Browsing through blogs and admin, hosting, ftp’s, and more. Looks like I will have to get back into the world of html & css. ugh. It’s worth it. I have also stocked up on amazing beads and plan on getting things together in time for the big shopping bonanza known as christ.mas. So far I have given away more work as presents than I have sold. I see it as making women smile and also free publicity. Nothing works better than a glowing recommendation. Maybe I have been watching too much ‘mad men’. Alas autumn is setting in and we will have notihng left to while away the cold exhaustive nights. We’re still building………

I’m going to try and do a drawing a day.

I’m going to try and make a few pieces every weekend.

I’m going to update this website and get all the photos sorted out for my shop……

Time flies

As you can see its almost been over a year! Things are slowly ticking away with the building and I don’t think we will be finished this year, but im not going to kill myself doing it. Stopping for DD and then xmas/NY and the ensuing big freeze then more DD and then finally back, though we’re aiming to have it watertight by the end of october! Currently we are putting on the roof joists. Pretty good still!

I’ve bene randomly doing some drawings and looking at other folks blogs for inspiration…..results pending. Oooof, there are some really bad artists out there making it big! Aaaanyhoo, sure enough I will be back on here. I plan on making some more jewellery whilst in the city – the pieces I have made up here I have sold (not paid tho). Will post pics.

an update of sorts

I’ve been spending more time up north. Its been amazing & exhausting. Its only my friends and family that I miss when i am there but the prospect of having proper wireless internet will drastically change all of that. Here are some of the things i have been making over the last few months. Whilst I am in the city I intend to get my wee shop up & running again – that is, make more stuff! Somewhere inbetween all of that I have to finish my film, and start filming for the other ones……

this is the start of my animal series. i will upload more text once i finish it. in a nutshell it wil explore the connections that we begin with and how the populace are manipulated into mass acceptance of abuse across the board.

saving lives is something that you can do. RIGHT NOW.

it can simply start from just becoming vegetarian.

for the poor people’s campaign

if what you want is jobs
for everyone, you are still the enemy
you have not thought thru, clearly
what that means

if what you want is housing,
industry
(GE on the Navaho
reservation)
a car fro everyone, garage, refrigerator,
TV, more plumbing, scientific
freeways, you are still
the enemy, you have chosen
to sacrifice the planet for a few years of some
science fiction utopia, if what you want

still is, or can be, schools
where all our kids are pushed into one shape, are taught
it’s better to be ‘American’ than Black
or Indian, or Jap, or PR, where Dick
and Jane become and are the dream, do you
look like Dick’s father, don’t you think your kid
secretly wishes you did

if what you want
is clinics where the AMA
can feed you pills to keep you weak, or sterile
shoot germs into your kids, while Merck & Co
grows richer

if you want
free psychiatric help for everyone
so that the shrinks
pimps for this decadence, can make
it flower for us, if you want
if you still want a piece
a small piece of suburbia, green lawn
laid down by the square foot
color TV, whose radiant energy
kills brain cells, where subliminal ads
brainwash your children, have taken over
your dreams

degrees from universities which are nothing
moe then slum landlords, festering sinks
of lies, so you too can go forth
and lie to others on some greeny campus

THEN YOU ARE STILL
THE ENEMY, you are selling
yourself short, remember
you can have what you ask for, ask for
everything
