But in more interesting news i have now found a space, artist and booked a space for my exhibition but from my last blog i got one reply! screw that one reply is better then none so awesome but i have all my artist now so plan is go!


so in the week of 12-21st of July 2013 at the art complex in Edinburgh there will be the worlds most awesome work on show!

Calling all artistical types!

Actually you don't need to be an artist just have an interest in the subject the subject of art and be reliable kind of block really.


I have recently found a space in which i can show work but think it would be much more interesting if there was a group of different practitioners.
So if you live near Edinburgh or do not mind the traveling, can produce two/three peices and are not completely anti social loving colab art then this might just be for you.


Its really just a way;
to make connections
show art
have fun with art
create bonds learning other artist work.


At current the exhibition is called the eye patch project but its in the now final stages of work starting to be produced and planned even a subject change is on the cards right now.


But if indeed this is you and you are interested in working with a group of artists next september in Edinburgh in an organised setting which for now is a gallery then email me on anyone of these or contact me on one of the many social sites; though please add in a name, location and what ideas you would put forward for this exhibition.

but it is going to be awesome! you'll be sorry you did not email me!

what do your phobias say about you? mines say i'm psychotic..

I am currently looking into phobias, again, as part of my "doing it on my own cause i'm a great artist who don't need no education post breakdown" project.


I think phobias do a lot for a person, or even mold a person and going on this theory again! 


"The eyes are the window to the soul where phobias progress and develop."


so like any project i do i look into my own phobias which are mainly social because i'm awkward as well hell.


so


1.Anthropophobia - Fear of people or society.
2.Athazagoraphobia- Fear of being forgotton or ignored or forgetting.
3.Elurophobia- Fear of cats.
4.Gamophobia- Fear of marriage.
5.Lockiophobia- Fear of childbirth.
6.Obesophobia- Fear of gaining weight


The conclusion this comes to that i cant leave the house because i don't like people. noo, i do think it ill get that bad eventually and ill be a hermit for life.
But there is different levels of phobia and its always more detailed than just a name. I in fact don't dislike people but i am very fussy with people i pick my friends for a reason and they must be interesting but my anxieties play up when i have to deal with pregnant women and couples especially couples. My worse situation is being set up with somebody into a forced couples or when i have to socialize with 2 or more couples which are very forward with the way they feel. I generally don't get myself in these situations. Id freak out to the maxx.


there is no proper name for this but after intensive research they put it under "social phobia" its also very common.


I think this has great effect on me as a person.


But how does this relate to my idea?
well if this all manifests in the mind it has to be seen of experience to effect the indavidual in a great way so by covering the eyes it takes away the middle man and would stop the being experiencing what they really don't want to see.


This is a working theory so is not near concept stage just yet!

back to work!

it took 4 hours but i have all my work photographed and currently babysitting watching the apprentice i should probably start to post it online! so here is the start of my work!

these are a set of what should be nine prints but one was sold but there based the patterns you see in vintage clothing they don't really have a meaning as they were done just for a side project i  think there was a few bird project that have went on.
