I forgot to add in the last post that one of my flatmates is an EMEDIA artist. I did try to publish a link to his blog on the side of my blog, but it just didnt work for me. Ill keep trying (although with luck he'll read this, and do it for me -sooo lazy!), but until then here is his address: http://www.moax.net/blog
But before you emerse yourself in these new art methods at his blog, here is some old media stuff -a couple of charcoal and pastel drawings of Pip
These two are part of a larger 3.5x1.5m drawing (above and below)
This one below is a triptich -each about 90x70cm

I've recently moved into a large share house with 4 other students -2 of whom are computer geeks. Ive never really thought of flatmates as assets, but Im seeing the benefits of choosing them carefully. In the past, Ive considered their material goods only -I have a wok, a couple of frypans, a few manky saucepans, wait for it... an espresso machine, tv.... (you get the picture); therefore in my flatmates, I expect some plates, cutlery, some music etc.
Now, my ideas on assets have changed. I have recently relived the joys of my childhood with a Nintendo Emulator that one of my flatmates has helped me download from the net. The Super Nintendo is no longer material in two senses:
1. It has no physical presence (at least, those that work dont...), it exists only as a funky image of itself on my desktop. It cannot be dropped, broken or dirtied; it takes up no space (fantastic for a space deprived student!); and if it stops working I just download another one.
2. Thanks to the generosity of so many computer geeks, who share the same affection for Super Mario 3, this Super Nintendo console is not for sale. I have been introduced to the world of share ware (please correct me if I have spelt it incorrectly) through my flatmates, and am amazed at this phenomenon that has sprung up. Ive bungled my way through the ROM thing, and have accidently wiped out whole worlds while trying to type in cheat codes (I honestly havent a clue... but Im learning). But one day I dream of creating my own Mario World - a world where Mario has changed into Dog form, and kills the cats, rats and scats... in order to rescue the beautiful Jack Russel Terrier Prince at the end! Ahhhh...
