BIG NEWS! Lucky enough to land a mentor: James Dive from The Glue Society. If you don't know of him you've been living under a rock...a rock under the sea....even the little mermaid knows of him. He's part of a creative collective which can be seen here: thegluesociety. They do crazy stuff like this:
And this:
And this:
Why do they do such things? GO WATCH THE VIDEO!
Did I mention you can find them here: THEGLUESOCIETY
I stumbled across these guys years ago researching for something related to something of which I can't remember. They're quirky, funny, clever etc. Essentially that is why I like their work. I am a little design-struck. Is that a thing? Being impressed by people who design? Is there a name for that? I'll just leave it as Star-struck.
Anyway. Back to the presentation. Despite time restrains, no air-con, flickering "sensor" lights and a bad case of no-one turning up at the right time, it ran on time. It was my intention to write a bit of a speech in the break before class, but it ended as dot-points - I didn't really use them. At all. Once I got a few pages from my brief on the projector, and a video up, I came up some pretty impressive inprov. Basically judging from the "criteria" we got in our outlines I talked about Concept, Mentor, Precedents, Solutions and Next Step. Not mind blowing stuff, but my winning personality made up for it. That and stepping away from the damn computer. But seriously: thegluesociety
Its almost midnight. Im not really sure of what else I should add. And this strange contemporary-hillbilly music is playing so Im going to leave it for tonight. Or today. Perhaps another day. Or two.
Its Easter. Go eat until you're left rolling around on soft furnishings like a walrus or sea lion. HAPPY EASTER. Is that the right salutation? Maybe. Here's another: happy easter
....Bet you knew that was coming.
