Desk Leftovers

Scraps floating round my desk on a rainy Sunday.

'Home Away From Home'

Someone that I've known for a pretty long time is moving house. I thought I'd make something to adorn a wall. 'Home Away From Home'

' I Don't Like The Cut Of Your Jib'

So these are a small selection of poems/writings I have transferred into images. They were loosely connected around the time of writing so form a small collection, along with the previous blog post.

'Blame Hollywood'

New writing. Little bit obsessed with teeth and mouths. Enjoy.

'I never bought her flowers'

Just some pieces from leftovers on my desk.

Back-Of-The-Packet Calculations 4

Exercises in exorcising prose

Back-of-the-packet calculations 2

Some further works on packets. Quite enjoying these at the minute. A way of using up writing that sometimes doesn't find a place in poems.

Back-Of-The-Packet Calculations

I don't think fag packet warnings are serious enough. Here are some alternatives. If you're gonna warn people for the benefit of their health then at least cover all angles.

Build Up

"Build Up". Some more writing I put to an image, I couldn't help but use the image of someone falling. It's pretty fitting.

When The World Was Steady

Reworked this poem I had knocking about for awhile. Found this kid and thought it suited the tone. Enjoy

Drun k

I saw that girl again.

I Was Only Being Me

Made an image from some words I wrote awhile back. The title is from a conversation I overheard my friend having and the starting point of the poem.

The Trouble With Lemon Curd...

Everytime I eat lemon curd, it's after I've burnt the toast. Just wondered whether lemon is the only way to cover up burnt toast or I genuinely enjoy it. I've done it for as long as I can remember. Anyways this used a lot of pens, coffee and a bit of my order pad at work.

"If It Doesn't Feel Like This, Then You're Not Doing It Right"

So on a rare Sunday where I wasn't hungover I was actually a bit creative again. It felt good to be getting back in the swing of things. I think my favourite one is the male/female triangle kiss collage. "If It Doesn't Feel Like This, Then You're Not Doing It Right".

"Be Cruel To Me, Because I'm A Fool For You"

So sometimes I write things. Sometimes I make things. I typed up some of my writig into a small envelope book I made. The title is an Alex Turner Lyric. The rest is mine. Slightly cliche, but you should cut and stick until your heart is fixed.

HEROES: Alex Turner

One of my works from the HEROES exhibition earlier in the year. Collage and Biro. all of my heroes are people I admire for being uncompromising in their attitudes to their lives as well as their art. Although many of their characteristics can polarize peoples opinions. Alex Turner however is just a fucking beautiful lyricist.

HEROES: Bill Hicks
