My Manifesto

This is the first page of my manifesto. I have written about the divisions in society between the 'Intellectuals' and the 'Creatives' - for example, the thinkers and the artists, the evolutionists and the creationists, etc. It's been fun coming up with these statements, even though sometimes they don't even make sense to me!

Comic Sans Destroyed

For 'Comic Sans Destroyed,' I created the letter 'L' in wax and destroyed it by melting it on the stove. Here are the results!















I made a wooden mould, melted some candle wax into it, and added some watercolour paint (without using water) on top to make it brilliant white (it didn't come out as brilliant white when it was on the wax though, so I may end up repeating it with some other paint and photographing it again). I then put the wax 'L' on some tin foil on a baking tray and put the whole thing on the stove.

The paint on the wax did not melt and left a ghostly figure where the wax beneath it used to be. The wax melted and the paint disintegrated, thus the 'L' is destroyed (almost!).

I Love Badges

Here are my 7 badges - all about the Master of Suspence, Alfred Hitchcock.
