Watched this video and it reminded me of what i was trying to get across originally in my Info Graphs unit (men are abused too). It's just shocking that people are just standing there laughing. Not one single person tried to help the guy but when it was the girl, people jumped in and tried to be heros. Fantastic way to show how messed up people's views are on abuse.

Ughhhhhhhhhh
Everything has been happening all at once. This weekend has flown past. I'm stressing out to the max for several reasons;
1. I applied for a job at my favourite shop ever and my close friend got it. I'm not mad at him (even though I was to begin with as he is unreliable and was recently chucked out of college for not even doing anything (but he is a good friend)) but I'm totally frustrated. I have qualifications, I had volunteer experience, I haven't been employed before though. I need experience to get experience. I have applied for every job that comes up in Hawick (even the mills) and I have yet to have an interview. I'm 20 years old and have never had a bloody interview!!! What the hell is up with that?!
2. I have to decide soon if I want to move to Edinburgh. I was planning on getting a job and moving up to live with friends but since I can't even get a job here, I'm worried about Edinburgh. So I have been thinking that I'll just maybe get a job here, focus on my etsy idea with all the crafty stuff, then move up at a later date if I want to. I'm all over the place with this to be honest.
3. Information Graphics/ FMP. Papermaking is fine, it's pretty much done. FMP has been suffering because of Info Graphs though. Info Graphs is just... taking over everything. I feel like I can't even escape it; I'm even dreaming about it in my sleep (well, more nightmares). Especially for the presentation that I think we have to do. I wouldn't normally be scared but after the last one, I am just totally getting worked up again (remember, the last one through me into another episode). I know I'll be fine, I just have to forget about the last one.
4. I posted a picture of more face paint inspired by the stress of college, my mental health, and the thoughts on the future and I go a lot of people messaging me telling me I "NEED" to go to college and do make up/ special effects. I had thought about it in high school and in first year college, but after all the drama that seemed to follow me I decided that I had given up on education and I just wanted to get on with responsibilities.

It is a bit morbid but fuck it...
After Friday I'm sure I'll feel better. Also, I'm gonna have a few words with people about their opinion on me perhaps applying to Edinburgh's Make Up Artistry course. I've signed up and filled half of it in- just need to put in a personal statement then I can send it away.
I don't know what to dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

Also, I did more facepaint...
I spent my Saturday night in. I did this in under an hour. Just my take on a sugar skull, I was procrastinating from doing work for the course.
I finally got the chance to watch it!
I just finished watching the programme I posted about the other day. It takes you from when the YBA were in college (using an old swimming pool as a studio) to when they broke through in 1997 in their big group show, "Sensation". Gary Kemp comes across really cool and really into what he is talking about.
The first artist spoken about (and to) was Michael Landy. I've known about him for a little while as thhe artist who destroyed all of his belongings. He seemed to shout and talk over Kemp at some points though. Gavin Turk was also interviewed and he came across warmer. I didn't recognise his name or face when he came on screen but I recognised his sculptures. It was really interesting to actually get a feel of what was going on back then from someone who was actually there and involved in the movement.
Emin and Lucas were quickly mentioned. I didn't know they had a shop on Brick Lane (I was there last year- it was awesome) which was interesting. It was a small shop but was open 24 hours over the weekend. I was a bit gutted that Emin wasn't interviewed or more wasn't said about the two of them. It did show a clip of Emin being very drunk and walking off a show. Which I thought was brilliant. I love that she just doesn't give a shit. She just seems to have a "fuck it" attitude and I think it's great.
The programme mostly related things back to Damien Hurst (who is Kemp's favourite).
A few YBA were mentioned that I hadn't even heard of, so I have a little list to check out. Joshua Compston is one of them. He died (at the age of 25) of an overdose, which was a "wake up call" for the other artists.
Jake and Dinos Chapman are also on the list. I have seen their work before but never looked into it more for a name. They create work that is offensive, unsafe, and provocative. Which is kind of what I want to do with my FMP, so I will be looking more into them.
Overall, it is definitely worth watching especially for those doing Exploring Specialist Techniques.
