self portrait made of frozen blood anyone ?

Marc Quinn's self portrait is literally a portrait of him. 10 pints of his frozen blood in the shape of his face contained in a refrigerator unit to be precise. There are a few of these sculptures titled 'Self' and there are yet more to come as he intendeds to create a new one every 5 years to show the ageing/decaying of a human. I saw this in the national portrait gallery in London and I know its kinda gross but it is my favourite piece there and it just absolutely fascinates me.

 Here is the finished result, may look pretty standard to you but for me this is amazing. It's amazing how sorting through everything in your room and having everything neat and tidy can make you feel better in yourself.

Heres another bad boy of a shoot from Vice style by that babe Sofia Ajram, who I have done a previous post about. Can't beat a bit of witchery, magic and communication with the dead. 

CATHARSIS

I never thought what started out as a general tidy of the old bedroom would turn out into a full blown clear out. I was originally just going to make my room just look presentable, but them I decided to go through all my belongings, in my chest of draws, my wardrobe, under my bed, my desk, my chest, my book shelves. God its been like sorting through my life. I told myself I am going to be ruthless, I have finished school, I am starting college next week (early I know ! stupid art foundation course), I am embarking on new adventures, so I need to get rid of any unnecessary baggage. These photos are mid way through sort out, it's bizarre that my room has got progressively messier the more 'tidying' I have done. Its unbelievable how much stuff I have thrown out , I definitely need to go shopping for some new clothing ! I just need some money now.  I will upload more photots of my bedroom when the renovation is complete.

I love a good abstract portrait !

I soo hope these painting by Summer Wheat (what a name!) are super big. I could imagine staring at these amazing paintings all day long finding new things, new brush strokes, new colours constantly throughout my viewing period. I love the colours, the contrast in paint application, just YUM ! This would be the art I would have on wall if i had my way ! 

Starry, Starry Sky.

Hello check out this little babe of a photo shoot by Vice, I love anything with a dark, mystical, magical vibe. Stars are things to dream on.

When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie . . .

THATS AMORE !
so recent galavanting has taken me to Italy, the region of Le Marche. I stayed in this gorgeous villa with a pool and beautiful views where I spent most of my days engaging in some well deserved relaxation. I then adventured into various towns and cities in the surrounding area to soak up the culture, local wine and yummy food ! Here are a few pics !
