Just love the randomness of someone with a ventriloquist dummy amongst it. The days kids knew how to have fun. Even if half of them ended up physically deformed.
I did that sort of stuff as a kid. We had a few derelict buildings (factories and office blocks) we climbed up, on to dodgy floors with gaping holes, onto one roof and jumping down on to another. Happy days and taught you about taking risks and gaining confidence. Not quite the same on minecraft
When I was around 7/8 we had an estate built in the fields behind our house, best playground we ever had.
We had cops called a few times. Sometimes we escaped, sometimes collared. We used to **** ourselves when we got catched, only cos of the beats we'd get from our dads but the cops used to just take our names, scare us with "cautions" sounding like a criminal record lol and let us go.
Came close to one last week when I slept on a mates couch and woke up with his rather happy dog in the morning
Like that. Loads of **** like that in East London. Art from the street. Street art they call it I think
Ben Wilson is an English wood carver and outsider artist. The son of an artist, Wilson grew up in a creative environment and attended art school. His distaste for industrial waste, cars and rubbish eventually turned into an art form. He creates tiny works of art by painting chewing gum stuck to the pavement.
Talking of art, this was my boy's final submission for his GCSE art. I took the photo last week, before he'd finished it. The one on the right is Van Gogh's painting of Sunflowers. My boy's one is his interpretation using pointalism. No strokes at all, just dots of paint. Took him just under 4 weeks. He added different shades of blue, and orange for the table back at school so not seen the finished work.
