Project Choices

Monday, August 13th, 2007

So I’ve thought of something. It came to me during todays lecture. It requires a bit of history though. It’s all about some Not So Impressive Entertainers.

Back in early July I needed something to help keep me sane over the holidays. So, inspired by one of my favourite artists ( Scott C ) I decided to create a “series” of images. And so I came up with the “Not So Impressive Entertainers”. A collection of the worst, most pathetic, and unusual entertainers that one could think of. Ideally I wanted to come up with about 100 of them, get them all printed out and displayed somewhere.

So, During todays lecture, it came to me. I could do these as my project!

To give you an example, here are the first 6 NSIEs ( and the blogposts that accompany them, ensure you read the comment reply from “wonko” as he’s been providing little biographies as they come :

I. Pretty Ordinary Hat Man
II. Squid Man
III. The Pied Piper of Greater South-East Queensland
IV. Charles and his Amazing Performing Pancreas
V. Lionel the Brussel Sprout Tamer
VI. Sicko the Clown

So I’m mainly posting this here so you can see my thought process and the options I’m going through. Both projects have pros and cons. However I think the way I’m leaning at the moment is to keep NSIE as a side-project, a more personal thing - and focus all my efforts on my sound-based project.

Any thoughts ?
