Today was such a busy day, and the evening was worse. Meh.
Just a grab shot really. When I got home I did a quick trot to the Chemists to see if my prescription was ready.
It was. I rattle. :)
interactive sculpture at the Eden Project, Cornwall. If you pull the rope, the sculpture rocks to and fro.
I'm going to a Fringe Festival performance this evening. I've bought tickets for about half a dozen shows and bought 'fringe addicts price' tickets. So this lunch time I went out to buy my fringe addict card. The booking office is in Cuba Street, quite a long walk from my office. But today they have a sales bike on the waterfront near Wagamama, just down the road from my office. They were giving out Fringe Festival brochures and were surprised when I walked straight up to them and asked to buy and addicts card.

The Nurse Maude Hospice Shop on Papanui Road in Merivale, Christchurch. I had heard that 'op shops' in well-to-do areas were a good place to shop because you can find very good quality clothes that have hardly been worn. In the three weeks I've been here I have bought quite a few items from here, including a lovely silk skirt for $8.

On September 21st, more than 100 volunteers joined WellLife Network to beautify program locations across New York City and Long Island.
First week's theme in Project Run & Play, a remix of a circle skirt.
Each hero in my comic strip is appliqued onto the skirt... to see my tutorial and more photos check out my blog here:

I chose the wrong time to walk to the library from my office this lunchtime. Just as I got out onto the street the Victoria University Graduation Parade was going by. It took me ages to get through the crowds of people lining the street, cheering on and photographing their loved ones.

The road is full of bumps. Ups and downs. It's the way it should be. It's expected. Like deep ruts etched out in the corner of a back water unmentionable you couldn't even find on a map, or a GPS, let alone navigate at speeds in excess of 40mph. It's all a part of the ride. It's just expected. We go up, and we feel alive. It's a hell of a lift. Then we go down. And like the death plunge that immediately fallows cresting the summit of a rollercoaster, we are suddenly filled with an urge of not only distress but concern, as parts of our higher brain function grasp the lack of gravity, and scream forth "Oooooooh, I do not like this!"
Ready or not. Here we go...Ready or not, we go down. Right smack dab into the middle of the unknown. It's what we should be prepared for.
And for the life of me...I wasn't prepared for this.
...And now, we wait...

An image from a project I did exploring the notion of alter ego's and presenting the self in different ways. My Lucy alter ego revolves around the idea of a person that is jaded and has her head up in the clouds, basking in her surroundings. Starring: S.S
This picture didn't turn out at all like planned. It also has too many bubbles and not enough glitter, but I'll make do.
I was out taking photos for MCP Project 52, of snow and berries. This bus sped by and I took a shot, without refocusing or checking exposure. No time for that. Even though I loved my berries image, this fits the theme even more. Soothing repetition... every day when the door closes and my twins get on the bus for school... Know the feeling? Check the bus drivers expression.
Here is my berries shot in case you wanted to see what did not make this week... www.flickr.com/photos/mcpactions/5393973599/
#294 of 365 Daily Drawings
Inspiration: a doodle while I was on the phone, on hold.
Result: NUTS
Materials: Sakura Micron 005 in a Stillman & Birn Epsilon series sketchbook
Location: Home
Note: Ages ago I'd made a note for myself to draw words with squirrels...while trapped in automated answering service hell. In that context...a lot of strange ideas makes sense.
Very simple drawing today....my hands ache from weeding yesterday and gripping a pen/pencil is just not something I can do for long.

He took it out on my vintage camera at the time. Wolverine was my subject for the 365 day project of my blog. He sadly went missing on a photoshoot and this brought the project to an end at day 64.

Thanks for watching.

For more information on, or to join The Crisis Project, visit: www.crisisproject.com
The Crisis Project was named after the interpretation of the definitions of the word Crisis:
“A stage in a sequence of events at which the trend of all future events, esp. for better or for worse, is determined; turning point “
“A condition of instability, or danger, as in a social, economic, political, or international affairs, leading to decisive change.”
“A dramatic emotional or circumstantial upheaval in a person’s or people’s existence.”
The goal of The Crisis Project is to alter people’s perception of ‘the suburbs’, while both encouraging artists to use the public space as their canvass, and to create a sense of fear within the affected communities for those who don’t understand.
The Suburbs have the undeniable connotation of: “white picket fences, and safe community living for all.” Those who live here by choice do so to: either escape the negative aspects of city dwelling, or to move out of the country in search of a more connected lifestyle. Those who are born here, who grow up in ‘Suburbia’ don’t see their surroundings as an escape, but as a prison of town parks and strip malls.
Excluding illuminated store signs and the odd billboard, the suburbs are devoid of any visual stimulation, exactly what property owners want, and expect. But this existence, compounded with the many destructive aspects of the suburban youth lifestyle, only intensifies the angst against the powers that be, by starving creativity.
The Crisis Project is the initial attack on the habituated suburban lifestyle, which hopes to both bring together suburban youth to inspire art and creativity, and to initiate the waves of change against the clean walls, and municipal supremacy.
