Every one's an asshole and you can all fuck off

the modus operandi has changed somewhat over the years - i think if thete even was one , it might have been along the lines of " yeah man " way back then through the ages ...these days i think its much more akin to " everyones an asshole and you can all fuck off " a philosophical position gleaned from exceptional insight accrued through a diverse series of experiments , im not yet so far gone as to be devoid of the lingering shadow of optimisms for my fellow human creature - but quite frankly - it would seem - for the most part - you are all a bunch of assholes and you can all fuck off x Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays , Seasons Greetings and all that jazz you bunch of fookin weird bald apes 😁

Eat - work - Art , in muddy water ?!

no mate, i don't want your fucking palace theatre - i think anyone that would want to take it on as a vanity project , and thats all it would be a fucking vanity project !! is a bit ' touched ' on the brain . the building has been decaying for decades , it's been squatted by the homeless , set on fire and had all the lead flashings stripped out of the place so i couldnt even get a scrap value on this derelict, decaying piece of shit that quite honestly the council should have put a compulsory purchase order on long ago ....when the thing was actually still worth saving !! ah but of course,plymouth is whipping up allegiences but no matter how many temporary student fraternities you can whip up into thinking that , they , are the current scene in the city - at least the whole time they are packed into classes of 30 and networking thier tik toks amongst themselves ,grabbing at your funding promises with both hands and their knickers round their ankles ... but look , we smoke weed , dress up like pirates and are so terribly alternative and read the occaisional guardian article - we must be the hip and happening scene , no ? well, no - you are a fucking demographic a target audience of self perpetuating arrogance , and quite frankly , utterly ridiculous....finanxial cannin fidder , using your debt and your entrepreneurial initiative to cover the overheads on a property development scam which is probably doubling up as a fucking tax right off - assholes !! how about , the council get one of the billionaires to put a mark on it , in stead of fucking " EAT - WORK - ART " to put a nominal deposit down on yet another sprawling piece of previously neglected real estate , then they can charge a grand a month to any of these student cliques that think its a great opportunity , with their recent masters in art or dance or some shit, and the contemporary paradigm of " build back better " as a brainwashing technique, instilling the notion that if you take out a business loan get some match funding from the local authorities pot of money then you can be a bougie Branson mark two in this city managed by failed beauty therapists and part time estate agents .... these little hipster kids can sure up the business model for any of these eat, work ,art projects that i find multitude's of , out there in various cities across this brexit britain .... why not take out a business loan , apply for all the necessary preservation order funding options - so that you can crawl through the mire of planning and preservation restrictions for the next 20 years that it would take to get the dance academy up to any kind of usable spec , so that plymouth city council , nudge and eat work art can all market their little property side hustles as some booming urban regeneration projects you know without it looking like a complete bent monopoly .... jeezus effing wept , you got these kids queuing up to go bankrupt on your behalf to bolster your own financial mistakes of overspeculating on a frankenstein property market .... so no mate , i dont want anything to do with your fucking palace theatre , you stuff your union street 15 minute city , property developer melee right in your ass and you can quote me .... i think if these people so desperate for human connection after the disperate and dis social programming of the covid era , all wanting to belong to something - even government issued camden enterprise- to anything !! are willing to choke down on this shit .... then i despair at humanity , whislt laughing and the the entire charade x thr cantankerous old git x

The Funny Farm 2024

im probably going to have to rotate the staircase 180 degrees , put up a stud wall to reduce the sprawling kitchen and extend the entrance hall way ....maybe take out one of the bedroom walls to make it an open landing and library, check the roof and do a little bit of groundworks ...but otherwise i think she's a goer !

Am I a ' known ' Artist 🤔

ha ha,this is a weird concept to me ...as a cantankerous recluse, but i dont know really ? theres a few of our recent prime ministers that know who i am , Theresa Coffey knows who i am , Michael Gove knows who i am Robert Jenrik knows who i am , Jeremy Corbyn , Kier Starmer , quite s few mps ...various aspects of the admiralty know who i am ...there are quite a few local authorities that don't know what to do with my name when its mentioned or quite how to react ! there are quite a few fellow artists that know who i am , but im received with a kind of distant awe , or immediate professional disdain ... aspects of the judiciary know of my works , various QC's and KC's and human rights activists are aware of sine if my activities ! a couple of older school ' celebrities ' have my work in their collections! the Royal Academy know who i am , and Princess Margaret and maybe Princess Anne too .... Tudor Evans the long term CEO of plymouth city council definitely knows who i am ... a few billionaire property developers and recent residents to this landscape I call home ....Richard Bingly knows who i am , as do various aspects of various ' protest ' groups know of my name .... i dont have to do an FOI to know that Aaron Banks is aware if my feelings on brexit ...and the 77th brigade are familiar with some of my postulations.... so i suppose , yeah , im a ' known artist ' despite shodow bans and censorship 😆 the Original Arts Hole and the path to acquiring a gothic mansion and my own mine in this hostile little environment 😆😆😆

Did you see the headlines

bless em , yeah ....im sure they came up with this all on their own , plymouth live and the herald , i consider these outlets ' media ' in the same way i regard Plymouth as a ' city ' more like a mud floor cattle market , you got the big fat necked beef wellington dressed in tweed , the punters and the cattle , which of these categories do you think the council consider themselves to be , and which category do you think they regard you , the public as ? it was only ten years ago that mine and others concerted efforts managed to smash the overpriced business rates paradigm at the time - its awesome , when you chsnge the fucking world and some bloated turd in an administration dresses it up as a campaign to win votes from the poor fools still daft enough to offer these careerist administrators a tick in their box , a minority within constituencies these days i assure you ...but keep calm snd carry on ! when this grubbyness takes place you have to be prepared to issue court summons and massive invoices to the utter incompotent wankers that determindly shoot you down , then right up your mad rants as their own policy and grand idea ....amateurs the chuffin lot !! althought this year has been a bugger , i hope it has been worth the effort , but i will tack on a little prediction here ....how are you PCC going to allocate that pledged £15 million pounds , in property deals ? construction contracts to freinds and family ? public consultations ? salaries and pensions for your chamber of fucking incompetents ? personally, id be happy to consider my work here done for now 👍 and im going to have a well deserved nervous breakdown , a little lay down and a few wanders in some ancient woodland and a few games of chess .... but i will be keeping an eye on your half baked activities , i hope that some of you fetid little cattle chattels have taken heed of what a single raving loony can accomplish , without having to sell out and network with these ridiculous pieces of shit in exchanges for fundung promises and graces and favours .... stuff that in your eligible funding criteria you bunch of fucking teachers pets snd self interned slaves to the reinstatement efforts of the new feudal system .... oh and fuck off , don't bother me unless its really important !! drops mic , glares at the room and walks away laughing .... The Original Arts Hole - Lets AV it - exhibition and workshop series of 2023 , the year of the water rabbit ! the Original Arts Hole vs Boris Johnson's Brexit Britain, Plymouth city council, a pack of village idiots abd my former nother in-law 😁

to quote a topical celebrity, " go fuck yourself "

The Stakes of the game

you know i dont wish to spend all my time attacking the collapsing sections of this ridiculous failed state....

believe it or not , i don't care to express myself that much through these asshole digital platforms of echoe chambers and censorship , photos of cats and endless means , and generally i do prefer to be a private individual, this year has been a bit of an exception ill grant you ....but then this year has been a little exceptional 😁 and although it will probably take a years worth of therapy to get passed some of the imposed hangups that i have accrued this year , im in a pretty good place all things considered, it is a shame that thete was a massive alpacca cull in the counties recently , but hey ...thats ok i can wait a lil while longer for my alpaccas to arrive .... in the meantime , im wandering around as i tend to do , but with the notable difference that im leaving things around the place , places that i potter , its an interesting notion one borne on the back of the geo cache concept that i took part in a few years ago now , over the winter , well actually , i think this might just keep going for years , but well see so, ive been mining ....in a few countries , not in an industrial environmentally detrimental way of course , more akin to a more holistic american indian philosophy really , and in doing so ive gathered some beautiful and rare rocks , gemstones and ores , some of those ores ive even been smelting into a solid silver coin currency , which i have then used to back a twenty year portfolio of art , design , architecture and sculpture and enough life experience to render me as grey as i have ultimately become ! and such as this year has turned out i figured id leave little talismans and amulets here thete and everywhere , its been quite pleasant venturing to olaces intentionally seeking out difficult places to reach , places to leave these little totems lying around , i think ive even managed to do it in a wealth accumulation model for participants. these little ethically sourced and locally made ' key ring fobs ' have a badic RRP of about £3.00 each -

these little wax seals an RRP of about a fiver

these little bags , some containing 7 chakra stones , some containing larger singular mineral specimens have an RRP of about a tenna £10 sterling for thise of you that don't use the pound as a base denomination....

these little bags - they contain a little bottle with a troy ounze of silver ore each with an RRP of about £20

and these little bags contain a solid silver dollar made of 925 silver ( hallmark quality ) after weve run the ore through the smelting and refining process , the royal mint equivalent equates to about a £30 RRP on those , but seeing as mine are rarer than the mint whilst technically doubling up as ' art ' seeing as they are hand forged by myself out of silver ore from a mine that sunk under water over a hundred and fifty years ago ...theres both a danger and rarity value to these that i would argue , makes them worth more than the mints mass pressing of coronation coins and whatnot ! but well leave that for the antique market to decide once im dead ...

there are some little bags that have 5 x silver coins ... there are little bags that have little gold coins too , and some that have cut jewels of varying sizes and value to them too ... so the idea , basically ....because I do get about , and in doing so , i like to seek out the nicest little spots to sit and contemplate this and that amid my little travels , i hope to pay a little homage to my fellow solitude seekers and the spaces and places we coincidentally share .... the trick is , this isnt a digital game , theres no map , no real clues to speak of ...you cant get an app for it ( and actually if someone tries to come up with one ill collaose the whole game ) if you are having one if those days that we all seem to have in these mad days , and you decide to take yourself off for a quiet minute to a picturesque place for contemplation , then i would encourage you to leave your phone at home, sit in the scenery , get to know it , instead of scrolling throufh all of the brain rot crap that can easily be peoples go to these days , scan the world around you ...if you happen to be be in a place ive sought out for the purpose of this little game , you might just catch a glimpse of a amulet or talisman , hanging from a branch or on some rocky outcrop , then it will be one of 7 or 13 others within the locale. ive done this in such a way , that if you are seeking them , you probably wont find them , they tend to be most visible ...once your eyes have relaxed a little , once you are really in that space, when you are looking at the world and the details of it distract your train of thoughts away from the normal trains of thought ... when you are breathing in and taking in that which is before you ...thats when you might catch a glimpse of one , folliw the oath of the squirrel in the branches as it runs across your periphery , thats when one will catch your eye ! if you get a wooden token , keep hold of it , like i say if you find one , then there are either 7 or 13 others within the vicinity, four wooden tokens can be traded for a bag of chakra stones , three bags of chakra stones can be traded for a bottle of silver ore , three bottles of ore can be traded for a silver dollar, five silver dollars can be traded for a gold florin and two gold florins can be traded for a cut jewel and 5 cut jewels can be traded for an original painting ...this gives the game quite a lifespan with no overall deadline ! every now and again , there are bonus bags too with various and interesting contents that definitely up the stakes of the game ... so off you go my little chickens at present there are over 1500 seperate artifacts spread out over approximately two thousand square miles , i dont want your likes , i don't care for shares ,and no , you can't subscribe either , this is for those beautiful curuous and inquisitive fellow seekers of silence and stillness in the cacophonous noise we have made of the world ... good luck and big hugs x the long haired mal content x the Original Arts Hole - we now accept - Gold - Silver - yachts - classic cars and motorcycles - real estate -mineral rights and livestock - as means of valid exchange.... the original Arts Hole - a rose by any other name....

Witches on meds

gosh this year has certainly been a trial , a test of character ....but seeing as i havent actually killed anyone yet , is i hope quite the testament to my character! ive ruminated on this for a little while, and it is based on some personal observations, i doubt it will be popular postulation - but i don't do what i do to make friends , and my interest in this common contemporary paradigm of perpetual ' networking ' i believe is a predication to a whole society of complicit and enabling wankers ...you know , just like the historical records of the rises to facism , is so far from my own little humble humanitarian intents that i have no interest to pandering to this fucking crowd , or any crowd for that matter ! it hasnt been easy remaining a staunch individualist amongst all of these weak willed retards that insist you need to join their collective , their cause , their band , their brand , thier politucal party ....what they have been convinced through careful manipulations to believe they ' identify with ' - indeed arent the army running a recruitment campaign ' this is belonging ' .....mate get te fuck !!! stand on your fucking own and see what you can do , thats the flag ive been flying for about twenty years now ....and despite a few enemies rendered out of those that want to stay in the matrix , its served me well ! during those twenty plus years of self realizing activities and protest reactions to that which i simply cannot abide .... ive noticed a thing or two ... one such consideration is this .... how many of these self proclaimed witches in our current societal collapse are all sat around on state benefits , collecting cats , expressing themselves with memes , sipping herbal teas and eating ' vegan ' chicken nuggets ... with a head full of beta blockers and a bloodstream full of covid vaccine ...claiming to be some beacon of modern ' Alternative ' ...in my minds eye they are definitely waving a rainbow flag , and sporting ' stand with ukraine ' banners on their social media ! tribal tattoos , herbal teas , insence , and such a lack of understanding of the concept of community that they queue up online to buy festival tickets to the freedom that the corporatists allow them ...for a fee of course ... we live in a sick fucking age .... i think we can all agree to that , even if you dislike or disagree the other points i raise.... so here's the thing , the original witches , the wise crones and the wandering wizards of times gone by - amid a plethora of snake oil salesmen and charlatans , were all very much themselves , unadulterated , unfiltered , un wavering in the face of adversity and persecutions - they knew who they were , on good days and bad ...in all seasons and all weathers ...they were by all accounts strange peoole , these original staunch individualists - but they definitely owned it , made it their own , they didnt run off to the pharmacy to drug themselves up on prescribed behaviour suppressants, seriously what the fuck can you know about yourself or anything else if you are living in a state of government issued , habit forming sedation , its just my opinion of course , but i believe this is a problem , especially right now, you know all of that anxt , that uncertainty , that feeling that you don't really know who you are in your own body ...what if thats actually ok , and all this meds culture and poor quality cocaine recreationalism is a conditioning technique , you know like smack was in the 70's and 80's ? a way of getting to to either play the prescribed game of ' society ' or sitting on the sidelines and happily waiting around to die in a narcotic stupor like a well behaved barnyard animal .... i dont know man , if your taking advise from these people that claim to be in touch with themselves , but fall to pieces in a very big way if they cant get thier prescription ... you might be as big a problem as they are ... get off the fucking meds , be strange , be you ... some of that anxt might actually be the righteous indignation that would allow a person to retaliate in a very human way to oppression and this fucking weird psy ops saturated digital experiment we are all being subjected to .... food for thought 🤔
