YoUng siR 1





A StORy tiME -

thE YoUng siR whO askeD too many questiONs


S0 letS start fr0m the beginning - they sleep during the day - partY aT nighT. WanTing to be let into 0ur studio space.

It was likE a lucky diPPP - WHo would we GET??

Remember the d00r to get t0 ask them - was it push or puLL? theN you’d walk through the passage - p0p round the corner n every0ne wud be as busy as EVA.

Who’s gonNa ask? I’ll stand theRE you ask ok. Like in PriMary Sch00l wheRe U take ya pAL with ya. T0 give in the register. 

TheN we’d be escorted to the studi0 like princesses. 

NO princess should open their own d00r.

0nce were in studi0 normally it's just ‘J’ and ‘R’ but todaY we were JRS. Sounds like a banD.

AnD theN the questi0ns and statemEnts start rollinG - 

Well what d0 yoU do then? Do you paint renaissance? I beT you draw them liFe mODEls dont ya!! I’ve had my hand in the arts a few times - painting by nuMbers n What not. No time for rest in this JOb - party central at this uni!! 

No tiMe for a cuppa T - we felt veRy s0rry for him - simply unFAIR. He likeD the tunes - w0uld recommend uS as DJ’s for parties 4 the over 50’s. 

P00R old sod could’ve just used a traVel mUG. Bet he was AftEr the sympaThy v0te - my eye.

WhiLst ya really interested in thiS bl0g - will leave ya t0 soak it up - gud morning - gud evenINg and BYE.

0ne aftern00 n in WHITbYY - JaN 2020

ShAll we g0 to whitby tomorrow?  Yeah caN d0 got nowt else on. I’ll have to checK my 2p allowance. OK well, it is 10pm n0w, so if I pick U up at LETS say 10am That giVes US a lOvely sleep iN. Apparently the weather is supposed to be sunshine and lollipops.  iF u cant tell already, wE don’t want to do academiC writin.  G00d hEavens, I can’t wait.  *10am next DAy* ‘J’ is sat on her wind0w sill like rapunzel waiting for her lift, perhaps horse and carriage would be suitable. Oh no, a corsa able to wake up all of YRK. tunes tho, don't get this on a carriage.  ‘R’ pulls UP ready fOr the hour n a bit drive to WHiTby (gothic town) - ‘J’ comes oUt in Fancy DreSS - a lOng Black COat, thEy wanTed tO look like DraCula. It would be rude not to dress in suitable attire - remember when school would tell u to wear waterproofs and steel tow shoes for a trip to the library.  With that they were Flyin down A64 - weathEr conditiOns not great but doable, get to North YorkshiRe...

Studio 1 vs 2- A shoRt StOry

Image
I was gonna say 2019 vs 2020 cos' the difference in work is MAD like but it's all from the same year. March vs November with a 7 month break. Not really an optional break though was it, more like everyone thought they were gonna die and then we were allowed out again.  The first studio was JR ²  in their 3rd year when they thought they were proper onto something, producing banger after banger. Now don't get me wrong some pieces were unreal like shed door, door, Eva Hesse mirror (the list goes on) but there was SO much shite in there too. But JR ² genuinely, hand on heart believed everything they made had potential, so don't be the one to ruin that for them and break their little hearts. The good thing about their mindset was/is that they really believe in themselves, one bad piece doesn't put them off, it makes them work 10x harder. The best advice R ever got at the young age of 20/21 was not to play their work down, a kind young musician said to R that you could ha...

00PS - a sh0rt break

Image
08/04/2021 - it's been a time - the work has sort of shifted. stiLL do proper love tiles, found material, ya know all that sort of stuff BUT we've found a new love - small 6 f00t by 6 f00t canvases to be exact.  Thing is cos we are 9 f00t tall so they seem small to us.  So yeah, think I'll just show ya the first one we ever made - first of all though do you prefer tea or coffee? Cos 'J' likes neither but 'R' likes both. Maybe 'J' will grow to like em but for now their sticking to fizzy pop. So yeah we won't lie we were a bit apprehensive about making a canvas - had a bad past with them c0s the work looked shit once so we didn't touch canvas for a good year. Anyway, why not? Nowt to loose is there and be good to know how to make them, so we did it. 6 foot by 6 foot - we don't like to make things easy - trying to move this up stairs/round corridors/going outside without setting off like a bird was a laugh though. And this was the first time...
