Getting It Out

This is for the new range and I’m pretty pleased with it although it turned out bigger than I expected.  A few people have commented about making the strap loop longer and the stem shorter so it can sit over a shoulder, I just don’t know……..   Need to get it made in lots of colours now.

You have no idea how long this bag has taken me!  On and off over 2 months to get right so the flap works, the darts create the right curve around the bottom and for it to hang right.  I finally did it today - get in!

It doesn’t look that much now as this pic is a working proof but once in lovely fabric and with a big tassel hanging from the flap it will rock.  I just need a name for it now……

You have to admire this. The flexibility and strength is absolutely amazing.

Close friend of Getting It Out, Simon Chambers, has just launched his new online gallery on ebay - Psynapse.

The mainstay of this gallery is archive quality prints of Simon’s fractal based digital art.

After doing some recent reading up on the londonist website I read with interest that Four Tet has been using a new instrument in his live performances.

Yamaha have created ‘a new digital musical instrument for the 21st century’ called the Tenori-On. It looks like loads of fun to play with and if anyone know anyone who has one, i’d love to have a go.

It’s only taken 2 and a half years but finally the technology has caught up to allow me to post the ‘Dangerous Ryan’ rally video I shot and edited back in 2005.

It was just a bit of laugh - had a great day out and Ryan showed off his skills!

From the genius that was Maid Marian and Her Merry Men.

It seems that since the end of the festive season we have all managed to fill our waking, and sometimes non-waking, hours with more stuff than writing posts on Gettingitout will allow. A lot has happened in the past few weeks and a lot is still to come and, with a little bit of time management, hopefully some of it will find its way to these internets pages.

Besides, I needed to write something to get that bloody tree off top spot, it’s bad luck you know.

Well let me begin the great Christmas Tree-off with my very own bit of indoor foliage.

Type: Fraise Fir (non-drop jobby)

Height: 6ft

Tree Origin: Rushden Lake (in the woods) in Old Linslade - really cool place

Decor Theme: Well we wanted something different, so me and my boys made paper aeroplanes from silver and red card and then threw them at the tree! Great fun - then chucked few stars on, added a topper then combine with space projector and a mirroball for that erm disco….. erm…. paper plane look?

Now just need some pressies under it!

This vid got me… I must be behind the times or the skateboard industry must be, has been and most likely always will be a bit ahead of us.

This is the invisible skate board section of a film called ‘Yeah Right!’ by Girl/Chocolate Skateboards. Released back in 2003. I love it, and the soundtrack is ace.
