they were playing manfred mann on the tannoy(no, stay with me, this gets interesting!)with their version of the brooooce springsteen song blinded by the light - and i'd never noticed how clever the lyrics were: And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather chart to see if it was safe outside.
go-cart mozart of course being the band that lawrence formed(who i was incidently talking about yesterday whilst watching robin's nest).
then a book on futurism caught my eye...
i've always been a fan of the style, but only ever obsessed over a few of the more iconic images, which inspired this shot:
then, looking through the book, i saw the work of an artist called Fortunato Depero, which blew me away, absolutely amazing artwork... and as i'd been working on some very futurist/deco portrait images at the weekend with Olivia, i suddenly had one of those the sky opens up and a beam of sunlight suddenly smacks you in the kisser moments, when you think "i could incorporate his design ideas with the photos i took..." and suddenly a whole host of images come flooding through... it was about all i could do to stumble out of the shop and get my ideas down.
today i discovered an old but new to me artist who impressed the heck out of me with his ideas.
and was reminded of some material that's still very familiar.
here's a video for denim(which was lawrence's band after go-kart mozart, whose back catalogue was sent to me in the post by someone called lawrence(although not the lawrence from felt!)
i like to think that the labels for this post are as random as it gets.... but still perversely relevant!
