Surely someone must have a rich Dad.



Who wants to go halves with me on this? This beast has been on eBay for at least a fucking year, just teasing me, tempting me to sell everything i own and buy it. I know it looks ridiculous, but i don't give a fuck, you have to get past that and use your imagination. If you have one. What i want to do is get this thing, travel around Europe picking up naive art student girls looking for money to buy paint and stuff. Invite them into the van and have an all out party, take some artistic nudes and maybe produce a DVD compilation of them dancing in their underwear to death metal and hip hop. Maybe if i tell them it is going to appear in some cool art magazine or get them 'crunk' they might even do it for free? I don't mean to sound like some kind of Pied Piper/Satan character, i actually want to do this for art, photography and film making purposes, i swear on your mums life. I would have to totally gut the van out, make some more room inside, maybe get a pole fitted, a disco ball obviously. I would also possibly paint it black and get a chrome skull fitted on the front. It would need a name, here are my choices so far.

The Thing.

Nightbreed. (as in the Clive Barker film)

Winston.

I would greet any other suggestions you may have with open arms. Thanks.

In all honesty i would actually like to do this as a serious art project, photographing the landscape and also the van amongst various different scenery. Imagine that thing driving through the ghettos of Russia. Then i would release a book of the entire project or maybe just a website cataloguing the journey and the mixture of crazy parties and artistic photography of semi naked indie-rock chicks who had accompanied us in the back of our funbus.

If you don't want to do this with me, then you are an idiot.

Into the wild

Do you remember that 14 year old boy who starred alongside Jodie Foster in the film Panic room? Well this is a picture of Kristen Stewart, the fine young temptress he has grown into.

I found out about her the other day when i watched into the wild, a film by Sean Penn. It's based on the book of the same name (i think) and the true story of this young guy who runs off and lives like a hobo. It's pretty good, it's not something you'd watch over and over like terminator or predator or anal witness 6, but it's one of those films where you enjoy the experience and the message, but you wouldn't buy it.
I found it a bit patronising at times, but maybe that is because i didn't like being told that i never had enough freedom and spontaneity and adventure in my life. The truth hurts. But anyway you should check the film. I like the fact that the book and the film have turned the guys life into some kind of message for everybody. Even if it is telling us that our lives are complete bull shit and we should go and live like tramps.
