nfortunately oh my 365 project saturday 14 july 2018 victoria and albert museum view from the john madejski garden a few weeks ago a friend and i went into london to have a nose around the victoria albert museum entry is free and it s really easy to get to because it has its own exit from one of the tube stations there s so much to see that it would be impossible to sum it all up in one post or even to properly take it all in during one visit but here are a few highlights read more 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels 10 days out london museum thursday 17 may 2018 david shrigley s life model ii last post i mentioned that brighton fringe is happening but may is also the month of brighton festival this year s guest director is david shrigley and there s currently an exhibition of his piece life model ii at fabrica one of my favourite galleries the main feature of this exhibition is a huge female mannequin of slightly off proportions and the gallery is set up to resemble a life drawing class there are easels beanbags and chairs available and visitors are invited to use the materials provided to draw the mannequin who periodically blinks with an audible click the drawings are then stuck to the walls around the gallery i have to say i didn t expect to end up drawing a naked mannequin when i stepped into the gallery but it s always fun when exhibitions have some kind of immersive or interactive feature something fabrica s exhibitions are very good at alas i cannot draw no comments email this blogthis share to x share to

ton of free ones including art and photography exhibitions so when i went shopping this week i happened upon inside the fringe an exhibition of photographs by james bellorini this exhibition which is at brighton station on the walkway between the platforms and the car park comprises of a series of portraits that feature the many talents of some of the participants of this year s fringe each portrait came with a little bio for the subject including which shows you can see them in this time around i didn t take many pictures because there were a lot of people walking back and forth and it feels a bit weird to take photos of someone else s photos but i enjoyed seeing the different portraits and appreciated the variation of styles and lighting used these portraits represent a good cross section of the people involved in brighton fringe and show how diverse both the people and the events are no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels 10 brighton brighton fringe saturday 5 may 2018 walking with llamas last sunday a group of us went to the llama park and walked llamas we went for my birthday as it s been something i wanted to do for ages mainly because i can i walked a llama named dave he likes food a lot me too dave there were six or seven llamas in our walking group and about ten people all there to celebrate birthdays the route went across the llama park and into the grounds of a neighbouring hotel which the park has an agreement with for doing the walks it was pretty muddy but the area is nice and there were several stops for feeding the llamas and taking pictures excuse my squinty laughing face dave hugely enjoyed his carrots but he also liked grass lots of grass it was a fun morning out finished off with lunch at the llama park s cafe i can now tick another goal off the list 018 walk a llama it was certainly a novel experience 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels 18 days out saturday 14 april 2018 beetroot chocolate cake today i completed a food related goal from the list 075 make something delicious using something i usually hate the taste of i opted for making beetroot chocolate cake as i d planned all along now let me tell you ordinarily i can t stand beetroot i hate the smell of it cannot bear the taste of it and honestly the only thing it s got going for it is the colour but you can t eat colour you can however eat cake i used this chocolate beetroot cake recipe from allrecipes co uk though i didn t bother with the vanilla essence and swapped out the plain flour bicarbonate of soda for self raising flour and completely forgot about the salt oh well my cookery skills are pretty chaotic and messy and i didn t have a tin the right size so i ended up making a big cake and six cupcakes the big cake took forever to cook through about 25 mins longer than the recipe said i think i put too much mix in the tin after letting the cakes cool i covered them in chocolate ganache i didn t realise how simple it was to make the most complicated parts are chopping up the chocolate and making sure the cream doesn t boil covered the cupcakes in little decorations just to use them up i had way too much ganache left so ended up making two little desserts in ramekin dishes with the leftover ganache on top of broken up digestive biscuits which dad and i ate for pudding with the leftover double cream as for the beetroot cake itself i ve only eaten one of the cupcakes so far but enjoyed it the cake tasted extremely chocolatey and i couldn t taste any beetroot at all so mission accomplished but it was so chocolately i don t think i ll need chocolate for another month no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels 75 complete days in food monday 9 april 2018 a complete pair things that hurt when you tread on them at the start of the year i tentatively declared my photography project a strange pair finished there was still one more photo i wanted to take for it but i d been unable to get my hands on one of the objects i wanted for it and had reached my goal of 21 photos so i called it finished and forgot about it sometimes forgetting about things is all you need for serendipity to throw what you want into your path because whilst volunteering the other day i came across a little lego kit it had one brick of the size i wanted and it was the colour i wanted too so at long last i was able to take the stupid photo things that hurt when you tread on them this project is finally complete there are now 22 photos altogether each one featuring two objects paired for unconventional reasons this is based on information i found in a book on psychology relating to the way a group of schizophrenics categorised objects see my post stop for more information i found this utterly fascinating so explored the idea of unconventional categories through this project thinking outside of the box for pairs categorisations was as challenging as finding that damn lego block and now it s done this counts towards goal 12 complete 3 photography projects along with my still in progress project state of mind one down one and a half to go see all photos taken for a strange pair here no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels 12 a strange pair photography saturday 31 march 2018 5 anime sonnets and two random others it s the end of the month and with it i bring my final seven sonnets for a goal on the list 027 write 1 sonnet per day for 1 month honestly it s a relief to finish these sonnet writing is not as fun as i seem to remember nor as easy originally i d planned to do something fun for this last week and write sonnets about anime but the first and last ones here aren t but they re still kind of light hearted and silly daylight savings messes up my body clock and my brain alas i planned to write of anime of characters fictional and adored yet as i sat down to my great dismay my brain did refuse and my thoughts all snored tis folly to write with a mind like this with a head so clouded by cotton wool all quick witted phrases have gone amiss my mind is no longer a sharpened tool yet this foolish errand i shall not yield for on the morrow i will try again in hope that my thoughts do fly far afield to write wittily with digital pen today there is something to place the blame daylight savings is its infernal name this happens every damn year and it always takes a good week for me to get used to everything being an hour different an egg by any other name could not be beat do you see the great unbeatable egg wrapped up in his spandex suit of yellow red gloves and boots on each strong fist and leg with his white cape he s a superb fellow see at his side the serious toaster young that cyborg disciple of metal admired is he a boy of the poster his verbosity does the egg nettle yet together this duo save the earth albeit the toaster often gets wreck d such heroes as these are of immense worth as monsters defeated the sales are check d for the best bargains are found before lunch so the egg beats the monster with one punch a sonnet about one punch man because it s ridiculous and i love it read more no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels 27 complete days in poetry writing saturday 24 march 2018 24 hours and the sky 8 sonnets here i am again with more sonnets this set of 8 is based around the sky and times of day sun a warm soul is he of many faces limpid and pale on a chill winter s morn yet when the spring comes how fast he races to summon the daffodils from the lawn and summer s image is so hot and bright his broad beam inviting a sleepy trance how golden he turns in the autumn light as leaves of all colours take up their dance but oft does he hide in a shroud of grey dull in his journey from dawn until dusk sometimes he burns those who walk at midday sparing no saint nor thief nor soul at busk this giver of life fickle in his ways is predictable in his yearly phase moon ancient yet youthful is her form so pale sometime rotund and sometime slight as fae as thru the night s velvet skies doth she sail to aid the trav ller who has lost his way on winter nights she wears rings of all shades a halo remains in spring s coolest air in summer she late arrives in the glades and autumn s harvest sees her smile so rare yet some nights she shyly hides behind clouds or turns her dark back to the weary soul and lamplight must govern the nightly crowds for darkness is friend only to the mole again thru the sky this pale lady rides this lighter of ways mistress of the tides stars at moonrise in countless number you ll see kings and queens of such marvellous brightness fine jewels in each patch of night velvety distant monarchs each with their own lightness how far they are from our homeland humble yet strong enough that we know each by name and even should one form take a tumble we know its path can calculate its aim tho with each sunrise these royals do fade obscured behind the daytime s lightened skies after the sun has made his grand parade they reappear to soothe our weary eyes eternal bodies so noble and bright those lords and ladies of infinite night read more no comments email this blogthis share to

studies of only one subject i chose hands as my subject because i have always struggled to draw them and after struggling some more back in 2015 when i started on this goal i gave up only dipping into it every so often to scribble down a hand sketched from a reference on google images then at some point towards the end of last year beginning of this year i began making more of an effort again for a while i drew a lot from the timed exercises on line of action which you can see in previous posts which really kickstarted my drawing again but i soon began drawing from my own references too as in this post and filled my camera roll up with hand photos i d snapped on my phone i attempted drawing without a reference but that turned into drawing with a reference of my own hand because it started going badly very quickly in fact some days my attempts still go pretty badly as for whether i ve improved here are the first and last sketches from the book first hand last hand i have definitely improved after starting this goal so long ago it s a relief to finally get it finished in the process of drawing i ve found that pastel pencils make really light work of shading but are a pain in the butt when they break i ve also found that my favourite pencil to draw with is a 6b watersoluble graphite pencil like these ones by derwent and no they aren t paying me to say that it s easy to achieve a variation of shades and being able to shade larger areas with the side of the pencil gives me more control than if i was using a traditional pencil so i m kind of glad i ve got two of them over the course of this goal i have drawn over 150 hands i haven t posted all of them online some are just little doodles from trying to draw cartoonish hands where i didn t really put any effort into drawing so i didn t post them but everything else is are here on this blog you can see all the sketches i posted by going to my goal 01 tag 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to

think of a topic oft are there times in life when effort fails when the siren song of sleep is too great and still falls the wind from the mind s white sails whether the hour be early or too late hard is the journey when the currents freeze and thought s great ship is trapped on oceans grey as all on board await the wakeful breeze yet drowsily long for the end of day but some may resist the lure of pillows from time to time when oceans rise and fall and in fresh gusts of wind the sail billows and thoughts fly free amidst the seabird s call when sails fall and this vessel longs to sleep the answer is to concentrate breathe deep because i was too tired to think of a topic spring gentle her footsteps that herald warm light and quiet the sighs that rustle fresh leaves and tho in her wake bloom flowers so bright that breath can turn cold and howl round the eaves for sometimes through meadows sweet she will rage and force newborn lives to shudder and hide heavy her tears soak the travelling sage and spoils fragile blooms at winter s graveside though often is her temperament harsh with her kind light are warmer days proclaimed for new life grows upon the cruellest marsh under the care of that nature untamed so when the wind howls and rain blots the sky know it is she who makes blooms multiply read more no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to
