Pop life

Boo!! well its 11.23pm and have just managed to sit down after a very busy (but fun) day in our capital london!! being woke by builders wasnt fun- but a necessity in getting up this morning!!
Last night had a chilled and happy night; was feeling light warm and fluffy and ready to go (well almost) when I got to london I realised I had literally NO PLAN!! Argh!! with only a vague idea that I wanted to see some art!
Anyway after randomly getting my palm read; having a quick coffe, and buying our local london timeout guide (telling me the latest on the city) I was good to trot (or was that hot?)
I was on my way to the Tate modern to see Pop life.. boy was I in for a treat?? over the millenium bridge to the gallery, not really sure what to expect. I would reccomend anyone to go there before it closes... (gotta be quick)I had heard some quite rotten reviews but I must say it was all so varied!! Highlights for me included a room dedicated to the artist Takashi Murakami, absolute japanese cliche pop culture but uterly fantastic. Of course (u may off heard) the porn room- was quite random... I wouldnt have been shocked to see a man masterbating in the corner... but it was funny, especially when I sent my mum a text telling her I was watchin porn in the tate!! (it was meant for someone else)...
Damien hirst supprised me though, with a cow floating in a tank. then turning the corner to find some random twins sitting on chairs lookin at a camera in their identical way, next to some of tracy emins work.... next there was jeff koons art,which recreated the newyork shop...it literally was an art overload, but too me it was soo inspiring
I really really loved seeing andy warhol's work most of all though, a man so completely brillaint, and bonkers!! he is actually funny, they had a few videos that made me laugh a few times......
It just goes to show dont rely on peoples judgements
sometimes its better to go along and make ur own mistakes...if they need to be made
whats more Ive learned some fantastic new artists!! (new for me anyway)
and hopefully it will kick me into action to actually keep on with my art.. not long before I have to hand my work in and I feel like aia havnt started.. wish me luck"*"
