One thing leads to ...

another.

I am making books for the Dublin Zine Fair which will be held in the middle of August in the Chocolate Factory (oh yeah!).  So anyway, I made some books of monoprints and before sewing them up I scanned in some of the prints.  I was going through them today on the computer and started messing and these collages resulted - so that's print - book - scan - collage - ... ?

Dynamic Monochrome

I have a new camera that offers creative settings for photos, in order, I suppose, so that you don't have to go all Photoshop on them.  Some of the settings are quite nasty - 'retro' and 'expressive' in particular do terrible things to your photos but the dynamic monochrome is quite something if you get the right set up.  All of a sudden the kitchen counter is transformed from beige to seedy.

Vivienne Westwood

I am reading Vivienne Westwood's autobiography.  She is a wonderful woman.  Here is an interview with her from 2014 talking about climate change, fashion, art and the world system.

She said that going to art galleries helps climate change by getting you off the treadmill.  It's true.
