dreaming like a ghost, so in love

As my deadline approaches my work gets pushed to the back of my mind. I've finally written my presentation piece on feminism in art. It was tough, but i did it.
Now all that is left is my 'when does art stop being art and become the business mans pawn?' essay :-/
Last night was decoration night in the pub where i work. Imagine this, a group of people, ages ranging from 16 to mid 40's. I'd say our average age was 25. As we got drunker off mulled wine, goldschlager, and the festive spirit we got younger. By the end of the night we had progressed from intellectual conversations on improving business to sliding down banisters and down stairs on our arses. A successful night, and not the last, we still have our xmas night out to go, xmas eve, xmas day night, and new years eve. Good times to be had by all :)

I need to price up my tattoos. I'm wondering whether to charge what i paid for them, a bit more, a bit less, or whether to just charge for shares? Buy a small piece of me, buy your very own artist, see you don't have to be a fat cat to be accepted by society!

Well tired eyes i bid you goodnight, 4 hours sleep and an early start, my bed beckons......

ToTattooOrNotToTattoo

Definately to tattoo :)

I've been a little m.i.a for a while, not the rapper, i've so many deadlines for uni at the minute that i haven't been online or checked my emails in over a week. A veritable offence in any case.
Spoke to Mr.F today, he's agreed to be my photographer later in the day so by tomorrow i will most definately have photos up.

A busy weekend ahead, today is filled with presentation research and essay research, groan, maybe a little wood engraving....we'll see though. Tonight i'm watching a band play that i haven't seen in a while, then watching X-factor when i get home. It's going to be a late night. Tomorrow i'm working two shifts then we're putting up our xmas decorations in the pub, which is going to be another late late late night.
I don't know where i find the time, lol :)

MeShell

ps-i saw a programme on BBC3 late last night, called MeeShell, i was furious, this always happens, people steal my things, my ideas, then because i am not well known at all i get stick for stealing 'their' ideas, oh the fury in my bones :-/

Hungry like the wolf?

My name is MeShell. I am a sruggling artist, aren't we all!? I need to raise money to fund my final year at university because the Student Loans Company, who are supposed to be helping me, have decided not to give me a loan. Which i would have to pay back anyway, it's not like it's free money, but hey, who's grumbling!?
I heard about different artists selling parts of themselves, their demographic, their blackness, their status as a contemporary artist, and i thought i can do this.......but what could i do? What do i have that people might want? Then it came to me as i was writing on my hand, my tattoos! I have a pretty nifty selection of tattoos, maybe those people who don't want to deface their bodies by actually getting one of their own might want to save some hassle and just buy one of mine!
Think about it, your very own tattoo, you didn't have to go through any pain for it, no awkward conversations with your parents, no having to hide it in work or at interviews, all that is left for me to deal with!
I will get some photo's taken in a few days and then post my wares online for sale.........
Brings a whole new meaning to selling your body :)
