Radical ideas and Fever dreams….

I have had an interesting few days. High fevers can be be extremely creative as it turns out!

I had some amazing dreams and I wrote some of them down, there were some really neat ideas in there!

I Had this dream about the ALM. It had become a huge art movement. Artists and Creative minded individuals had connected via the web through an ALM internet site ( that I have yet to build). It was SO cool. All these different art events were happening all around the country and then it spread to all around the world. People were getting together and doing amazing things. In the dream I was floating around and went and got to see and visit all of these different shows and events. I met some really remarkable people! It was SO COOL!

The whole ALM idea came from me wishing that I had a group of friends who were like minded and Into art and music and making things actually change and happen.Shows, Like art shows and art events, Music events,events that raised money for charities that we were all behind e.t.c.

I am way behind the whole street art movement and have participated in it. To the extent of which I am not free to say but it’s REALLY fun. Besides, what blank city wall wouldn’t benefit from a little artistic creativity. Street art is magnificent to me because it takes Art out of the world of galleries and commerce and into the lives of everyone who happens to see it. It can bring awareness, make you laugh, make you curious, make you angry or just blow your mind with it’s beauty. It’s the next frontier for the art world I think. Street Art is True Punk Ethos. I have shown links a few times to some pretty awesome street artists that I’ve found over the internet such as BLU, BANKSY,SPACE INVADER, to name but a few. Look them up they’re great artists.They inspired the hell out of me when I was stuck.

Music is another awesome way to make art in that it is uncontrollable, at least it is when you’re really going for it. When you play sometimes amazing things can happen, things you never saw coming. You can get completely carried off by what you are doing and elevated to a whole other level artistically and creatively. I’ve been playing music for years, well since I can remember and am only now starting to share it out beyond LA and Im ecstatic about it. I wanna record more so bad!! It takes moolah though so That’s what Im trying to figure out. Thanks to you guys’s purchases of my single It is helping me get to the point where I can keep recording! YAY!

Now, i know ALOT of people, in alot of countries, I know alot of great people and many of whom would probably be into doing something like this but it does take alot of preparation and planning which is not something Im usually the boss of. I tend to be on the art making side of things, however this could change in future. we shall see.

I’ve been thinking of Merch. I don’t want to just do the normal, t-shirt and sticker things. I will do that but I wanna do more than that as well. I have a friend that’s helping me to get my stencils for ALM ready so I can give them to you via the interweb!:)

I’ve made some pretty cool ones. You can use them as you like:) I have some pretty radical ideas that I think would be cool but I need to flesh them out and see if I can make them a reality before I start blabbing about it!! HAH!

As soon as my brilliant, trusted, internet webmistress and dear friend Shannon has time we are going to get started on the ALM site for my music and also for the art .Perhaps they shall be two separate pages we shall see.

I had a really neat Idea about making a book of self portraits. Getting as many people as I could to take a photograph of themselves or make a piece of artwork about themselves that truly bears a part of their soul in their own eyes. What do you think about this? I’d love to know. I personally would be very interested to see what say, 100 people did. How they saw themselves and what they’d be willing to give to the world as a true representation of a part of who they really were. It’s not an easy task, not an easy task at all. Im not just talking about dressing up in your best duds ,doing your hair and striking your best sexy pose. I mean something really raw and true.

Anyway as I say, I got some cool ideas and am letting them float around and see what happens…….hihihhi

Ok, back to listening to Neil Gaiman’s Graveyard book:)Im on chapter 5!!! If you want to, check it out ,It’s really actually extremely cool. Even if You are not familiar with his work, This is an excellent story AND he reads it to you! go to

mousecircus.com then click on Video tour. Below you will see the chapters he reads. It’s great cuz I’m sick in bed and I can just lie there and listen to a brilliant story:) Hmmmm. Im a lucky girl.

    Hello, wow..i must say that was a very lucid dream! The blue or the yellow tablets? cough,cough.(just kidding!)

    Have you considered buying ur own recording equipment?
    You don’t have to buy everything all at once, but it’s a wise investment…saving you many thousands of dollars in the medium to long run. In lieu of paying for endless hours of studio time. I did it..and it works!

    Write on..bring the ALM, I am ready!
    Much love, one love.

    PS: are those really ur lips up above there?

    You are feeling creative and inspired,i found this interesting and just wanted to comment on one thing about what you said about how expensive it can be to make and get out your music because this is so often the problem people have,they are great musicians or artists but have a hard time because they are so busy and caught up with just working and day to day life trying to pay the bills and buy food and survive that its hard to fulfill their dreams.

    Man, I can relate to the fever sick thing. I too have been kinda ill lately and also had many visions while feeling me worst. I think your idea is pretty cool. I kind of let some of my inner self go when I paint, would a painting of my inner self suffice for a submission Fairuza? You are the greatest babe

    This website is magical, the only place with such bright, interesting and honest posts and comments.
    Hope you’ll be feeling better soon, thank you for sharing.

    And I’m gonna hope for a dream where I’ve got an army too, to fight spammers who’ve infested RSS in here. Grrrrr.
