joy in my life.

Stop being Clever.

I heard from my friend (seek lar on flammeable skirt) our brains don't register negatives. For example if you tell yourself you're not stupid.. your brain only remembers stupid.

oddness that.

but seems true enough.

and would make for fun experimentation.

If I weren't a fantastic handsome uber creative monster genius.

new drawings for What if the World..

penguins!

I found this bin with my sister and her seven month old kiddo in a park in St John's wood in London. It's amazing! Why can't everything be designed this way.. although there are issues to me of feeding animals trash it just makes it all fun! Perhaps more fictional characters.. or robot looking bins.. what councils would lose making more expensive bins they would certainly gain with less trash being around. Make it fun people! Everything! Even throwing away trash!

new painting.. still a sketch

playing with isight on new imac

paul and his tentative luff of the islington bear

mee on the way to brighton with cousin luce

hoooooooo

well.. I could write about the details that currently make up my every waking minute.
planning scheming looking for apartments, trying to stretch money and hoping some freelance comes my way.. but that woud be boring.

or going out on friday.

or lazing in the park on saturday..

hmm bit more interesting perhaps..

twas a nice weekend. Met lotsa people n saw old n newish friends again.

Paul n taniel from durban.. fun as ever and much the same. People who frown at sadness.

And the mad graeme whose humour I compleeeetley relate to.. with jared n his gal jenna in the park laughing laughing sun n lazing. and their kiwi friend who was also hysterical.. hmmm and who might get some freelance flash work for me..


twas a nice respite from the Worry that is London while unemployed..

and the Miss of home.

.. can't wait to be settled so I can lose myself in drawing and make exhibitons and just get going again on the Re-discovery....

week of interviews n Stuff ahead! yay! should be nervous but more just want to get things sorted..

woops talking about the boring stuff again.
night all!

london...

ooops! I'm in london and for a while it seems.
I'm excited but unfortunately feeling very holidayish...

and have images and flickerings of memory of all the people I've found over the past while.. happy memories and amazing people and friendship groups it would take a lifetime to acculate. I miss and will miss sorely before I settle firmly into This.

life washes over you and cleans you and dirties you all at once... it makes you feel fresh and vibrant and allows you so summon the innefable and drain yourself all at once. It is and shall remain an enigma.. that can only be responded to with a wry smile and a small shake of the head.

chuckle.
and rage rage against the dying of the light.

and now. I must fall down and sleep before I can run again. and feel the wind in my face.

11 days

tomorrow it'll be 11 days until I go..

my last day of work.. drinks merriment and speaches.

a few days at my parents a farewell party for friends... wherewhere.. and missing faces from the party..and then jetting off.

note to self. when deciding to go to another country.. be less impulsive.

or maybe not?

at this point travel and absorbing.. being the proverbial sponge seem to be the most important to me.. despite my overwhelming urge to nest.. or rather because of.. my friends are marrying.. yet I see the potential for a long life and the potential to do these things when I'm with the right person.. or rather when me and my partner are old enough to know better than to go through half the crap people my age deal with in relationships.. when "it's you and me baby" really means that..

I ramble..

resigned

aaaah I hate leaving this place..

I resigned this morning form Kingjames RSVP where Jenny Ehlers has been a mad,kind and fantastic boss.
I made good friends and good work and was able to engage in dialogue about work in a constructive and passionate way that I doubt I'll find elsewhere. Well.. basically Jenny and I actually argued the merits of a job and fought to make it good even if we disagreed.. or if the client was clueless and would settle for shit..

So if there are any good experienced graphic designers out there looking for a great place to work in amazing Cape Town South Africa, get hold of Jenny at Kingjames..

rate my drawing!

ok.. it isn't great.. haha but with the newfound time on my hands I'm sure I'll do many more and of much higher glow and yum content.

Have a look at the site.. make a few drawings and post them to me!

The interface is most peculiar.. slow slightly clunky and definately mildly disturbing controlling someone else's hand!
hmmm you should be able to customise your hand a bit methinks..

mememe.. argh.

yup yup it's just me me me now.

Unfortunately and quite exceptionally horribly so.

I've removed myself from the beautiful custard house and estranged myself from the generally darling tammany.. in the hope that she'll be happier.. I'll be happier.. remedy lack of growth .. and a whole lot of reasons I cannot bring myself to type on the internet.

Enormous amazing fantastic happiness to her.

And a shitty stage of transition for me.. but I'm plodding on towards the sun.
