Any Day But Thursday

The post's title is a lyric from Morrissey's new ish cover of Satellite of Love, originally by Lou Reed. Being Morrissey, he obviously had to change the lyrics slightly to suit himself, transforming 'I watched it on TV' to 'I cannot stand the TV'.. Oh Moz.

A recent Rookie article I read is very relevant to this post and it encouraged me to carry on making things after I had a major stall/freakout/stress, when I realised I should be devoting every second of my break to cramming more biology definitions into my brain for my exams. But you need to rest between revising, or your head might just explode or something, so the article made me re-realise that, and slow down. Basically, if you're vaguely interested in creating things or you criticise the arts as an "easy subject", maybe have a read of this, because it's a good article and could give you a better perspective.

This holiday, I've filled a whole moleskine with drawings and random stuff like my scans below, because revision has been so ghastly and I finished like all of the tv series I was chain-watching. (asdfg Sherlock) -This is probably a good thing, because I watched too much tv anyway. Also making art is the perfect way to calm down and forget my oncoming exams. I love it when people share their visual diaries on the internet because I can compare with mine and get inspiration and it's just nice to see other people's work so here's some of mine..

FLOAT FOREVER

Thought I'd share some of my doodles and collages that are supposed to be inspiring me for my art project in school that I've just started.. no luck so far on that front.

Anyway recently I've been listening to Swim Deep and Peace because they're really summery bands and I can't wait for summer. I really really reaaally want to go to Latitude 2013, because last year I went with some people and it was amazing, but this year Swim Deep and altJ will be there (not to mention a ton of other great bands) so I've got to go.

My favourite Peace songs at the moment are Float Forever and California Daze (although I have to admit they both sound so similar, I dont even know how the band got away with it) and Honey by Swim Deep is perfect. The music video for Honey is also so cute, and the girl in it is beaautiful, and she gets to dance around and spray paint at the band, so I'm super jealous of her.

 

SWIM DEEP : seriously, look how cool they are, I'd happily get any of these pictures on a tshirt..and look at all that hair. 

 PEACE: I'm seeing a hair trend here..

I went for a walk up Camden canal with my dog and picked flowers and did art homework and collages because #nosociallife but it was sunny and cute:
