Oh wow... i was just looking at a few websites of amazing artists who are now living legends from the 70's... and they are utterly HIDEOUS THINGS!
SOMEONE! SHOW them the amazing techniques of website design before they burn millions of their fans and curious net-surfers eyes out! I mean, just look at the websites of
Earth Wind and Fire [link]
The Village People [link] (They have officially burned out my eyes with bad Photoshoppery...)
Alright i'll give Kool and the Gang credit for taking care of the design of their website
[link] but still... it takes ages to load!
[link] James Browns page is good, i'll give him that. Reminds me of how much i like banana's.
Not ALL of them are bad... if you're looking at the genre of funk. But still.. some of the greatest bands DO NOT HAVE GOOD WEBSITES! It's shocking... unbelivably shocking. You'd think by now they got the jist of the internet and maybe that they had fans in this generation who'd want to stand the sight of their website for more than five seconds.
You know... just to read up on them... look at pictures. Not have a seizure.

But sure, they mightn't care about the internet. After all, it's all about the music.
Love,
Kris- outttt.....zzzzzz

It's really sad how... when you really feel you need to do something. Like you really want to do this thing. And then something else- some other job- gets in your way. You try to ignore it to pursue what you want to do and then another job piles on top of the next. And then the other. Then you're so overwhelmed with all of these things that you lost focus on what you wanted to do and all you remember is how satisfied you would be if you were doing it.
Take my case for example. I reaaaally reallly want to draw something... I want to do some beautiful piece of art that i know i would fully enjoy doing. But there's all this bloody coursework due in and it's just really killing my brain. I've missed painting and drawing something so much that it's really put a strain on me and i've just become reserved and just plain old grumpy. I hate all this coursework... i really do.
It's especially annoying when you know exactly what you want to do career wise but then theres all this pointless work that will just end up being a grade for things you wont need in life. For example, i take textiles, media and art, yeah? We've literally finished our coursework for textiles and its just onto revision and past papers. I DON'T NEED THIS (Sorry if i sound emo. But i'm very passionate about what i want to be. Having to do something that wont really effect my career annoys me slightly.) And then theres media which i've grown to love to despise JUST A LITTLE because there's so much work to do for the coursework. ART is the one thing i really want to focus on but i can't because all the teachers have made us give the work in in the last week of the bloody year.

I just want to draw something brilliant.. i haven't done so for months. I haven't had the time or the patience or anything. Agh.

God i hate slow computers.
Jesus i only want to open like... well it's definitely over 20 photos that i've dragged from my camera card window to my Photoshop screen. But still, it really shouldn't be taking this long. Grrrr i just want to sleeeeep but i've recently discovered that the upload photos function now works again on Facebook. Yaaay. This means cropping and touching up photo's of the ball i went to last night. It was a rugby club ball that had beer, a crazy under 18's boys team and a just as crazy team of girls. And the rest of the DEA Tigers. It was really fun with a live band and all.. and i danced soo much hahaha :3

Struan managed to hit a few moves on the dancefloor in his kilt. Which was the highlight of the evening:3 For me at least. Well, and his guys team who all managed to sneak up on him to take a peak under the kilt. He wore shorts, don't worry.
Seriously. First i was talking about coursework. And now i'm talking about my crazy night. And i don't even drink.

Oh yeah, buy Brainstorm-The Arctics new CD!
Surprisingly, this is the first of their original albums i have actually BOUGHT for myself...

Ahhh Textiles. I managed to really tire myself out finishing my practical work.. which was making a laptop bag. It was a little silly to ignore the warnings of my teachers when they said it would be a bastard to make. Urghhhh. I'm not totally satisfied with the result either. Overall i should say i've spent about a month making it.. but that spread out over 6 months. And i'm a slacker. So being one i waited until the last minute to stop and think 'hey... i should really finish it you know.. considering i have to hand it in tomorrow." Yes. Tomorrow. And i haven't even finished the coursework itself. Bloody production flowchart. I can't believe how hard it is to remember the stages of how i made the bag. Actually... well.. making the bag was just easygoing stuff first off. But when it comes to describing how i did it.. shit. I really am a slacker lol.
Anyway onto the bag. I'll be putting up some good pictures soon. I've made this laptop bag really for myself but i had to at least pretend i was making it for someone you know.. just to look somewhat like a good student. It would also store a graphics tablet. The finished product can now fit a 14 inch wide by fuck knows how much the other way. Down i mean. (Sorry. But my brain is really dead. I would sleep, but i needed to rant and chill a bit.) Urhhhh i screen printed what was intentionally going to be a very nice outline of a tree. It was a photo before- edited on photoshop blah blah blah Textiles department should be paying for the cost of the 350 dollar screen itself blah blah And the screen was actually quite shit in the end cause it didn't turn out nice at all. The screen print it on the flap of the bag in white and the entire bag is a dark brown with blue waterproof lining inside. The compartments for the laptop and graphics tablet are padded with some sort of foam thing which is really cool and squishy. Uhhhh there's tubing around the flap, cool pockets and the body of the bag which makes it look cooler. Under the flap before you can get to the laptop there's a fiddly zip which i totally fucked up. Oh and the sides of the bag are fucked up too Who knew that such soft fabric would end up having to be sewn on a high tech industrial machine. Not like i had one. So i painfully hand sewed the layers of fabric. And i stabbed my fingers about a gazillion times during the making of this bloody bag.
Pics coming soon, remember. Watch out for them. Even though i've started to really hate textiles now and want to tear apart the bag, i guess it's okay. Lots of effort was put into it. And it's what's caused me not to draw anything for so damn long. I'm seriously having withdrawal. GARGHHH Just consider this bag to be a piece of art, kay?

Love, Kris.

Why the fuck did i just talk about schoolwork...?

Megghh need to renew soon. Anyone want to buy me one or chip in??
