Don't know what to think really ...

Post by Bearbonesnorm »

I consider myself creative and enjoy art in many forms but I do have a highly developed practical side that sometimes struggles with art in certain contexts I really can't decide about this. Not knocking it, just not sure quite what to think.

From further down the article:
“I do intend making a project based on the “artist and the bicycle”

Will that be made from 70% recycled thorns?

Do you think any other of us would have heard about this if it was not for the midge element? That's not to deride the artistic value, but everything needs a gimmick to get any publicity.

Well, people can make a go of paper and greetings cards made from sheep poo - and very good they are too http://www.creativepaperwales.co.uk/ - made in the old Aberllefenni slate quarry so even better.

So why not midges indeed? Not very "veggie" for wierdos like me, but I'm sure they're free-range and killed humanely :wink:

Date on the article April 1st perchance?

If you find one, don't use it to light the fire!

We go out into the hills to lose ourselves, not to get lost. You are only lost if you need to be somewhere else and if you really need to be somewhere else then you're probably in the wrong place to begin with.

Only 200 printed with no intention of doing it again. I bet some folk will be taking them home in the hope they'll be worth something one day.
