Trash&Angry Boys

It's that time of the year to chuck out things. I'd go bike riding around the neighbourhood looking at everyone's junk. It sounds weird, but I enjoy looking at these things for some reason. Same time few years ago I took Little Boy for a walk and I found a basket, I was like Dorothy with her dog in the Wizard of Oz.

Anyways today went to eat at that Footscray Buffet once again but with the whole fam. I don't know if it's worth it or not but it's alright. You just need to eat your 18$ worth. After went to Highpoint to see Chris Lilley for Angry Boys!

Long cue already when we arrived.

Ridiculous!

The workload is slowly getting to me. It's like the first time in a while. Preparing for end of year exhibition(which is a pain), a project document to write tomorrow, artist with thematically connected works presentation next week, essay, more painting, start on sculpture. zz

Went to the Design:Made:Trade on Sat after my cousins little party. I don't know if I liked it but there was this motion area where there was a stuffed hand and these strings attached and each string moves a finger, which I found cool. There was also an area to paint a stool. Next day went to watch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows 2. It was goood. Oh so many awkward funny moments. I think I laughed at the wrong bits!

The Love is Here

Holla, long day of being half productive.

My entry in the Love is Here Project was chosen as well as 34 others! to be featured in a limited edition 25 page, A5, book. (Shown above) and also gets to be exhibited in Melbourne at Rancho Notorious from Tuesday 19th of July until the 1st of August and at aMBUSH Gallery in Sydney from the 8th until 14th of August. woo

Kat and Lid.

City morning

There was a bright light shining from the building near state this morning, just in that particular area. I don't know if it is always there but wow it killed my eyes.

Halfway through the painting. I sorta wrecked it adding the dog.. Anyways Congrats to Ellah, Ellen, Elouise, Stacey and Trish being chosen for the QVM project!

Littlest

Kitty and I. We are gonna go on a trip to the moon to get some cheese so kitty can lure some mice in so he can have some fun!

Been meaning to blog, but don't feel that motivated to.. maybe cos my blog is now filled with kitty. You may wonder where little boy and Fluffy are at, as they don't appear that much as usual. You could say I've been cheating on Boy. It's quite sad, I've been spending too much time with kitty.. he's still young and needs some lovin.

Anyways these days has been sad, it might be the weather. maybe. We get to find out which 5 people the QVM people have chosen tomorrow! One chosen to be produced. Quite exciting. I won't know til later since I don't have class.

Progress 'Baby dog head'; my sculpture idea. looks like a baby joey

Painting I'm working on atm. Little me.

Crown

Replaced by kitty. It's beenn about a month and a half and he has grown so big! double the size he was at first actually.

I wish he could of stayed this small!

I got my essay back from last semester and got some feedback. I did the stupidest thing but I did quite good though overall, I forgot to actually put the question in. That should've been the first thing to put in. The essay we had to do was to create a question for ourself that would help us with the work we are doing now. Ah well.

Unfinished painting I did today in not so many hours. Planning to paint over it with maybe a dog and wiping it away.

Olivas inspired painting! Making it up in the spot, the hair really annoyed me. She was meant to be wearing a cone hat at first, but that failed.

BBus

Back to class. Finally bought a charger for my cam! which now looks shitty compared to the canon, for not using it after a while. The day my train line is not on the go for 2 weeks.

Misery Children

I found a cool artist today by the name of Kathie Olivas. Her works features characters of children wearing various animals masks, cone hats (like gnomes which is my fav!) that I've been wanting to incorporate in my work. Her work focus on imperfect characters that parallel a vision of post-apocalyptic conformity, uniquely documenting their own stories in a mysterious brave new world - Artist herself. I think my work that I've done (not many) resembles with hers somehow, with the young characters, the way they're dressed up and incorporating animals. The way she paints reminds me of Mark Ryden's with that smooth texture and tone that make the figures pop out. I just really love her work!
