Fuck The Real World. I'm An Artist: Volume 3

This edition of FTRWIAA was a collaborative effort. I live with two great roommates (Darryl and Lesley) and this was the result of a "quiet" night at home... Hope you enjoy it in all it's random glory!

The Greatest Album You Will Never Own

Here's a fun little meme courtesy of Diacritical Hit...

3. The third picture in Flickr's Interesting Photos From The Last 7 Days will be your album cover.

4. Use your graphics programme of choice to throw them together, and post the result.

Fuck The Real World. I'm An Artist: Volume 1

Sometimes when I get bored, I like to pretend I'm an artist. Unfortunately, I'm just a hack with a creative streak. The result of which is the following. Forgive me.

Rock | Paper | Scissors : 1st Edition

When I'm not on the web reading geeky tech news or brushing up on the latest techniques in exploiting new media, I like looking at art. Or as you may know it - pretty pictures. There is so much great work out there that it would be impossible to show it all. However, from time-to-time (notice my non-committal attitude... I'm working on that) I thought it might be fun to feature three different artist's work that I find compelling. Feel free to share your opinions, share your links and please, save your applause til the end. Enjoy!
