Neil Gaiman 2012 Commencement Speech "Make Good Art"  

 

A humbling, heart warming, hilarious and highly inspiring talk from Neil Gaiman, to the University of the arts graduating class of 2012 Philadelphia.

 

If this video isn't one that makes you want to do something that you love, and feel like you CAN do something that you love, then I fear youre a lost cause. Right now, I appreciate this video GREATLY, and I feel anyone else who watches it, shall too.

Rungs in a Ladder: Jacob Bannon of Converge

 

As it is becoming clear, I spend the majority of my time, procrastinating and watching videos of creatives, that really humble me and make me realise not all artists are arseholes.

 

Here, Jacob Bannon, is a fine example of this. Here is a  mini-documentary, created by production team McFarland and Pecci, that is well worth a watch, whether you're a fan his musical work and artistic work, or not.

 

 So as I was recommended this to watch, I recommend you watch it too.

The progress photos of some of the original paintings that I created for the 'Morpholo Tile' brief set by uni. I went into this brief thinking it was going to be an easy and enjoyable brief, but after many attempts of trying to fit in my original drawings (as seen below) I slowly wanted to pull my hair out!

 

After finally getting into the swing of things, I began to truly enjoy the brief, and can say I am MORE than happy with some of the outcomes!

 

Theres also a consideration of painting a few of these up for postcards, as a few friends have asked. So please don't be afraid to ask for a postcard of my 'bum and boobs'!

Easter inspiration

'The feeling of, um, wanting to feel something that you cant feel.'

Frank Ocean interview w/ the BBC.

BBC Sound of 2012.

 

There is just something so humble, modest, and charming about Frank Ocean that I really like. This video is a nice example of that. Certainly worth a watch, and certainly in some way, shape or form, something I would class as a form of inspiration to me.

'Trying to do whatever it is I do, at a level of excellence, and that's really all I'm trying to do while I'm here.'

Frank Ocean GQ Magazines Man of the Year 2011.

Again, nothing but charming.

'They'd probably say I was bland and boring, but some people would say that was timeless, I dunno.'

Finals:

 

All I really have to say for these is, I am EXTREMLY happy with my final outcome. (note the use of capitals!)

 

All in a days work, ey!
