Life imitates Art


I have nothing to say at this present moment in time. 
I am exhausted and stupid.
I am licking wounds and learning lessons.
I saw my Granny today, it was lovely.
I know where happiness is. 
I know where it isn't.
Love.

Daily Nightly

I just finished the tedious task of sorting through all my photos on my laptop, and I've realised 2 things: I need to stop shooting loads of the same thing just because I'm bored and when I do shoot loads and upload pictures, to sort them straight away. I deleted about 3500 photos of just complete shit.

But here are some nice features I found on the way:

More Boys (Addicted), Birmingham, 2013
Phil, Birmingham, 2013
The only girl, Birmingham, 2013
Tim smoking by window, Birmingham, 2013
Bedroom, Birmingham, 2013
The Men of the House, Birmingham, 2013
Parlour Games, Birmingham, 2013

Watercolour, writing, unaffected

Reading back over the years really made me cringe, so I've made the whiny and melodramatic posts back to draft mode. Can't believe people used to say I was a good writer. It was so awful and depressing. At least I know I'm a lot happier now, and that I don't ever want to have a relationship!

Since my parents have gone I've turned the downstairs into an art studio. I found myself taking time with mixing colours and using different consistencies to get different effects with water colour. I also found myself not following any method or having any idea of what exactly I wanted to create, just to let feeling flow through me. I'd like to try on a bigger scale and include words and layered meanings. I sometimes thing the sunflower might be too difficult or won't look as good as I am imagining; perhaps not having a plan is the best way to me.

I've started on the treatment of 'The House if 1000 Bongs'. It really is quite a good start as all sorts of things are coming back to me.

I shine light in

There was a little drawing of a heart, next to that followed by an exclamation mark. The back of his was covered in stuff, stuff like Brandon is not a very nice guy but Alex is sooo nice, and that had the exclamation thing too. It was just silly crap, but it hit the spot... and he let himself be drawn in.
