Crisps with funny names

Morgan and I have become quite impressed with the crisps' flavors here.

I am in the process of taking more photos, but here are three so far I have managed to snap.

If the bag says what it tastes like, by God, it will taste like it! I don't know how they pack that kind of flavor into a potato chip!

It's close to a home cooked meal into a bag. I've eaten more crisps here than ever in my life by the way.

Enjoy!

More clay & whatnot

i made a mask, a lady with big legs, a messed up painting, an african lady's profile and a sheep.

The wood cut and lino cuts have been printed and look pretty darn good but they weren't dry on Friday so I will update those next time!

Holler!

More Stuff

A foggy day in the studio - my latest screen - my two wood burned sheep!

My latest ceramic guys

a two headed boy, sorta became a two headed native american.

i added too much woodstain, but since then have sanded it into a nice texture.

either way i'm digging up on it.

Newcastle

all i took.

a funny poster in a charity shop, a small ride for kids, TEA, out the window of the scrumpy willow and the sign on the bathroom door (why?) :)

Morpeth!

Although a small town, Morpeth is a fabulous place to walk in the woods, walk the cold North Sea, walk dogs, see Herons bathing, watch Blockbuster movies, dance to Halloween music and have great home cooked meals! Stephen's mom and brother were splendid and so very sweet. I felt like I was part of the family.

I didn't take too many photos. I was living the moment. We also went to Newcastle for the day, a bigger city outside of Morpeth. We went to a delicious place for lunch called "Scrumpy Willow and the singing kettle" along with a few vintage shops and record stores. Also a store with old posters and cool postcards and there was a protest as well. Still not sure what it was about but I thought I might get my arm shot off. It was awesome!!!

Here's some of the minimal footage!

Updates Galore!

So a lot has gone on the last three weeks. I took a trip to Morpeth / Newcastle / Glasgow with my friend Stephen, I went to see fireworks at Lochee Park in Dundee for Guy Fawkes Day, I went to the Neon II Digital Arts Festival, I got sick, I had my first porkchop in Scotland and I printed my first wood and lino cuts!

That's just a few of the highlights.

It's Sunday and the chill of the approaching winter in Dundee has caused me to fall ill. I thought I was over it yesterday but walking up to the Dundee Law at night froze my throat again.

I will be resting today and eating BLT's. <-- Another Dundee first!

I can't stop listening to She & Him and I wish I had more time here. I love Dundee. My advisor told me my work is becoming more sophisticated, I am on a roll. If I can come back for graduate school or something, I might just do it. I already miss my friends i've made here. Time just flies by! So whoever is reading, take my advice! You only live once - try to be happy and enjoy your time! Magic is in the air and if you let it in, you'll experience sparkling willows hugging your shoulders and birds singing by the trains!

Enjoy the next few posts.
