College gallery

Good news - I'm on the course gallery, nice one

Bad news - they spelt my name wrong. How is anyone supposed to find me. I'm on the system how can you make this error.

Toiletpaper

I got this book out from the library out of pure visual fascination





















It's distressing and brilliant.




Nice contents page
like a newspaper
really strangely tight to the side of the page


this is like that bit in mean girls, is this like an art trope or something
or maybe a reference




this is terrifying

great colours


gives me that fear of little holes, like sponges
kneeling on gravel? something textured 
theres sexualised school girl vibes going on here
whys she on her kneess



such fascinatingly horrid imagery


oops


not sure if more disgusted by the bugs or that fat pink meat sausage with white bits in it

so anyway i looked at this book for quite a long time with no idea what it actually was or why it existed or even when it came into being
so i took to the internet and found their website


and i was not disappointed


best website ever
everything moves and makes sounds when you hover over it



its so horrible
its like when homer makes that website with jesus on it


that one




















i want my website to be like this
but also maybe not
it could be offputting
maybe i can encorporate elements...
