Alan Aldridge at Design Museum

The event has closed already, but I went to see Alan Aldridge at Design Museum. So the image of Alan Aldridge is basically the Beatles..but I hadn’t looked at his art works in detail. It was amazing, the more you looked at, the more you find detailed elements. You can find a lot of things inside such a small painting. By the way, he is an art director for the band called “Incubus” and designed their jacket, and it looks there was “i dig incubus” contest…I don’t know much about the contest, but there was an artwork for that displayed […]

Chinese new year, Snow.

I went to see Chinese New Year event with my friends on Sunday. Wow…lots of people…one bad thing being in the UK is that I can’t see anything once I go into a crowd…everyone is much taller than me. I couldn’t see the dragons, so I bought a small dragon instead…Cute…I can be patient with this. It was a bit strange weather, it was snowing while I could see the sun. And today I found it when I woke up! Wow…trains and buses have stopped…I can’t go to uni… I heard there was little snow in London though. It’s so […]

Tokyo Day

As I heard there will be an event about Japan, I went to have a quick look after shopping. “Origami”, “calligraphy”, “Koma” and “Robots”, there were lots of “let’s try” booth, and there were lots of people as well. At “Tea Ceremony” corner, I saw some British people showing slightly curious looks, and shitting in Japanese style (=seiza). They looked so cute. This event was organised by Tokyo, but I wondered if they always call volunteers. If so, I want to help them next time! By the way, Shishimai was performing at the stage. A woman was playing the flute […]

Google may harm your computer.

“A Chinese company launched Red-ray disc to compete with Blu-ray disc”… hearing such an interesting news by my friend, I was googling the keyword. But suddenly, google started to show “This site may harm your computer” message on every single search result. “What!? Did I get any virus or something!?!?!?” I felt a bit anxious, but found out that it was a problem of google side. It has recovered already, but I captured a screen because it was so funny. Don’t be too harsh to yourself, google…

Input > Output = Enrichment – Satisfaction

It’s been about 2 weeks since a new project started, and as I started a new course as well, my brain capacity is over flowing. But the project is really fun, and I feel enrichment, but I can’t feel satisfaction yet. Also my physical condition is not good, so mentally I’m feeling down…sigh. I’m still so weak. In my case, once I start worrying, not only that I can’t do my job really well, but also I can’t sleep no matter how tired I am. I should be a bit careful… So, I should try another day. And it’s weekend. […]

I’m gonna be a business person!

Err…it’s about a part-time course which I enrolled on the other day. I heard I can do other courses apart from my main course. As it is an art college, they have a lot of different courses such as Photography, Video, Music, Printing, Design etc… Since I heard that courses related to digital media is mainly the basic of software, I excluded them from the choice. At first I was thinking of taking photography…. but well, it doesn’t cost, so maybe I can take something which I’m really not good at (= unlikely to pay for the course even in […]
