Vispo/Collage: This Living

This Living, RTomens, 2018

This life, eh? Mustn't grumble, as the relativist (?) always says. And they'd be right, in one sense. Wrong in another. Because although, unless you live in bombed-out ruins or beg on the streets someone is always worse off than you, that approach can be flipped to say 'someone's always better off than me!', which they are, unless you're a handsome young professional footballer living in a Mediterranean country...in which case, nobody's better off than you.

I could moan about the circumstances which helped create this vispo collage, which relate to awaiting a new printer, therefore being forced to (re)create an old piece via digital wizardry because an art addict must do something, but I won't, partly because I'm pleased with the results but mostly because to place too much importance on the absence of such technology would make me sound like a spoilt brat.

The absence of a printer is also a setback to finishing off the look of the art zine, but that can wait. Nobody's holding their breath. News of purchasing details (no, don't run away!) will appear here as soon as the first copies are assembled. 

Meanwhile, I'm off to tidy up The Cave. The devil will find work for idle hands...TTFN!
