June 8th 2013: house

todays prompt.... house.

daft punk are playing at my house, at my house.

nicely making use of my retro lamp that i found in a charity shop not long ago, and showing off my 'new' vinyl rack that somebody else had thrown out recently and i decided that there was still life in it yet, it may need a make-over tho.

June 5th 2013: comic

today's prompt... comic

frankly, this should be easy for me, but with so many to choose from the decision became much harder than i thought it would be

as a result we have here just a standard shot of a comic (with a bit of filtering goin on, obviously).

but this is the Knightfall storyline, incredibly 20 years old now, and possibly the storyline that dragged my in the most and that i felt most invested in, and as a 9 year old i actually beleved that Batman had been replaced, that this was a new Batman for a new generation, i didn't quite grasp the concept of 'gimmicks', and the sales focused emphasis of delivering a comic event such as this.

June 4th 2013: party

so the third prompt is 'party'.......


and in this crazy instagramming world where filters are applied to photos taken with new technology to make them look old, i thought i'd take a photo with new technology of a photo taken with my girlfriend's polaroid camera of our housewarming party, and then apply a filter or two, obviously

so here is me and Sel, my friend that is also taking part in the chalenge, in a rather artistic and creative photo of a photo...

June 3rd 2013: fabric

for the third day of the 30 day photo challenge, the prompt word was fabric

so i fought my initial instinct to photograph a close up of denim, and instead got a lil more creative by going to my ipod and scrolling through the compilations to find some of the music that makes me happiest and reminds me of 'the good ol' days' when fridays were spent in the depths of Farringdon until the early hours and i would still drag myself into work the next day

i then got a lil creative with a handful of adjutments in Aviary and a restrained use of the 'splash' tool

October 1st: prepared for winter

we've spent too much money on shopping this month, so the only logical course of action is to reduce the heating bills by wearing my brand new parka around the house

September 28th: chorus

bloody proud to have had a piece of my poetry selected and published in a new project by Saul Williams,a literary mixtape featuring the works of 100 poets used to create 1 unique voice.

my copies turned up this week and it is quite unreal to finally see it in
print.

thank you Saul, you are a true inspiration and it really is an honour.

may 15th: keeping things simple

as monday 14th rolls round into tuesday 15th, my brain was not ready to turn off

i was restless, not knowing what to do with myself, but wanting to do something

i flicked through social networks and blogs with little satisfaction, and i eventually went to bed with the latest issue of The Fly to read about Grimes (even though it is hard to read about a creative when you want to be creative)

but before all that, i did open up an app on my gizmo and drew a simple self-portrait

may 7: Robin, the teen wonder

messing around with a free app on my gizmo using the basic pen tool included and refusing to spend a fiver on new brushes

I had woken up early and couldn't get back to sleep, so I drew a few of the things I could see around my front room, of which this is my favourite

august 9th: in preparation for apple pie
