Things Will Be Great When You’re Downtown (A rare smile in the recession)

Vote! Yes! (I will vote)

Vote or die muthafucka, muthafucka vote or die,
Rock the vote or else I’m gonna stick a knife through your eye,
Democracy is founded on one simple rule,
Get out there and vote or I will muthafuckin kill you.

I like this, just the way it looks like an abstract painting.

I love my car
I’ll admit today I’ve gone too far
To enamour myself of my little motor car

Andy Warhol meets Primal Scream

Andy Wahrol-Screamadelica collage

Screamadelica meets Andy Warhol

 

Famous line that make the hairs on many a middle aged person stand on their ends- “Just what is it that you want to do? We wanna be free. We wanna be free to do what we wanna do. And we wanna get loaded. And we wanna have a good time.”

Screamadelica, the iconic album from Scottish rockers Primal Scream is rated by many in the top 10 albums of all time, rated best of all time by Eve Barlow of NME. Screamadelica is the third studio album by Primal Scream, released in 1991 by Creation Records. For me, it’s an uplifting, euphoric journey of love and joy, an album that you can’t but dance to and feel invigorated and have a smile plastered on your face.

The album was produced by Andrew Weatherall and without his influence would have been a much different album.

In this Andy Warhol Screamadelica collage I created what I think would have been a great poster or flyer for a Primal Scream concert.

Seaside, yet still Docked (Galway)

Some pictures from wandering around Galway Docks (sounds seedy, doesn’t it?). It’s a great place for photographing I think- lots of colour, boats old and new, water etc.

Heaven or Las Vegas

In b. Abstract/Arty,g.Colourful by admin / February 24, 2009 / 0 Comments

This is my attempt of a rough copy of ‘Heaven or Las Vegas’, a dreamy album by The Cocteau Twins. The technique is called ‘camera throwing’, literally throwing your camera in the air on a slightly long exposure.
