ALMOST A YEAR OF DUSTLASH!

ALMOST A YEAR OF DUSTLASH by spike

AUGUST 2010

HELLO ! i cant believe its been almost a whole year since i last blogged in. So much has happened since then ! I dont know if i can remember everything but ill try and cast my brain back to august last year and report back...

After working in Edinburgh last summer as work experience, where i created variouse animations, one of which was for the NHS ! and another for Road Safety in Schotland, which was very exciting, I traveled down by train to The Big Chill, which is a music festival ive attended for the last 6 years or so. I did an awsome graffiti course at the festival and made my own tshirt and did a bit of stenciling which was so fun! Thus started my craze for making my own tshirts, and cutting my clothes up to make weird inventions, such as the letters LOVE which i gave to my mum on mothers day made out of my old pair of red skinny jeans... Ive also become a little obsesed with my fashion, i came up with my own style, in a sense, so i am a neo-plasticist punk, its a pretty fun style as well. It uses Mondrians bold abstract feel with an essence of japanese style and the complete punk fashion. Im currently gathering all items up on Polyvore to exhibit the kind of things i wear and maybe set a revelution going, but we will see, here are the first two collections for the style, its fun as well because with these two collections you can slide through and match up the clothes!

I went back to school in september, and came straight into my A levels. Im doing a physics, biology and art a level, as well as an extra as level in music and an a level equivalent in IT. In which i have to complete a whole list of things and dabble my brain in databases which mindfux me but shouldnt be to bad, i also have to do something that will help the comunity, so ive become involved in the school website and i am now doing the site design which is fab !

I have finally fixed my laptop! which had been broken for various months, Ive lost most of my applications including photoshop which im really annoyed about, and so i think ill take this opportunity to completely update my mac. Thankfully my dad did some clever things by using the laptop as a hard drive and saved all my things otherwise i really would be lost by now!

Ive also done some work for a guy called Duncan Roe! not much but it was really fun, i made some little sketches for his website, and they were all movie related as he is a film producer, and he writes scripts and shoots all kinds of epic things like short movies and music videos!

I have been very productive in all manors of things, my a level revision is one, but ive also been writing a lot of songs, and ive even posted a load on youtube! 

I havnt recorded these yet as the lyrics are unfinished as of yet, but heres a little preview:

You are like a drug to me, and i cant breath
i have no idea what this mess of a life mine is at the core
i think i love you, but im to confused to be sure
i dont even know who i am, anymore
and this is the way i feel, when i think about you
theres nothing, and yet the whole universe within my soul

However! Above all ive been sorting my website out, i havnt got a proper domain name yet but its still mine! You can find a whole manor of things on there to! Including my music, graphics, animations, sketches, photography and more ! Its not completely finished yet, but should be within the week! Im so excited ! ive been coding the whole site myself, with a little help from my IT teacher who helped organise my coding and my friends and family who have advised me on the look and layout, especially Ilon and Beth, thank you ^ - ^ x

Well its about 1 in the morning again, i dont know where the time goes ! So i must bid you adjure and be off to bed, ill just link you to my site ...
