLS CUT INTO YOUR NOSE BIG TIME.

5. WEEP.

Ode to Karl-

Lovely bit o' Balmain too-

I DID SEE MOROCCO

Well we moved on down to Gibraltar after Marbella to see those CHEEKAY MONKAYS (technically they are apes). Originally we walked all way up the wrong side of the rock, but it still provided an spiffing viewpoint of Gibraltar and east down Costa Del Sol. We were worried that the apes had to gone home for the night but eventually we got the the other side of the rock and there they were, roaming merrily. The sun was setting by that point, we could see the Morocco across the strait and then BAM Jessie had an ape on her head trying to steal her sunglasses. It was all cute and snuffly until it tried to rip out her earrings, it crossed the frecken LINE and was punished accordingly with no further attention.

After the general ape molestation came to a close, we had to walk back down the rock in the dark.

...#HASHTAGomgscarytimez.

My my what fine cacti.

We then went out with a really nice lad that we met in Marbella and he introduced us to all his friends and we went back to one of their houses for a HOUSENPARTY. The owner of the household had an excellent cat. Minor issue was that apparently the hostel we were staying in was in the biggest hood for miles and we genuinely wouldn't make it home alive because we were English people staying in the highly spanish La Linea. But we got back alive so it's all gravy. They were JOLLY GOOD FUN, indeed so fun that we might go back there for 10th September (their national day).

DÓNDE ESTÁ LA PLAYA?

EH? Where is it?? Oh ye. Right here in MARBELLA baby. I spent my 19th birthday with the lass pictured above (with the exquisite bench) in Marbz, rollin' and patrollin'. Got the train down from Madrid and I have to say it was an excellent service, the views were wonderful and every seat had a table and a TV view. ANYWAIS we got Marbella and spent hours, HOURS (1 hour) searching for our accommodation, which was right in the old town. We saved some dollar staying in a hostel and definitely ended up spending the difference on extensive taxiing to get to all the good spots. The hostel was fine until the last night when the owner and his alcohol dependant M8 4EVA had an exceptionally loud fight in the courtyard below our window, climaxing in one falling asleep and the other yelling to himself until 4.30 in the morn. I thought he was going to come round and kill people to let off angry-steam so I blocked our door with a chair (the single piece of loose furniture in our room). BUT HEY that was just one woeful moment in the whole trip, let me give ya some HIGHLIGHTS. MAIN DISCOVERY- the beach in central Marbella is in fact man-made and really shoddy. They transported rock from the nearby mountain range and ground it down to a size that certainly doesn't pass as sand but hey that didn't faze them, they put that baby right down along the coast. So we strolled for nearly two hours eastwards along the shore, and the sand grew finer and whiter until we were back in business. We walked to an area called Elviria which is full of mansions and here you can find Nikki Beach which is where I believe the TOWIE cast went.

Elviria

Nikki Beach is a non-stop party PALACE. They also served the best mojito I've ever had in my loife. Highly recommended if you want to boogie on down. Don't be phased by the rich mongs. There are also fun poor people there.

The most exciting discovery was Marbella Old Town, which wasn't shown on any of the tourist leaflets or posters but I thought was the best bit of Marbz. We stumbled upon bustling plazas, churches, tiny shops and a castle?! Nobody mentioned a castle.

On our explorations we also found a lovely old man that painted his Vespa. He spoke no English so we never discovered why, but we did bump into him a further two times around Marbella and became prettay CHUMMY. We also found a NEAT diner where we insulted the very essence of spanish culture and had hotdogs and milkshakes. They were divine. 

Note Mr. Pineapple's really professional card. He could in fact be a tropical impostor.

Once upon a time in Marbella a cash machine ate my card on a Sunday and I had to go moneyless for 24 hours. I returned the next day to retrieve it and was delighted to be served by none other than Señor Piña, quite literally, MR. PINEAPPLE. He executed the delivery of his name with such magnitude and dulcet pronunciation, caressing every letter of his fruit-derived title, that the meeting essentially went downhill from there and we had to leave, weeping all the way out the door. But I got my card. And Mr. Pineapple's digitz. Sweet. THE END

TALES OF A WEE HOLIDAY IN MALTA

WELL THEN I have just returned from Malta and it exceeded every expectation my tiny mind ever created. I'd been informed it was boring fruitless and bland but my three freundens and I explored the absolute malteasers out of Malta (oy oy) and it was fabulous. There are barely any tourists in the best parts because none of the aged and withering football-supporting couples that usually go there for their holidays can be bothered to leave their all-inclusive resort and certainly wouldn't want to miss the talent at the evening entertainment. The Maltese culture is really weird because it seems to be a huge soup HAWTPOT of other people's cultures, it's borrowed lace and glass from Italy, a bit of Arabic and just loves a bit of rabbit for supper. But all the towns we went to were clean and calm, and everything there was HUGELY inexpensive which is tasty for students.

Here, as an ignorant tourist, I was unknowingly fooled into buying a pint of ice-cream. 

Blue Lagoon, visitable only via a speedboat playing Pitbull loudly. It made me feel really cool.

Soft-serve PINT of ice cream anyone?

I present to yous an amazing cathedral in Rabat, it looks like a Vegas set it's so BLING. St Paul stayed here and casually cured a nobleman's father. Coz he felt like it.

 The inside was equally exceptional, the walls were entirely lined with bright fuchsia fabric and there were HUGE glittering chandeliers. Oh man it was good. And it was practically empty too, an undiscovered gem some might say.

I'd say the only down point of the holiday was losing the other two lasses, in the chaos missing the last night bus at 3am and, not having enough money for a taxi, having to wait until 6.23 for the first bus of the day, during the wait for which we were followed by a Nigerian man who wanted to be more than friends and eventually having to seek refuge in club toilets whilst the doormen dealt with him. A sobering few hours to say the least. On the plus side we did get to see the sun rise which was lovely and partially made up for it...?  Also the two other friends did have money to get a taxi home, but OH LORD ERROR, didn't have the room keys. So slept in a bus stop. But apparently there was some wonderful early-morning kayaking going on that kept them positive.

TIDY BANG BANG

My new treasured item, CANNOT get enough of this badboy.

CSM : LACE

This project is really old now but it's nice to get the old goat up here, we were working with lace is new, avant-garde CSM ways... I set it in PVA glue which allowed me to make this structured garment. Yep so  I made the garment and took the photos. It was stressful as the models were from Premier so we had to be professional and snappy about it and I wanted different lighting to the others which time-guzzled but it was all ok in the end.

...Come awn Mr. Grumpy. Let's see a smile.

(He'd just landed a sweet modelling deal with Alexander McQueen so wasn't up for this small fry tomfoolery.)

SURREALISM SHOOT

I finished my foundation at CSM quite a long time ago now but here's some of maaahhh final work. I passed with Merit which is nice considering I didn't sleep for a bit too long, a touch of hallucinating here and there, spent all my monies on wall filler and black railing varnish.

The theme is hard to explain but I shall try FOR YOUR SAKE yes you my army of followers...

Many people would immediately assosciate this with Alice in Wonderland but please let's move away from that, it's like Magritte mixed with a hint of Tim Walker and Shona Heath and... Henry VIII?

Some cheeky behind the scenes shots...

Living it large.

Peace.
