I learned today that my car has to be scrapped, following my altercation with black ice over Christmas. Must buy a new one. I reckon I’ll either have to get a banger for the time being, or, if funds are relatively stable, a Nissan Figaro. I know they’re pretty common now, but I’ve wanted one for 8 years so…

However, if all else fails, I’ll get this moped. Yes it looks like a dodgem car, but I kind of need it.

I apologise for the long holiday from the blog, had a car crash, so spent a while relaaaxing, and have been making up for the relaxing over the last few days. Hangovers aside, it’s back to business, with a whole load of new post ideas for the New Year, as well as keeping the old ones ticking over too. Hopefully…

To start with, I must have this camper-bike design bu Kevin Cyr. Must have it. Not quite sure what I’d do with it, cycle into town and kip in it after a night out? Bring it to New York and live in it? Just look at it every day and tell it; ‘you’re cool and I own you..’?

Found this >here<…words to live by….wish I’d found it around three years ago. My friend is a stylist, she decided a while back to just stop working for free. Since then she always gets paid.

It seems simple, though a lot of you will know how difficult it is to quantify your work..working for free is fine if there is some kind of appropriate reward or recompense - such as prints for time, or invaluable experience etc, it’s a barter, or a favour for a friend you’ve known well for at least two years. After that, if you charge nothing, or charge cheap, I think you kind of set your worth.

That’s the frame of thinking I’m trying anyway, after years of not believing that I should get paid because, well… I loved doing the work so much! But unfortunately, love of work does not the rent pay….

I was browsing through some blogs on my break, and this image just made me say oooh! I don’t know what kind of flowers they are, so if you do, please share!

If I ever got off my sorry scared ass and started making huge word filled canvases (canvii?) they would be along these lines…. they would also be as large as the image below from photographer Jean Pierre Lemoine, via Desire to Inspire.
