After a fairly hectic 2 weeks i’ve finally got chance to sit down and properly post about my activities. So here’s what has been going on…
First off I’ll start with the course I attended down in london, more details here. For a beautiful web, hosted by Andy Clarke and Guest speaker Brendan Dawes. What an inspiring day, these guys have so much energy and passion for what they do and have great knowledge to pass on. They have stuff all over the net worth checking, so get scanning. I was lucky enough to have Brendan come into my uni to talk about his work years and years ago, and a project that stuck with me with his cinema redux, you can check it out here and here.
During the course we were talking about sources of inspiration, here Andy Clark mentioned The Watchmen, something I was aware of but never read, I was more of a Batman fan, but Andy implored everyone to go out and read it, and I can honestly say that I think it’s ace and would forward the advice to check it out. Also check out the movie trailer here. When I first watched the trailer I was very skeptical, but after reading the graphic novel I really can’t wait.
The last thing I’ll finish with was music, everyone agreed that music played a large part in their personal work, and I know it plays a massive part in my creative process. So here are a few tracks, RjD2, always been a fan and only just realised it’s his track from the beginning of Mad Men. John Copper Clark, a Manchester based poet who influenced people like Joy Division and finally track by Visioneers off the Science Fiction Jazz volume 10 compilation. Enjoy
