People Are Strange

THE WASTE LAND BY T S ELIOT What are the roots that clutch, what branches grow Out of this stony rubbish? Son of man, You cannot say, or guess, for you know only A heap of broken images // Mad Matisse Garms I will be selling all the bags worn below and more commissioned designs for £8 + postage from bigcartel asap but ONLY IF YOU WANT TO ACTUALLY BUY ONE (because it's all pointless if no one is gna utilise my shop)  Perfect for xmas gifts/school/weekend fun !!! SO PLEASE EMAIL/COMMENT IF YOU WOULD BE INTERESTED??  I'm going to be embroidering tshirts on request too just send me a message georgie.wilsonn@gmail.com here are some photos show-casing the vague examples of the bags, integrated with fun Matisse-cut-outs and sum gr8 quotes by gr8 artists.. "With colour one obtains an energy that seems to stem from witchcraft." -Matisse "My curves are not crazy" - Matisse Here, I'm wearing a new one-of-a-kind shirt I bought in Golbourne Rd Market~ it's from a tailor's shop in Thailand that the stall owner bought when it was displayed for stitching examples to customers. It shows all the girls-schools' crests in the area it was bought from and it's super cute ~~ "I wouldn't mind turning into a vermilion goldfish" -Matisse "Drawing makes you see things clearer, and clearer and clearer still, until your eyes ache." - Hockney Matisse blue nudes The other day I saw Peace and Bombay Bicycle Club live at Earl's Court London and as expected Peace were so so great. It was the 6th time I have seen them, and I never regret it~~ this time, Harrison Koisser sauntered onstage wearing a poncho: it was the most heavenly thing. It reminded me of Vince Noire in The Mighty Boosh, who claims "you can never be unhappy in a poncho" because Harrison's joy was radiating in glorious waves. They played Gen Strange, the new song from their forthcoming album which was dreamy to hear for the first time live, and everyone screamed "How do you do it?" right back at Harrison~~ Sam Koisser had traded his ordinary black skinny jeans for glittery trousers, as dark as his silky black hair. For the first time ever he had surprisingly found some sort of new MAGICAL stage presence asl well, and it was beautiful. Opening with the classic Lovesick and finishing their supporting set with World Pleasure: And as the resounding base line began to fade out and Doug's bopping head movements subsided, a boy standing next to me (whose face was covered in Peace stickers) and the rest of the crowd cried out for more.                                                     I had a very emotional time in the Tate Britain yesterday when I went to see the Turner Prize exhibition of up-and-coming modern artists. I have nothing against "post-modern" art and some of the artists were v talented and cool but WHERE WERE THE PAINTINGS AND THE SOUL ART it was all fkn film art which didn't 100% constitute as art. It was super disappointing but then I came out feeling all moody and walked straight into the Hockney/Freud/Moore room and it was like finding a lake after 100days in the desert. It was beautiful and I was so haPPY to see Lucian Freud's Girl With Kitten and Hockney's A Bigger Splash like they were my old friends and all my faith in British art was 100% restored.. GOODBYE // MERRY CHRISTMAS X X X

Same As It Ever Was

A series of strange dreams last night:

* Dream 1 *
I was in an artist studio, sitting at a chair with an easel in front of me. In the middle of the circle of empty chairs was a raised stool. Morrissey was sitting on it, weeping and in between sobs he was quoting his own song lyrics from How Soon Is Now and First Of The Gang to Die. I drew him with pink pencils.

* Dream 2 *
I was walking along a pier that jutted out into a small lake, and there were lots of boats tied up. Each fishing boat had a glass dome over the roof which was filled with jungle plants and trees. When I reached the end of the pier it turned into a flight of steps to a greenhouse that had little waterfalls and strange sculptures inside.

* Dream 3 *
I was walking through the park by my house alone late at night, and as I looked up at the orange streetlight, the orange in my vision sort of seeped into everything. I tripped on the pavement and as my sight was jolted, all the blue from the night sky and the shadows dripped and smudged down over what I could see and faded away.

STELLA ARTOIS x BLUE NUDES
(Project I'm working on)

Above journal pages from the last month or two, not getting much done because art projects and college and I'm sleepy. Watched some music documentaries recently: Pulp and the Smiths, both of which were so great and enhanced my love for Morrissey and Jarvis Cocker.

IM  ALSO SEEING MY FAVOURITE MAN EVER MAC DEMARCO IN LIKE A WEEK WHICH IS GNA BE SO GOOD <3

For Halloween, I dressed up as Yolandi Vi$$er from Die Antwoord avec mon ami (DIY zef tracksuits yh yh) and went to a church and did Halloween things xoxo

I don't have much to say apart from the fact that PEACE ARE FINALLY RELEASING A NEW ALBUM soon which is going to be the best thing ever ~~~

I listen to Fur, the B-side of my Lost On Me vinyl every night and it's in my opinion one of Harrison Koisser's best new songs so I can't wait to see them again (for the 7th time!!!) and I hope they play it <333

I have also been listening to...

Syro // Aphex Twin

A Different Class // Pulp

Seniors // HALA

You're Dead! // Flying Lotus

Goodnight.

THE DANCE

THEY DANCED UNTIL THE MOON WAS HIGH IN THE SKY AND SAID "WHO ARE THEY" AND NO ONE DRESSED AS THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO. 

DIARABI//goat

I did some embroidery on my backpack while listening to Goat the other day
(a Swedish experimental band inspired by voodoo myths from their rural hometown, who I saw live a few weeks ago).

I painted Matisse's Dance I on the back of my art coat today and did lots of drawing. Then I listened to TS Eliot reading The Wasteland and watched The Boat That Rocked because isn't the soundtrack the most uplifting thing ever.

THOSE ARE PEARLS THAT WERE HIS EYES//

I went to Frieze art fair and Frieze Masters this week and let me tell you that Frieze Art Fair (ie mainly contemporary and very modern artists) made me so irritated because of the lack of technical skill and beauty in any of the art!!!!!!??

Some of it was actually quite interesting and some of it was slightly laughable, particularly due to the fact that one artist thought it would be a good idea to set up a stall and entice visitors to stand at a counter while we were read incantations from a vintage postcard, asked to burn some leaves and healing oil and then given champagne in a small plastic cup. where r the aesthetics 

is this art????

I'm not saying it was all bad but Frieze Masters was like a total dream after~~ there was such a huge amount and so many gallery stalls that I don't think I actually saw everything but it was heaven. There were so many little Picasso and Hockney pencil drawings and Barbara Hepworth sculptures which are the best and one gallery had transformed into a mock-up of a French artist's studio and hung paintings on the walls of the bedroom and sitting room and it was like walking into a very cosy very cool house and I wish I lived there with Matisse and my other pals.

Twin Peaks is coming back, I'm on half term, Grayson Perry has a new documentary coming out and a show in London and Aphex Twin r alright ......

MATISSE // KANDINSKY // HOCKNEY // VAN GOGH // MIRO 4 KIDS
