” I guess now it’s time for me to give up
I feel it’s time
Got a picture of you beside me
Got your lipstick mark still on your coffee cup
Got a fist of pure emotion
Got a head of shattered dreams
Gotta leave it, gotta leave it all behind now

Whatever I said, whatever I did I didn’t mean it
I just want you back for good
Whenever I’m wrong just tell me the song and I’ll sing it
You’ll be right and understood ”

take that

goodbye everyone, i was going to upload my t shirt prints, but in true robbie style i didn’t get them finished. so much for going out with a bang.

i really have enjoyed my time as a 30 day artist , it has forced me to stretch my skills and ideas , and work when i didn’t want to, and because of this i have advanced leaps and bounds. i will be sad to stop it has become such a part of my day to day life now , we have had our ups and downs together , though most of the time it has remained at a fairly uniform level.

now for thanks : first and foremost chin yew and ming for selecting me for the oppertunity and giving me guidance and encourgement throughout , even when i didn’t really deserve it.mym mum and dad for respecting my wish of not visiting too often , though i did catch my dad a few times with the old site meter. my sister , brother and strach-o-tron for boosting the daily page views  and questioning me on why i had not posted yet. you the viewer for bothering to look at my work and read my rambles, ( apart from that anoymous bloke and the bloke from around day five , you two can go away ) , anyone who gave me posistive feedback or helpful suggestions , these were real life affirmers, cheers , it means alot. i would also like to thank to a somewhat lesser extent , my art class for their almost unflinching ability to infuriate and baffle me with their complete lack of artistiic knowledge or taste or ideas or techincal skill . ( please , please removing all the colour from pictures of roses except one cannot be a final piece.) which in turn drives me on i think. adam and joe podcasts , music , the internet , thick black markers , inky black pens , erin , crayola , simon mc G ( beritie) , sweeties , sunglasses , best of david bowie 1969 – 74. i think that’s everything so it’s goodbye from me.

goodbye.

much love

robbie

tunes of the day

sorrow – david bowie

heroes- david bowie

see what i done there , though credit where credits due , i did lift the idea from public enemy’s latest album , ” new whirl odour “. first upload is another fairly old oil painting done in the summer i think.

it was just in my room , next is something i actually done today, a poster for a disco , your are welcome to pilfer for your own disco if you want. just make sure you play some bowie.

i would like to take now to thank my toy collection for it’s continuing inspiration…

aswell as my great and talented friend lucas for the same reason. here is some examples of his work….

oh wait , only one is working but you can see his talent , i hope we stay friends forever lucas , you too benen….

love to all

not long….

oh near forgot

tune of the day loves me like a rock by paul simon

have a good one , hopefully see you tomorrow!!

not long left to go , it will be strange without it , it has become part of my daily life , like a cat. today i was on the crayola doing a piece inspired by jean michel basquiat.
.

the other is the man i did a while back , only this time crouching , for a bit nostalgia.

tomorrow i will be going into town in order to buy some plain t shirts.

tune of the day streets of phillydephia by bruce springsteen.

not done yet

hello there !!

only four days left !! t – shirt needs to get made , although im really not sure if i will be able to finish the horrorshow in time . sorry , it just is so time consuming it’s unbelievable . sorry !! you know the way i have to do back up work well today it was the horrorshow, even though it annoys me you have to do prep work after its already finished , saing that , i did come up with some new ideas today , you might have to zoom in to read some of them though.


my tune of the final four days is there there acoustic by radiohead , better in my opinion than the original

love robbie

please be aware that it is very rough , i will porbably change all the text . i recorded the music using voice recorder and did the animation on paint. i kept it pretty old school because i know my roots.

i would love feedback for improvements.

a little thought for today

Exhilaration is the Breeze
That lifts us from the ground,
And leaves us in another place
Whose statement is not found;
Returns us not, but after time
We soberly descend,
A little newer for the term
Upon enchanted ground.

emily dickenson , although some of it’s gravity is removed because i found it on a pete doherty docummentry.

my song for the day is  moving on up by primal scream , i seen your lead singer on some award show ( bobby gillespie ? ) and he had all his hair cut off.

thanks

robbie

i am raging right now , here’s what happenend , i drew a picture whicih i was so proud of . it has just taken me like two hours doing this picture and my animation. (which i will  tell you about in a second) so i go to get the camera to take a picture and upload it , but it’s not there , i think my mum has taken it with her on a work thing, so i’m sorry but i can’t uploada pic today.

i am so tired right now it is a challenge to stay like concious , but before i fade i want to tell you about my animation , i made a rough draft and will put it on youtube tomorrow. when i figure out how you do it.i am doing it frame by frame with ms paint.

night night

robbie

word !!! it’s march 23rd !!!

on the paint again , as you can see. also, here is the last of my thing from yesterdy which i haden’t realised i didn’t upload. 

 well , today was fairly dull.

my tune for today is perfect kiss by new order. i don’t really have anything to say. at all . oh , i found out that walt disney was actually scared of mice.

spooky

robbie

well , you might have guessed , my tune for the day is atomic by blondie, i forgot how good it was whenever it shuffled up i wouls skip any blondie but i decided to give them a chance today, and i’m pleased i did, so my lesson for today would be “give things a chance “or more specifically ” give blondie’s atomic a chance “ 

oh right , my art for to day is abit hard to see so you many have to click on the thumbnail to zoom in to read some of it , basically i was thinking ” what if a mentalist person had a diary? ( good one ruairi ), so then i just got three a4 pages and started sketching what i thought it might look like , then i went up to the library and photocopied them to give them a more authentic feeland just a general nicer quality i think.

 since there’s not too many days left and my sister wanted it my other tune of the day is acceptable in 80′s by calvin harris , also apparenty hes got hugs for me.

bye have a good one

robbie

not very long left now , i found out btw , hair grows at approx half an inch per month but this can vary according to diet and other enviromental factors. we were on the computers in english today to look up stuff but i carpe diemed this chance to do some more art on ms paint.

no one has has yet commented on the t shirt designs ( thanks for that ) so i didn’t do that today, instead i did research on the george orwell novel ” nineteen eighty four ” , the writing is too smal to read probably but on the right hand page is my design for a 1984 book jacket.

my tune for the day would be i love my dog by cat stevens.

night night
