And yet

His adorable little face just makes me sooooo happy! Who would've thought a baby of mine could be so cute?! I can't work out what colour Angelo is though, hes quite different from Kevin and Colin... kinda yellowy-grey.



It's not a bad picture considering it was taken on my 5 megapixel phone... camera's still broken, jessops couldn't fix it :(

Feeling a bit



Yes I used a doodle to finish the sentence, we all do it. (right?) I'm not in the best of moods today, halfly due to being a bit ill and halfly due to being a bit stressed out :( really wanna go back to uni soon, summer holidays are much too dramatic!

Felt pen + Water. No i didn't actually DIP the felts in the water, stupid.

Fine Art - don't do it!

Looking at kids drawings of animals n then hearing them try to describe that animal:



Children's style drawing made out of material showing a journey
:



Fine art was really hard, everything we did (even lil plans in our studio diarys) had to have loads of work, time and effort put into them, along with tons of boring research and annotations describing why we drew each and every line. We rarely got to have fun... take it from me, don't do fine art! This was probably the most fun and less serious work i got away with.

If anyone can help me that would be really nice of you, its an olympus E-420. otherwise its off to jessops tomorrow... im really stressing about it as it's like my baby lol. Haven't done much arty stuff since last post, definately nothing worth posting anyway. you could say i have other priorities now... ;)

Made an envolope



Might change the button to a better one, but i aint really fussed, just wanted to see if i could do it. Zombie night tomorrow!!

Busy...

I'm actually sorta in the middle of something, so all you're gona see today is a double pager of a studio diary thing i did over a year ago in my prison sentence of a foundation course, basically studio diarys were to try things out in etc, i mostly just doodled shit like this in mine:



I feel this sorta suits the mood of the week for a lot of us... anyway i now need to make a very impressive zombie outfit for tomorrow as we are going to cheekies dressed as zombies for my friends birthday (which falls on friday 13th!) i have a friday 13th page in a studio diary somewhere, will post that tomorrow if it's around.

Santa baby...

It's very sad if you actually noticed, but I didn't post anything yesterday breaking the chain. This my friends is because i actually do have a life. And during this busy busy life of mayhem and adventure, i rarely get much shut eye. And when i do manage to sleep, i dream of things like following cheryl cole around blackpool. Oh and this:



I certainly hope theres a module next year about using things out of context, as there are 3 main things messed up about this drawing. For one thing, why would santa be in a department store? Secondly, he's taking something into a department store instead of taking something out, and thirdly... well i think that ones pretty in-your-face. My unconcious mind just so happens to be sexually confused. lol, definately only my 'unconcious' mind though.

"What have ya done today...

To make you FEEEEEEEEL PROOUD?"
Well Heather, today has been quite an accomplishment, as i actually managed to use a sewing machine for a good 40 minutes without breaking it:



However i did manage to get it jammed about 10 times, and then decided to just leave it alone before causing any real damage as it is not my own. Also today, I saw 3 fire engines (all at different times), taught my Mistymoo how to use our new cat flap, started working on a birthday card and helped my good friend pick out her perfect wedding dress. And now im making a mini native american chief's headdress. So basically, done everything aside from this silly animation uni project i was supposed to have started in june.

Happy just to be!

This aint finished; I still need to sort out his clothing, make a headdress and do his face paint properly (the lines you see on his face are just drawn on via photoshop lol) But wanted to upload it now before my hyper rascal kitten gets hold of him.



As you can see my friends, i have been doing something moderately productive since the last post. Without the use of a sewing machine... who needs them eh? We can get by... i also bought some sketch books made out of banana trees! They smell really exotic, not like bananas though.

HOW

If you could go back in time and be part of any culture, what would it be? I'd go for Native American, cause you get a tribename and wear pretty things whilst dancing and sit in drum circles smoking pipes. And you get a great wedding ceremony!



I designed a totem pole that i shall make one day when i become amazing at woodwork. its supposed to be an eagle, a tiger and a monkey;



Did I mention that it's going to be illuminous?



You'd think i'd have grown out of using photoshop filters by now, but it just looks so cool!
