Jigsaw project

The jigsaw project which has changed from moving the town of Frome to Holcombe quarry as it is a hole in the Mendips bigger than Frome, 12 inch cube swaps. First fitted really well as bath stone is soft and easily sculpted. The project was dropped. However, we have decided that, taking the odd blinfold airrifle shot at the map of Frome, locating the spot, cutting out a cube and swapping it with a mapped out relative cube of ground in the quarry on occassion isnt a bad idea. Unfortunately, some arent good shots. This piece came from Bath, a really poor shot. We got the cube and swapped today. The odd switched cube of reality cant do much harm. Our Hi Viz kit is looking a bit crappy though and perhaps a limit of twelve cube shifts is advisable before they get on to us.

Sorry

I am sorry skreeworld blog has been a bit lacking of late in excitement. No excuses. Got a bit wrapped up in The Best British Wizard competition. Today began with a fresh coat of oil to my table then me and Tex went off to the forest to climb trees to cut off oak antlers for a new piece for the Brisol exhibition. The Sin van broke down in Sainsburys carpark causing a crash as the accelerator cable snapped. Mag, like a guardian angel came and fixed it. Set off for Bath to see Kip who helped me on the jigsaw project. I am giving him the Sin Van for all his help in his commitment to the church of skreeworld. Had a quick dusk shooting session before going out drinking and talking politics with David Oldfield, perhaps Britains best cabinet maker, technically. Devon tommorrow to get a new van. Leeds saturday. London monday tuesday and the Fall in Frome friday. Here is the Kip in all his glory atop moortown watertower with me. He has contributed, fearlessly to skreeworld madcap schemes more than any other with only camaraderie in adventure as reward.

Leeds Rhinos beat Wigan and then Saints in the Grand Final!

They are tucked away but Fromes public art works piss on the 'Angel of the North'

Jesse Garon Presley

The official story goes that Elvis twin brother was still born. Named after Jessie, Elvis' grandfather, was buried in an unmarked shoebox as the family couldnt afford a marker for his grave at Priceville Cemetery. There is a marker at Graceland though the body was never found. Skreeworld are off to Tupelo to unearth the remains should they exist. Our belief is he never died , all the stories are propaganda. Jesse lives. Jesse lives

Marc Quinn

Most of my artist friends don't like Marc Quinns' work. I don't know why. He was quite important for me in retaking an interest in insider art, something I had totally lost interest in Art in the London gallery sense until the Young British Artists 2 exhibition at Saatchis old gallery up by the cricket ground. They had those Sarah Lucas Sunday Sport pieces, a sort of steam installation, an ice room, Richard Wilsons' 20 50 oil piece and Quinns latex body skins and, of course, the show stealer 'Self', his first blood head. The ultimate self portrait. He does one every 5 years now. The exhibition got me reinterested in art and I've followed on and off since. He had a good day today. Big piece in the Guardian magazine and a piece in the Telegraph. He doesn't always get it right and he isn't in my top 5 artists but I do like his things.
The day deteriorated when Leeds United lost, Leeds RL looked like they were going to lose so I went out to shoot a rabbit. Failed. Got rained off. However Leeds RL did pull it round and are still in with a chance of a decent play off place.
