Ideas ideas ideas

So we Had an idea for a gig to raise funds... but alas a blood drive was decided upon instead.

What an utter load of tripe... who's bright idea was that? No1 you are no allowed to profit from blood donation and No2 "its going to raise funds for our exhibition" is still profiting.

Having said that I'm hopeful I can raise some monies somewhere to contribute.

a monument to creative failure

It's my birthday today and I've been looking at art... what else would i be doing?

Michael Landy has created an Art Bin. A 600m2 clear bin which artists are encouraged to donate work to be well... bined!

Tis proving popular even Damien Hurst has donated a print of his diamond encrusted skull, workth about £100, 000.
