is tonight, and i have the longest set of the night! *makes rude faces to all the other djs even tho they’re better than me*

i painted a trickartt logo on my new hospital boxbag for the night

and while i was at it, painted a purple dude tshirt.

a couple weeks later, i painted a porkchop feet tshirt, to wear to hospitality tonight.

other new work includes labels for m*a*s*h, hospital’s sister label!

and although i don’t have much to show for it, i’m still very busy! hopefully all will calm down next week when hospitality is done! oh and my vespa is booked in for repair next week, insurance finally coughed up!

crash!

and where i got knocked off, my powerbook got dented too.

a strange chewbacca floating around my cieling.

mum brought home a kitten, we’re calling him maurice!

got a new record boxbag from hospital, here is my niece modelling it. sorta.

otherwise i’m still damn busy!

been busybusybusy of late! so here are some pictures and brief explanations of what’s going on in them…

new splash page! chris goss is the influence here! all part of operation: faze out the flash page…

space lizards! hooray for making my own labels for cyantific promos!

NEW DOA LOOK!! yes, it’s caused some controversy just cos it’s chage, even tho it’s not much fo a change at all, but i did it, and i’m still proud of it!

the jeans i posted about before also fell victim to the washing machine – it’s cos i did a white base coat. they don’t look bad like this tho!

new canvas! not totally finished. currently just marker on unprimed canvas, hence the fuzzy look. i’d like to go over it in a really glossy black, but it’s about finding the appropriate medium. inspired by evan hecox, based around another one of napalm’s photos!

this dude was on jools holland last night while i was channel hopping, bashign away at the drums. the band was awful but his hair is some of the most incredible i’ve ever seen!

also happening is i’ve cut this page in half, to save on loading times, considering this is supposed to eb the main page now. i better go to sleeeep now!

so after the washing machine owning me and my cheesetee, i went out to find some sort of medium to stop the destruction, i managed to find exactly what i was after; system3 textile medium, so i can carry on with my experiments. and this time i attacked my beloved carhartt jeans. and here be thy results

and they’re looking pimp. that’s pretty much all there is to report at the moment.

Despite the fact that this morning i used a different shampoo, namely ‘frizz ease daily smooth’ and used the matching conditioner, my hair is ticker and woolier than it ever has been.

still, the overall texture is nicer than tresemme.

i should make some office stationary with that on the header, 1980s executive style..

anyhoo, been a while since the last update, been a bit busy / preoccupied. the title of this comes because both the things i’m posting here loosely revolve around my desk

firstly, i got a new screen, so i’m running the dualscreen business. done a new background, which i’m illustrating here with this photo as well as showing off my new second screen (i’m having a real hard time keeping attention to what i’m typing here, mind is going a mile a minuite). ah that’s right, gone for a totally different style with teh wallpaper this month, might get bored and do a nice girl tho. we’ll see. you can download it from the page you get from clicking ‘wallpapers’ in the header to my blog here.

next on the desk thing is a mighty drawing i did of my desk, simple vector style, illustrating the mess. this was pre-dualscreen tho. click it for a biiiig version.

i really can’t remember what else i was gonna write about so i may as well finish this here.

iClean
the silly thing is i need some, but i’m not gonna pay £18 for some screen cleaning fluid just cos it has an i in front of it.

add it to the list with the ipod socks

and podGourmet: Vegan Edition

i love my mac, but i don’t wonder why people think they suck, given the cult-like behaviours of their user base.

another exciting post in my weblog!

yes, i am posting from my kitchen, yes it does make me feel like a yuppie. my easter weekend sure is exciting, huh?

well i’m really just sticking an entry in to say i updated my portfolio this afternoon, there’s now 13 more things to click on on there. thought while i was at it i may as well stick an entry in here. this page is getting longer, but it will change fairly soon. i’m doing a skills trade with ben-xo, so he’s fixing me up with a proper blog at some point.

to use this entry to my advantage, i may as well spam you about this:

another tshirt that i designed is now for sale, but again it’s not one for the sake of being a trickartt tshirt, it was one of (well, part of) the logo for DOA’s Under Construction Sisterlabel. big up to sacha tho, for taking the initiative to put this on a tshirt! funny how my non-serious design became popular…

anyhoo, i digress. buy it HERE!

oh and i’ve pretty much decided i’m gonna stop the hotdog thing, i sent literally hundreds out, and didn’t even get half a dozen phots back. thansk for putting up your half of the bargain, guys. *grumble*.

lastly, take note of the big link to the grooveboard on the right here… that’s for all you chumps that say you can never find it! 😉

mmm a great night. i have some thoughts i want to make note of first tho

• I need to research Roy Ayers – Chris was playing osmethign exceedingly funky by him, and apparently (i think that’s what fabio said anyway) butterfly by marky and xrs has a sample from him in there.
• The gents at NHS are top people. nice to meet everyone!
• I still need earplugs
• I should solo mission clubs more often – it’s kinda pointless going with people if you can’t hear them talking to you anyway
• There’s still not much cooler than a club full of people going off to ‘lovesick’ by High Contrast

Edit: I’m now back up again and i feel fantastic! just so you know! the sun’s shining, i feel good, had a wicked night last night! yeah!
