BLAM!

i really do wish i was a real Gangsta.
i really wish i had the neck muscles to be able to just wrap 10 kilos of golden blingin' pimped out jewelry around myself.

I usually just settle for a long chain to which i interchange shitty pieces of plastic toys i find in my room or vending machines.

(i need a Hayley Mei! damnit!)

when i was in uni i had an assignment to make a piece of wearable art- that was made out of a word. the word had to reflect the item and what it was made out of...
so i carved up all these bars of soap and made knuckle dusters that said "germ Free" on them in this dope san serif type that i cant remember now.
man were they fresh!
my dad chucked the shits because i was using his Drill press to make the holes the same sizes- and he came home to a drill press full of soap shavings.
i maintain i was cleaning it for him..
but i really do wish i had a set of golden knuckle dusters.
some grills.
... .. a girl can dream....

but i was looking at the NNW blog and they had these amazing adornments.
and i think its a definate need not want.
fucking fresh.im all about 7. and i hate that its totally cliche- but i was born on the 7th of the 7th.... i figure im justified in liking the digit!


i also reckon you need to check out my lady Michelles clothing range. her brand is OK Carnival and her designs are amazing.
we did a little "art swap" and i found myself the proud owner of this amazing 'Fox Stoll Top'
which is so fresh it has to be seen to be believed!this top has built in jewelry.

nice work lady Mich!

happy fucking sunday

so its 9:30 in the morning.. on a sunday.
you can see the tears welling up in my eyes. ew..
(how weird is it that there is blue sky in the background, by the way? i captured the ONE second of vague sun in the whole of the last 72 hours.)
im sitting at workshop surrounded by art that i have to pack away and art that i have to put up on the walls.

and i have to be honest here, im feeling a little rusty.
what 2 better things to cure a minor hangover than...
..
aw isnt workshop pretty when theres no one but me and Mary and Amy here.
yummy!
so Joker at Launrdy last night was amazing!
ill show you some pics when ive finished my arts.
i have to hang this canvas that i havent even finished.. it will be done!

k
laters

i alfalaf'd it

to begin..
potting mix.
a happy disposition
chives (cos grass is useless and we can use chives in tasty potato salads)
cheap ass panty hoes
decorating shit

then i made the shit outta them.

.. tasty tasty chives



this is the beginnings of Cptn. Sprouty McSeed



the beginnings of Fidel Castro



Fidel is done.
and there we have some dope ass alfalfa heads.
i also made a Zombie with shards of wood and blood everywhere, and a whore with boots and a little girl and a ROBOT and i finished the pirate.
try it at home!!

my delectable darla!

today!
today is a lovely sunny day! its my second day off in a row and im feeling mighty relaxed.
yesterday i went into this dodgy warehouse sale on St Georges road... i dont know why.. but i did.
and amongst all the Ecko and over sized mossimo skirts, and the failed line of stussy palm tree t shirts.. (i wonder why) i found an absolute GOLDMINE of Castro's!
i know i know... globes are for little skater kids... or so 90's.. fuck that.
these old man loafers are fucking amazing and im going to walk right back down there today and buy a pair of green plaid ones to go with my well worn white pair.

get in them.
the box is dope too.. comes in a cigar style package.. top notch.

today... to get ready for
on Sunday
michelle and i thought it would be a great idea to make Alfalfa heads to put on the bar!Linkso far this morning i have searched the Internet on instructions on how to make alfalfa heads.. after heavy googling- discovered they really are not known as 'alfalfa heads'- as the only hits i got were little rascal paraphernalia and weird gardening and nutrition websites. i did, however come across this blog.

its called Alfalfa crafts
its this chick who makes jewelry and stuff..
check this out.it made me feel like a bit of a fucking idiot really.
while this chick is cross stitching tiny little squirrels into a fucking ring. im sitting here looking up INSTRUCTIONS on how to shove soil into a fucking stocking.

nice one
anyway. i found the needed paperwork and discovered they are actually called 'grass heads'

so that's my plan for the day!

my brother is in town this weekend for the ULTIMATE FRISBEE ANNUAL TOURNAMENT!
i went to it last year and watched him playing. man. Frisbee is a gnarly sport. its full contact. there were ambulances needed last year! and these crazy fuckers were running around in 40+ degree heat all fucking day! man.
i love that shit!
its down at South Melbourne recreation centre or whatever that massive lump of grass where the car racing is held... there. i would go but i gotta work.



dont forget friday this show should be dope.


alright. call me if you wanna make alfalfa heads! toot!
