Euro Neuro

Gotta say that the right country won the Eurovision yesterday, Sweden lives and breathes this contest and everything that has to do with it, and they are so happy now. Well, especially Christer Björkman:

 The show next year will be at least as spectacular as the above picture. I love you, Internet.

Anyway, the artist in me was completely enthralled by Turkey instead, they had a living boat built of bat-like dancers and a jolly sailor:

I mean, have you ever in your lives seen anything more beautiful than that? If you have, stop right now, you're lying to yourself. This is it, the pinnacle of visual aesthetics.

Whoooshooshooo

Hi, I'm still alive, there's just been a load of (positive) stuff going on, I have a ton of pictures of all kinds of events to post as soon as I can get them sorted. Over and out.


Longhaired roomie spread her wings and flew over to Norway today.

Foldcycle

Assessments are over, so now it's just about sitting and waiting for the results.

Yesterday I went and bought myself a bicycle! It's used, and has a downright dashing lilac colour, a basket and teeny-weeny wheels, because it's one of those foldable hi-tech coolcycles. The best bit is that I got it for £40, which isn't bad at all in my humble opinion. (Although the fact that the ringbellthingy fell off today because of a busted bolt is slightly unnerving, but that's what glue is for, right?)

So now me and Roomie (Longhaired Roomie isn't cool enough to even consider buying a bicycle, foolish little girl) can make cool cycling trips to all kinds of places, such as the ocean. There's even a bicycle route called The Crab and Winkle Way leading there. (I was going to say down, but mapwise, the closest ocean is actually ”up” from here.)

Today I made an epic bicycle journey to Lidl. 'Twas marvelous.

 Phew, assessment deadline tomorrow, here's the foody pictures from Saturday:

Cheesecake with strawberry balsamic vinegar. . .

Today I'll have pizza for dinner in the studio with people from my group. Yeah!

Herc

Phew, been rather busy with scraping together stuff and tying together loose ends for the Studio assessment. Also, there's the artist's research. There are so many, especially when I start to include comic artists, animated films, computer games and so on into it. Basically everything that appeals and inspires me visually, plus a load of other artists that just have some connection with my practice anyway. Right now I've collected 85 artists/animated films/games/illustrators, and that's counting Studio Ghibli as just one!

We ate nice food with old, dusty wine (2004) yesterday, I'll try to get up some pictures tomorrow. 

We watched Disney's Hercules yesterday, haven't seen it in 15 years. It was in fabulous Kino Vaakuna, Lohja, Finland. It was rather scary back then.

Gotta love the chin though.
