I first heard Giant Drag at college when I was 19 after my friend Kieran introduced me to 'Hearts and Unicorns'. I played the album in my car endlessly for about 2 months during the end of a doomed relationship, until I inevitably lost the cd to the black hole that exists under the passenger seat where it was never seen again. </div>

WHAT A WEEKEND! Massive thanks to the guys at <a href="http://www.upfest.co.uk/">Upfest</a> for letting me take over one of their boards - my Upfest/street art virginity is officially broken! It's been an epic, paint-fuelled, sun-soaked 2 days, and it's amazing to be part of such a huge number of talented artists who come from all over to take part in the festival and turn Bristol's streets into a living, breathing outdoor gallery. I had a lot of fun experimenting and trying out new stuff like spray cans and markers, which was pretty exciting. I must admit though, it was slightly nerve-racking laying down a great big picture of my face! What was I thinking?! Thanks to all those who came with their support and a beer!</div>

I finished designing and printing my first ever screen printed gig poster at <a href="http://www.jacknifeposters.com/">Jacknife Studios</a> last week for the brilliant <a href="http://www.thedestroyers.co.uk/">Destroyers</a> show at the Fleece on Saturday! Feeling really chuffed with how it turned out and the appreciation it received from the band and fans makes the whole process so rewarding. Screen printing is fast becoming a real addiction for me, and I can't wait to get cracking on the next design!<br />
<div>
If you'd like to buy a poster, purchases can now be made by clicking on the link to my <a href="http://www.ashdawnclarke.bigcartel.com/">shop</a>. Each Destroyers poster comes signed and numbered out of a limited edition run of 100, fits nicely in an A2 frame and is hand printed using the finest water-based inks in the land. x</div>

<br />
So, I've been up to a few things this summer...<br />
<br />
As some may already know, when I'm not making things, drawing or writing, among other occupations I'm also a professional stilt walker. Which is why summer often finds me in a field, being a lot taller than usual and dressed as something ridiculous whilst surrounded by thousands of people.<br />
<br />
First up on our festival circuit this year was Sunrise, which turned out to be the mud apocalypse so sadly no stilting there, but as my first muddy festival it was certainly... an experience. And I don't mean a bad one! Though bringing a pair of wellies might have helped me out a bit, rather than enduring the, erm, lovely damp feeling of trench foot in a pair of second hand walking boots I immediately spent a fiver on as soon as I slid my way on site. But trifles such as appropriate footwear and keeping vertical were no problem for these two legendary loons who showed everyone how it's supposed to be done:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zlLOdMpCKJg/UHSe4Rh1_qI/AAAAAAAAAYM/10KyiE9Fgqc/s400/10_joe%2520clarke,%2520photographer,%2520mud%2520fight,%2520sunrise%2520festival,%25202012.jpeg" height="265" width="400" /></div>
<br />
<br />
Next, I was very excited to be at Secret Garden Party for the first time, which fully lived up to the hype. I was blown away by the sheer enormity of the creativity and effort that goes into making the site installations and the whole experience so special. Friday and Saturday were still no shows for us peg stilters, due to the lingering mud, but come Sunday the prevailing sunshine had given the ground a slightly firmer, yet rubber-like density, so it was off to join the New Orleans-stylee voodoo parade and finally have a stilt boogie.<br />
<br />
Nozstock was a fun little adventure into the heart of Herefordshire with the <a href="http://www.myspace.com/pariahcircus" target="_blank">Pariah Circus</a> crew....a sweet, chilled out kind of festival, with a more family-orientated vibe...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
....and after much anticipation, BOOMTOWN FAIR happened - the craziest, biggest, most upside-down inside-out festival I've experienced yet. My last time there was two years ago; unfortunately culminating in driving myself to hospital afterwards with chronic asthmatic problems (a long time coming really - don't smoke, kids! Assmar sucks!). Hence, I was really looking forward to being able to enjoy it this year. Finally, we were blessed with four days of beautiful sunshine too! And the cherry on top would probably have to be witnessing the fiery awesomeness of the three-legged arachnid Arcadia stage in action. The Arcadia crew put on the most incredible shows - if you get the chance to see one, don't miss it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was also excited to proudly unveil the new crow-inspired feather mohawk I made especially for the summer performances. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I <b>love</b> wearing this piece, it's big, showy and totally rockin!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

My review of the recent graffiti/music spectacular that is <b>SEE NO EVIL 2012</b> in Bristol is now available to read online at the <b>Fear of Fiction</b> website, feat. <a href="http://www.mybadsister.com/">My Bad Sister</a>, <a href="http://www.soundcloud.com/arsequake">Arsequake</a>, <a href="http://www.princefatty.com/">Prince Fatty</a> and <a href="http://www.soundcloud.com/bugnum1">Buggsy</a>.<br />
What an amazing event; showcasing such a wide range of homegrown talent and cramming it all into one massive street party! It's a great example of one of the many creative happenings and forward community thinking in Bristol that make me very proud to be a south west girl. Yes indeed.<br />

Great to meet some of the London crew and hang out with my <a href="http://www.collisionfilms.com/">Collision</a> family - feeling slightly worse for wear today, but still pretty stoked on the high of seeing my animated hedgehog puppet creations on the big screen and watching my name roll in the credits...!

NB - <i>The actor donning the tree suit was eventually confirmed as <a href="http://www.jezhill.com/" target="_blank">Jeremy Hill</a>, who played Hagrid's body in the Harry Potter films, <b>not</b> Tom as I originally drew in the designs! Either way, both actors are exceptionally tall. </i></div>

In the original design I had intended for the skin on top of the framework to be mostly made out of lightweight and organic materials like real bark and branches/twigs/etc which I knew I could fairly easily acquire around Bristol, and would also make the costume fabrication achievable within the 1 week timeframe and low budget restrains. But after the logistical decision was made for me to work as part of a team in London instead, this part of the design was difficult to implement. Fortunately, the discovery of a dead tree in Sammm's back garden the day before the costume was due to travel to Glasgow meant that parts of the costume could still be fashioned re. the original design (ie. head/shoulders/collar - the parts to be mostly seen in close-ups), with extra bark and tinted tissue paper/latex laid over to blend the other parts that had already been made. <a href="http://www.sammmagnew.com/" target="_blank">Sammm Agnew MUA</a> is the other half of team Tree Man and my fellow collaborator on the project.</div>

After a 9 hour road trip with the film crew up to Glasgow (kudos to our lovely driver Leandro who kept stoked on caffeine and never once tired!) and a much deserved rest, we headed out early the next morning to begin shooting. Our wonderful actor Jez is an absolute trooper and wore the costume from morning to sundown, being bundled into the back of a transit to travel from location to location - now that's dedication! He looked<b> treemendous</b> on film too hahaha sorry there really has been no end to the tree jokes.... Special Branch anybody?.....ahhhaa cough cough.</div>

Last autumn I was invited by the lovely director Emily Gray of Trestle Theatre Company to their arts base in London to discuss my ideas and inspiration for a stage adaptation of Oscar Wilde's <i>The Birthday of the Infanta, </i>after having spent three months earlier on in the year developing my take on the bittersweet fairy tale.<br />
Watching the one-woman whirlwind that is actress Georgina Roberts in rehearsals, I could tell this was going to be an exciting show to witness. Georgina is a superb mistress of transformation, moving from her portrayal of each character to the next with such ease and imagination that makes her performance an absolute delight to behold.<br />
