"Goodbye my Eskimo Friend" zine; part of my leaving present for Alison (who is going to Chile for a year) along with two 'where's wally?' books (for the journey), a dream catcher and a Scotland shot glasses (both things that she collects)

dream denim

i guess i have kind of been wanting to create the perfect denim jacket for a few years now, i think a perfect denim jacket is probably an important thing to have but it hasn't really been going well in so much as i haven't even found The Jacket yet although i thought maybe i had found it a few weeks ago but i had no money so i didn't like to try it on to find that it WAS perfect and then not be able to afford it for months by which time it would more likely than not have been sold already. anyway, inspiration follows:

jordan catalano patch - badges - floral/any pattern - cassie ramone's jacket - will smith's jacket in the fresh prince of bel air (also maybe beads but maybe then it would be too busy)

things to do when it is sunny/things to do when it is rainy zine

a purposeful march, up down up down through supermarket isles. other's pushing past as i march, 'excuse me' 'sorry' 'excuse me' 'sorry'. as i look round at my passers by one by one they lose their heads; the heads, they do not fall to the ground they do not leave a trace, they just vanish. then, just as quick as they had vanished, the heads reappear however not on the heads of their previous owners but instead on the shelves of the shop. before long my head too is relocated to the supermarket shelf. silky hair, perfect teeth, long eye-lashes, pink lips, high cheek bones, sculpted eyebrows: these are the heads at the front of the shelves. big teeth, pointy ears, thin dry lips, chubby cheeks: these heads are put on lower shelves where people don't look. thinking heads, dreaming heads, science heads, literature heads, philosophy heads, diy heads: these heads are at the very back. out of sight out of mind.

midgey bites, itchy skin, stingy eyes, jittery teeth, pricey pints, 2am car parks, photos of boys, wiggly heads, dad rock, dominos pizza, smelly toilets: i am tired.
