One way to do it would be have elastic string running through sections of wood or plastic which you could pull in order to make them fly up or down, or just leave in a semi-rigid state, much like those wooden string figures that are sort of flexible- do you know what I mean? Those toys can always bend about a bit, but keep a basic, strong shape.

I thought that might be the case- I was going to put a picture with it, but I posted that on the university computers, and when I put "string men toys" into Google images, well........ahem.

It doesn't matter anyway, the idea was ridiculous. If you cut a few of those cheap plastic cups into small cone-shapes, glue them one on top of the other, then cover them with blue tights, that'd probably work way better and isn't nearly as stupid!

Mammals are hard to draw, but I had a go at drawing a meerkat because they're fantastic! Here's himself:

(Click for bigger!)

And here's a blurry phone photo of him in his glass taxidermy prison (link), in case you'd like to compare the meerkat.

Seeing as we got to record some tracks I thought I may aswell throw 'em up in this thread. You can listen to the songs and download them for free if you like

Mushy

I asked in the Den thread, but can somebody please do me a very quick photoshop job? It involves removing the background from a section of picture and changing the writing from white to black. Need it so can get the t-shirt made up

If no one has done it for you I could take a go at it.

Pseudynym

One day you bury her
Under cement.

You don't dig a hole
Its more of a shroud of grit and dirt and water
The edges aren't even.
There are stray strands of hair
Glinting in the dust.
Ants crawl up through the cracks
Something about a messenger ant
Someone told you once
But it seemed like pop science.

Wind like party streamers
Rips past you
But you are falling silent
As one does
With these kinds of things.

You are waiting for the reward you were promised.
But you have buried her
Under the thick,wet dust
Under the cement
And you can't quite remember
Her face or what she wore
You can't quite remember
Who to look for.

Ungrateful Bitch

I look up at my face and theres
A plough where my voice
Should be.
Ripping up the mucous, meat of my
Old, old throat.

As my sounds clatter up
And out, my jaw like a safe
Of bone
And my tongue
Bleeds for the bite.

I feel my ribs turn into walls
And my lungs like bread in my chest cavity
My breasts heave, fat of unmade milk
And I am trying
So hard
To stay calm.

I'm trying so hard
To be grateful
Forgiving
Compassionate
Patient
Everything
I'm not really sure you deserve.
I'm trying so hard
To ball up my rage, hate
Till its tiny and dense
And my heart breaks for the strain.

Foil

I wrap my name up in paper foil
Like a dirty, expensive meat.
It is like a swear
And I swaddle it
Tight in the wispy metal.

Soft and spoiled it lives deep in
Corners of freezers
Like a miscarriage
Never spoken
Bloodied it whispers to me
And I am sorry.

Eyes roam well worn walls
And faces and voices
I thought I knew well
Look at me.
I am soft and tainted
I am a con
And I am sorry.

Colm!

I've finally finished my series of poems "the cycle".
http://asisaidiwould.blogspot.com/2010/09/cycle-ending.html
^each of the names of the months in that poem is a link to a poem written with the name of that month.

Twelve poems and the ending piece. I've been working on it on-and-off for ages (the original idea was back in February, I only started doing it with any intent to finish it in July, and even then I put very little effort into finishing it anywhere near punctually)

I realised that what I had written weren't verses, but lines, making a crappy joke even worse.

So, just some old machinery, maybe a plough, not sure. I know it's kinda blurry too, went a bit OTT with some effects but I'm actually happy enough with it.:P






and my first/failed attempt at a panorama, pretty big so I'm just gonna attach it.

Hey guys, as you may or not know, I like to produce my own music in my spare time.

I have two tracks up on soundcloud at the moment including one I uploaded just a few minutes ago.

Line drawing of rubbish I did for college.

Banjo Fella

That's absolutely amazing! So much going on in that drawing, it's mind-boggling. Love the texture lines in the bits of wood, and the folds in fabric. Very impressive stuff!

Jamie Starr

Here's two I did this very night.




(In case anyone's wondering what's in her hand, it's a mirror. I also just noticed I forgot to add her other fingers, oh well!)

Pygmalion

Got bored and wrote this.
it basically goes through code written in C, and highlights/colours it.

It's fairly awfully written, as I kinda just hacked it together while bored/sleep-deprived, but it seems to work (as long as the input itself doesn't have errors in it, it can crash then).

Obligatory picture of it in action (highlighting its own code, for meta-coolness).

That is incredible. How long did it take you to do?


By the way, is it allowed to post music in this thread?

Yup! Posts #31 and #104 have music. I'll post up my one and only recorded song in a while.

If I get some decent way to record it, I'll put up some video of me on guitar.

Jayzus, it's been two years since I made this! :eek:

Not quite sure if it counts as being creative, seeing as it mostly involved rearranging Nintendo-drawn sprites that are as old as I am... but I made me a new sig!

Better include it, just so this post continues to make sense should the sig itself disappear at some stage.

Rush Hour
I worry that I have crossed a horizon
A thread of parallax errors
That creeps up on you
Like dusk

In an emptying city.
Men and women catch packed buses
Out into the foggy mess of suburbia.
A woman look out at the terminus
And waits.
Her eyes clawing out into a silence full of cars and raw cold.
Our hands knit tightly into our arms
We look away and say nothing.

A bus pulls up, out and it is night
A thousand faces that could be familiar
Lost behind the plastic, leaking windows.
They are in a hurry
And then they are gone.

Flickers
The thaw echoes like a rainstorm
Clattering to the potholed ground
In a lane
Framed with camouflaged entrances,

I am deafened.
She is an impossible answer.
She is the corner
Off which this flooded alley turns
Into blindness.

I look on and search for conversation
Suitable for this threshold.
My awkward terror
And the instantaneous locking of eyes
Like drawing swords.
Makes me wonder
If you are also reeling from your senselessness
At the other end of this lane
Craning your neck round
To see past the wet blockwork
In this winter rainstorm
In this city full of wary promise.
