Venice Watercolour

Ok another girly Venice watercolour painting for GW as he has complained that there’s too many people pictures, some people its like they haven’t got anything better to do than argue with their wife over sandwich flavours.

I went on a trip a week ago with some trainers to Amsterdam (that is trainers as in people who train not trainers as in my shoes, I was obviously wearing shoes). To cut a long story long they started on about these psychometric testing tests they did on the people they had trained. It was the Myers-Briggs test they were on about. So I got back and looked up the test and there’s various flavours online and will match your test to a 4 letter combination.

Its kind of freaky as I have done 3 now completely different tests and have came out with the same result from completely different questions.

and this is the result “The classic temperament of an INTJ is Promethean, or Phlegmatic, for whom a basic driving force is the search for competence or excellence.”

Which itself is actually amazing, how did they know about the phlegm I had last week ?!?!? Or maybe it was just a touch of catarrh caused by my horse allergy.

Flatness Remastered

Managed to get hold of a decent video camera for a few days to finally refilm a few of the rubbish quality parts of my video art film FLATNESS:145.

In case you are wondering this apple is tha main star of the movie, his rates were extortionate and he really had an attitude problem during the shoot. At one point he went on strike and I had to call in a trained negotiator to settle the disagreement. After the shoot I ate him, he was most crunchy.

Anyway go see FLATNESS REMASTERED

Feels like Sunday

bucklers.jpg

One of them lazy Sunday’s today, mowed the lawn cut the trees, just no energy to do anything. How come when you’ve not done anything creative for a while you lose the energy to do anything creative ? Bad rut to get into, anyway forced myself to finish off a little drawing from the sketchbook.

Drawn originally while visiting my parents on the South coast, this is Buckler Hard a yachting yard near the Solent, drawn in biro and water colour then scanned and altered slightly with graphics tablet. Kind of picture postcardy.
Anyway its hot and i’m off for a cold one.
