La Clique
I just got in from seeing La Clique at the Spiegeltent.
Fucking hot.
And inspiring. And hot. And funny. And hot hot hot.
I've always wanted to dance the tango, to hang from trapezes and ropes. Tomorrow I make the call. But more than acrobatics, or comedy or display, there is something massive seeing people being all they can be. It speaks volumes.
Did I say hot?
Phew.

Please help: Photoshop make me cranky
So, if anybody is out there, and has a clue about why I can use the pen tool, but it wont select what's inside the path I draw - please help.
It seems so easy, andI'm sure it is. But I can't work it out to save myself and I'm now getting cranky.
Maybe I'll go and play with my camera instead..

Inspiration: Art inflected art
Along with my usual rants about my muddled existence, this blog is also about my creative inspiration. I spend hours online looking at art and design, music video, film and galleries - always sourcing inspiration. I thought it best to capture some of what I find inspiring and share it.
I also find it quite interesting looking at trains of thought - how we might start off with one quest in mind, but follow tangents and rambling paths that lead us to discover other stuff.
This morning I was looking into the work of Hussein Chalayan, which pretty much lead me straight to the Tate Modern - my favourite comtemporary gallery. This gallery has an excellent way of displaying comtemporary art comprehensibly.
Check out Tate Tracks - a great initiative whereby the Tate invites musicians to write tracks inspired by contemporary art. The first track - Chemical Brothers vs Jacob Epstein- can be heard online now, and is inspired by Epstein's Torso in Metal from the 'Rock Drill'.
Very cool.

Crook
I've had the wierdest flu in the planet.
It just sits inside of me and does bloody nothing. I slept for days and days and missed work and fun over the weekend and the bugger is still in me.
Last night I woke at 4. I decided to get worried about all the stuff I have to do. I decided to get worried about the wind. To worry about the drought. The dams. North Korea. The dishes. Work. And why I was not sleeping.
For a moment there I turned into my mother. See, it's very wierd this flu.
