the adventure of the invisible ducks, elusive seagulls, crafty crows and a hummingbird

Like WOW, what a quest today. a rollercoaster of highs and lows, mountains and valleys. after only recieving two answers to the question i asked about what is relaxing to do on a sunday. (the swimming in the sea being about the least relaxing thing i could possibly do). so i decided to try and feed the ducks. soon i realized there are basically no ducks in brighton that i know of. i decided to seek the brighton equivalent. THE SEAGULL. finding one caused me and my camerman some serious problems at first but we soon got past these hurdles and achieved our goal, too extreme jubilation and merriment. these where no ordinary seagulls, these were tequila glugging ones with a taste for taco's. the quest was a success in the end and thats all that matters. making simple tasks and tasks an adventure, i have found, makes them far more exciting interesting and funny.
i hope to do more adventures in the future (george, Brighton)

!toomanytourists!

the answers i recieved for this challenge (no offence intended) i felt were a bit simple, probably set by alot of hungover people. the challenge i chose was to buy brighton rock from the pier, to add some spice to the mix, i thought i would reinvent myself as a travelling tourist hence the white shorts with blazer look. this transformation would entale me asking unusual questions to locals and doing all the touristy things. i had a go on a tweenies or teletubbies (not sure which ) rocking car, took photos of all the shiny stuff and generally had a day by the seaside. but as all saga's must have darkness there is a strong scene at the end which adds a new emotional level to the piece. (wow that was difficlut talking in that fashion). overall i had a fun time doin it but asking the people on the pier was a bit scary. You would think tourists should look happy, but they dont, they all looked absolutely miserable which was off putting when trying to ask them questions. (george , Brighton)

art is a way of life nolt just a hobby

the brief you set us made me, fisrt confused, then caused some serious pondering. eventually i decided to go do it on the thing i have a serious passion for (art if you hadnt guessed). i chose to allow people who i have never met or talked (properly to) to influence what i do inmy art. my studio space was the original, obvious location, but decided against this as this where all my art is created. i chose the answer to use other products rather than paint to create my work. i went back to the land of sainsbury and purchased alot of beans and a loaf of bread, also a tub of mint sauce, which i thought would be good for the darker bits of the work. the final piece was a master piece on the level of the greats. it was fun to work out of my usual medium and still retained a fun factor which i worried would be lacking in this task.

the pound adventure

i set the task to myself to buy a full meal with a pound which started of well. basics noodles are 8 p and a whole pot of mint saucce was only 11p. sadly it cam just over so had to put back the mint sauce as was more a luxury (if you could say that) rather than a necessity. the money i used to buy this prospective meal had to be borrowed as i had no money and no cash card at the moment. but oh well. some sort of irony or something in that . the meal was all going to plan and perfectly timed and arranged, but the only problem with it is it tasted absolutely shit. next time buy some bread is my advice. all went straight into the bin.

shopping list:
baked beans
sausage meatballs in tomato sauce
tomato pasta sauce
2 paacks of chicken noodles
ALL BASICS OF COURSE 92p total

the danish adventure

My task to become a true danish person, felt from the start like a real adventure something on the magnitude of the quest for the rowntree or another epic. i chose to stuff my face with danish pastries and do some serious merry jigging and bust a groove. at first i was a bit aprehensive as there was a large group of builders watchin but definetly got into the swing of it pretty quick. one panned out view and then moved to another location for a close up shot which unusually had a busker playing a wierd instrument, which conveniently fitted with dance. seriously fun (george, Brighton)
