Long   Tuesday 29th November 2005
agh! i just spent about 4 hours updating the portfolio on my website. i really underestimated how much stuff needed addingover the past few months, and was generally just being lazyabout doing it. not to mention being distracted by lilly. :) . so yeah, lots of junk added on my portfolio, i’m really tired of html now, and therefore i’m keeping this short.

here is something from the past (well, since i last updated)

evilplanefood

from my flight to turkey.

here is something from the present (but also kinda from the past)

thelcii

the lcII is another machine in my heritage as a designer – i found lots of drawings i did on this machine from when i was 9 years old and younger. and still, i am drawing pictures on apple macs!

lastly, here is something from the future.

hosp16dec

i’m playing at hospitality again in a couple of weeks! come and listen to me bring the crunch! powarrrr!

oh and hospitality at heaven was brilliant! made me realise how many people do actually read my site and everything, so i should really stop neglecting it.

much love and all that!

SUCCESSION   Thursday 18th August 2005
stoemerharoldgoldpicklewinchnigelsnow

i failed at brushing my teeth cos i was too busy thinking about making this post.

toothpaste was everywhere.

Lizard Tshirt I   Sunday 7th August 2005
i painted another tshirt a few weeks back, with the spacelizard from my cyantific dubplate, on an icke-like turquoise tshirt a few weeks back…

liztee1

liztee2

unfortunately his oxygen tank seemed to ‘explode’ in the wash, and the tshirt was close-on destroyed;

lizardeath

but he’s under heavy reconstructive surgery… we can rebuild him… we have the technology…

in other news, i wasn’t happy with the efforts on the ps2, so peeled it all off, sanded it back, and am in the process of reworking this too;

squidps2v2

“what’s that i notice i notice in the background?” i hear you cry, “is it finally a fabulous new wallpaper for us to download??”. yes it is! i updated the wallpapers page after a bit of badlove over the past 2 months, but it’s back updated!

woo! i finally put june’s one up now too! but you can’t have july’s! click it at the top of this page for june’s august’s and 40 other wallpapers!

oh and expect a massive portfolio update in september. i might even rework the whole page if i find the time and inspiration. that’s all i have to report right now at 3.30am on sunday night tho.

Bacon Fishsticks   Friday 22nd July 2005
just a short update today; i painted my brother’s ps2 last night. squid! it looks pretty crap in photo tho.

playsquid2

got my vespa back as well, it looks like new! but cos it does it’s not worth posting a photo of it. lastly, here is a picture of me djing at hospitality;

meathospitality

this phot was by Andrew J. Attah, you can look at his portfolio here. lots of good photographers about lately! also you can look at full visual coverage of the event on doa gallery, big ups to dimi and xo for their photos there!

oh this entry is called bacon fishsticks cos that’s what my desk says.

Hospitality!   Friday 15th July 2005

nhsity

Words and Pictures from May   Sunday 5th June 2005
been busybusybusy of late! so here are some pictures and brief explanations of what’s going on in them…

newsplashjune

new splash page! chris goss is the influence here! all part of operation: faze out the flash page…

pulse101

space lizards! hooray for making my own labels for cyantific promos!
newdoa400

NEW DOA LOOK!! yes, it’s caused some controversy just cos it’s chage, even tho it’s not much fo a change at all, but i did it, and i’m still proud of it!

victimjeans

the jeans i posted about before also fell victim to the washing machine – it’s cos i did a white base coat. they don’t look bad like this tho!

canvas-300505

new canvas! not totally finished. currently just marker on unprimed canvas, hence the fuzzy look. i’d like to go over it in a really glossy black, but it’s about finding the appropriate medium. inspired by evan hecox, based around another one of napalm’s photos!

incrediblehair

this dude was on jools holland last night while i was channel hopping, bashign away at the drums. the band was awful but his hair is some of the most incredible i’ve ever seen!

also happening is i’ve cut this page in half, to save on loading times, considering this is supposed to eb the main page now. i better go to sleeeep now!

Jeans, paint, that sorta stuff   Monday 2nd May 2005
so after the washing machine owning me and my cheesetee, i went out to find some sort of medium to stop the destruction, i managed to find exactly what i was after; system3 textile medium, so i can carry on with my experiments. and this time i attacked my beloved carhartt jeans. and here be thy results

trickhartt

trickhartt2

and they’re looking pimp. that’s pretty much all there is to report at the moment.

Hair Products   Friday 29th April 2005
Despite the fact that this morning i used a different shampoo, namely ‘frizz ease daily smooth’ and used the matching conditioner, my hair is ticker and woolier than it ever has been.

thickandwooly

still, the overall texture is nicer than tresemme.
