Bjork's website. Apparently there are things hidden inside it. Couldn't really find them but I did find a cat, a bycicle and some head. And i think it's quite pretty too. And then i just made it very very small.

Two nice books from Nobrow

Birchfeild Close by Jon McNaught and Abecedaria by Blex Bolex.

We went to the Nobrow shop in London and I had away with my sensible non spending and bought these two.

Also, do you like the quilt I've got on my bed? I do.

volcanoes

This post is about volcanoes.

If anyone is wondering, after getting it wrong i found out how to pronounce that nuisance one in iceland (although it was very kind to me let my mum arrive by plane the other day).

You say Eya fyat lal yo kul.

I think its a nice name.

Ilana Halperin is the best volcano person and has been my favourite artist for I think a year.

I want to make an impression of how a volcano sounds here but i can't think how to write it.

pqqqquuuch....?

alone in the wilderness

Dick Preonekke goes to live in the wilderness in Alaska for a year. There is a clip on youtube that i took these from if you search.

Why is it that 'wilderness' seems to only refer to areas of North America?

I'm taking the word back.

29th April: The other day i watched dances with wolves and after, i looked up the satellite view of the US and then i remembered why the wilderness for a lot means the North american wilderness. Because in the US it's not there anymore. It's all grids and grids. Farms i think. It's gone.

copying hokusai

28th january

I love these but have to admit i don't know where most of them have come from. Number 2 is sarah hermans. Number 5 is Ana Cuba.

I find it so strange. Inside my head it's summer. But outside it's winter.

I was so frustrated today when i found a big dent in the paper of the drawing i'm working on. I'll have to start again.

lichtenberg figure

I saw these on data is nature a little while ago.

Lightning always makes me think, don't hide under a tree. I like the idea that you might hide under the tree, and when the lightning strikes you, the scar looks more like the tree than the lightning.

All About Lily Chou-Chou

The Secret Garden

I love this book. I love this book cover.

Dan-ah Kim

I've been a little ill recently. A bad start to the new semester. I'm currently in bed. And just had a cup of tea, left to brew too long and far too bitter. It's made me feel a little queezy.

This is an artist who I have loved for a quite a while now. Her name is Dan-ah Kim.





























































1.The Stars are Against Me Tonight
2.To Alive to Stay
4.Bathe in the Setting Sun

I love the narrative in her work. And the beautiful way in which she uses different textures and patterns. She also makes films which are equally as nice.

Today I've also been looking at japanese illustrators, Tadahiro Uesugi and Tatsuro Kiuchi.

I think I'd like very much to go to Japan with a freind and travel round all the islands.
Hokkaido, Honshu, Kyushu, Shikoku.

Kill Your Timid Notion

I just found this picture of me watching a performance by Seth Cluett at Kill Your Timid Notion earlier this year at Dundee Contemporary Arts. It was brilliant. It was a really great experience seeing and hearing so many lovely things.

The one i loved most was the exhibition by Felix Hess.

These little flags moved with the smallest fluctuations in the air. They looked like fish or little birds all moving together and reacted to the smallest things like walking past, coughing or even to just the place you were standing in the room. There is something i really love about art that you can interact with.

Kill Your Timid Notion is on tour. It will be on this weekend in London at the BFI and if you are near London i think you should go.
