Characters

This is another piece from first year, we were asked to look at different characters  and represent their personalities in a visual way. I took photos of my good friend Anna posing to match different themes which were then edited to further suggest each personality type. Click on them for the personality types in the file name!

Macho

Just found a memory stick from first year, this was an editorial project for an article in the Guardian called 'How to hide' I looked at how people hide behind a front of masculinity.

Howard Gardens Show (part 2)

Here are some more photos from the exhibition:

Found on the bus

I found this on the bus, I really don't know what its for but I am guessing some kind of school project.

Howard Gardens Show (part 1)

Here are some photos I took at the Howard Gardens show, some stuff I really like other stuff I don't really fully understand but it was all interesting!

Sad things

On the way to the Howard Gardens exhibition on Monday I saw these two things which made me a little sad. The poster suggests that the laptop has a lot of personal information on it and it can be really horrible when you lose a possession like this. I always find lost or broken toys a bit unnerving too.

Nice Box

My housemate Hannah gave me this box at my request, again I really like the design of it. I think the hand drawn type is very attractive indeed.

Pigeon Pal

We have a new garden friend, Percy who seems to have some sort of tail injury has been spending some time with us this afternoon, when we went inside he tried to come in.

Pop Idol

My housemates have created this masterpiece using a free Pop Idol annual found in Hypervalue. Each of us is matched with our double from the 2001 series.

Cool Can 2

I bought this today from Marks and Spencer's I like their nostalgic product line a lot.

Final Project

Yesterday was the day all our exhibition work went up, I was lucky enough to receive a lot of help with my space from various people including my housemates who were kind enough to come in and do some painting for me. I haven't yet taken a photo of my space but I attach here a couple of photos of my completed books. I don't think I have ever been more proud of a piece of work!

Cards

I am back in Bristol for a couple of birthdays so thought I would share with you the cards I made. The one for my brother is based on a Flight of the Conchords poster.

Harsh Note

My friend Hayley actually found this note for me, I believe it was Mothers day or around that date and she found it on a table she was clearing in Costa.

Mr Hudson and Mpho

I was lucky enough to win tickets to see Mr Hudson at Barfly via a What's On Wales competition advertised on Twitter. I didn't really know what to expect for the gig as it seems like he has just recently become Mr Hudson from Mr Hudson and library so I wasn't really sure what music he would play. However the whole gig was brilliant especially from the excellent view we had at the front of the small and sweaty Barfly! The support act was called Mpho which she had us chanting at the end, she was a very confident lady from Brixton with an exceptional voice, I am sure we will be seeing a lot more of her. Mr Hudson himself was brilliant, a great show person with a very honest voice, I liked him lot and his new song Supernova sounded great. Was also interesting to hear a steel drum at a gig, think it might be a first! Here are a couple of photos Mpho has the yellow jacket on. 

Lists

I have been writing a ridiculous amount of lists the past few days so thought it relevant that I share with you some lists that I have found in the past couple of years living in Cardiff. These are all shopping lists but very different- they each display a little bit about the writer I think, some perhaps more than others!
