//BACK TO ANALOGUE
I like the idea of using old equipment to make contemporary images, sounds and artwork.
I don't think I would call these guys mavericks though.

//OBEY
I want to do some sort of poster, sticker, paste up campaign. This was my original idea that has yet to materialise. I mentioned The XX poster campaign earlier. I didn't mention the OBVIOUS example, OBEY.
Andre the Giant Has a Posse
Andre the Giant Has a Posse is a street art and viral marketing campaign based on a design by Shepard Fairey created in 1989 in Providence, Rhode Island. Distributed by the skater community, the stickers featuring an image of André the Giant began showing up in many cities across the U.S.A.[citation needed] At the time Fairey declared the campaign to be "an experiment in phenomenology."[1] Over time the artwork has been reused in a number of ways and has become worldwide, following in the footsteps of World War II icon "Kilroy Was Here". At the same time, Fairey altered the work stylistically and semantically into the OBEY Giant.
//GUERILLA AD CAMPAIGN TYPE THING... I DUNNO
Sooooo... I've deviated from my original plan... again. What I was intending to do a few weeks ago was work towards creating a kind of 'Guerilla advertising campaign' for myself. This would involve creating a logo, posters etc that would lead people to something, possibly a website, with a video and some music. I think there is still time do this... hopefully I can.
Here are some examples
"Capitalising on the critical and public acclaim of ‘xx’, their label Young Turks/XL ran a shrewdly simple, ‘guerrilla’ ad campaign at the beginning of 2010. A stark black background with nothing but a single, white, sans-serif, block bold, lower case ‘x’. It made for a thoroughly distracting poster campaign on the tube (how many phones store photos of those ads I wonder?) but it was even more striking on the telly. That ‘x’ was beamed into UK living rooms for 10 silent seconds during a Skins ad break on E4 in February: quite literally cutting through the noise of the increasingly schizophrenic (by turns patronising and parodying) yoof programming."

Aphex Twin's Face - Spectrographic Imagery in Music
The ghosts in the music! You hear the music(watch the video), you will...
"Recalling talk of visuals embedded in a track by electronic experimentalist Aphex Twin, Bastwood decided to take a closer look.
First I needed to extract the track from the Windowlicker CD, which was easy with CDex. The extraction of the whole track was not really necessary because the "face" is situated at the very end of the track, starting from the 5:27 mark and lasting for about 10 seconds. There are other "audio images" on this particular track as well (and one at the end of the first track), but the face is certainly the most exciting of them all.
After I had the wav-file, I used a program called Spectrogram to visualize the file. To my amazement, it worked, and I was soon staring at the 'demon' face."

THERE MUST BE BETTER EXAMPLES THAN THIS. I'LL BE BACK.

//BIRTHDAY PRESENT
Got the Cutting Edges book. It's pretty rad. Lot's of inspiration to be had there I'm sure.
//BIRTHDAY VIDEO
Yesterday I turned 25. We went to the beach. I filmed some stuff. I made some videos.

//MICHELLE PLAYS PING PONG
This Anthony Burrill collaboration with Paul Plowman and Malcolm Goldie is very very very much inspiring me to make a totally rad video. Love it.
//RECYCLING PAGES
I haven't got an A4 pad with me and I have decided I don't need one. This project is about re-using old, found, lost objects and images, so the pages of 'THE LIVING WATERS' have become my canvas.
Hmmmm, which one shall I pick next?

//DEVELOPING MY OWN ILLUSTRATIONS
After cutting out about a million pictures, pages and shapes I have started creating my own collages. These are all A4 and the aim is to make about 100 in total, both digital and analogue to be made into a nice thick book. That's my aim anyway. I'll also be using the same images to make a motion collage video. Most of the pieces below are a bit rough I think... still warming up and a need some more art supplies.
//MUSIC CONCRETE
Musique concrète (French for "concrete music" or "real music") is a form of electroacoustic music that utilises acousmatic sound as a compositional resource. The compositional material is not restricted to the inclusion of sounds derived from musical instruments or voices, nor to elements traditionally thought of as "musical" (melody, harmony, rhythm, metre and so on). The theoretical underpinnings of the aesthetic were developed by Pierre Schaeffer, beginning in the late 1940s.

As well as mashin' up pictures I hope to mash up some sounds as well innit.
This man knows what i'm talkin' about.
Alternatively i'll ask my man Joe Farley to do it.

//OLD PHOTO WEBSITES
There a few websites dedicated to lost old photos. They are pretty fascinating. I need to find some more of my own, I don't want to steal any off the internet. IT'S JUST NOT THE SAME!
//WEIRD OLD PHOTOS
Here are some photos bought in various antique shops in Hay-on-Wye and Leominster.
Be warned, some might give you nightmares.
