Solipsistic Pop 2

So me and the boyfriend went to the launch of solipsistic pop 2 last night and it was a rather enjoyable/mellow event. I bought the book,obviously! It's lovely and I got a free tote bag which is blue. They had dogtanion, sleeping states, and tristram and that was rather nice. It was a really nice pub called the cross kings in kings cross. Robin Ince was also there doing a bit of comedy,I love it when he talks about the cute things his son says. I got my copy of MOME through the post today and the other day I bought issue 1 of NoBrow at Somerset house where there was a graphicy,screenprinty sort of exhibition going on called 'Pick me up' (in Embankment,London). It's seems I'm going all out on the comic books annuals at the moment. Woo!

Bought Chuckie for £1.50

I love charity shops!

Portfolio

I've got a portfolio! A4 in size. It's half finished but it's a start. I've got new names for my paintings,well some of them weren't even named in the first place. I've called the red and yellow painting "Chairs can talk and man can walk",the large blue one is called "this is not a feminist painting",then the two smaller paintings are called "aerl" and "bad man". Ages ago, I was told by one of my tutors to use the name of the painting to give it a quirky edge and humour in a more sophisticated way,but then I was also told by another tutor to put a penis in my painting to make it more contraversial and 'arty' so I'm not sure I'll take all suggestions too seriously.

Art

I've been working hard over the past few days and produced these paintings which I'm happy with. I think they are going in the end of year exhibition. Have stretched another canvas so I can work over the summer.

Mome

Can't wait til this arrives.

Art Rabbit

Found a cool way to find out about current or upcoming exhibitions. It's called artrabbit.

24 Harper Road

Yesterday evening I took a little trip with Adrian to 24 Harper Road in Southwark near Elephant and Castle to attend the 'introduction to zine making' workshop. The place is affiliated with Raw Canvas,The Tate and they have a facebook page to keep up to date with . It ended up being really interesting and I made a completely new zine which I'm really proud of and which has inspired some paintings of mine. The workshops are running til some time in May and there's loads to chose from.

Here's the zine I made : (rubbish photo of it)
I think I might attend moustache evening. Woo!

I want to do this.

Cooking and Knitting

1) Tonight Adrian and I made Spag Bol and it was yummy
2)I bought two sets of knitting needles from my favourite charity shop last week for 50p!
3)Just need to buy wool now...

Foals- Spanish Sahara

I'm literally wetting myself with excitement to see these guys on thursday night! Absolutely love this video.

Jeffrey Brown

I only know about Jeffrey Brown because of my boyfriend's recommendation. I've read Clumsy,and unlikely and other relationship related Jeffrey Brown Books,and now I've read this one. I was desperate to finish it in one sitting because I found it that addictive. I love the bits about art school and little things that happen to him which are pretty normal but honest and funny,I'm reading "Little things" now.

Happy Easter
