The Ring - 'Dead in Seven Days' photo frenzy...

'The Ring' is a Japanese horror film about a mysterious VHS tape XD

Watching this bizarro medley of video clips results in a spooky phone call; the voice on the other end telling you that you will die in seven days....
Nobody believes in such wacky notions in the first instance, but signs of their impending doom soon start to appear...
One of these eerie occurrences is the blurring of faces in previously sound photos...

These previously normal-non-blurred photos mysteriously distorted after my friends and I watched Teletubbies...
aaaaaaaaarrrrgh!










NIckolini's First day of school...

Attempting a diorama shot; standing on the couch...



















the foreshortening makes little Nicki even littler, like a little doll :P

Jersey Air Display

Its been years since I watched the air display, I'm usually working or not fussed but now I got a new camera I thought I'd get all touristy and snap away. The first picture I love! You couldn't plan that kinda shot! :P

Things Found at Jersey Live 2010 Part 2

Part 2 because I found some more stuff and because I have a new camera! :D
I prefer the first pictures but I was going a bit nuts on the whole art filter thingys...

Jersey Live band, two bra straps (brand new found in a sealed packet), a key, a pearl (there was lots of pearls...
The stage plan for Paul Weller, a green feather, some glow sticks, a flower head band and an elastic band...
Thank you for not smoking. It's the law!
Jersey Live in sepia, its like western festival time!
More on my Flickr.

Finally bought my new camera!

I got my new camera today! It's soo beautiful...
I couldn't really find anything to take pictures of so I poured my 'box of special things' out and took these on different art filter settings...
Sepia...
Diorama
Pin Hole
Old Film Grain
Pop Art
I got some more here.
This is the start of a snap happy relationship with me and my first decent camera :D

P.S. if you don't know what to get me for my birthday ask me what accessories I need :P

Things Found at Jersey Live 2010

'Things Found at Jersey Live' started out pretty awesome this year but due to rain on monday (the day that I collected everything last year and the time that you find the best stuff) and me losing half the stuff before I got to take any pictures; it turned out pretty rubbish so I had to try capture some small significant pieces instead of taking a picture of everything because the layout was pretty naff without all the big things I collected...
Here are some of the pictures, the rest can be found on my flickr:

Horse charm, tea pot charm, chains and beads, huge hoop earring, saturday under 18's JL band, money...

A ton of bits of sunglasses.... spot the white Oakley's...

Rosary beads, and some more money...
So that's it... Jersey Live has come and gone once again, my headache is subsiding and the world is coming back into the norm...
Until next year...

I survived Jersey Live!


...well barely! I have a cold and a stomach upset…


To begin (for random memories sake) I want to share some of my favourite encounters at Jersey Live, as I face paint at the event and meet some very bizarre people; some of whom are well worth mentioning.


So here goes:


Best question asked….

'Where does the money go?'


The conversation:

Blonde: 'Are you bored?'

Moi: 'no' (What I should have said was 'I may look bored but I have been sitting here for 8 hours and this is my second day and I'm fed up of talking to drunk people'…but I didn't)

(and so it continued…)

Blonde: 'You don't like your job do you?'

Moi: 'yeah I wouldn't be doing it otherwise'

BLonde: 'What charity do you work for?'

Moi: 'I don't'

BLOnde: (thinking)…………………… 'so where does the money go?'


ha ha ha ha ha ha gag haha

Moi: 'this is my job, the money goes to me'

anyway she was really bummed out by this and had some kinda strop on for the rest of the painting


Best complement…

'You must be the only teenager who doesn't like Chase and Status'


(For those of you who don't know, I'll be 27 in two weeks :P)


Best line-that-was-supposed-to-sting….

'Karma will come back at you, and you will die…'


(little bit harsh coming from some drunk girl who I wouldn't let pee behind our tent (which was also our personal space where we would be camping)… didn't upset me though, I thought it was hilarious)

Best cider moment….

Watching Biffy Clyro on my own


(On saturday I finished early to go see Biffy Clyro play but my sis had abandoned me so I had to go watch it on my own, which for me is pretty brave :P I win!)


Eeriest moment…

Rosie finding a camera and then the owner 24 hours later…


(A whole day after Rosie found a really expensive camera she bumped into the owner who she recognised from the pictures and gave it back to her…)


Best attention seeking moment…

Going to St Johns Ambulance


(I cut three of my fingers and one wouldn't stop bleeding, it didn't hurt but I needed a plaster. I had three people take care of me, an A3 form filled out with my details and a huge plaster :D

I should damage myself more often at JL :P)


I can't remember the others but they will come to me and I will add them…

Just another Wednesday for Celine...

Inspired by a bizarro wednesday conundrum, followed by a hilarious text rant about the-kind-of-men who are pining over lil sis, I give you 'Celine's Wednesday Tea Party' aka 'The Uninvited Guests'

Note: A picture that I admire from: Edward Gorey's 'The Doubtful Guest'

Leon's request

Three builders singing karaoke standing on a girder...




Coffee break tedium






The Night Michael Jackson Died

I found this photo on an old SD card, this is me and Celine at about 4am (quite drunk) on the day/night Michael Jackson Died.

Here I'm checking my mail for google answers on whether he was actually dead..

My birthday present.. to me

When you want for nothing, and your birthday is oh so soon, don't you just want to buy something you can't afford and start up a really expensive new hobby?
This beautiful camera will be mine!

Chinese Man

I have slightly asian looking eyes.
Zeb told Matt that I collected pictures of old chinese men and showed him this...

A baby photo of me stuck to a plate.

Caitlyn's Crocodile drawing, aged 2.5


When Caitlyn handed me the drawing I said how amazing it was and that I was going to put it on my blog.
So Caitlyn took it back and said 'no it's going on my blog!' ..and stuck it to the fridge XD

(So I had to steal it...)

Lennon Wall

Me at the Lennon Wall in Prague last year...

5am

5am this morning and I'm awake... There's this enormous bang come from outside and I look through the crack of the curtains and... a nuclear bomb has hit the waterfront area!!... OMFGG! I start twitching and hyperventilating uncontrollably.... It's the end of the world!...
It turned out to be a very bright lamp post... It was 5am and I was very tired, but I guess now I know how I'd react faced with a nuclear explosion...

Art CLub project...

If I could be anything for a day what would it be?
Apparently I didn't understand the question as I suffer from bathophobia and I don't particularly like puffer fish but I made this video.

Turn me into a puffer fish... pow pow!


FPI cards for all your FPI needs...

A face and body painting business that is awesome!


Things found at Jersey Live 2009

Random crap found at the Jersey Live grounds after the event.
One idea was to print some of the pictures real huge and hang them at the back of the tent in 2010 and get people to spot their belongings and write all over it but we didn't, it was a fun idea though :D

tiger balm, bubbles, condom, flyer, birthday badge...

old ladies hat, broken bangle, checkered chav top, half a frame...

JL badges, gaviscon pens, glow stick connectors...

belt buckle, money, tea bag, blue feather...

cup, headphones, hospitality tent poster, beads,103 tattoos...
and much much more o-the-crap :D

40p Notebook

I got this awesome notebook from a charity shop today for a whole 40p!

This book is full of very very very useful quotes for women... not really:
'The universe is made of stories, not atoms.'-Muriel Rukeyser...

Cracks me up! Thats just stupid... Why would somebody write this??




Random drawings to plug the holes.

Red Panda...

Pandas...

My lounge with a zeb in it...

Zeb as a Tim Burton character...
