WONKY IS GOOD

After a good chat with Paul I'm planning on going round Clarkston (where I live) and Glasgow and "creating a voice for myself" through grafitti (legal of course) and little white stickers. 100 photographs, here I come. Spent hours tonight printing off words and phrases I want to use and cutting them out to make stencils so I'm interested to see how that will work tomorrow (it's a bit dark and cold tonight). Woop woop.

















I'm going to have to think more about my choice of words and the setting together because I keep just thinking about any word and any place but it's not adding up together. I also maybe need to think about colours of spray paint/pen I use if I want to make more of an effect with it. I love it when I notice a billboard for example, that says something really funny on it. There is a billboard down the road from my house, next to the train station and it advertises bread and the slogan is "WONKY IS GOOD....never trust a symmetrical loaf". (I'll photopgraph it and pap it on here asap.) To be honest I noticed this straight away and found it so funny. I find it interesting how you can communicate to people through billboards and that's the thing I'd like to achieve.

I'm actually so excited about these photo's but I'm worried they aren't going to look as good as I'm expecting them too but we shall wait and see.
