ok so now i really miss my big brother.
I'm currently in two minds as to whether or not i should enter the wearable arts awards this year (see earlier post).... three months is just so short a time, especially when i'm trying to do so many other things in that time. But i want to do it! this is something ive been wanting for years, and finally i have the motivation at the right time, albeit a few months later than i would prefer.
Problem is, i'm having trouble kick-starting my brain into that kind of creative mode, switching from practical to complete fantasy
now my brother.... has his problems. He isn't shall we say, the most motivated or talkative person on the planet, but get him started on something, any interesting topic - then try to shut him up - not gonna happen! he also has a beautifully warped creative mind
so when i need to think about something like this, i pick up my paper and pencil, jump in the car and rush over to his place, we drink copious amounts of coffee, eat blue cheese and crackers, and inspire each other. I usually come out with several viable concepts or at very least the right frame of mind to start
but its not the same on the phone (though i think ill try tonight just in case) and now hes in Christchurch and i'm not (yet), so a quick trip in the car becomes a 12 hour drive.
Maybe i should stop thinking about entering for this year and make the inspiration session another piece of motivation for my move...
but i want to enter.....
*sigh*

Ok, try this. I'm picturing a giant 6 foot tall hotdog. You could make it out of foam rubber, and sew little bits of relish and sauerkraut on there, and he could carry a sign that sez "Eat at Hot Dog World"...
oh wait. Nevermind.
how bout this - a giant 6 foot tall latte cup, and then you could sell it to a local aspresso shop to stand outside with a sign that sez...
shoot, ok, dang.
Give me a half a second here, I'll come up with sumthin...
