Thursday, September 11th, 2008

Hmm.
Yesterday I was cold all day.
It seem that today I will be hungry all day.

What fun adventures await me tomorrow?

p.s. don’t mention the pool. mutter grumble…

Keeping it real. yo.

On the recent spedition with A and R, we were discussing speditioning around Obs (since it’s my new hood and all…).
We came up with the idea of becoming gorilla street artists (like guerilla street artists, except we only stencil / sticker images of gorillas).
I’m considering extending our mandate to guerilla advertising vandalism.

Most mornings I jump into the Kwikspar to grab some foodstuffs.
By the milk fridge is an A4 ad (for some kind of sachet you plonk into water to “purify” it…) with the tagline:

Are you struggling to drink water?

followed by ad blurb drivel.
I want to slap a sticker over the bottom bit.
Something like:

Try using a “Cup” ©™®
Can even be used for other liquids!

That is all.

” ‘art’ “* project of the day.

plan a route through cape town where the the reading of the street names and stop signs makes a message in the style-ee of a telegram***.
some minor vandalism may be required to make it flow smoothly.

disclosure: the more I think about it, the more I feel like I’ve stolen this idea from someone.
if it’s you, pipe up.
and - sorry.
