Zoo time

Cooking some lobster

Went to the zoo with the family this sat morning since we got free tickets, somehow. The weather was lovely! just like this whole week has been but I've spent most of it at home looking after my little niece.. sketching ideas for painting, starting research for this essay and still need to do sketches for the qvm thing. urgh on that. My universal charger is dead :( I need to revive my nikon.

Anyways here are some photos of some animals at the zoo.

On the train

Been slacking in blogging. Church is whats been happening. Saturday was my depressing sick day. Sunday niece's 1st birthday. Monday out with a friend.

Entered this for fun in The Love is here comp on fb.

Paper crown boy

My day consisted of sleeping in, going grocery shopping, church, playing with my niece and that's about it..

To make my day more worthwhile I just drew a quick sketch of this cute little boy in Papier Mache. I quite like it.

Plates

Today came to class on time but only arrived to see only two people have turned up including me. We had a new teacher that was introduced last week and she was quite shattered that not many came. She is quite nice! and likes my works that I've been doing.. well that's what she said. Anyways about 4-6 people came eventually which was better. Didn't really do much for these 4hours. Made my friend draw a pic on a plate for me since she had nothing to do and her works are awesome. After had art business class left half way then also skipped late theory class. I'm such a good student. Yay on easter break now! Only a week though. Time to start on that essay...

This is what I got! and I traded with this..

This is what I drew on the train home on Tuesday.

Dreams Come True

Monday went to the Dreams come true exhibition at ACMI before class with my mum and Christina since it ends on the 26th April. It was alright, Tim Burton was way better though but I think it's pretty mad how they animate stuff back then and the way they paint everything is so wowsers mainly using gouache and ink together or acrylic. One second of a film takes like 25 frames to make. Crazy! Imagine a full movie.. gosh. Only stayed there a bit since Christina was so annoying and kept wanting to go the other gallery there with the games and all. They both thought that place was better than the Disney since it was free and more interactive.

Here is some time slice we took. It's meant to look like some matrix thing.

late night weekend painting.

Pooka

Been watching movies lately! since I've learnt to borrow them from the library.. Life as a dog, You're my hero, Scott Pilgrim vs the world, Edward scissorhand, Harvey, Sid and Nancy, The science of sleep and now The shining. All in four days. I don't know how these will help me but I'll just call them inspiration. Had a nice meal with Susan today filled with dumplings and noodles.

Started on a new painting also of Fluffy (the right one) and some others.

Spent yesterday morning and today watching videohits where Linda and I were waiting for them to show clips from the day we saw Tim&Jean. I thought it was on the 9th but it was the 10th. Anyways we just tried spotting ourselves in the crowd. Well.. I did ha. On Sat celebrated little sisters birthday. Also started painting fluffy on an oval board. Sunday continued. Took some photos of my dad's new canaries. Here's one.

Rah rah rah

Had early morning class which I turned up late once again looking like I just woke up from what my teacher said. Just fixed up my studio area and drew this~

teee it's bunny boy. Afterwards met up with Annie where we ate at Lentils and browsed around in Kmart! Was quite a sunny day, I was expecting it to rain. Stupid weatherman.

I made these on Monday night, just cos I felt like it and wanted to try this recipe out. It is Green tea Madeleines! but I made them look like mini cupcakes. Not a big fan of green tea but it ended up alright.

Tim and Jean

My signed ball that I'm stoked about.

Woo well earlier in the day I went with Linda to the paper shop then after headed to Birrarung Marr where the national youth week launch was at which featured a concert including artists such as The Vines, Tim & Jean and Jebediah! from what I read in the mx.

When we first arrived there we saw Kate and Summer from Neighbours!

Also Callum from masterchef. He's a cutie.

Then after went around getting free stuff including a cool 2gb usb.

We missed the Vines play but made it for Tim&Jean! who are pretty awesome. I like Jean.... he's such a cutie pie. He's 17 though and Tim is 20. I think they look a tad older than what they are maybe cos they're on stage and it's pretty mad that they're rockin it out there already.

Jebediah performing.

Anyways here's a little clip I just made of Tim&Jean.

Overall a goood ole day!

Another dog painting

Hello
Painting and sculpture class.

This is what I painted today in class! of my lovely dog when he was sick. I just love his expression even though it's sad. Still gotta add colour to his fur patch and fix the body a bit. I think it looks quite good the way it is, colour wise.

When painting I like to look at the progress of of how it came about. So I just snap a pic when I do any changes and see what can be improved. So here is a little before and after shot, also including my other painting from the earlier post that still needs some retouching. It makes me happy seeing that much change from how shitty it was before.
