Vic Reeves again...

If you're feeling flush then you could buy some of his work, I'd love it all please and thank you.

Vic Reeves

Vic Reeves aint just your funny man, he's a wonderful artist too! I love his drawing style, this is just a link to an article on the Guardian website, it's quite old but still some good examples of his work, I might post some more because he's just so wonderful!

Grayson Perry

Theoretically, Grayson Perry is my favourite artist. I don't like craft 'art', well maybe it's not that I don't like it, more that it's suited to your kitchen table when you're 65 sort of thing. That's a very rude thing for me to say so maybe I don't mean that.

What I would like to say is that someone who takes craft and makes it contemporary, is being wonderfully ironic and beautiful, Grayson Perry is the Goddess of this, known for his cross-dressing and ceramics what more could I hope for.

I don't think I'm a 'readymade' sort of artist and after talking to a very strong minded (rude) hairdresser I think I need to have a bigger collection of skills.

He won the Turner prize too!

Life can be disgusting...

John Lennon - Mother

Mother, you had me but I never had you, 
I wanted you but you didn't want me, 
So I got to tell you, 
Goodbye, goodbye. 
Farther, you left me but I never left you, 
I needed you but you didn't need me, 
So I got to tell you, 
Goodbye, goodbye. 
Children, don't do what I have done, 
I couldn't walk and I tried to run, 
So I got to tell you, 
Goodbye, goodbye. 
Mama don't go, 
Daddy come home. 
Mama don't go, 
Daddy come home. 
Mama don't go, 
Daddy come home. 
Mama don't go, 
Daddy come home. 
Mama don't go, 
Daddy come home. 
Mama don't go, 
Daddy come home. 
Mama don't go, 
Daddy come home... 

How to cheat and get away with it, apparently

Tiger Woods, Mark “the Luv Guv” Sanford, Jon Gosselin…All three of these geniuses were busted last year with their three wood in the wrong bunker. While the fact that they had affairs wasn’t shocking, the stupidity with which they conducted them was: Woods tried to bed every fame-whore he laid eyes on; Sanford barely covered his tracks when he went AWOL from South Carolina to join his lady love in Argentina; and Gosselin cavorted with a bevy of bimbos in front of the reality TV cameras that follow him everywhere.

But famous men aren’t the only cheaters. According to a recent MSNBC poll, one in five people in a monogamous relationship has a side piece—and that figure includes women. Yet you almost never read about female betrayal in newspapers and tabloids. Why? Because we’re better at hiding it. Sure, it may be a stereotype to say women are naturally sneakier or more cautious than men. But both of those things just may be true.

So if you’re itching for a fling, you should take a few tips from the ladies. To help your cause, we contacted the most adulterous women we know—most of whom have never been called on their indiscretions—and pumped them for their best advice on stepping out on a mate. Study up!

1. MAKE YOUR GIRL A GUY.

News flash: Every woman looks at her man’s cell phone log when the opportunity arises. The same goes for sideways glances at your phone when a new text arrives. Is it your friend Joe commenting on the Cubs game? Or is it that whore in your office you’ve been boning—I knew it, you filthy pig!

If it is, in fact, that whore in your office, by no means should she be in your phone under her real name—or a female name at all. “A little gender swap has saved my ass numerous times,” says Jessica*, a 29-year-old benefits coordinator. “For a while I was boning a guy named Jake, who was in my phone as ‘Jackie,’ and this other guy Mark, whom I entered as ‘Marcy.’ ” When her boyfriend asked who this ‘Jackie’ chick was that was texting her all the time, Jess simply said it was a friend she’d reconnected with through Facebook. “Then, for effect, I rolled my eyes and complained about how needy she was,” Jessica says.

Whatever name you choose, just be sure to adjust the settings on your phone regarding incoming texts. Some, like the iPhone, show not only the texter’s name but the message as soon as it arrives. (Doesn’t happen on the BlackBerry, but you should password-protect that thing just in case.) If she sees a message from “Steve” that reads “I want you inside me,” you could have some ’splainin’ to do.

2. HACKPROOF YOUR LIFE.

If you’ve used the same e-mail password since you got your first AOL account in 1997 and use that same password for other sites, you’re pretty much asking to be spied on. If you’re going to have an affair, you need to create a completely separate e-mail account for your fling. Additionally, you need to log off from that account entirely every time you send a message. Hell, quit your browser and clear the cache, too. It’s a simple thing to do, yet one of the biggest safeguards cheaters ignore—myself included.

In college, while stuck in a dead-end relationship, I found myself hooking up with a new guy. Stupidly, I e-mailed him from my boyfriend’s computer and didn’t log out. The snoop read my last sent message, and soon after I got a call that included the words “slut,” “bitch,” and “how could you?” Oops.

3. ALWAYS BE REACHABLE.

“My main rule of thumb is to never give the boyfriend any cause for suspicion, and not getting back to him quickly when he calls or texts would definitely do that,” says Kelsey, a 27-year-old med student. Returning phone calls right away can be challenging, especially if the background noise doesn’t jibe with your excuse—a quiet motel won’t sound like a game with the boys no matter what’s on the TV. If she calls and it’s a bad time, text back ASAP that you’ll call her when you can hear better—even if you’re mid-coitus.

Or if you stick to this rule as hard and fast as Kelsey does, you could just pick up the phone. “I once answered my boyfriend’s call while a fling was doing me from behind,” she says, laughing. “I grabbed the guy’s thigh to let him know to stop pounding and let me talk, so then he started moving really slowly while I talked to my boyfriend about dinner plans and tried not to moan. The extreme sluttiness of it was actually pretty hot.”

4. TAKE IT TO THE GRAVE.

Women are known for running their mouths, but when it comes to our own affairs, we turn into nuns who’ve taken a vow of silence (except when we’re having all that sex). A woman will never flaunt an indiscretion—unlike men, who need to brag about every sexual conquest. Other women are unlikely to be supportive of an affair, probably because every girl has been a victim of infidelity at some point in her life. So most lady-cheats find it’s best to keep their slutty ways secret.

Every guy, on the other hand, seems to think the unwritten “bro code” is enough to keep his indiscretions between him and his poker pals, his golf foursome, and his mailman. Remember, men talk, too—especially those in relationships, who always tell their girlfriends and wives about friends’ affairs (you know you do this, and you know you do it to look good in comparison). Your best bet is not to tell any of your goofball buddies—and that includes using them for alibis.

5. CHOOSE WISELY.

Perhaps the single most important factor in having your affair go unnoticed is choosing a girl who won’t—or can’t—throw you under the bus. Remember ESPN analyst Steve Phillips, who had sex with that underling? She sent a graphic letter to his wife outlining their tryst, busting up his marriage and costing him his job. If you must stick it in someone else, don’t go with the intern who follows you around like a lovesick puppy.

Instead, try the married colleague you put in long hours with. “I had a great arrangement for a few years with a married guy at work,” says Olivia, a 28-year-old ad exec. “We ran the biggest accounts, which meant lots of late nights. We’d wait for everyone else to clear out, and then it was a free-for-all. We had sex in the conference room, on our boss’ couch, even under our desks once when we thought the cleaning lady might come in. Then he’d go home to his wife and I’d go home to my cat, and no one was the wiser.”

Don’t want to fish off the company pier? Open a branch office, like Danielle, a 29-year-old photographer, who cheats only on business trips. “I love my boyfriend, but monogamy is for the birds,” she says. “I enjoy fucking new guys, then going home to the man who loves me. I’d never want him to run into them, so I only do it in other cities.”

6. DON'T DATE YOUR FLING.

“My number one rule for cheating is pretty simple,” says Mara, a 30-year-old financial advisor. “Fuck, don’t date. Period. Don’t meet up for coffee, don’t confide in each other about your lives, don’t even exchange numbers if you can avoid it. Just fuck.” If you find yourself having Tiger-like text exchanges about your psyche and life (“Having an Asian mother and a military father, you can’t and will not ever be full of yourself”), you’ve got bigger issues than run-of-the-mill horniness, and your cheating license should be revoked. Bottom line: Emotional involvement makes you more susceptible to slip-ups.

7. DON'T OVERCOMPENSATE.

It’s a classic mistake: You feel guilty or you’re just plain terrified of being found out, so you smother your significant other in unusual acts of kindness...and that gets them wondering what’s going on. Amanda, a 33-year-old lab technician who tutors for grad school admission tests on the side, was nearly caught by her live-in boyfriend this way. “For three months I was boning this guy I was tutoring. From the first session, the sexual tension was out of hand,” she says. “Within 
15 minutes he had pushed our workbooks off the kitchen table, laid me on top of it, and 
started giving me head. We started having sex every time he came over, on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Not coincidentally, I also started making elaborate dinners on those nights, which I’d have ready when my boyfriend got home.” Since she typically only cooked on special occasions, Amanda’s boyfriend became curious. “He kept asking why I was so inspired, and one night he even said, only half-joking, ‘Feeling guilty about something?’ Luckily the tutoring stopped right 
after that, and he never found out.” Amanda was fortunate, but the point remains that you should preserve the status quo in your relationship. Don’t suddenly start lavishing your girl with gifts. Take a cue from Kobe Bryant: Spoil your woman with jewels after she’s caught you cheating. Not before.

How to cure a feminist

I found online what the article actually said...








How To: Cure a Feminist

Turn an unshaven, militant, protesting vegan into an actual girl!

Maxim, November 2003

1. WIN HER OVER
A feminist is just like any other woman: She won't give you the time of day if you don't know how to approach her. To prove you're not part of the dreaded penisocracy, pretend to share her beliefs. But hide your lack of actual knowledge of feminist issues and show her how much you value her opinion by asking intelligent questions: "What must women do to earn equal pay for equal work?" or "Has Gloria Steinem's marriage hurt the feminist agenda?" or "Did you see Cagney & Lacey on Lifetime last night?"

2. OPEN HER EYES
Don't just wait for her to think differently--give her some options. Begin by discussing "lipstick" feminism, which is far more moderate than the combat-boot variety. "She can be a girly-girl and still be a feminist," explains Jennifer Baumgardner, coauthor of Manifesta: Young Women, Feminism, and the Future. "There's no need to eschew things like shopping, makeup, or boyfriends." Don't think she's ready for a Maxim subscription just yet? Sign her up for Bust, a feminist-lite mag that says women can be independent, strong, and relatively hairless.

3. TREAT HER RIGHT
Once a relationship is established, you should treat a feminist just like you'd treat any other girl you're interested in, Baumgardner advises. As long as you're not overbearing, she won't object to your opening the occasional door or picking up a check. Next, unlock her repressed Malibu Barbie fantasies and buy her a tight tank top with FEMINIST printed on the chest from outspokenclothing.com. Tell her she looks great--but try to avoid phrases like "bodacious ta-tas."

4. SHIFT HER FOCUS
To preserve any chance of getting your chin buttered, you'll have to reshizzle her feminist-tinged interests so you can actually spend time with her. "Focus on the things you have in common," suggests Michele Weiner-Davis, author of The Sex-Starved Marriage. She likes pro softball? Take her to a major-league game. She's a staunch environmentalist? Go camping. She supports a woman's right to reject the outdated mores of our male-dominated society? Tell her to get closer to your mike.

Wedding Dress Win

WTF

I don't know what this is or who it belongs to but it's weird and cool!

Damien Hirst

Yesterday while on my lunch break I was convinced I seen Damien Hirst, it's not likely to have been him though. But it reminded me how much I like his work, I don't know why people get so worked up and hate him. I like EVERYTHING he's done, it doesn't matter that he doesn't make the work with his own hands and it doesn't matter than he enjoys his lifestyle.

A Thousand Years

1990

It's fun that this was made the year I was born, maybe it was a sign of what my life was to be.

Jenny Coyne

There are 23 people in the United Kingdom called Jenny Coyne, it's quite weird when you find things like that out. I guess it's not that many, I'm sure there's quite a few more people with the name David Brown, or John Smith, I can't think of what would be the most common names.

I wonder if we have anything else in common...

The Illusionist

I watched this film today, it's very good. A lot of it is of Edinburgh, I'm not from Edinburgh so that doesn't mean a great deal to me. But, it is very good. Quite sad.

Nipple Stickers

I just bought these, how fantastic. 

Earthlings

I watched a documentary last night on YouTube called Earthlings, you should search for and watch it. It was about 'speciesism', the way in which human beings treat other species for pets, food, sport etc. It was horrific, I was expecting it to be but probably not as bad as that. I stopped watching it seventeen minutes in when a dog was put into a bin lorry and crushed, but then I watched the rest and it didn't get any better.

So, I know this sounds... Well I'm not actually sure what the word for it is. I have always known that animals were killed (quite brutally) for meat etc. I have seen programs like this before, my immediate family have always been vegetarian so unusually me being the meat eater has been the odd one out.

Basically, I want to see if I can go veggie for a week.
Which will be super difficult for me seeing as I don't eat vegetables either, there's not really anything that I eat unless it's red or white. Maybe this will be like Super Size Me, the girl who tried to be veggie but died.

And another reason is that I have always been disgusted with the concept of children's ham.

BILLY BEAR HAM.

Shin Murayama

No website for this artist, google will show you all. 

Janine Rewell

Now, I don't really like illustration unless it's Japanese, but this piece by Janine Rewell takes it to somewhere that interests me. It's a really good idea, that can be further developed and I'm sure someone could make a strong comment about beauty with adapting the technique.

tan the man!

Gray's degree show

Last night was the degree show at Gray's School of Art. The opening night is always so busy so it's difficult to see everything. What I did see was really good though, I feel proud! The sculpture was a lot stronger than it has been before, nobody seemed to be letting the side down. Now I can't wait for next year!

Antichrist

I found some of the shit I've been saving on my laptops and computers over the years and found some stills from the Antichrist by Lars Von Trier. I recommend it to everyone!

Henrietta Ludgate

When I first came to art school I wanted to study fashion, I'm pleased that I didn't in the end, I love sculpture but I do still love fashion. I'm more of a spectator as money is one of the essentials in the life of a fashionista. There's a lot I don't know about new designers, today I discovered Henrietta Ludgate. I really like her clothes, nice shapes and colours. What I would dress like if my life had no restrictions!

Even if fashion isn't your thing, still have a look!

the man behind the suicide documentary

So during this week I've seen two amazing pieces of television. Which is good, because recently I've felt that Channel 4's documentaries can be a piece of shit. They seem to be creating even more hatred in this country. One was advertised as an inside look at muslim hate schools, 6 months/ a years worth of filming uncovered nearly nothing so the program just kept repeating the very small amount of footage it had.

Anyway, earlier in the week was Terry Pratchett looking into the world of assisted suicide, killing yourself in Switzerland etc. It showed a man killing himself, it was very emotional.

Last night Channel 4 aired a documentary on Sri Lanka's Killing Fields, it was worth watching, you can still catch it on 4od.

The link below is an interview with the man who did the filming for Terry.

facts for the day

Apparently, prostitutes earn more money when they're ovulating.

Your voice is more attractive to a man when you're on your period.

Most of the porn watched in America, is watched in states that are the most religious.

If you have sex while you're pregnant the baby feels 'non-sexual excitement'

How odd.

The vice version of life

I feel like I should stop using Vice as a point of reference, but I guess as an art student I'm surrounded by people of this persuasion. Who actually lives like this, do you wear second hand underwear too? I doubt it, so it's just an image, not a lifestyle. Vice is just a mirage. But I read it, here is their opinion on SlutWalk...

click here

slutwalk

So today was the SlutWalk walk in London, this article from the BBC is a general piece of journalism documenting the event, which is obviously what the BBC do,

read the article

However, recently I read an article on the subject written by a female writer for the Daily Mail, for starters I shouldn't have been reading the Daily Mail but it really proved that even the ladies working for that particular paper are coming across as misogynists.

Basically, she was saying the classic, 'I don't mean to be racist/sexist etc. but...' and then saying something racist/sexist etc.

Her version was, I'm not saying its a girls fault if she gets raped but wearing clothes like that, she's attracting the wrong type of attention. Exactly the same sort of story as the one that started the SlutWalk revolution in the first place.

Counter productive, and quite embarrassing.

Lulu Allison

This piece is called 'Silly willy and big fat fanny'.

I love this!

Why girls hate each other

The last two posts have been links to Vice and again this post is going to be the same. It's not that I think Vice is particularly amazing, it's a little bit pretend teen culture, lots of pretending that people take acid and stick lemons up their bum, or something cool but not cool.

But here we go, another article. It's not that I agree with what this lady is saying it's just always useful to listen to what everyone is saying, not just what you want to hear. All is relevant.



click on me!

yours sincerely

well I think my blogs just going to be a hole where I can keep everything without forgetting about it.

Like this... which is fantastic, but it's quite close to my degree show plans so I hope it doesn't catch on!

If you are a follower of mine, expect a lot more of this I'm afraid.
I think it's interesting.



Only if you're old enough to look!

Karla Black

A female artist, from Alexandria. Not far from Dumbarton, maybe there's something in the water in our area that helps that fantastic artistic talent flourish!

Have a look!

Her work is obviously coming from a background in painting, not really something I'd usually like, but I like it.

Mac Attack

Today I got a MacBook, I haven't jumped for joy, or shed a tear so hopefully I might stay strong throughout the relationship. No life changing feelings, but a good feeling knowing that my dissertation will probably be better because of this.

If I have an IPhone in a years time, I will eat my hat.

Empty

All I have to talk about right now is breaking into an envelope factory. It was really good fun, after going to St. Peters Seminary in Cardross and an abandoned waterworks in Dumbarton I really wanted to visit a few empty buildings in Aberdeen. It doesn't really serve a purpose in relation to my studio work but it's still worth doing.

this bed was quite recently slept in.

After quite a long time of resisting the blog I guess I've decided it might be something worth having. Here I am, hello.
