'Do you want to go to the seaside?'

I often find myself pottering about
 with a camera taking photographs of
 everything. I have also found I have been listening to an unholy amount of Fleetwood Mac, but I am not going to take loads of pictures of them. One day I pottered down 
to the beach and took some
 photographs.



This is water leaking through one
 of the tide breakers. The noise of
the water made me need a wee.
I love living by the sea and stories about the sea. I remember when I was little by dad Damian, reading a story called 'The Mouse hole cat', about a village in Cornwall (the name of which I cannot spell) s
omething like Mousa. Mouse with an /a/ at the end.
Alas I digress.


Mermaid pottery.
And some stones.

I have fo
und some interesting things on the beach. Bits of glass, pottery, trollies, bottles, hats is a popular one, dead fish, one time me and my friend Callum went down to the beach really early in the morning and found a large dead seal.
And last year a large boat carrying biscuits was washed up, 'The River Dance' was its name. It looked eire in the dark. Its gone now.

Fleetwood pier
Possibly one of the last photos of Fleetwood pier ever taken as about 3 days later it burnt down.
It is rare I venture to Fleetwood but when I do I make sure I get some evidence.
I like the structure of the, 'Once was', pier. A homeless man lived underneath this pier. I don't know where he lives now.





Pilling sands
This is almost as north as you can get as far as the Fylde beach area goes. The largest village in England, Pilling. Its only the largest because each house is about 3 miles apart and comes with 100 acres of land. Maybe an exaggeration. This over looks Pilling sands and right over Hashem docks and Cumbria. That boat is leaving Hashem to go the Isle of Mann. I love the way t
he clouds and the sky fall into each other.
I don't really paint land or seascapes but my friend Jenny can paint beautiful ones.



Manya night a couple of my friends pick me up in their car and we drive down to the beach and watch this sight. 

The sea is one of my favorite places and a great inspiration to me, even if its not the sea that I am painting.

Tooth pick person
This reads, 'It's ok. If you were drawn with a tooth pick you would look like this to.'
I had a tooth pick and some ink and very little to do. I also feel that if we were all drawn with tooth picks we would look like this little being here. 
Notebook
This is a notebook I made for a development piece. The pages are made out of coffee stained tracing paper it is bound by fabric. Each page has some thing different on it, some of it my work, some of it Jack Karuacs notes.

Art Exam...




This is my sketch book for my art exam which I finnished last week. The writing on the front reads,
 'Take me with you on the road to the sky, down the path to the end of the earth and then bring me back home again...'

This is the first page. The project is based on the book, 'On the Road'. My sketch book is laid out like a travel journal and is more of a piece then my sketch book for this project.





Having a wonder...

This is the first baby rabbit to leave the nest. He hopped out of the den and down the ramp in the bottom of the hutch. He spent a good while there. As you can see he is only very small so I had to give him a hand getting back up to bed. He had had a very big day and was soon fast a sleep curled up with his brothers and sisters.

Baby Rabbits

These are the 2 week old baby rabbits. I think there are 5.
As you can see they a assortment of colours which is odd because both their parents are black. But we love them any way.

Monday 4 May 2009

It's been 2 weeks since I last posted anything so I felt I should.
I started my final art exam last Wednesday, it was the first of 3 5 hour days I have in which I must complete my final piece. I shall take photographs yes.
Other then that not to much to say.
Only a few weeks of college left before my exams so off I go to revise.
O yes, I am about half way through reading 'The Bell Jar' by Sylvia Plath and would recommend it.
