Banksy vs Bristol, a pink cuddly spider and definately another photo opportunity!

i'm not very good early in the morning! but we'd decided to catch the 8.23 train to Bristol in order to allow plenty of queueing time! it took 1 hour 37 minutes, two trips over the road to various shops, a trip to Greggs for sausage rolls and a fair amount of whingeing from son, although he was very eager to see the animatronics.
at last the end is in sight!
apologies to those of a nervous disposition but 9 year old boys are drawn to anything they think slightly on the 'rude' side! this is for him.
only £2 from primark! this reminded me of a 15 year old work experience girl we had recently who bought a pair of sunglasses at the previously mentioned store.
do i need to say more!
we were not allowed to use flash inside the exhibition so i thought you might like to see some of my 'arty' photos or are they just out of focus! no comments please!



i've noticed recently how people tend to use their cameras too readily without actually absorbing the experience of what's in front of them. its almost as if they need the photo to back up the memory. what ever did we do without cameras?
anyway another Banksy (with blue paint) and another photo opportunity further down the road! all in all a great day was had by all, an excellent, clever and amusing exhibition. my son is now the proud owner of a pink and black 12" spider!!!! oh dear museum shops have a lot to answer for! and i am the proud possessor of 3 cans of spray paint(NOT SOLD IN THE MUSEUM SHOP)!

'New kid on the blog'

Well here goes! Over the next few days/weeks i want to give a potted history of what i have been doing so far in Module 1 of the Diploma. i chose for my 'research for design' GRAFfITI. i can be seen hanging around the streets looking at the many and varied walls covered in street art and tags. it is great that this week the Banksy exhibition at Bristol has opened. waiting impatiently to see it soon.
