PACMAN:

Love the Google artwork today, it moves like real Pacman!

REMEMBER ME:

I went to see this film purely out of my love for the amazing R Pattz, with absolutely zero expectations. Guess what? I LOVED IT. I thought the characters were very believable and three-dimensional and don't even get me started on the ending...I am ashamed to say the tears were well and truly flowing. Remember Me wins my 'Dark Horse' award for exceeding ALL expectations twice over.

OPHELIA:

Whilst at the Tate I went to see my favourite painting, Millais' Ophelia. It really is beautiful, no representation could ever do a fraction of justice to the amazing colour captured in that painting. Genius!

CHRIS OFILI AT THE TATE:

I forgot to mention that I visited the Chris Ofili exhibition at the Tate Britain over the Easter holidays. I did take my own photos but they came out rubbish so these are better.

We made the mistake of going on a 'family day' and were unfortunately surrounded by THOUSANDS of screaming kids all day, using the floor of the Tate for their art-inspired 'paint n make' sessions. However the exhibition itself was extremely impressive. I hadn't seen much of Ofili's work before, but just knew that 1. He won the Turner Prize and 2. He's the guy that uses elephant dung. I must say that I didn't warm to the elephant dung...I'd hope that after seeing the pieces in the flesh it would all make sense, but I was somewhat bemused. The pieces themselves were absolutely beautiful; the colours were outstanding and the intricacy of the dot composition was very spectacular. To me, the dung was unnecessary and bizarre, but obviously he has his reasons and who am I to question them!

My favourite part was room of monkey pictures in the top image. There were 13 pieces, all identical designs butall different rich and beautiful colours. They were fantastic, albeit dung-laden, but fantastic all the same!

DAVID SHRIGLEY:

Today my tutor introduced me to this amazing guy called David Shrigley who appears to be multi-talented in all aspects of photography, illustration, animation and sculpture amongst other things. It was his photography that stood out to me the most as it is so simple, yet knowing and very witty. His site works in a rather frustrating way that means you have to click the links to each photograph separately; however his work was so good that I found myself clicking on every single one! I have posted a few of my faves. I particularly love the ones where he has obviously spotted something that has naturally occurred and applied clever and witty copy or signage to turn the image into something completely different. Absolute genius...I shall be keeping an ear out for word of his exhibitions any time soon.

TICKET TO RYDE?

After spending a lovely Easter weekend in Cowes I have a strong urge to go to the Isle of Wight festival in June. After doing a reccy of the 2010 lineups I think Isle of Wight is a strong contender, boasting the likes of Jay Z, The Strokes, Paul McCartney, Flo and the Machine, Blondie, Pink and my favourite band EVER, Crowded House. Plus, my dad living nearby means a hot shower is within our grasps...thumbs up all round!

'I AM GRACE KELLY, GRACE KELLY IS ME'

Had to get in a cheeky Gossip Girl quote as it is well and truly my latest obsession! However...

Whilst reading the latest ASOS magazine I read an interesting interview with Jenny Lister, the curator of the forthcoming Grace Kelly exhibition at the V&A. The exhibition will showcase her spectacular wardrobe; 35 haute couture gowns from the 1960s and 70s by her favourite couturiers Dior, Balenciaga, Givenchy, and Yves St Laurent. It runs from 17th April until September, and I for one can't bloody wait!
