I do lots of different 'projects' due to my short attention span.

where's your degree from? glesga?

No, Cumbria institute of the arts (CIA ) It was the only interdiciplinary course I was interested in (If I'd gone to Glasgow I would have had to specialize and due to my aforementioned attention span I'd've gone mad doing painting for 4 years) Though I did do 2 projects at Glasgow in third year.

Plus because I was self funded doing the degree in England worked out cheaper as the degree takes 3 years instead of 4.
As an added bonus that meant I had to pick an extra class in year 1 and 2, fisrt year I did creative writing and second year I did musical composition for performance. That was awesome, the end of year assessment was a gig. Class.

true. i went to edinburgh and specialised in illustration. i narrowly avoided the painting department, that's what i wanted to do in first year but thank fuck i didn't. every single person i know who did it hated it and thought it was a complete waste of an education. phew!

but i liked illustration enough to go back and do a masters, even though it was basically printmaking and digital work i was doing. it was quite an open department thankfully.

I have a short attention span. It must be catching.

I pretty much did an entireley new thing every project so I would have been screwed if I'd done painting. I'm thinking of a masters to do some more printmaking.

where might i be able to procure one of these?

These are all one off pieces (apart from the dinosaur) if you know what king of thing you're looking for drop me a pm.

i think i speakfor alot of shortscalers when i say.
MAKE SOME SHIT, AND SELL IT IN THE CLASSIFIEDS!

make a shortscale one!

Teh kurtdz???

Seriously though, these are really good.

I have a waiting list right now so I don't have anything available to sell. I might try to pick up a couple of pots and knobs and make a 'pedal' one with control knobs for eyes....

Dude these are awesome, I wish I could make a living off something like this.

COLLABORATION

Sounds like a plan. I'll have to figure something to use that can take a stomping....

Indeed.

I can also sort you out with some knobs/pots to play around with if you want?

When I have a free afternoon I'll start work on something and if it'll work I can send it to you to install a something easy into, I could put a miniamp in the head or something..... This could get interesting.

A booster or something would work, but that would likely only have one volume control. I could do a Boost with a Master volume so you can get some dirt out of it, if we were doing "eyes" as the controls.

Sounds cool. Hmm jack sockets placement could be funny.

hahah

Future project idea, fuzz with a dirt control on the bum.
