(have just listened to the end of the show and there is a technical screw up on the last 5 secs of the last song, bombastic intro - but believe me, you are not missing much)
and through the magic of the internet - here is the podcast - ahhh, no! here is the podcast,engoy!

Very guitar driven show this week but quite mellow too - mostly...

Almost midnight and have a presentation in the morning - but just want to mention a phrase I have in my head - don't know what it could be used for - satirical ad campaign. The slogan is "The Elderly - A Dying Breed" - I need an image - perhaps just of some happy old person - could be used on so many different levels - will, if I remember or get the time do a few mock-ups from google nicked images. Another slogan is "The Young - Can't Beat Them." and perhaps a shot of a riot (very preoccupied with riots at the moment - bizarre). I need a slogan for middle aged and babys - will let you know
("Babys - couldn't eat a whole one" - old one!)

Working on the new podcast at the moment which entails playing music and thinking - hey, that´s kinda good, i think i will add that to the list - tough process.
Couple of images I thought I might share - starting to get more results with this primitive printing technique. And, as I like, the results are almost immediate but look even better when scanned and digitized.
Bringing a folder to school tomorrow to do a load more scans since they have a larger scanning bed - will see what results I get from that.
THese images are a mix of printing from glass and direct spray with stencils (though the stencils are extremely basic). I should also mention that they are all scans from the same image - a pain in the ass, perhaps, but sometimes I like the ability to pick and choose which part of a produced image to use. Since many of my images develop in real time, that is, there is no preconceived idea of an end result, but more the image grows in a controlled environment, many times there are parts of an image that feel/seem unfulfilled - this is partly down to my own technical proficiency, but also since I as the creator have minimal idea of where the image is taking me - sometimes I finish satisfied, other times, not. Being able to crop in PS means that I can keep the image as a whole in paper format for further use. No, these will not be the prints going up in a gallery - I have higher standards than that - contrary to what you have heard :-)

Anyway, back to the images - There is also a touch of charcoal, just to emphasize some of the edges and some other materials which I cant remember. Will have a play with the these image in PS and see what comes out the binary treadmill.

By the way, the last post contains the link to the first personal podcast i have released - if you missed it, check it out here - spo3 first radio podcast

and a little bit of talking from me - engoy!

was thinking of doing a huge hammy "welcome" sign, it would be against my ethos but on the other hand, sooo for the desired character of this blog ( - yeah, remember kids, this blog has a life outside of the creator, so i have been told anyhows, by you, and the implied reader) which will rest entirely upon the facts of ignorance.
You can catch the drift by driving to the snow plough - boom boom.

From here on in I will try to dispel some myths being sown by a red headed, impotent sea bass - with a double (capital) S. A creature who never has tasted weed, whether from the garden of the sea or the blisters on the fingers (it Can grow anywhere you know) - so instead I am working on a new podcast, a personal show and none of that other bullshit polluting.

So instead of "Derrida was a Bastard!" here is a jacket hanging... - engoye!

Ps - I am against murder, if there is any clarification needed - Darryl Durr (could have been as guilty as a guilty thing, who will know now?)

want to go to bed soon...
earlier I was going to go out to the pub and then realised that I got stuff to do and so came down to the cellar and read the news about adobe/apple spate, the volcano, football fixtures, a bit of spraying and other mundane time wasting activities - oh, an argument between one of my musical heroes, billy bragg, and the local bnp candidate for his area in london - and bill, for crying out loud, why did you try to shout this prick down? you just turned into the leftist raving loony that gives disenfranchised and undecided voters the reasons to vote for the "racist fascists", or was it "fascist racist"? see for yourself - http://ow.ly/1AtG9 I mean, you don't have to dig the hole for these prunes, you got to just take them byu tthe hand and nod your head and walk in a direction that allows them themselves to fall into the holes they dug for themselves the moment they set off on their moral/political journey - Bill, within rhetoric terms, most of the leg work has been done for you - all you got to do is expose it for what it is... you're still one of my heroes, so don't worry on that front! (i can't see you losing sleep though)

a picture for today anyhow - sprays and felts - a detail from a bigger piece, but as ever, i can't fit the a3 sheets onto the scanner - who got a bigger scanner for me???

have never known many people to be followers of ash before, but it is surprising to see a healthy minority making comment upon and taking stock of the recent volcano eruption on Iceland - and that is outside of the Icelanders that i know. You would expect them to chat about it and their amusement at watching news readers trying to pronounce the name of the location of the eruption is amusing in itself.
But aside from the mild hilarity of the planet blowing a geothermal fuse, it still strokes me as awesome the way that the globe upon which we float has the never ending ability to put us in our respective place - there have already been the cancellations of thousands of flights from airports across northern europe, and the disruption that this has caused, and now the rumours of failing crops this year because of whatever photosynthesis knock-ons - what else will follow?
In no regard is this in anyway comparable to some of the major natural disasters that have happened in recent times where hundreds of thousands have perished. But I wasn't present at those locations and I always try to turn off my heart strings when watching stories like these unfold upon our televisions screens (not because I don't care, but because at some point I just thought that I couldn't take the pain any more) - are we seeing more of this because of our tv and technical infrastructure or is there more of it happening? I for one, am not use either way - but am just glad that there is something out there bigger than the lot of us... that, not in a theological way, gives me a sense of belonging and contentment - and as for the clouds of ash in the sky, weren't the eco liberals of our day saying we had to fly less anyhow?
