    Default [A]Big Fat Chav!

    This is part of my A-level problem solving unit.
    My problem is "How do I portray the working classes in contempory British society."

    This is the result.

    Oil canvas, about 100cm X 70cm.
    The flash went off, so it's all shiney.

    Wow, that really looks like the Chavs I see on those websites (we don't have Chavs in the US so that's how I know about them.) Great portrait, I like it.

    Thank you for teaching me the un-joy of Chavs. British white trash, now that's DAMN funny!

    *bows* Thankyou all for your kind comments.

    Ah, she isn't rich enough to afford burberry - even the fake burberry 'dahn marrket..'.
    Fear not - the painting I'm doing now includes burberry prints a-plenty.

    Yup, that's about right. Of course we're missing hooped earings/burbery/kappa gear/unwanted child in tow, but apart from that it's spot on. Makes me that bit more despairing of humanity.

    She does have hoop earrings! *points* =D

    She did have a child, but she got taken into care as she was only 13 at the time.

    I'm gunna call my chav "Chardonnay".

    You wanna be careful. If you ever became a world renowned artist you could make Chav fashionable. Then I'd have to kill you.

    Its a great painting, I like it.

    You know you're obsessed with FF when...:laughing:
    1) You yell at the characters. i.e "Cloud, what the heck do you think you're doing?!"
    2) You praise the characters and/or tell them you love them. i.e "Oh yeah, Squall!"or"Nice save Tidus!"
    3)You start to dress/talk/act like the characters and/or pick up their habits i.e saying ...'whatever' half the time,randomly pointing your finger in the air when you talk to someone,ect
    4) You talk about the characters as if you know them. i.e "Oh yeah, I think Cloud and Tifa should get together."or" Seifer such a big jerk!”
    5) When you're playing FF and someone asks what you're doing you reply "saving the planet".
    6) You mistakenly refer pounds/dollars/euros as Gil afew times.
    7) When you grow up you want to be a -SeeD/ Shinra Soldier/ Galbadian Soldier/ member of SOLDIER/ Sorceress/ Choco Sage/ Garden Master/President of Shinra Inc./ Turk/ Scientist/Summoner/Mage/White Mage/Sephiroth
    8) You wondered (or wished) one (or more) of the following:
    --You knew did know (and /or)knew someone as cute as Squall/Cloud/Irvine/Sephiroth/Vincent/Tidus ect,Tifa/Aerith/Yuffie/Rikku/Yuna/Rinoa/Selphie ect
    -You could go to Garden instead of school
    -You could play Blitzball in PE
    -You could drive the Ragnarok/Highwind
    - Chocobos roamed the forests near your house.
    -You wish you could use magic/materia/GF's/summons/Materia
    -You had a limit break
    :riiight:

    It wasn't intended to bear any resemblence to Vicky Pollard. However I think Vicky Pollard bears a resemblence to my 'Chardonnay', don't you think?

    Alas, I must state that the chav is already a fashion or sorts, albiet more of an anti-fashion. What with the Sun declaring itself the 'Chav' Newspaper and all these books 'ridiculing' chavs appearing on our shelves I think it's become the vouge to criticise our working class.
    A shame really - 'chav' culture has sold out.

    I proudly state that I was doing it with my art before everyone else did it. I heard a columnist doing it in The Daily Telegraph - you know then that it's got out of hand.
