small art objects

i wish i could draw, but it was clear to all from an early age that it was not to be. considering i was the last person in my class to be granted a pen licence, ambitions towards figurative representation were fairly low on the agenda. i also think my (to this day) ongoing inability to cut in a straight line was a dead give away. for various reasons my mum still has hung on the wall a Roman-esque profile i drew of her at the tender age of 7. this crayon laced masterpiece has her inexplicably clad in a rusty t-shirt and topped by a head that resembles nothing so much as a horizontal traffic cone with hair. she also, for reasons that continue to escape me, has three sets of teeth. above her head are the words 'my mum', spaced so that i ran out of room and had to do the 'u' and 'm' on an increasingly precipitous angle down the canvas (read: A4 paper). given that this remains the only artwork of mine still adorning the house, i can only presume that this was the apex of my artistic career.

hence the fact that i generally let other people be creative for me.



in the grand new tradition of feed the head comes treasure box, another casually beautiful slab of flash tomfoolery. whittle away a few minutes with low end surrealism.

also currently impressing is this stop motion wall animation by blu. he has another one entitled walking, which is similarly impressive, as is his general collection of street art
