Came back with some kind of shitty cough, which sucks....I feel pretty good at the moment apart from that tho, I am less sad than I was last time I made one of these, I am actually doing better than I thought..."if at first you do succeed, try and hide your astonishment" ....very true.
I wish other people could contract some of my "don't give a fuck" vibes, not in a bad way but just so's people stop obsessing over every little thing, and themselves...its not good for you! I feel like people think I'm some kind of super-Moofy hardass who doesn't care about stuff, but I'm really not...I just have a grip on reality and I get on with my life. People think I'm quite miserable and serious as well, I'm not at all. If anything I am usually just thinking about something or trying hard not to laugh like a pirate in someone's face at a really inappropriate time...

But yeah anyway, I really really need to finish some paintings, I have 'Snow White and Rose Red' to finish but I am scared to touch it in case I mess it up, cos its looking pretty good so far.
Still need to practically fucking start 'Confession', a sort of triptych thats been hanging around in my room for far too long. I possibly have an exhibition in October (still tentative about that as it still could all go down the shitter), so I need to get these paintings fucking sorted for that.
I also have some new pets, w00t! I have two axolotls (google it) in a big tank next to me now, they are very sweet. Still undecided on names.
I also have dick-all in the way of money, following trips to Sheffield, London and Brid (I should really stay at home once in a while), so I might have to set up a "Keep Moofy in hair dye and stockings" fund...anyone got any spare change??
Hope everyones doing okay,
Moof x

I work in a cafe making big sandwiches and stuff, and I've got a couple of possible exhibitions on the way (hopefully), so art stuff is going quite well. I'm doing okay really though I am very sad still, but not much anyone can do about that.

I lost my Wet Moon 3 book, I hope I've just lent it to someone and not lost it completely. I need to get my shit together and finish my work and start applying for jobs and finish the zine, I haven't even brushed my teeth today I feel very skanky.
Also I am about to upload new pictures of a shoot I did with [link] so check that out.

Have a look at our new DA page ([link]) for more details, and to add us to your watch list, cos you loves us.

I also have a new camera (w00t), Nikon Coolpix 5700 for those who are curious, so I've been using that to photograph some paintings I did earlier this year, its quite cool though the images are very small (like 476 x 700 pixels small), I'll have a mess about with it to see if I can make them bigger.
On that note check out my pregnant man painting I've been working on most this year, feedback and criticism is much appreciated, as always.
I'm feeling very creative at the moment, so I will hopefully do some drawing or painting today. I bought a couple of canvases the other day, I'm not a fan of using canvas normally but my mum asked me to do some paintings for her, and seeing as I can't really make stretchers for anything else at the mo as the uni workshop is closed, I got pre-stretched ones from the works (yay the works). My housemates who are moving out gave me a whiteboard in a frame, so I plan to use that soonish for something.
In other news, I may still have to cancel my holiday to Dublin because of the flooding here, which sucks balls, I will find out for sure tomorrow. I'm also babysitting a very sweet chipmunk called Itchy, he is very cute.
Hope everyone is doing ok

I've been doing loads more painting lately, I've just finished one painting that I'll put up soon, and I've just started another painting I've been planning for ages, its a painting of my (male) housemate, naked and pregnant, woo. I might have fucked up the first layer, but oil paint forgives all...well, most. Gotta buy some new brushes tomorrow... damn all this uni work is expensive, and I really need a job now. I also did some of the UV photographs I've been planning for a bit too, just like preliminary shots with a crappy camera and not enough light, but it looks promising. I'm also planning some screen prints of a sexy nun and a big tree made out of people, and I've been designing some crazy looking, many breasted, generally 'wrong' sculptures too.

Moo!

been home for xmas since last sunday, feels like ages longer though. I brought uni work home with me but i havent done a lot of it, mainly because i left a really important piece of paper with some work on it in lincoln, go me. Incidentally if anyone at home happens to have a copy of freud's 1927 essay on fetishism, I could really do with it....bit of a random request there.
since ive been home ive been pretty sociable, been out and about and stuff, saw my mates and my brother, which is good. Saw a couple of bands, Phat Jerusalem in hinckley and my brothers band in Cov (not sure what they're called). Been hanging out with my dogs too, I really miss them when I'm in Lincoln. Went out to Brum the other day with Kathraniel, I bought some books, got Wet Moon: Feeble Wanderings by Ross Campbell (finished it already, very cool) and Caricature by Dan Clowes (looks awesome). It only occurred to me after buying them that I could probably pick up a lot of the books I want on Ebay or something a lot cheaper than in shops... d'oh. I'm going back to Lincoln on the 27th of December, and having a new year party in my house, woo, so anyone who wants to come let me know.
Gonna make more of an effort with uni work, getting a job and pretty much everything in the new year...definitely getting the screen prints done that I planned...hopefully coming to a boarded up window or old billboard near you soon
Merry decemberween everyone

I'm going out dressed as a nurse from Silent Hill, many photos probably coming to your screens very soon. I've been painting but not nearly as much as I'd like, or indeed as much as I should...I went into the studio today but it reeked so badly of varnish or something, I've found that the words "well ventilated area" in fine art translate as "somewhere with no windows that you share with at least 12 other people"...oh well. hopefully I'll be moving into a slightly bigger space in the same studio soon, that is unless the mysterious and mystical Kirk decides to start using his space, which I doubt somehow. The weather is getting colder, which I quite like...it smells like winter outside, yomm. I'm currently writing a review of my mate's paintings for Documentation and Professional Practice, her stuff is on here (KokoHart) but hasn't been updated for a while.
In other news, our landlords have stopped fucking us quite so much, probably because they have noticed we aren't a load of clueless hippies who did shitloads of damage (like the people last year)...I wish we could have a halloween party here but by the time I thought of it, it was too late to organise it, also we have an inspection not long after, and it takes a while to clean here. Anyhoo, I'd best carry on with work... happy halloween all.

If you are thinking about renting a property from them, then avoid them like the plague! I won't go into boring detail, but they've been threatening people with eviction with no written notice or anything, bullshitting about when maintenance work will be done, etc... Anyway, we are getting it sorted.

Visiting Lincoln
bit expensive, but worth it....cool party at my new house last saturday. Am already pining for Lincoln, even tho when I stay there, its at my mate's grotty house, where the bottom floor smells like rotting garbage and there are used-looking rubbers in the sink...
2. Taking photos in preparation for new series of paintings, entitled 'Random Dead Shit', or, 'Roadkill - The Ultimate Collection'....
3. Making a rather charming necklace out of my own hair, that i accidentally cut out, leading to the realisation of...
4. I really need a job.
Not just for the money, though that would be good, but because I am dangerously bored...I need to occupy my time at home with something other than painting pictures of dead animals. I signed on with this agency called unitemps, updated my cv and everything, only to have their website fail me....its a sign that jobs are bad, methinks.
Hope any people who are reading this have a good summer, for those of you who aren't reading this, then damn and blast your stupid gay summer!... Or something. ]]> ~Ryuken-Kai http://Ryuken-Kai.deviantart.com/journal/8448261/ http://Ryuken-Kai.deviantart.com/journal/8448261/ Wed, 12 Apr 2006 12:02:31 PDT ~Ryuken-Kai http://Ryuken-Kai.deviantart.com/journal/8204951/ http://Ryuken-Kai.deviantart.com/journal/8204951/ Sun, 19 Mar 2006 08:16:50 PST I'm having all sorts of exciting new ideas well, new anyway) for projects, including hands-free painting (basically, using my tongue) and another Clockwork Orange-style photo (might need your help with that again Rob ), also painting myself blue for photomedia work, with the help (hopefully) of [link] .... I love my mates, hehehe.

ive been so busy this week, its assessment week and ive been staying up to finish work...but tomorrow after putting my work up, and clearing the studio, i can relax. I went out last night, was a bad idea....i could barely move this morning. oh well, i can sleep next week ]]> ~Ryuken-Kai http://Ryuken-Kai.deviantart.com/journal/7488396/ http://Ryuken-Kai.deviantart.com/journal/7488396/ Mon, 02 Jan 2006 11:57:51 PST ~Ryuken-Kai http://Ryuken-Kai.deviantart.com/journal/7180510/ http://Ryuken-Kai.deviantart.com/journal/7180510/ Tue, 29 Nov 2005 20:21:07 PST I went to playzone (like this place for kids with slides and ball pools and stuff) with kat, eleanor, ursula, craig, rob and steveo, twas a laugh, and went to cubes tonight...which was good only there were too many people getting in the way. Im really pissed off right now at my housemate rich, cos he's not pulling his weight at all as far as house cleaning and buying stuff that we all share, plus he's been a miserable arsey bastard for ages now with no good reason, and....well, you get it.
I'm eating a sandwich made with bread i bought last week from lidl, and amazingly enough it wasnt even slightly mouldy....wow, go lidl bread!
Been getting people together to move into a nice big house on lindum road with (the road my uni building is on), hopefully we will have the 12 people required for greestone lodge (which is the uber-house, it has a cave and a waterfall, according to tom, who may just have been looking at the toilet), which would be really sweet....just roll right out of bed, roll (up like 3 flights of stairs) into the studio, hopefully roll into clothes somewhere along the way.....w00t
anyhoo, on that note i will leave you and go to bed.....nite nite people.

also I went out last night and I'm going out tomorrow night....huzzah
I've been missing everyone, hope you are all having fun.
hehe i pwned someone on this forum i am on, she was posting her (crap) photos on there and making loads of posts asking people if they though she was hot, sexy etc...(not really) and I said she might look alright if she scraped off a few pounds of make-up and stopped being such a desparate whore.....and she also said 'if anyone wants more pics of me, give me ur email address'....

2. genetic mutation, e.g. siamese twins, other birth deformities....sounds a bit like some big latex and chicken wire sculptures i was meant to do with a mate a while back.
3. more pics of naked people.....had a gross (but cool) idea while i was doing my FMP work for a woman with maggots or snakes coming out of her....slightly inspired by Reptile by Nine Inch Nails, that one i think. ]]> ~Ryuken-Kai http://Ryuken-Kai.deviantart.com/journal/5549912/ http://Ryuken-Kai.deviantart.com/journal/5549912/ Sat, 04 Jun 2005 08:41:37 PDT in other news (in case you don't read the papers), I have a conditional offer for a place on the BA fine art course at Lincoln (wooyay), just gotta pass this foundation course that I'm doing now. comments and thoughts on my work appreciated xxx
