Hi All,

Below are links to a couple of images that I have only posted on my tumblr account as they aren't appropriate for deviant art.

Also, I've just put together a "todo list" of shooting ideas. If you're interested in helping out - either as a model or just generally being useful, let me know!
I also move house in under two weeks and the new place will (eventually) have a full studio in it! Massive yey!

Hi All!

Just to let you know, all my deviations will now be showing up here and also on my tumblr.com account.

Also, for photos that don't fit with deviantart.com's image policy regarding sexual content, tumblr will be the only place they will be uploaded.

If any of you have a tumblr.com account, do let me know so I can check you out!

]]> *neb8neb A Few New Projects... http://neb8neb.deviantart.com/journal/26091226/ http://neb8neb.deviantart.com/journal/26091226/ Tue, 21 Jul 2009 16:15:00 PDT

Hi All,

I'm an addict. I'm addicted to Tumblr.com. It's a mass of random images in blog form...image overload.
I spent at least 12 hours going through [link] - ...too...many...images!

Anyway, the reason I mention it is that I got involved in a project on there that I'd like to do again here.

The basic premise is to create an image for each day of the week - this can be in any format - photo, drawing, whatever.
Each day's image must fit a certain theme. The themes are...

1. Walt Disney Movie Monday ÂWDMMÂ
2. Stranger Tuesday
3. Gratuitous Photo of Yourself Wednesday ÂGPOYWÂ
4. Semi-Nude Photo Day ÂSNPDÂ
5. Smile Friday
6. Mustache Saturday
7. Sunday Old School ÂSOSÂ

Within those limits you can essentially do whatever you want. I'd really like to get a group of people together to work on this so you know that each day your image will be a part of something and you'll get to see other people's images.

So if you're interested, let me know and we can start talking dates!

Also started attempting to make music again - something I'm rather bad at. If anyone uses Mixcraft or Garage Band I'd love to bend your ear for a while to get some tips.

I finally went back to subscriber mode on dev art. It was those damned Portfolio pages that did it. They're not even very good!

So because of that - I can now stick thumbnails in my journal, so here's a few deviations.

She produces some of the most amazing and daring self portraits on this whole site - I would love to have the balls that *Lucyanna has.

~hopelessfangirl used to be in a Nazi dev art community before they all got shut down. I don't even know if she's still active on devart. Ignoring her politics for a moment, you can't help but find the below very funny. A mixed race, mixed species character promotion racial purity? Someone got confused me thinks.

Finally, he's probably reading this but ~grthink is a genius and here's why.

Has anyone else seen a huuuge drop off in comment volume on dev art over the last year or so?

I've never been hugely popular but I do get the odd few comments per deviantion, although it seems to have really dropped off recently.

Anyway, I now have a pretty good studio set up thanks to my birthday and a bit of cash

So I should have a lot more shoots going on in the future, this also means I'm on the look out for new models. Both male and female, so give me a shout if you're in London and fancy a strange evening if nothing else.

A while back I got a comment on 'Naked Dress Up' that just said...

"Dude you're fucking gay"

So I thought, well its clearly supposed to be an insult, so I suppose I should report it to dev art.

So I did.

and this is what I got

views?

I've begun to get incredibly bored with deviant art however, less and less people communicate, view and comment and the whole place seems to be going down hill.

The reasons I was here was that it provided a digital portfolio and a way to meet models.
Well now I have a portfolio at [link] and I have a profile on Model Mayhem which means a far more professional way of doing both.

So why stay? I dont think I will much longer. Yes deviant art gives you a worldwide audience, but its generally a local audience that buys your work, models for you and helps with your career, not a 14 year old kid in Texas.

So I'll still be around and looking at work and commenting, but I'm more likely to add new work elsewhere than here.

"A smile lights up her face,

WTF. It's bloody awful.

Anyway, degree results are awful, I cant find a job and I have work in a few hours and I still need to get in a night's sleep at some point.

AAAAAAGH!!!!!!!!

At least I can still join the army on a 2.2, just means the whole 'getting the great flat we're seeing Sunday' plan is taking a flying leap out the window as job chances are over.

I'm going to fight this all the way I can, I got a 1st for my disertation and a 2.1 for everything else I've done in my degree, then suddenly 51 for my final project (sexuality portraits)

WTF.

This is why the following should be true...

1. Me being rich
2. the place in hostel existing
3. me being able to go there now and torture the crap out of some gorgeous californian teens.
4. me currently having a bottle of Leffe Brown or Herold Black.
5. It not being 4am.

On wednesday I'll be back in the UK, but at the moment I'm sitting in an internet cafe in Marrakech. I've taken a ton of photos of the Souks and quite a few of the trek up to the summit of Jebel Toubkal which is the highest mountain in North Africa (go me!).
I'll upload those as soon as I get back.
I'm trekking into the Sahara tomorrow and cant wait for the chance to get my camera on the sand dunes! On the way there we pass the village that was used for Gladiator, Lawrence of Arabia, etc, so even more pictures!

Coming Photoshoots

Sometime over the next couple of months I'm going to organize some hardcore fetish photoshoots, the tamer photos will end up here, the more explicit ones will end up on my website. But thats most definate in the planning stages as I'll need to find the models (I'll probably have to hire in professionals unless someone offers) and find a new studio space since I've graduated uni and lost all the access!
Fern and I have talked about creating some amazing fetish shoots so it's something I definatly want to do. If you want to help, get in touch!

The Future

Along with not having a studio space anymore, graduating also means I'm trying to find a job and a place to live, Fern (my fiancee) and I might of got a flat in Swedish Quays(south east London) but it's flippin expensive so jobs have to come first!
In a year and 12 days I get married, so this whole year will just be a countdown to that, but eventually I'd like to think I will have a job, a flat overlooking the river, a fetish photography business and enough money to pay for the honeymoon all before then!

Right, I'm off back to the riad to get everything packed ready for tomorrow's trek.

If you're in the area please come and have a look.

The work of another artist, Laura Jenkins is also on show, her work is based around her experience as a stripper and involves the male gaze, female fetishism and many of the same issues raised by my own work.

So come on down, or if you know of/own a gallery near you, make lots of noise so that I can come and exhibit this set of work near you

I'm serious about the above by the way, even if you live in Australia or the US, If you know of a gallery that might be interested, let me know.

On their way - Drew, Sophie

For my final major project for my degree I'm using the following brief...

I plan to use the medium of photography to create a selection of portraits on sexuality. Through one on one interaction and conversation with each model I will try to help them visualise their own sexuality, views on sex, fantasies, etc in order to create a very personalised final piece.
I will exist purely as a route for the model's own ideas and plans to turn into a photograph.

Both the final photographs and the 'performance' aspect of their creation will hopefully fit together to create an important experience for both myself and each model.

If you live near Southampton or are willing to travel and feel like you would like to get involved in this, please let me know by e-mailing me at 3baleb91@solent.ac.uk or noting me here.

Note: This project is NOT limited by race, age or gender. Anyone that feels this is something they'd like to do should let me know.

I'd appreciate comments and critisism on any and all of these!

If you find that embarassing, offensive or incredibly funny, then stop reading.

Most of you probably don't know, but I have a stock photo gallery that happens to contain some full nude shots. This means I generally attract quite a few weirdos and freaks. HOWEVER, a group of people who are neither of those (as far as I am aware) are the guys at *m-a-l-e who debate the relationship between the male nude and society, audience and the female nude.

They are currently creating a piece of work asking men to take a photo of their penis in an attempt to show that, to put it bluntly...

"We've all got one, what is inherently sexual or shocking about what is essentially an anatomy photo?"

I've been chatting with them and during debate I suggested that they would probably find it far easier to complete this task with men than women, since even though the vast majority of nudity (specifically on deviant art) is female, men seem far more prepared to go nude than women.

At which point I decided, i've done quite a bit of work with nudity, I'm going to bloody well get involved in this, so I'm attempting to create the female version.

So can you please please please comment on this journal or note me a reply to the following questions...

GENDER: male or female?

1. Have you ever posed nude for someone privately?

2. Have you ever posed nude publicly? (the web, life model, etc)

3. What were/are your reasons for your choice?

4. How did "how other people would see/treat you" come into it? What about the sexuality of your audience, would that chance your opinion? (i.e. would you be more prepared to go nude if you would only be seen by people with no sexual interest in your gender)

5. Do you consider all nudity to be sexual?

6. Would you be happy to send a photo of your genitals to myself orthe *m-a-l-e group? (males to *m-a-l-e, female to ~neb8neb)

Please note, for my side of things this is mainly a theoretical exercise, it's my expectation that I'll get zero replies photographically since as I said, this is a very private (strangely) topic, but anyone that answers the questions would be being very helpful!

On saturday night while I was holding a whip and Fern was tied to a St. Andrews cross...I proposed.

Now I am engaged

Obviously we aren't setting a date yet as we're both poor students, but in around 2 years time we're going to get married in star trek uniforms.

For reasons I can't tell you yet, this weekend will (hopefully) be very very memorable.
Things I can tell you about it is that on saturday I'm going to Torture Garden,that'll be fun. I was going to take my camera but they haven't got back to me in time about getting a photography pass.

Lucky

I'm watching 'Chasing Amy', or rather its on in the background. Anyway, the scene where they have a huge full on fight after he drags her sexual history out in public in the ice hockey game has just finished.
I sat here thinking, you know what, mine and Fern's relationship is so easy. The things that ruin most relationships don't even effect us. I'm sure we have our own problems, but to be honest I really can't think of any.

I uploaded some awful pictures just now, I'm sorry that there aren't any naked blood drenched goth chicks riding sheep, but I haven't had time to do any serious work, and wont have till my disertation is finished.

This means 2 things - I'm on my own, generally other people object to music and typing at 4am. It also means I'm very tired. When I'm tired I tend to get lots of ideas, which in reality are in fact sleep deprevation induced dementia masqurading as inspiration.

Thats why I'm writing a dev art journal.

Sometimes, I feel, in a totally non "dark and depressing" way, that I'd like to kill myself. Just because, it'd be easier. Living involves so much effort. In the last few days a few things have happened that have kept this train of thought in my head.
I'm very happy, probably more so than I've ever been in my lifetime, which is why I think I can be objective about the issue.

I remember once reading Satre's famous quote of "there is only one philosophical question, and that is suicide." as a 16 year old full of teen angst and coming to the only conclusion a 16 year old could - "bugger this, I'm off."

But now as I sit on the otherside of what we'd now call "emo" (although back then emo meant weedy guys listenning to jimmy eat world and weezer, rather than weedy guys listenning to my chemical romance) and I've begun to really understand in a new way, that even if I spend the next 60 years exploring the planet, enjoying every minute, it would end the same way, with nothing.

I am aware that I'm rambling, so I'll begin to shut up.

I'm going to Paultons Park on monday. [link]

~grthink is currently working on a piece of work for me, and some point this week I'll get round to working out what on earth I can send in response, since due to specifications it cant have any gore or nudity. Also, and the man himself wont mind me saying, he's quite a clever chap, so it should definately be reasonably thought provoking and/or full of ironically shallow goodness.

So while I think about what on earth to create with my hands, camera and biro, I have decided something.. (the tense doesn't sound quite right there, I'm sure an english teacher would complain...)

Who wants to do an art trade with me?

I can't promise to do too many of them since I'm very busy (see below) but if you want something made personally by yours truely then let me know and we'll get on doing some address swapping.

The Next Two Months

I started university again today in my third and final year and in 5 weeks time I have to give in a 5000 word dissertation that will in effect become a good chunk of my final degree result.
Also before the 1st of Decemeber, I have to of handed in my application form for my masters, including a portfolio of work and an artistic statement.
The second one isn't a problem, I can talk bollocks till the cows come home, but the first is worrying me slightly. The last year has been nearly totally theoretical for me, I spent the whole time working through definitions of art and trying to hand in thin air (performances with out documentation etc) but now it's backfiring on me since I have fuck all to send off to Goldsmiths. They want 12 slides as examples of work (so photos, text, videos etc) and I honestly cant think of more than 3 that I have at the moment.

So.... dissertation finishes the first week of November, application form to be sent off on the last week of november, leaving me two weeks in which to get a portfolio together that looks good enough to get into the best art college in the country.

bugger.

Ah well, bring it on.

Well, I stopped uploading things to dev art for a while. I even stopped looking at it for large parts of the last few weeks.

But it didn't stop me producing a shed load of photos. So after I watch Superman this evening I'll go on to a PC at ~fialana's house and upload a selection of them.

I really need to start thinking about performance work. I talk about it all the time, but I never actually do anything. Time to start Bruce Lee-ing that a bit.

Right, lots of photos on their way to your dev watches this evening, so since superman is 3 hours long or whatever and it starts at half 6...they'll appear around half 10ish GMT.

I even did a vague 'dark art' photo manipulation too.

My 'Work'

I rescently saw a series of self portraits on deviant art that consisted of an overweight person sitting in a fast food diner eating pizza and drinking pepsi.
Within the series, I found more meaning, more interest, more life than ANYTHING I've uploaded recently.

The last photoshoot I did felt lifeless and totally without depth. So much so that I've decided to stop doing nudes and start thinking.
I've got a painting that needs photoshopping and uploading and I've got half an unfinished album that needs finishing and playing.

In less than 5 months I will of applied to the places where I hope to do my masters, at the moment all I have in terms of a body of work is the crap I upload to deviant art and a bunch of art theory without any physical evidence it exists.

I'm going to not upload, and in fact, I'm not going to log on to deviant art for the rest of this month. I think I'm creating things for an audience rather than for the sake of it.

I watched a documentary on the history of Icelandic music today called "Screaming Masterpiece" and the one major thing I took from it was a quote along the lines of...

"bands in Iceland know that they'll sell 200 albums in Iceland max, and generally no one will care what they do. So they accept that fact and just do what they want, they have no desire to please people."

So thats my new philosophy in regards to art.

See you all in a month....starting tomorrow.

20 questions

1. What was the last book you read?
Currently reading 'Heaven's Falling' by Garry Charles. I did a charity book cover for him, and he sent me this one of his as a thank you.

2. Whats playing on your IPod or stereo right now?
My country playlist, but I'm getting a bit bored of it so....now it's Dennis Leary - I'm an Asshole

3. If you could have anyone over for dinner, who would it be?
Satre, Derrida and Nietzsche

4. What would you serve them?
Well its two frenchmen and a german, so I figure..ah who am I kidding, I'd get take out.

5. What is your guilty pleasure?
Hmm, beer, chocolate, porn, lazing around, football, computer games - don't I sound great now. lol

6. Whats the farthest youve traveled from home?
Nepal, or Florida, I assume Nepal is further.

7. What was your first job?
Barista - translation? I served coffee and washed cups.

8. Whats the most youve lost at any one time gambling?
Probably 10 pounds, I dont gamble unless I think I'll win.

9. How much was your university tuition?
I think its about 1,050 a year. Not sure though.

10. What was the last movie you saw that moved you to tears?
Lol, It was 'The Terminal' when it came out in the cinema.

11. Did you ever break any bones?
Yep, both arms, ankles and my collar bone.

I'm quite clever I guess.

15. Which person in the world would you like to vote of the earth, Survivor-style?
Hmm, no one really pisses me off that much at the moment, although there have been people in the past. If I could vote people off the planet, I'd do it en masse, rather than individuals...in which case it would be (in no particular order) Daily Mail Readers, all relgious believers, anyone with an IQ of under 120, anyone that uses "weird", "crazy" or "mad" when describing themselves...and probably a few more groups.

16. Coke or Pepsi?
Neither, I dont really like cola.

17. Who was your first date?
A girl called Lisa Horwood when I was 12.

18. Who is your favorite cartoon character?
Optimus Prime, Panadora, or Tank Girl.

19. The Da Vinci Code truth or fiction?
Absolute Bollocks, but fun as a bit of trashy crap to read.

20. When the movie is made about your life, which actor / actress will play you? Christian Bale, Johnny Depp or Jake Ghllydjfskdjgfahaal, although sadly they'd probably pick Orlando Bloom or that prat from spiderman.

Painting With Paper

Those who know me well enough to of seen my bedroom will know I'm a bit of a horder, walls are covered floor to ceiling in photos, newspaper clippings and art works.
I just spent the last hour turning all of that into a rather crap looking 3 foot tall oil painting. Well, I say painting as it does technically have paint on it, but thats about the strenght of the link.
I'll take a few photos and upload some before and after photoshopping shots to deviant art.

I'm also planning a few photoshoots with different people over the next could of weeks, so expect some more photographic content.

There you go, proof that I do infact listen to what people say, in the poll you asked for more fetish photography and more mixed media stuff so both on the way.

As for self portraits, I feel as if I've done quite a few of me and I'm getting a bit bored with the subject, so if anyone wants to do a portrait of me (any medium) let me know I'd I'll gladly try my best to make it happen.

So, Here's a list of things you should expect to see from me in the next month or so...

The results of tonights oil and paper fiasco.

A photoshoot of a new model, taking nude shots in industial locations

An attempt to recreate the sex scene in fight club, but photographically

Any requests I get in this journal (I'll try)

NEW SUBSCRIPTION

I received a one month subscription from

for coming second in his competition. It's like monopoly. On the computer game version of that I used to have for an old amstrad, when you received "2nd prize at a beauty contest" the computer would say, "I came first."

Anyway.

I've realised recently that girls are weird, they make absolutely no sense. So it's time fo a guy's night out. I'm also off to shoot a load of guys with paint for a friend's stag do on saturday, so after all that I should be more 'balanced'.

A year ago in my journal...
I've always been one for orginality, weirdness and generally "indie acoustic singer songwriters that die young and never got the praise they deserved" (note this does not include Jeff Buckley who although reasonably good doesn't really float my boat and is the "cool dead indie guy" in most people's music collection in an attempt to say "see!!?? I do have taste!!")

Well I apparently wont allow myself to do anything, ever. I want to do it, I know how to do it, I just dont. cant explain it, people that know me well would agree, I'm wasting my life away. Its like I have a deep sub conscious desire to be mediocre and I hate it, if you have an answer let me know, the only one I know of is her, being with her, or even talking to her can set me actually working for a few days before I turn back into the self defeating me.

God I'm boring.

Best Bits:

I got winked at by a Thai ladyboy
...and he was HOT.

Live Sex Show

wa stayed there so long we actually saw some bits of the show twice...and I got to eat a banana out of somewhere I've only seen bananas go in porn.

It was fun.

Candlelight Canal Cruise

I was romantic and took fern on a cruise round the city, mainly to make up for getting stoned and forgetting she was waiting back at the hotel for a few hours...but still, it was great, could of done with a better soundtrack though.
Nice wine too.

MY CAMERA IS BROKEN. THE ZOOM IS TOTALLY FUCKED.
I'm going to take it to a camera shop and see what they say, but I'm pretty much shitting myself as I've hgot zero money for a new one if it's serious. The next 5 weeks are all written work at uni anyway, but it would mean no photo shoots at all until the end of the summer when I'd have enough money for a replacement.
Still, life goes on...the sex show was awesome. ]]> *neb8neb Read if you're HIGHLY bored. http://neb8neb.deviantart.com/journal/8430306/ http://neb8neb.deviantart.com/journal/8430306/ Mon, 10 Apr 2006 17:21:20 PDT

It took me over an hour to find where the band were now. Why did I spend my time doing that?

Because I feel a bit of a kinship with crazy town.

They became rock superstars and got everything they could ever want, "butterfly" turned them into household names, which was a shame, because they could of survived far longer as the underground band of pierced and tattooed hollywood drug dealers they started out as. Like a modern day Icarus, success killed them totally, not because they were a crap band, but because people generally were of the opinion "I'm too cool to listen to crappy pop like that."
Add to that an appearance at Ozzfest which will go down in history as the world's WORST ever. (After getting moved to the main stage after their unexpected sucess, they played to an almost empty field bar a few chants of "Butterfly Boys!")

All in all that made their second album really interesting from a psychological point of view. If you listen to the lyrics, you can really hear exactly what it was like being the subject of that much hate and love at the same time. They rail against the candy coated pain of the "Nu-metal" world, selling teen angst back to teenagers and show incredible ammounts of self awareness.

I wanna run but if I run I'm only running form myself,
Would it be easier if I were someone else,
I'm like a child playin' with matches that's never been burned,
Relearning all the lessons that I've already learned,
On a highway to a destination I've earned
So many exits, but I've never bothered to turn
I'm like a piece of shard glass laying on a frame of a window that was broken by the bricks of pain,
Sometimes I feel just like the devil's guinea pig,
He's watching me just to see how deep I can dig,
I admit I'm fucked up and got a lot to learn
So now I'm dancing in the ashes of the bridge I've burned

I'm sure all of you will just pass by this journal entry and not really think about it, probably leaving me a comment saying "crazy town suck dude!" but that's life.
As for the title of this journal, that was the band's suggested title for album no.2. Unsuprisingly the label rejected it and it became "Darkhorse" instead.

The last 5am journal from me for a long time. Fern's round for the next few days so I have to go to sleep at a proper time or she'll moan at me. Then after that it's amsterdam, work and then back to uni. ]]> *neb8neb Shot in the Dark http://neb8neb.deviantart.com/journal/8356702/ http://neb8neb.deviantart.com/journal/8356702/ Mon, 03 Apr 2006 18:13:47 PDT
Not in a physical sense, or any other you'd think of really, on the surface it's been reasonably boring.
However last thursday I had my convina group (which is basically presenting my current work to a group of 40 students and 3 lecturers).
It went awfully and ripped my huge artistic ego out from under me.

Add that to my failed attempt to create anything that would be recognised as music from Fruityloops and I've been left with the stark realization that the two things I like doing and really think I have a talent for (art and music)...I'm crap at.

So I've been thinking, what else is there to do with my life? I was planning to do an MA and become a university lecturer, but I dont know if I'm good enough. I mean, I can't even understand the introductory chapter in my "Georges Bataille Reader" let alone use it in my work.
I thought about working either in advertising and marketing, or going to africa/asia and work for a human rights/aid relief group. Anything where I'll have something (either money or well being) that will keep me from the mundane.

This whole thing boils down to one fact really.

If I can't be the best at something, I don't want to do it.
I get off of success.
I want to be loved by all and know inside that I'm fucking fantastic at what I do, and I want everyone else to know it too. Call it a messianic complex, call it egoism, whatever.

I've been listenning to Counting Crows tonight and it just makes me want to write more, but every time I hear something good like "Anna Begins" or "Round here" it makes me realise how awful, dull and lacking in emotion my own stuff is.

Listenning to: Streets of London - Cat Stevens
Vaguely reading and not understanding: Georges Bataille
Eating: Sausage rolls and chocolate bars (neither are very nice)
What I should be doing: Finishing a web site I have to demo on friday evening, thinking up a real project for my assessment because my others were shallow and badly thought through, writing music, going to the gym, going to sleep. ]]> *neb8neb ATTENTION ANYONE IN THE SOUTH EAST http://neb8neb.deviantart.com/journal/8273339/ http://neb8neb.deviantart.com/journal/8273339/ Sun, 26 Mar 2006 10:08:28 PST In a few weeks I will be shooting a new set of photos, based on the theme of post apocalyptic worlds like "tank girl" and "mad max". If this sound like something you'd like to be part of and you are in the south east (or can get to the medway area for a few hours) please read on.

The shoot will be around the date of the 22nd-30th of April but I'll work to the dates the most people are around.

The Plan

I want to create some large scale group portraits of an underground world, imagine the worlds of mad max or tank girl and you'll know what I mean, if not, let me explain.
The world has ended as we know it, be it World War 3, planetwide drout or purely an evil corporation desided to crush individual spirit.
In this world there live the rebels, those that have escaped and formed their own communities with their own rules.
In this new world fashion rules have gone out of the window, people snatch at whatever they can find, creating a total mishmash of styles.

You are those rebels.

Be it Tank Girl's thong over demin hot pants with an ammo belt, or a ripped up leather jacket covered in desert dust, I want to see people being incredibly inivative, Cross Adam Ant with 80's Madonna and then add a german ww2 helmet. ANYTHING.

There are no rules.

If you're interested please let me know so I can get in touch and keep you informed.

Props: If you have a kid's bike, or a pogo stick or anything you want to bring, bring it. The weirder the better. ]]> *neb8neb Old Photoshoots, New Photoshoots and Weirdos. http://neb8neb.deviantart.com/journal/8258955/ http://neb8neb.deviantart.com/journal/8258955/ Fri, 24 Mar 2006 19:53:13 PST Watching: Tangled In Plaid [link] by Marie :devpeeingangel:

I want to recreate this picture.
[link]

I love it. It's so sexy and dark. When I'm back home for easter I'm attempting a tankgirl/mad max type photo shoot and generally I'm leaning towards taking photos of weirdos and freaks, so it'd be a nice change to flick between that and a set like this.
By freaks and weirdos I mean not people that just look "emo", "goth", "chav" or whatever, but people that look fucking cool and know it.
I should probably ask marie if she can put me in touch with the random guy that looks like "Jack Fairie" in Velvet Goldmine.

Expect a few random photoshoots of weirdos

Speaking of Which...

On thursday I was performing a live art piece in the John Millais building at Southampton Solent University based on Rhythm Zero by Marie Abramovic.
I'll be posting photos and other documentation on here when I'm back at uni on monday.

They look extremely strange and slightly scary. All credit to Ciaran and Ben for taking photos at the time. Not to mention fern's note taking skills

I'm just about to take a photo of some dead roses, then I'm going to bed. I should have my laptop working for the first time in 6 months tomorrow so fingers crossed I can grab some old photos and music from there! I know I have at least one whole photshoot I can upload! ]]> *neb8neb Stuff http://neb8neb.deviantart.com/journal/8211678/ http://neb8neb.deviantart.com/journal/8211678/ Sun, 19 Mar 2006 21:40:52 PST

Curent background noise:The Origin of Love - Hedwig & the Angry Inch

You know...I wish I could be more active. Get more done. I want to be a rock star, I want to be a renound artist, I want to have a great understanding of life and philosophy, to write books, give speechs, perform songs...but I don't, I stay up on the computer till 5:30am.
I've got the ego, and thanks to that I at least think I've got the talent and the ability. I just don't have the self discipline.
Wonder what the cure for that is...

There's a scene in 'Velvet Goldmine' where Kurt Wild is screaming out the song "Gimmie Danger". The first time I saw that film I thought (compared to the rest of the soundtrack) it was a bit of a shit song, however more and more rescently I've been starting to understand the feeling behind the way he sings.

Someone mentioned today how I constantly turn my art into a bathetic joke. I remove meaning that I know I put there.
I think I do that with life too, I'm so fucking scared of what would happen if I actually did something, that I do nothing and claim to care about nothing, at least that way I can sound like I don't mind failing when it happens.

fuck it. I'm in a 5:30am no sleep, wasting-my-life mood and fucking Lionel Richie has just come on random play. Needless to say, I am not dancing on the ceiling. ]]> *neb8neb What about you? http://neb8neb.deviantart.com/journal/8127745/ http://neb8neb.deviantart.com/journal/8127745/ Sat, 11 Mar 2006 05:05:40 PST >> What song describes when you are .... <<

I tell you that there are terrible temptations which it requires strength, strength and courage to yield to."
Oscar Wilde.

People must of really hated Oscar Wilde. I dont mean the general public, but rival playwrites, and dandys of the time. Imagine you were one of them. You see this guy, he doesn't have to work hard and yet he has wit, humour and profundity at his fingertips, not to mention the ego of a small country.

I guess if you're good, you're allowed an ego.

Why is it that having a large ego is concidered a bad thing? Why do we praise humility? Celebrate yourself, not just your skills, but your weaknesses, turn your entire being into a work of art, until you enjoy everything about yourself.

thats style.

1. Eat a donut with chocolate inside it.

7. Eat sushi

why? cos I like sushi. Thats why.

8. See someone naked that doesn't have a good reason to be naked, oh, and that isn't me, fern or an animal....UNLESS....ITS A PUG!!!

9. Go to Southampton Art Gallery (this is a guilt thing)

10. Take a photo of a fried egg on someone's stomach or butt.

*neb8neb :devAnneaxedote: and :devfialana:'s Question Thing http://neb8neb.deviantart.com/journal/7636828/ http://neb8neb.deviantart.com/journal/7636828/ Wed, 18 Jan 2006 07:03:39 PST Unlike fern, I can actually see the huuuge bookcase next to my computer, so now I'm awake I'll grab one... "such an approach shows that eah compenent [of the art system] has an effect on the total art information produced and that more frequently writers, critics and historians rather than artists generate actual art information." phew. Long sentence.

2. Stretch your left arm out as far as you can.
empty space...a rarity in my room.

3. What is the last thing you watched on TV?
umm, I cant remember, I dont think I've watched tv in aaaaages. Might of been the news.

4. Without looking, guess what time it is:
2:23pm

5. Now look at the clock. What is the actual time?
2:47pm

6. With the exception of the computer, what can you hear?
Linkin Park - Breaking the Habbit, traffic and fern.

7. When did you last step outside? What were you doing?
Walked to the corner shop to get beer. Mmm, beer. yep, I was getting beer too.

8. Before you started this survey, what did you look at?
~AnneAxeDote & ~fialana's journals, I'm a bit of a sheep when it comes to these.

9. What are you wearing?
Lol, a towel....AND a t shirt, oh and one sock. This thing caught me mid-dressing.

10. Did you dream last night?
Yeah I had loads of weird dreams last night, but I cant remember them, I know there was something about a jewish guy trying to kill loads of people, and ciaran was there...I think something happened.

11. When did you last laugh?
Probably a few seconds ago. Fern was saying that all my dreams involve evil jewish guys...buggered if I know why.

12. What is on the walls of the room you are in?
*deep breath* aah fuck it. a lot.

13. Seen anything weird lately?
I already told you, a weird orthadox jewish guy with a big knife trying to kill people, duuuh.

I'm going with fern's default answer of 'fine', which can mean anything.

"Gumball 3000" the documentary, it's righteous. :

16. If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy?
I'd put most of it in the bank and live off the interest. ALthough, I would buy a flat in london with a recording studio in it, and I'd pay trent reznor to teach me how to use a sequencer.

17. Tell me something about you that I don't know.
I ran out of underwear today...I need to put a wash on.

18. If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt or politics, what would you do?
This is the kind of thing that could seriously backfire, but I'd get rid of greed.

19. Do you like to dance?
why yes, yes I do.

20. George Bush:
Legend.

21. Imagine your first child is a girl, what do you call her?
Emma or Julie...or at least those were my girls names, but now I think about it, I've slept with someone of both those names since I chose them years ago, so I probably need to think of new ones, so....book it is.

22. Imagine your first child is a boy, what do you call him?
William or something like "Mao" or "Adolf" not enough kids called Saddam around either really....not slept with any of them either, which is a bonus.

23. Would you ever consider living abroad?
fuck yes. but london...its so cool....hmm, ys I'd live abroad but only if I had the money to keep a house in london too, or at least come back often.

24. What do you want God to say to you when you reach the pearly gates?

Those of you who know me reasonably well will know how much I like the film Fight Club. For those that you who don't "I've been seriously considering getting 'LOSING ALL HOPE IS FINDING FREEDOM' tattoo across my chest. So there's a bit of an idea for you.
Now, the reason I'd get a quote from a film permenantly scared into my body, an action that seems very commercial and not-me like, is because that quote and that film, relly mean something to me. At least, I thought they did.

I remember writing once how angry I was that the man who wrote Fight Club (Chuck Palahniuk) was writing all these things about how there was no hope, that we were all sleeping in a life where we just asumed we'd turn into rich film stars, yet these wods were coming out of the mouth of Brad Pitt - a rich film star.

Now sure, there is no hope, but if you truely don't hope...I don't know I think I have to watch/read fight club again. I would love to say that things like getting a degree, the future, etc. That things like that don't matter, because I know they dont in the whole Sylvia Plath style big picture, but quite frankly, to me THAT is the lie.

Fuck rock stars, I say, we live in a world where we are all lead to believe that there is no hope, no future, when in reality there is a future, and there is hope, if you work at it, you may very well get somewhere.

Ah I have no idea what I'm doing anymore, it might be subconscious relgious guilt, it might be growing up, but whatever it is, I have totally lost the plot.

My philosophy has flaws. I should probably start reading more to find out which person 200 years ago has realised, thought about and solved them.

Written down a description of my first sexual experience (as requested by my lecturer)

Performed in a 4 man performing arts group.

Been really rude to lots of people. (they dont read this, so apologising on here would be kinda futile)

Seen a man play with his bollocks.

Art's kinda cool, it's just artists that suck.

Going to Rhinos tonight which is a shitty club and I have no money so I shall drink the free beer in our fridge before I go

yey for free beer, boo for no money.

Literally, no money...ok thats a lie, I have £1.60 or something like that, but that wont even get me in the friggin club, let alone pay for the drink I have to hold to complete my look of "deep and mysterious yet strangely alluring" while standing around looking bored.

its cool to look bored...ask claire...or fonzie. ]]> *neb8neb I know we're cool http://neb8neb.deviantart.com/journal/6504694/ http://neb8neb.deviantart.com/journal/6504694/ Wed, 14 Sep 2005 16:05:36 PDT
On trouble is this tv prgram called "Sausage Factory" which is basically saved by the bell for the next generation.
If it was music it would be a rancid single. Kinda cool if you're 14 or stupid, but after that it tends to look a bit shallow.
Still, like all teenage tv it is totally over sexed and I'm starting to think I missed out.
When I was 16 I don't remember having lots and lots of random sex and every girl in the school being gorgeous.

I also saw hulk hogan's tv show where he was getting his stupid daughter a record contract and I became highly jealous.

I have so much to say but I don't have the energy to say it. I need art. I'll be so glad when my course starts again. I need people, I need art, I need a distraction from the shithole that is life lol, well, only 2 weeks to go. ]]> *neb8neb I know we're cool http://neb8neb.deviantart.com/journal/6504690/ http://neb8neb.deviantart.com/journal/6504690/ Wed, 14 Sep 2005 16:05:28 PDT

Deviant art has been getting slowly more and more hypocritical rescently. At first I ignored it because, basically, it didn't effect me. I knew that there were power mad admins, I knew there were spammers, but generally none of them got in my way and I just enjoyed submitting and viewing art.
I'm not going to go into the whole Jark being fired thing, because I wouldn't have a clue what I was talking about, although I'm aware of the reaction within the community (it's hard to NOT see it). But again, this really didn't effect me, hell a couple of weeks ago I was thinking about resubscribing for a year.

Anyway, if you have a dictionary or google.com handy, go look up the definition for the word deviant. You'll see something along the lines of "a person who's actions and behaviour are unaccepted, especially sexual behaviour" or words to that effect.

Anyway, deviant art just reclarified its policy on 'pornographic submissions'.

Point 1

The first thing I that began to irritate me was that the following was concidered pornography (and therefore account bannable)...

"Hands also should not be extended beneath clothing (such as pants or underwear) in a sexually suggestive manner."

look up
If you dont subscribe I'm guessing there is a good chance that at the top of this page there is an advert for suicide girls with a clearly topless woman with her hand inside her knickers. Remind me again, who is deviant art run for?

Secondly, and I can't be arsed to go and find the direct quote, dildos, vibrators or any sexual toy are banned. Um, sorry? How on earth can anyone in their right mind look at a ramant rabbit and find it sexual? They look like an internal organ of the fucking terminator for fucks sake. It's the usage rather than the object surely? And then shouldn't we be banning fingers? cucumbers? ball point fucking pens?

Anyway, enough ranting. When I get back to uni I'm going to sort out a way of creating my own web site to show case my art, most of the stuff I upload to deviant art is crap anyway.
If I'm honest most of it is submitted as an ego boost so I can read people say how great I am.

Listenning to: Ozzy - Pictures of Matchstick Men
Plans for tomorrow: Organize future, afirm life, remove personal flaws, become god, buy haribo, eat haribo.

Looking Forward to: Getting back into Uni
Dreading: Graduating and realising I actually have no future.
Being asked if I've ever fucked a llama.

There are two sides to me. One side is currently listenning to Common People by Pulp and thinking about how the lyrics are amazing. This side of me wants to look incredibly cool* and become a witty dark rock star and actually care about something enough to really make a difference. This side wants to be an evil bastard and enjoy it.
The other side is currently listenning to 'The Promise' by When in Rome. This side just wants to say things like "I'll always be there for you", start giving lots of money to chariety, generally being a really nice guy and just giving in to the fact the future will probably be very dull.

Both songs are great, but the sentiments in both of them are polar oposite and leave me somewhere in the middle doing nothing and not entire sure how to do that anyway.

I'll be glad when I'm at uni, I can bury myself in work and my social life and not have to worry about the real world for another 9 months.

Getting my hair cut tomorrow, so before I go to bed this morning, I'm going to upload a couple of pictures I took while on holiday so you can all see what I look like at the mo before I go and ruin it.

I was going to say something about the title, but I can't be asked, if you have a spare 5 minutes and are actually vaguely interested in the crap I write here, ask me. ]]> *neb8neb Alcohol http://neb8neb.deviantart.com/journal/6245099/ http://neb8neb.deviantart.com/journal/6245099/ Tue, 16 Aug 2005 16:20:47 PDT Listenning: I could say "Brad Paisley - Alcohol" or "Lover I dont have to Love / Perfect Sonnet - Bright Eyes" but I'd be lying. They're on in my head though.

home.

a few photos coming when I get my camera sorted.

I slept all day and now I'm probably going to be up all night because of it *rolls eyes*

A lot seems to have changed since I got back. I dont really think much has changed, I just had wrong ideas of how things really were in my head for two weeks and now I'm realising.

Nothing to say really, although I've got a totally empty diary for the next few weeks so if you want to do anything, let me know and I'll do it, I'll die of boredom otherwise.

The waitresses were hot, and thin, no seriously, thin and thats ME saying that, I think pretty much everybody is fat.

Well, the whole place is just amazing, hot pants...tight tops...hot waitresses, did I mention the hot pants?

They should have hooters in England, except since its europe and we have crazy european sex laws over here/there we should have "Naked Hooters".

Anyway, enough about hooters.

HOOTERS HOOTERS HOOTERS

ok, I'm done now.

Anyway, not that I'm blowing my own trumpet here, but I have to, since I only have a few days left to enjoy it, but yet again, more random flirting from hot american girls, even the waitress that was selling me the t-shirts at hooters *sniff* was flirting with me and all I did was look embarassed while my dad tried to be Hugh Grant...

America is kinda cool, and generally, I think I could get used to having a tan and having women waaaaay out of my league flirt with me, but I'll be glad to get back home to Laaandaaaan, innit.

Oh, Southampton people, I'm gonna have a party or at least a small "few people come round and burn down a bit of my house" type thing before the end of August so I'll seeya soon

Anyway, that was "I left my heart in Hooters" by Ben Bale and the Alabama Billy Boys...that song's so good, I recon I'll play it again y'all.

Oh by the way, if you fit the following descripton...you go to Southampton Institute, you read my journal on deviant art, and you have boobs, you now own a hooters t shirt, oh and kelly does too.

One last thing before I go...
