A Strong Sense of Nothing

Soft light

Soft sheet

Body heat

The air is still, silent resistance.

Sharp song sung,

      Lost in the heavy drifting clouds above,

Heavy eyes, resigned tongue.

A car stirs

and dies

A brave bird hides.

Inspired by the rhythm of bird song and nature. About the feeling of growing tension and atmospheric pressure created by absence of all things.

Today again I just hung out and drew and wrote and lazed about on tumblr. I had this empty frame, and because I have no friends, hence no picture of me plus friends, I had no pictures to put in it so I made this. Very Damien Hirst I suppose:

The paper behind it looks awful in this photograph for some reason...
I AM GOING INSANE WITH NOTHING TO DO. Something tomorrow!!!! PLEASE!

Until then I leave you!

And follow my dailybooth.

When All is Gone

We stand like soldiers

In the fleeting mist of war

Through sun-shocked eyes

The pathways blend, a single plain.

Nothingness a vivid vacuum

Slipping upwards, outwards

When all is gone?

This is a poem I wrote today, about the feeling I felt yesterday when I finished all of my exams for this year. Everything fleeting or being sucked away like a vacuum and not really knowing what to do.
So today I am just hanging around in some sweats and a this black tshirt that I cut the neck out of, but it's really stretched and keeps slipping over my shoulder, all seductively!!! So this weekend will hopefully be good, friday - pool party, saturday - music festival, sunday - just hanging with some alcoholic beverage! Maybe photos, but I'm not really in to taking photos when I am out it's really boring!!

Chemistry exam tomorrow!

and instead of revising I choose to fill my journal with biro sketches of chopped up torsos. Today I have been desperately tyring to stay focused, but every time I look down at my revision guid something, anything, reminds me of something else and I completely drift off... or I have a coffee break... or I go on youtube... or I play some Joy Division. Looking through my Dad's record collection it is actually surprising how decent the music is- I have some Stones, The Cure, Grance Jones etc. to keep me going for a while. I feel like if I save up some money I might go to the record shop or to garage sales to start my own collection.

Beach with Lucy

Me and Lucy went to the beach today. It is the first day I have met up with anyone in two weeks and it was lovely really. I probably pissed her off because I took my journal to show her a dress I designed around her and we were supposed to do some chem revision (I know) and I kept drawing her. This was originally supposed to be a shaded drawing of her but turned in to an abstract caricature because it totally went wrong but I think it's quite cool as it is. Writing this the day after I can tell you that I have sun burn and it is so horrid. I am never stepping out side of the house again with out coating myself in sun cream basically.
I wore an unbuttoned green stripe shirt from H&M and some new short shorts from Jack Wills which I don't think I will ever take off. Lucy is wearing her one piece (it joins up at the front) but I can't remember where she said it was from.

Sophie

This is a photograph I took of my friend Sophie, who I am going to London with for a week in summer. So excited!!

Morning

These were originally for a project called invasion of privacy, but I am shit at following through with things like that!

Exeter

These are from the first roll of film I ever developed and printed myself, I still think they are quite good, especially for first attempts.
