Book released and a birthday

Sat Oct 31, 2009, 5:38 PM
So tomorrow I turn 23. I am happy about this. I think I shall make exciting art whilst I am 23. This coming year is also going to be my first year out of University as a practicing artist. Tres scary but also a wonderful feeling.

So, I have a little announcement to correspond with my birthday: I made a book. I like it a lot. For my birthday, please go and check it out, view the preview, leave a comment and, if you are a totally awesome person, please buy a copy! All the money raised will go straight back in to my art. It is going towards getting my theatre company to Adelaide for the Fringe Festival in February to perform our new work (directed by me) called 'iexist.com'.

Yes, that is my full real name on the cover. :D I couldn't not use my real name now, could I? Besides, it is time to own my art.

The book is called 'In Memory of Arthur Who Was Completely Ordinary'. Here it is: [link]

It is 80 pages including 18 written pieces (I think) masses of modeling photos, self portraits and my own photography. Many of the pictures and stories you may have seen before but some have never been seen.

Happyhappyhappy.

:D

Some of the images in it:




Plus pieces of writing such as:

(my DD piece)

Please go and check it out! Its my birthday! :D

deviantID

I grew up in the driest state in the driest continent in the world and yet my neighbour still watered her concrete driveway every night in summer. I suppose she must have found it soothing; her and the hose and the hot night air.


But this is no way to introduce myself.

The work you see here is a conversation between my two personas: Halohid and Susannah. One is internet model, photographic actor, glamourous shape shifter and camillion, whose superhero powers lie in her ability to morph when a camera is ready to fire. The other is me, the scruffy, red-haired kid with big glasses, beagle hairs on all of her clothes, a temperamental arm subject to bursts of agonising pain and boots held together with a combination of spray paint and gaffer tape. I have only recently come to realise that they are the same person.

I am a 22 year old theatre practitioner (director, designer, stage manager, playwright and actor). I am a photographer and I am a model. I tell stories, through theatre, photography and words.

Linger. I will dream up a tale for us both.

Thank you.

I received your book in the mail the other day. I am very pleased to say it's wonderful and I enjoy it greatly! :)
:iconhalohid:
Oh fantastic! Thank you! I'm so glad you like it. I'm mighty happy with it. Apart from the three errors I've found so far. 'Class dimissed' at the end of 'A Practical Guide to Romance in the Modern Age' is one of my favourites. Thank you for buying a copy and telling me you like it! I'm all smiley now. :D

Yeah, I noticed a few typos, but there aren't many...we can just overlook that. ;)
:iconhalohid:
And now someone can read the story 'In Memory of Arthur'! It is one of my favourite stories I've ever written and so it has taken so much restrain for me to keep it off the internet. I love that it is the last story in the book. :D

Hey mister. I've been pretty flat out. I'm just finishing off my last paper and then I will have finished studying. Forever. Hence the lack of work. I have some things I could post but I'm not sure I want to.

Thank you! I am currently posting 'The Seven Day Project', which is where I shoot a self portrait every day for a week. With each self portrait, I shoot the write the story of my day, which usually has extracts from other things I am writing so if you want a few little teasers, I'd suggest investigating those. Thank you!
