So we have just started our graphics specialism at college and for our short project we were asked to create words showing their meanings in a variety if different media.

This was originally my first idea and it's still my favourite. Im really happy with how this came out, although i should have been more prepared and bought ingredients rather than just raid my parents kitchen cupboards :D

This is what everyone should see when they wake up. I loved this so much, I added this on the desktop on the computer in the vinyl room of my job. I even sent it to my friend who is an artist, and she loved it. Who wouldn't wanna wake up to this?

So did you listen?

Me curious!

haha

I dig all the links!

oh man, can't you just come to the show?

I'm sure there's some kind of time travel skill that you could learn, or time travel 80's car you could steal.

I saw your tumblr site. It's cool. Not as weird as I wanted. So I left right away

jk

Nice. I play guitar.

I love blues. if you listen to the songs, you could get that.

But, yeah, blues is my heart.

I was at a bar tonight, with a bunch of co workers. played this one song, a cover of an old skip james song. man...silence. it was...fuck. that's what you want. everyone to just stop, as if they are feeling it personally. like a personal recharge. it hits you that hard and so good.

it was rad seeing everyone just stop and listen. so good.

Busking is rad! there's a busking video of my band! we played at this event called busker fest in long beach.

more details on that. after i'm not tired. but the premise is having bands play on 3 flat bed trucks...not power.

i do dig the music store. i get to really network, learn about a lot of music, surround myself.

i get to do a lot.

i do appreciate it. fun times. can be tedious, strenuous and ridiculous. but for the most part it
s good times.

so what's primark?

does your manager say you got red on you? ha :P

Yeah it was awesome really gritty and I loved it

Unfortunately I'm not rich enough to have my own time travel method but could borrow my neighbours possibly

I did try to make it more normal for your arrival
I tidied up and everything

Oh awesome skip James is great
Yeah I love that feeling when you just get into the music and its all about the feeling
That's why I love playing blues

Do you busk a lot?

Yeah working in a music store sounds great
Tbh my graphics job is like I'm their IT girl
They see me as some sort of computer guru

Primark is a cheap clothing store we have in the UK I think it's called something else in Ireland.
A lot of weird shit happens there because the people who shop there come from this place I like to call the mutant mile

Nice Shaun of the dead reference there

Righteous, bruv!

Glad you dug the demo.

Man, you reply so swiftly. I love it. I'm gonna start calling you swift, like the fox in David the Gnome.

Swift, I did enjoy the cleanliness. I arrived without a Will Smith Hitch.

The wolf was a great driver and guide.

You know Skip James? Werd! That's my hero.

Alvin Youngblood Hart covering Illinois Blues just killllls me.

haha no I don't busk a lot. We just played this event called Buskerfest. Where there were 3 flatbed truck stages. And 12 bands.

It was a competition. Bands competed for these coins. Whoever got the most coins won.

We had a bag on our stage, and people went to a booth to get 7 coins, and distributed them to the bands they liked.

Pretty fun.

We came in 2nd. :(

But, it was sooo much fun.

Also, bands weren't supplied power or anything like that. Some bands kinda cheated and used the truck's battery.

I wanted to be more creative. So I used a megaphone for vocals, a battery amp, and a ghetto blaster/boom box, in which I ran a mic from that, into the amp.

So I was playing guitar out of the boom box. haha

Wild.

Primark. Interesting.

yeah, people stealin' mannequins and shit. Wowza

Here's a video of us from Buskerfest. We came up with this routine for our song called, Zombie Blues.

I'm so stoked someone got it on video. That song was so much fun to play. I couldn't believe the crowd of people there.

you remind me a bit of jack white for some reason

yeah my dad buys CDs at the bootsale for me and one of his albums was there so I got into him

that sounds pretty fun tbh and second is still brilliant well done

unfortunately thats not the strangest thing thats happened there
does anything weird happen at your work?

Thats an awesome set
although whoever was filming focused on your butt a lot
just saying

Hey there, swift!

haha Jack White. Yeah. I get that. I've gotten that a lot

Especially, when I was 7.

JK Rowling.

I mean, just JK.

:P

Nice. Way to go, pops. What's a British nick name for Dad? Brad? haha

Whoa there's an amazon addd to the right about fleece hats, and one of them looks like Scott Pilgrim's.

I think cause I was gonna buy a Scott Pilgrim style hat the other day. Strange

I reckon that wouldn't be the strangest thing. Although, I don't know too many strange happs at clothing stores.

What do you do there?

I just realized that when I'm cold I totally extend my left leg.

And it's not even to pee. Weird.

It's hard to explain. I wish I could draw it.

I sit weird, anyhow.

I'm weird, anyhow.

Weeeird things. Oh, sure! lol at both jobs.

Oh, that's another thread lol

But, yeah one crazy guy at the record store with a huge tumor on his head said he wanted to kill everyone, and that it was his store. That was fun.

There's a guy that comes in all the time that we have dubbed the mole man. He smells. like really bad. and he farts, and he just is there for way too long. and he doesn't like anyone in his space.

He lost a 45 (7" record. do you know records? I dunno) so he was like, "well, I'm just gonna have to start over and I won't leave 'till I find it!"

And I was just heading to lunch. I was like, Oh, that's good to hear. Well, have fun Meagan.

Meagan was covering for me.

She works with me.

She's ok.

Sometimes I really hate her.

Then sometimes I hug her.

I think I'm lenient with the disdain.

Anyhow, yes. Thanks! Well, that wasn't a whole set. Just the song.

And maaaaybe you're just looking at my butt, hahaha! :P Just saying

But, yeah. My alias does where those tight ass black pants. Also, That girl who was filming now works at Fingerprints. I don't care for her too much as a co worker. I don't really consider her a friend. Kinda. its like everything out of her mouth (Oh btw she's meagan's roomie, er, flat mate, yeah? yeah haha) is kinda pretentious, or that she's trying really hard to be on your level or gain some sticker stars for impressive behavior. And I'm just like...I didn't even say anything!

For instance, I went to this show last week, to see this hip hop artist, and a bunch of us from work were there. And she's there. random. And she's like "oh, wow what are you doing here?" UGH!

Uhhh cause it's 2 Mex? And I've always wanted to see him?

Who says that? I just retorted, what are YOU doing here? lol

le sigh.

Wow, this is becoming super personal. Who knew, Deviantart! Who knew.

Thanks for listening to my music and watching the video.
:batman:
:woohoo:

It's also my birthday. yaaaay

Funny, now that I have this account. I'm like really into it. I think I'm gonna start posting my flyers on here. I just made a flyer tonight, for my scott pilgrim birthday party thingy on Saturday.

I was gonna go out to this show and have some drinks...but nope, I'm working. For my birthday, I'm working. lol such a geeko, I am.

I wish I could show you. Guess I'll deviantart it.

You have an instagram?

I'm also thinking of getting a tumblr.

Wow this is a long message.

Go me

ok.

G'night, from my end of the world.

So I got rescued by Callum and stayed at his till the roads were ok to come home

That was fun haha

I actually have some really cool hats
I have a long wolf hat
Two panda hats
A steampunk top hat
And I'm thinking of getting an animal hood/ pork pie hat

Yeah we get weird people like that

Yeah we have record shops
There's a record shop where I busk called rose red records sometimes they have bands play in there

Sometimes I don't like my coworkers and other times they are alright but I feel like I can't be myself around them :/

Eh I can look :)

My art teacher is incredibly pretentious
He purposely pronounces words wrong to make himself sound posh

It's alright Nd happy birthday

Nice I did flyers for a band aswell
