Day two in the Scroobius Pip trials:
As i awoke today i somehow knew i would be called upon to bring justice to the masses in some shape or form. I cant realy explain how i knew this. Maybe it was waking up with my head on the floor and my feet still in bed. Maybe it was the five pop tarts i devoured for breakfast. Maybe it was that feeling i had had inside since i was a child that let me know that when a descision had to be made I and I alone should be the one to make it.
I put on my brown suit and matching trilby, exited my seedy den, jumped in my open top chevvy and made my way to my battleground.
The Crown Court.
As i witness another....um....witness I was starting to feel a little uncertainty as to the strenght of this case. I loosened my thin tie, removed the spectacles from the end of my nose and fixed a stare on the witness the likes of which he had clearly never experienced. It was a telling stare. A stare that was saying:
"If you lie, Im gonna know.
And your gonna know.
And your gonna know Im gonna know.
And one glimpse at the outline of the chisled frame nestling beneath this tatty white shirt will tell you I aint someone you wanna get on the wrong side of.
And I dont like liars."
As the case went on the evidence came and went until it was time for us to retire to deliberate. As i looked around the room at the simple minded fools i was sharing this bench with i knew i had my work cut out to expose and explain the holes that where letting the warm sun shine right through this case like a thin summer dress and get right down to the sillouetted curves and contours of the main body of the case.
As they plodded through the "facts" i waited in silence observing each one of them and picking up on each bias. Then, when the time was right, i declared all the problems with their theories and bias opinions. I explained why things werent as clear as they thought and why they couldnt just make their descision on their prejudice stereotypical views. Then once i had finished I sat back and waited for the applause and adulation.
Turns out they didnt listen to a word i said and now we gotta go back tommorrow coz we had a split descision!
Goddamn it just aint like the movies..........

Today i started what is to be a minimum of two weeks jury service! Everyone bitches about it but its great. They pay for your lunch, your petrol, your parking and your time in general. Today i got to spend about three hours reading and writing lyrics and stuff then had an hour or so of jury stuff then they let me go home!!! I wana do this for a living! Im preying they dont give me a vandalism case tho considering my stance on street art n stuff. I think id have to just come clean and remove myself from the court room on the grounds of being totaly bias!
Very few things in my life have ever made me as happy as The Adventures of Pete & Pete and this week i recieved the first series on DVD. 
This and scrubs. Greatest shows ever.

Bored Bored Bored so i thought id update.
Had a super productive week off work. Got three new tracks recorded and been out putting up some of my new street art around brick lane and old street which was fun fun fun. I also seem to be enjoying saying things three times times times.
Weird.
Going to see Saul Williams at the scala on tuesday (charley you are soooooo missing out). Expecting that to be awesome awesome awesome.
Trying to think off something good to do on bank holiday monday but so far i have no ideas.
Hmmmmm what picture to insert.......
No new ones so heres a picture of when i had to do a display of Sex&the City boxsets at work. I decided to make a massive cock & balls.
I make my mother so proud you know.
Oh yeah...had some cool news earlier in the week. A friend off mine who lives in Norwich sent me a copy of a local art magazine and they had used one of my stencils for the front cover and another on the first page!!!!
They also had a page in there asking me to contact them to do some design for their mag. I aint going to coz the whole point is doing the art kind of anonomously and it only being in public places,etc. But it was still pretty pleasing. I smiled for days.
Back to work tuesday. Rubbish. I hate the ends of weeks off.

Im making a book. Ive been struggling with it for ages then two nights ago i just had a break thru and have about 18 pages completed. Since i dont intend it to be much more than 20 pages im pleased with my progress. I love it when something just clicks and you sit up all night making art and feeling inspired.
The book is basically a collection of my street art and ramblings from my mixed up/wise old mind.
I have a friend who can print and bind it pretty cheap so im looking forward to spending all my wages on getting as many as i can printed up then giving them to all sorts of cool people.
I think im gonna give the first load away, (to cool people and afew cool little art and book shops i go to) and then see if i can sell any of the next batch. Im hoping that overview will be able to put my website together after afew more hook ups thus allowing me to simply put the web address in the book so if anyone wants any they can have them.
Got a week off next week and i intend to get at least two new songs finished. AT LEAST.
And also go put up some of my new art projects.
Saw some prints of a photoshoot i did the other week with my friend 33:30 who has an exhibition coming up in Brick lane in a month or two. Theres gonna be massive pictures of me in it! Strange choice. He might be putting some prints of some of my street art up aswell so thatd be cool cool cool.
What a big update.
And no pictures.
I have left the following gap tho for you all to imagine some pictures yourselves.
That looks just lovely. Well done.
p.s. summer's set!!!
Time to redocorate! Thought id change my profile pic as everyone else seems to be changing theirs! Had to do a photoshoot for a website the other day so I had afew pics to chose from and chose this one. Hmmmm casual.
Got sum new stencil pics in my folders aswell which is nice.
I start my new job tommorow. I say "new" but its pretty much the same job but with different people and for more money. Gonna miss all my little work buddies but its cool coz i got alot of projects (artistic and otherwise) going on with alot of them so we wont lose touch. Fun Fun Fun.
Right i think thats it for my update so im gona go harass others via their journals. Might come back and add a picture to this update in abit coz its just more fun when theres images.
Yep i have updated. 1) To say i shaved my beard off two days ago and now feel naked, 2) to say bill murray is my dad.

First time: Chased by the damn police.
Second time: Interuppted by a china man.
Third time..........
"LUCKY"
Yes thats right. I finally got my new stencil up on a wall. Found the best bridge that I could just go to in the middle of the night and spray away uninterupted while overview took some fantastic pictures of cars going by and stuff. A very successful evening. Gotta get back to take a good clear picture of it in the daylight as this one is abit grainy as it was taken at 1.30am! If its unclear its a guman with his explosion turning into doves. I used this basic dove outline as it is the catholic "dove of peace" symbol which i thought was pretty ironic due to the fact that most wars in the last trillion million years were over religion.
Joy joy joy.
Hope y'all like it.

Oh look at how rarely I update. Think i just prefer commenting on other peoples stuff.
Well tomorrow is the big one. Im putting on a night of bands music and fun to raise awareness for the boycott of coca cola. They are basically evil and killing lots of people (literally) to make abit more money on a poxy (yes thats right, POXY!) soft drink which doesnt even taste nice when you take away the fun off the bubbles!
Should be a good night. Im DJ-ing which will be HUGE amounts of fun and the bands ive got playing are awesome. Still aint decided on a set yet. Think im gona make it pretty random though. Bit of Prince, bit of minor threat, bit of le tigre, bit of doors, bit of bjork, bit of johnny cash, bit of clouddead, bit of buzzcocks, bit of polysics, bit of dolly parton....the options are endless. These kids aint gonna know whats hit em!
This guy who was meant to be supplying loads of leaflets, magazines, stickers and tshirts appears to off let me down though so i think im gonna ave to get up and tell people what its all about alot more than i intended which kinda sucks.
Should still be a great night though. If anyone fancies traveling down to the bright lights of leigh-on-sea then do so .All the details are in my events bit.
Ho hum.
Gotta go out flyering now which will no doubt be a joy.
