My balaclava crisp man!

Tutorial with Richard;
The main part of my summer project was a book, which had pen and ink drawings of my facial features. I am to expand on this, by scaling them up on an OHP, using a paint brush instead of the pen, and maybe take them into the print room.
Then we went onto look at my brain, and the first thing that he said was that it reminded him of "Loose women", on ITV1 at lunch time on weekdays. I hate this show, but must admit that i do watch it now and again. So this led us onto thinking about T.V and soaps. Back to "Coronation Street", which i looked at and did work about in my first year.
Looking through my sketches for my "2 week project", he told me that the humour within my work was similar to that in Harry Hill, The Mighty Boosh and Sarah Lucas.
My drawing of the "balaclava crisp man" made him laugh, i didn't intend for it to be funny, but the more i looked at it, the funnier i found it too! It looks a little like Edvard Munch's "The Scream".

One of my obsessive collections.. tins!
I have been collecting on and off for about 4 years now, when i get bored of one i'll give it away or sell it, then the next time i get a sweep of the obsession, i regret getting rid of them!
This is an image ive just quickly found on google. But this is how i'd like my collection to look one day!
These are the sorts of tins which interest me most...
I love old typography, the colour pallets they used, i like how they age.

My balloon portrait photographs
I've only just uploaded these photos onto my laptop, which is why its taken so long to put them up on the blog.
I think that they resemble me quite well! I wanted one front on , and one in a cameo style.
When i'd finished photgraphing them, i did the research which is on this blog from July (i think), and i found the balloon which had been drawn on and then all of the air was let out, so the image shrinks. But when i tried to deflate both of mine, they poppped. So here are those photos.
New fave Tv show
I have been watching the Discovery Channel's 'Oddities' for a couple of weeks now, and find it absolutley fascinating.
Here is a photograph from the website, i would love to visit this shop, Manhattan's Obscura Antiques & Oddities.
There is some mind blowing stuff on this program!! Things you'd only ever find once in a lifetime. I personally am interested in collecting old tins and vases.

A very peculiar find
Whilst looking through different sites this morning, I saw an article about "World’s weirdest roadside attractions" and thought it would be intersting to read.
I liked John Buckley's 'Untitled 1986'.
This was the information given on the site.
A local radio presenter, Bill Heine, commissioned the sculptor John Buckley to create the fibreglass behemoth, which was craned into position on the 41st anniversary of the Nagasaki bombing. Despite the British weather and numerous bureaucratic objections, it has survived relatively unscathed since 1986.
This stood out to me the most out of all of the other examples because of the meaning behind the art. I have recently started to become more interested in History, so this piece reached out to me more than the others.
