Jo's shortened story | MND Association
http://www.shortenedstories.org/jo
Self-proclaimed ‘MND Warrior’ Jo Cole was diagnosed with MND in July last year. Her story is being brought to life for the Shortened Stories campaign by artist Sarah - who was herself diagnosed with MND in 2000 - using eye-tracking technology. Sarah has created Jo's portrait, entitled Mother and Child using EyeGaze technology. You can see how it was produced by clicking through the steps above. If Jo's story has inspired you, join with us and volunteer to help change the course of MND. I use having MND a...

The brand (Part 2), The making of | Michael Onona
http://ononastudio.com/2013/02/24/the-brand-part-2-the-making-of
Mdash; Michael Onona. The brand (Part 2) The making of. As I lie here under this bridge with a shopping cart full of my belongings and my trusty dog toto, I can see the dimming lights of the yellow brick road to fame and fortune, and I think to myself………fucking Kardashians. I remember the first time the branding of an artist really hit me. Monet’s blood, sweat and tears had been reduced to a pencil case. Gone were the days of coveting a postcard of your favourite artwork, today ‘like the art? Word of war...

Sarah Ezekiel: January 2014
http://sarahezekiel.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Friday, 24 January 2014. The Park that Died in 2010. Sturgess Park, NW4 (Photo taken with Tobii I-12 eyegaze computer). This is my local park. When my children were young there were swings, instead of an empty frame. There was a roundabout, but that has gone. The park was full of children, laughing and squealing with delight. It's usually empty now. My daughter is doing A levels and doesn't know if she can face university and the mountain of debt that will come with it. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Sarah Ezekiel: February 2014
http://sarahezekiel.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 25 February 2014. Prescription Drugs - Just Say No? I never took drugs before my diagnosis of motor neurone disease, not prescription ones anyway. Doctors don't really want to prescribe from my experience. 'Have paracetamol' is the usual response for everything. I wasn't depressed. My weight was critically low and it was a choice between a feeding tube or the antidepressant, Mirtazapine, which makes you munch. I knew that I had to do something and chose Mirtazapine.

Wednesday, 5 March 2014. The Selfies - Because I Can! I met Robert Powell at the Marie Curie Hospice in Hampstead. He opened their Christmas fair on 7 December 2013.

Elliot was the compere at Movement for Hope's Rewired. Very sweet and did a great job. An actor to watch out for. I managed to type 'I'm a big fan'. He said thanks a...

Sarah Ezekiel: Life Without a Voice
http://sarahezekiel.blogspot.com/2014/02/life-without-voice.html
Saturday, 15 February 2014. Life Without a Voice. I'm not saying all of the above to blow my own trumpet or to boast. I'm saying it because, every now and then, a situation occurs that makes me feel like the woman in the photo. Yesterday was one such occasion. They sent an appointee form but I threw it away, hoping that when I have to phone them again I'll get a more compassionate person. 15 February 2014 at 09:01. So no I am not able to do this. 15 February 2014 at 12:00. 16 February 2014 at 07:38.
