Back to the Future...

Okay it's highly likely that I have catted this title from one of Quincey's previous posts about the back to the future board that was auctioning for crazy arse but understandable prices.

However this post is on an entirely different futuristic topic, the Tate opened their futurism exhibition last month and I must say it's one of my favourites, so check it out it's open till october.

The raw canvas youth programme that runs at the Tate are also putting on a summer course on futurism on the 5th and 6th August so if you want to engage with the pieces in a more dynamic way then looking like some poncey art git just standing in front of the piece because someone in the room will think you look very clever (something i do) then pop along for that.

Useful tool for Creative Plain Janes...

Here we present the Brainstormer:




A genius invention, unlike other generic forms of brainstorming this method is all carefully pre-selected words put on a wheel. Where you have an option to come up with a random selection such as:

Unconditional love, Alien, roller coaster

Or you can pick and choose what words you want to string together, which will enable you to create a very abstract/constructed visual piece or help you with a play on wording and stories...

This was formulated and designed by an artist called Andrew Bosley

My mum said I'm too wild and what I really need in my life is...

A little bit of Islam or Christianity.

She wasn't feeling too picky about which, she may even have thought of it in some sort of a pick n mix way, just to allow for some diversity perhaps.

I laughed and then my friend truce sent me a link to this, 'igod', its a site where you can talk to god.

Conversations With The One Above

was somebody up there trying to tell me something, I thought I would give it a shot, the conversation went a little bit like this,

Me: hey god whats good?
God: You've got my full attention. I am a Christian.
Me: so not muslim?????? my mum's been asking.
God: Really you don't think so?
Me: ummmm thats not what I'm saying. I'm asking a question Are you listening?/
God:Hello there. I am a Christian.
Me: hmmmmm i think you already said that
God:Awesome. Me? Perhaps. " I am a Christian."? I said it.
Me: yeah you did god, but thats not what I asked you
God:That's interesting. Did I really?
Me: yeah god
God:Woe! GOD rules.
Me: uhhhhhh
God:What is your real name?
Me: wouldn't you know that already
God:Perhaps. " What is your real name?"? Do I know it?
Me: ohhh my gosh you so knew I was going to say that before I said it didn't you
God:When was this exactly?
Me: God I'm scared we're having a slight communication problem
God:I am a Christian.
Me: okay do you know what god, I think I'm going to have to go
God:Yeah okay, What.
Me: well this explains a lot about why I prayed to live in Miami and still live in england
God:Well that's okay. What does "this" refer to?
Me: bye god
God:
See you later.

You completely baffled?... Well so was I
