dear god…

this is what is currently on my tv screen,  there are people talking about politicians expenses, swine flu, earthquakes and wars. i’m slightly more worried about the state of mankind when this kind of thing is on primetime tv, as karl pilkington says “we’re going backwards”.  i don’t even know if they explained the relevence of the clown costumes.

granted iwas a bit of a telly fiend, but i’ve cut out virtually all crap from my tv diet, neighbours, hollyoaks, all that T4 crap, unfortunately my mum is going the other way incorperating any tv show based around the emergency services,(holby, casualty, the bill, CSI, law and order)

nothings happening

sitting here, trying to figure out what my final major project what it’s about and what i should do. but my brain is dead. the only thing i can come up with is making posters about how bollocks this whole process is. (phone call) football and music is the new idea, good excuse to see spurs aswell.

black swan

here’s a design for the front of a flyer i’m doing for a drum and bass night at the black swan in bristol, unfortunately this isn’t the actual design that’s going to be used, it’s going to be a simpler version og this but along the same lines. the vectors used are from GoMedia which i’ve found is a great tool for flyer design, i don’t think i’d use them for my personal work which is more hand-drawn. but for commercial stuff it’s a massive help.

missed uni today aswell, reason: when i go in with my ideas especially to a large group of people, usually i get put down by tutors which affects work and work-rate, demoralizes me and reinforces the fact that i shouldn’t be there. gonna wait for the 1 on 1 tutorials to show my work.

the final flyer will be up shortly

twitter this mofo having a rant

twitter is just something else to distract me on the internet, after facebook, hotmail, myspace and this blog, but i’ve joined it anyway cause  i’m a sucker for this crap. if you want to hear my angry irrelevant musings have a look for me, or talk to me when i’m in a bad mood such as yesterday.

just when i thought i had some good ideas for my final major project in uni, i was shot down once again, my continuing idea to just produce some real nice posters that can be will be appreciated simply as a nice image was not recieved too well, doesn’t help that i turn into some kind of simpleton clam when i try and explain my ideas. the problem is, is if i did open my pie-hole far enough to construct a cohesive sentence, it may have been:

“FUCK OFF WITH YOUR CONCEPTUAL GRAPHICS PRETENTIOUS BULLSHIT CRAP, IF I WANTED TO WORK LIKE THAT I’D CUT OFF MY BALLS AND STAPLE THEM TO A RADIATOR”

ironically i’d need some balls to say that in the first place. but i have a cunning plan to ignore what they say and do what i want. we’ll see how it goes, 

also scraped  a 2-2 on the module i thought i was gonna fail, so that was a bonus. still confidence in the course has gone back to sweet fuck all. and apologies for the amount of swearing but helps convey how pissed off i actually am, i say apologies but to be honest couldn’t really give a shit.

here’s a picture from quite a few years ago, but it sums up how i feel

 

some new illustrations & a little rant

here’s a few new illustrations, originally they were random bits of work i did, but due to my lack of work i tied them into my final university project which is centered around happiness. also just had an assessment which from my eyes can only be described as a shambles. My interest in the course is dissapearing quickly, with the briefs we get and the way they ask us to work, it’s meant to be a self-directed study but once i produce work they tell me to do it differently. so i reckon i’m not going to do too well for this module and what may be worse is it actually doesn’t bother me that much. but anywho, lifes a bitch and then you die, my dad taught me that.
