WOWEEEEE Natalie, how was your first term at university? It was like catching everyone's cold and putting on a stone in weight. I now do Fine Art like, all the time. Huh huh huh. Don't ask me to define Fine Art, it's like defining fluff. It's also incredibly difficult to put on deviantART.



The course is brilliant, we meet real artists, have heated critical discussions and are pretty much left to do WHATEVER WE WANT. I'm doing voyerism, literally. Of course people know I'm taking photos and filming them. Of course of course. Very, very happy with how my work is going, want to start using proper film soon; I have bought an ancient Super 8 camera to play with. 20 quid for 3 minutes of film, credit crunch, what credit crunch? Sickening I know, but I better make the most of these years while I still have a stonking great loan.

Lets face it, after I graduate I'm going to starve. In the meantime I am having a bloody good time, seeing new art and going to all the gallery openings, nobbing with all the Fine Art nobs, trying to define pretentious.


Here I am with one of my works, I call it 'Metal Box', because it's a metal box.

Having a bit of time on my hands, I decided to WATCH THE BBC'S VERSION OF 'GORMENGHAST'. Sarrin, cover your eyes, I am very sorry. I know I'm a bit biased having read the books about 78634125381383 times, but I felt like ripping my own brain out whilst watching. It was a technicolour nightmare, the script was like 'Gormenghast, for stupid people.' and JRM plays Steerpike with as much icy subtlety as a big brick of ham. Just embarassing really. One day, even if it's made on the budget of a packet of crisps, I will film my own version of Gormenghast. Promise.

OR DAVID LYNCH COULD DO IT. YEEEEEEES.


What do you think Coop? I think I'll have more coffee.

I have been watching his cult 90's telly series 'Twin Peaks' for so long now that it's embedded in my brain. When I look in the mirror I see BOB, I am that addicted. Ho ho ho, that was an in-joke, go and watch it; you too will know the joy of backwards speaking, dancing dwarves and owls that are not what they seem. Lynch is my new favourite, favourite director at the minute, I want to BE him for frick's sake. Hey, maybe I'm on the way, he started his career doing weird Fine Art videos too. Ooooo. Please have a look at his films; the darkest, nastiest corners of your brain will thank you forever and ever and ever. But don't watch 'Eraserhead' when your alone, it does strange things to your state of conciousness.



For Christmas I got some exciting blue boots, Lush products, a whole shelf's worth of books and lots of Hitchcock. Amongst the books I got the infamous Alan Moore's 'Lost Girls', which is 10% graphic novel and 90% porrrrn. Think The Wizard of Oz, Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland only with the charachters shamelessly bonking eachother, and you have some idea of what it's like. Lovely Tom has been a lovely and bought me SPORE, which I love, even though I feel like crying if I accidentally extinct a species. IT'S NOT EVEN REEEAL!

If that is not a good enough update on my life, below is a link of me singing my favourite song. Low by Flo Rider. You can see the enjoyment in my face.

APPLE BOTTOM JEANS AND THOSE BOOTS WITH THE FURRRR.

Goodbye, I will try to upload more things soon, it could be quite a mixture. I have photography, Gormenghast fanart and CD cover illustrations all on the way, so stay tuned. Although DA has absolutely NO relation to what's going on in the real Art World, I still like it here.

GLORIOUS PEOPLE!






WHY JOHNNY, WHHHYYYYYYYYY??!!!
