DREAM


ROCKIN THAT SHIT RIGHT
VIDEO
VIDEO REMIX 

This song is so sweet, especially the mid section bridge where The Dream sings both the male and female parts of a lurid, car make out session

We out the door, we in the car.
She under my shirt, I'm under her bra.
She said take it if you want it.
Then we made love 'til the first light of morning. 


The Dream is best known for producing Rhihanna's monster hit Umbrella. As if to remind you of this inescapable fact The Dream Album Love Vs Money is littered with the self propagating catchphrase "radio killa illa illa". 

Love Vs Money is probably the catchiest thing this side of the Ebola virus - my pick for album of the year 2009.

TRANSCRIPT

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

SWOON

where is this image from - you know the answer.... it was your favourite movie at some point

LARVAE

 

Hubert Duprat’s aquatic caddis-fly larvae. Duprat leaves precious materials in aquatic tanks such as gold, turquoise, tiny pearls and lets the larvae spin exoskeletal cases for themselves to live in. They look astoundingly beautiful.The larvae didn’t build random cases – they built carefully constructed stripes of different materials – so on any given case there might be one stripe of pearls followed by bands of gold or pearls.



The larvae are shown in a tiny strip like aquarium. The day I attended his exhibition there was an older larvae struggling to drag its gilded case behind it. Its torso seemed to be straining with effort. I guess it was a metaphor for the labour involved in accruing material and the literal physical drag of materialism.

PRISM


Love this chunky geometric solid silver ring - it looks like Superman's wedding ring - butch, heavy and crystalline. It is almost too heavy and like all good fashion items makes you more aware of your body when wearing it.

I made one for you but decided to keep it for myself.

THIEF



thief

Evil woman lauren ridley AKA cherryloco on folksy has done her own indentical version of Rolly the Radcore Robot. WTF. She claims since it was on google images it was public domain. I seem to recall drawing this robot and reworking it over and over and over and over.


I am still working on him. If you have read my blog you'll know how many iterations of Rolly I have gone through to get to this point.


post script
After much arguing, the site hosting her work removed 'the love bot' AKA Rolly the radcore robot and 'angry monster' AKA Carrymonster. The whole experience made me realise how I feel very protective/proud of my work.

I really hope that woman Lauren Ridley of Glasgow, Scotland stops selling these two items from her inventory. Furthermore it'd be polite if she acknowledged what she did and apologised. It was quite stressful having to deal with this.

ANGRY

Description
Rah! He’s an angry monster, grrrr! This quirky design is hand pierced from sterling silver on a 16inch chain which also extends up to 18 inches. A little love heart hangs on the end.

Materials: polished sterling silver
Size: 33mm x 23mm 


CHERRYLOCO

Check out this total **** who stole the design of the carrymonster to sell on 'folksy'. She didn't change a single element of the design from his little toes to the placement of the jump rings, his teeth, horns and rounded fingers.

Even the copy from her sales spiel is the same as the copy from my website.

I'd kinda get it if she was dodgy manufacturer from China but she's passing it off as original work on a craft site.  Apparently alot of her work on Folksy.com is just straight rip offs from people on Etsy.com.

The original version. It's weird seeing her stimpy misinterpretations of my drawings. You know when you see the first eight episodes of the Simpsons and they had a different animator and it's grosser and weirder - for me seeing Lauren's redrawing of my drawings feels like that. Same but Wrong.

SCREW

I bought this insane looking faux roccoco mirror and wall display set from these Russian traders at Camberwell Markets. They wouldn’t give me a discount.
-This is an antique, very old, no discount
-But how can it be an antique? it’s made out of plastic and you sprayed it gold.
They didn’t have a comeback for that but there was still no discount. Instead the Slavic crone spun the mirror around
-See look at that
She said pointing to a screw
-That is fine workmanship, you don’t see that anymore.
