HOLY MALONY

Being an Art History student automatically puts me in the box of art fanatic, however considering the 'history' side to my degree, I absolutely despise this new contemporary art thing. Well despise is a bit harsh.. lets go for dislike. Yeah, that's better. But, this all went on its head today when I found this guy when traipsing around the world wide web.

His name is Peter Callesen, and he makes exceptionally cool things out of single sheets of paper. Hell, I don't know why I'm rabbiting on about him when you can just see for yourself:











I just absolutely love how he doesn't just take in to consideration the figure he has carved out of the paper, but also the gap he has left. Complex talent out of such simple medium: I have no idea what the guys at work would do if I handed them a letter that I had carved into a beach-side resort or something. Awesome.

Hope you enjoyed this as much as I did, and please do feel free to comment!

Lots of lovin'

Spot.


Why, fancy seeing you here?

Hello, I'm Spot. 


Before I begin crazily bombarding you with my weird and wonderful finds, I just thought I would introduce myself, as it would be rather rude if I didn't. And I don't want to be rude. Hell no.

I'm writing this blog out of a mix of pure boredom and out of being a sheep. I want to be as cool as those girls who make the blogs I admire and read on a daily basis (I shall make a list of my favourites for you in my next post, you lucky things), and although I don't even think the word 'cool' is even in my vocabulary, I can try okay. Can't beat a girl for trying... and if you can... well I'll just run away.

This blog will be based around my loves in life:
OH YES, its another beauty blog.
OH YES, its another lifestyle blog.
OH YES, its another diary-like, lets look at the stupid things Spot has done today, blog.

If you like these things, and like me, you just can't get enough of this bloggin' world we live in, pleeeease stick around. I promise you nice things. Promise!

So, how better to start a fresh new blog than with a '25 facts about you' to bore the hell out of you with! Brace yourselves, cause its gonna be a bumpay ride! *cue the little Jamaican head on the bus in Harry Potter 3*:

1. I sucked my thumb until I was 16. When I say 16, I mean I still may do it now. Sometimes. In the dead of night.

2. I'm a Yorkshire Lass! The place where dreams (and sheep) are made.

3. I study Art History and English Literature at University, currently coming to the end of my second year. I know, I know, its a shock to me too.

4. Along side University, I have three jobs. Because I'm hardcore. And I like monies.

5. My biggest pet hates are velvet and the sound of people whispering. Hurts me on the inside.

6. When I was little, all I wanted to be when I grew up was a fireman. No, not a firewoman, a fireman.

7. I eat at the speed of light.

8. I have a deep love for Joseph Gordon-Levitt. So Joseph, if you're reading this. I'm here baby!

9. I host a Drive-time radio show with my friend, Chris. And we have a bloody good time doing it. We will be back next year, so I'll give you the deets then.

10. I would give anything to look like Rosie Huntington-Whitely. Or Blake Lively. Or Pixie Lott.

11. I was head girl at school. Nothing wrong with being a top notch kiss ass.

12. I would love oh love to live somewhere pretty, like Venice. I love Venice.

13. I drink oxo cubes out of a cup. I think its a Yorkshire thing.. well that's what I tell myself.

14. My favourite band is Mumford and Sons. Listening to their music makes me want to do something inspirational, like save lives and run marathons.

15. Oh yeah, I'm running a marathon in October. Thanks Mumford.

16. Met Lee Evans once and told him I was going to be sick in his face. Luckily, I wasn't sick in his face.

17. I don't like cherries because I ate one once not knowing they had stones in them, and nearly chocked to death on the stone. Not pretty.

18. I met my boyfriend dressed as a lifeguard, whilst he was sporting a lovely pirate outfit. That, my friends, is true love.

19. I am 19. But I will be 20 this year, which makes me want to cry, as 20 is half way to 40. And 40 is half way to 80. And 80 is half way to a bloody old age and if I live to being 160 I'll be more famous than Michael    Jackson.

20. I can't cook.

21. I passed my driving test on the fourth attempt. Think that's bad, my brother passed on his ninth. Awkward.

22. I don't go South very much, and big cities make me nervous.

23. My Primary School had 37 kids in the whole school. And it's still going strong today!!

24. I would happily live of Lemon Chicken from the Chinese. Infact, I would happily just live off Chinese. (Food, not the people).

25. My mum calls me George. I don't know why. She just does.

For those of you that are still awake, WELL DONE! I am very impressed. Please comment below if you have anything interesting to tell me about you, I'm always up for a chat!

Lots of lovin'

Spot.
