Arty Bastard
I remember being called that in school…“you arty bastard” was a popular enough refrain if you weren’t always up for a bit of a ruck, a game of football or some vandalism. Vandalism was always appealing though and to this day I still often wonder how well things would burn if I just had the time to torch them. luckily that was just a phase (burning things) that I’ve nearly grown out of. As for the arts – I confess a song, a good book, photography, architecture or (some) paintings still give me a better buzz than too much alcohol or a night in front of the TV. Not being in a proper writing sort of mood today leads to me to post some images – so with a dose of lazyblogitis here are some Clash (and one other) images for your sensory pleasure or critique.
First up – from the Mick Jones collection – the other figurines have now been painted: (all created by Japanese artist Nob)
Last Cat in Town
Then we have the Clash City Kitty (courtesy flickr) apparently named ‘Mrs Bitey’
Then on ebay there’s some nice Strummer canvas art. They have a great selection to choose from but this is my favourite.
Fantastic!
This collection would look great in my office…(hint)
Just because....
Signing off in arty bastard mode – this amazing construction near Columbus Ohio is essentially a basket masquerading as an office building, I believe Catherine exposed me to this. Finally – don’t forget Joe Strummer’s 57th birthday recognition this Friday and if you can please send a tribute. Cheers ~
