Reporting from the World of Roundabouts

By -

It's been a very busy couple of weeks as I have relocated to the wonderful world of roundabouts: Milton Keynes. In among all the chaos however, I found a little time to draw. I was inspired by Pascal Campion, who's blog and daily drawings have always been a bit of an inspiration to me. I decided only to stick with the stick man esque drawing so as to not to lose the original poses. I really have fond feelings for the drawing on the right, as this was inspired by my last week working for my uncle as his child minder. 
As well as that, I had the opportunity to work as a production assist for Marco's Little Black Book, which you can find here on Youtube which was an absolute joy to work on and I hope I'm asked again. I met a bunch of inspiring people, who were more concerned with quality over quantity.

On an extra note, I have started watched the second series of Channel 4's Black Mirror - I am officially disturbed, Charlie Brooker's three part saga of stand alone dark satires of our obsession with technology. Definitely need to at least watch the first one "Be Right Back" It was beautifully pieced together and horrendously uncomfortable to watch. 9/10

War Hero

We had a solider living across the road from me when I was growing up. Saving many during the war even though we lost. New regimes immediately followed like a virus, sweeping a broken country to serve a new government. People like him were tucked away, lucky to not be a prisoner of war. He stayed hidden in plain sight, keeping his thoughts and opinions to himself; he like most were lucky to have his body as intact as his brain. Maybe it was why he never tried to defend us all again.... My brother was eleven when he was shot outside his front lawn. Murdered on the spot by corrupt police. I remember standing on the other side of the street with my parents; they were screaming for justice, but what is justice now but only a burning reminder of what the war cost us. He spoke to me, only once. “ Am I as hated as it appears?” he asked, standing at a bus stop consuming a cigarette. Worn and thin, battered down by this new life, skin like old milk and bags under glass eyes

Hypnotic And Rather Spooky....

Free Writing 1# Trouble at work. I had to help. Only four hours. It's just a job.  I needed to be more presentable. Trouble with my appearance.  Why is my hair blue? Where have you all gone? Help.  I'm lost, you're lost. Blue.  Photographers everywhere why? Free Writing 2# If I could climb, I think I can see the star. So bright above me. Close but almost out of reach. I need the star. It calls for a wish. I need to find some height, a ladder, chair, there's nothing but the dark, looming. I hear voices. Dangerous voices. I need the star to survive. So I can go home. I hope I can go home...the star is dying out - I'm just out of reach now, reach! then gone. Dark.  **** Creative writing left me buzzing yesterday even though there were only four members (even our leader was missing!) but we did get to try something that I have never tried before. Free writing. A way of writing almost mindlessly and letting your brain wonder. It's a little like being

Not Quite Casper The Friendly Ghost...

Hello guys and girls! I hope you're all well. I wanted to write to wave my hand to say I'm still here, just a busy bee. Currently I'm working on a few different ideas for a play/short film due to a brief we were given last week at creative writing by an ex media practice student and it's set my pants on fire with creativity. It has to be based around an invention, and so name for my invention is currently a "psi-transducer" and if all goes well I'll let you know more about it soon! Also, on another note I'm working at current as a script editor for a marketing film being made for the business "Nazcar Networks" with my flatmate Jamie Iles. Life sure does keep me busy! Here's a question for you: What books/films/plays remind you of Christmas? Mine is the Muppets Christmas Carol, and the BFG animated film due to having both films recorded on VCR. Speak to you soon!
