Mistaken identity?

While at the check out in tesco today I saw an old guy approaching an elderly lady who was sitting on a bench. She had her head turned away from him so when he shouted "a ha" and grabbed her thigh she was more than a little shocked. She turned to face him and he said "oh I am sorry I thought you where someone else".

community artwork update


 this mural was designed and produced by the pupils of trelai primary working with a group pupils from glyn derw comprehensive. each board is 2ft x 4ft. they where designed to be displayed separately or togther as shown.
 i worked with the glyn derw parents group to design and produce some painted elements to brighten up their community room.
this piece was designed and produced by the pupils of michaelston community college working with a group of gcse pupils from michaelston community college.
all these projects where started in janruary of this year and finished at the end of march which is why it's been so quite on my blog. while your here why not cast your eyes over some of my friends blogs.
first is a marie or as i like to call her 'the main dane' i used to work with marie at arts factory, she's a super talented graphic designer/photographer, she's at http://www.mariepalbom.wordpress.com/. lots of cool stuff to look at there.
second we've got sara, sara used to be one of my neighbours in cardiff. she's writing a great blog but also makes really good short films (one of which i still get nightmares about) find her at http://www.20000herz.blogspot.com/ 
third theres nathan, me and nathan lived together while we where in college in llanelli, we had some great times. funny to think all that stuff happened in the ninties, what it's called now the 'teenies'? anyway he doing some sharp/smooth artwork at http://www.antcreations.blogspot.com/

Yummy

My daughter had her first go at drinking out of a lid-less cup this afternoon to varying degrees of success. While she did manage to drink at least half of the water she dropped feta cheese into what was left creating what I'm now calling 'cheese water' which she promptly drank.

It's about time

My son just slipped a whoopee cushion onto my chair as I was about to sit down, I've never been more proud. I've been pretty busy lately but I'm going to post some new work pics here in a few days, maybe some images from my sketch book too.

"Uurghhh this isn't very tasty". My son after the first mouth full of the pasta, pesto and pine nuts I'd made for tea.

why is it that those who drive school busses feel the need to set their route number displays to 666? they can't all be satanists can they? is this just a south wales thing or do they do this further afield? the pic on this post is a portrait i made using pearler beads, it something i've wanted to do for ages but never got round to it. can you guess who it is?

brain farts

i've spent a great deal of time over the last few years trying to teach my children that it's really dangerous to put money in their mouths. so i must have been having some kind of brain fart when i bought my son a bag of chocolate coins yesterday.
