Art based

Wasn't planning to post today without the photos of the Art Picnic coming up on wednesday, but i was just itching to post. On friday i found out about the Cans Festival not going to bother explaining the event, but for those who bothered to click the link/heard of it/went to it will see what it's all about. I went to it the first day it opened, took me a while to find due it being semi hidden - I went into a big circle trying to find the place. But i eventually found it after some help from the lovely people at the National Theatre Museum and then the cool reception girl at the BFI (British Film Institute) - yes i am that useless, i only remembered the address of it being 3minutes walk from the London Eye - well, more about 5? and the nearest stop being Waterloo.

Here are some of the pictures i took!

And cos you was kinda encouraged to graffiti along in semi designated areas - and i was LOADS of people with MASSIVE stencil and shizz, and i had previously used spray painting stuff in my work, i joined in a bit!!!!

The pic above is my contribution. I found that it's going to cost me money to trademark 'Sex, Drugs and Juliet'(insert copywrite/trademark symbol here) which sucks as i would've liked to see that it gets back to, i.e like my 'tag' or something, but i would only 'tag' this in a stencil way..

This one, say's 'Trent - PITNB', i took a pic of the stencil as the pink spray in general was fairly runny and eventually didn't make sense on the final outcome so i took a pic of it basically so you knew what it was meant to say. Also, PITNB is http://www.pinkisthenewblog.com/, i LOVE this site, and i'm on it! Well, my contribution part thing is, click here to see!

The yaht bag (Topshop shopper), stencils and spray paints are mine, the bottom left stuff are not. So yeah, this is partially a mini insight into how i work! So proud :)

I easily spent around 2hours inside there, including the stencilling which took me around 15mins. It was SOOO good. I would go again tomorrow, to see it all end and see how the graffiti got and if anyone WENT OVER MY WORK, which you're not meant to, but alas, i am low on money and i have so many things to buy, mainly illustration books. Will have to spend roughly £80 and then about £43 on polaroids... and then i have my little Art Picnic. Oh dear.

Oh, and when i finished there, i popped over to Urban Outfitters and bought the Crayola Flask i mentioned in the previous post. Yellow one. So good.

I so need to get the job. I gave in my CV on friday and am now going to have to wait. My CV was crap though and will probably try and tweek it a bit and keep looking for other places hiring.

Wish me luck.

I need to come up with much better titles.

Just wanted to change the colour of the writing.

Been looking around on other Fashiony type blogs. Very inspiring, but as you would know, there's inspiring and copying. I'm all for the inspiring. But there are some similarities to my style and other blogs', which I will try to make sure that doesn't happen. Or too often at least. Still need to get that card reader. Will have to wait for some money to come my way though before I can get one. My friend is going to try and get me some Reading Tickets when they come on sale, and I don't have the money so I'm going to have to ow her and pay her back slowly so It's going to be a long summer. Need to buy some polaroid film too, the 600 ones, get 40 exposures for £35, thats if they're still doing them in my locaaaal Argos. But i'm using the polaroids for my next art project so I guess I can wait a while.

You know something thats REALLY addictive? Dymo. The label maker stuff. WOW. I've been having SOO much fun just making up my usual stuff. 'I Dance Like Old People' was one I 'made up' today, my friend stole it and it took me ages to get it back. im the meantime I 'made' him 'Hello Im ____ and I steal labels' - the '___' represents his name, 'Label Stealer' and '_____ Dances Like Old Fruit' - that one had my name that I made as a replacement for the Old People one but it was crap i decided. I would have made a 'replacement' of the Old People, but I like to keep things original. Like the stuff I make up. For example, i'm going to 'copyright' this in my own little way, like proof it's made up by me before someone like GWEN STEFANI uses it. Due to the 'Harajuku Lovers' having the same initials as me, my young dreams of being a fashion designer, coming up with an actual design... Gwen stole it. The H and L is joined and there is a heart after the initials. Semi similar to the Harajuku one. Darn her. They're not even HER initials. So yes, my thing?

SEX, DRUGS AND JULIET

Hmm.. maybe I should've named this blog that. Darn.

I might go into Town tomorrow and go check Primark. I've been wanting to get some checked shirts now. Juno - the film - inspired me a lot more to go out and get one. Also, on wednesday - my day off college - I might pop into London and go to the Art Shop, can't remember the proper name, but it's Art-something with the red background(?) and get a sketchbook. I've got one already - of the one I want, but it's nice to have some backup, plus they were in the sale so why not stock up. It's square-ish, not the best quality paper, but it's a good sketchbook overall.

Just finished watching my episode of Gossip Girl, my friend downloaded and sent me a copy of the episodes last year but I never bothered or got the time to watch it, but Sky+-ed it and yeah... it's pretty good. The first few minutes I though 'Oh god, it's going to be so up their own arse' and I thought the Blair character was like the main one, I was wrong. Good show. May go to the library too, get the books out.

The book i'm currently reading - this is the inner geek/loser inside wanting to tell everyone what i'm doing in my sad life, by the way, the Nesquick straws.. not too bad, will have to try the Strawberry next time I go to Tescos... - is my Tate Hallaway.. I can't remember what it's called.. It's the second one... 'Dead Sexy'? It's about some witch and her vampire boyf... Vatican Witch Hunters... LAME I know, but it's not too bad. I read randoms.

Darn again. It seems my local library doesn't have Gossip Girl.. I could've sworn I saw it in there before... Finished my Milk/Nesquick straw... had two cups of apple juice.. have some orange...

Ok, as I was pouring orange juice, to waste less space and time, I could do the little bit like what I'm reading, watching and listening kinda thing. Like what people do with outfits, I'll do it with the crap stuff...

Watching: Now ER but later (yes, even though it's 1:03am, there's a later) Superbad
Reading: Dead Sexy(?)
Listening to: CDs, not right now, but it's something I would be if the CD part of my stereo would work - 'Brain Thrust Mastery' - We Are Scientist. Really good album. My favourite song at the moment is 'After Hours', my work, if I havent said already, is fairly influenced by songs and their lyrics... 'After Hours' is a great for lyrics.

'This night is winding down but time means nothing' - to me, it means a lot. I can't wait to do my Final Major Project - aka FMP.

I got acrylic on my skinny jeans. Sucks. I got it on there earlier during college. I will have to try and scrape it off in the morning. If you didn't know, acrylic isn't like most paints. Doesn't really get off clothes easily. At all. So be warned!
