A few of my favorite Prince lyrics....

What's the matter with your life
Is the poverty bringing you down?
Is the mailman jerking you 'round?
Did he put your million dollar check
In someone else's box?
Tell me, what's the matter with your world
Was it a boy when you wanted a girl?

Would you let me wash your hair?
Could I make you breakfast sometime?
Well then, could we just hang out
I mean, could we go to a movie and cry together?
Cos to me baby, that would be so fine

I just can't believe all the things people say - Controversy
Am I black or white? Am I straight or gay? - Controversy
Do I believe in God? Do I believe in me? - Controversy

I only wanted to see you
Bathing in the purple rain

 

 Wow... Brisbane was great.

The check one is much bigger than the 'pantaloon' as Milly described it.

i'm revolting

One of my favorite blogs, i'm revolting has my work featured there this week from a lucky stumble upon from a ceramist I have been following on Pinterest Mike McDowell who pins some very nice clay. Thanks guys!

I'm a bit obsessed with Pinterest atm, especially all the gooey clay work I have been seeing. So I have been inspired to make more stuff but in the meantime here is some older stuff I have finally gotten around to taking a few pictures of...

figure and ground - untopian slumps

I almost missed this guy up in the top corner but once our eyes met, it was true love. Concrete, we must meet and make friends some time.

 Are they strange cacti in the back next to the weighed down trolley of big lump-o-rock?

 

Concret totem with a touch of terrazzo. 

Spastic/plastic looking koala, I love you.
Is ceramics loosing its dagginess? Surely if it's at Utopian Slumps.

This work is part of a group show at No Vacancy opening 8th March.

Little Deities

DIY?

I was talking to some friends on the weekend who inspired me to knock out that brick wall of my garage and extend the door into a double glass sliding doors. Mark said all it took was a few youTube tutorials.
Found some doors on eBay, source a trailer then light filled studio here I come. Thanks Mark, Lisa and Gwyneth.

Another reason why I haven't been blogging

I moved into my Preston unit over an month ago now and have been finding paint in my hair ever since. I finally finished the zig zag wall, thanks to a handy online tutorial. Nails in the wall and some artwork up. Yay. Next, a garage studio but fixing the leaky roof.
