Orientation

Okay so my orientation was on the Wednesday and Thursday. Met some friendly people. It was fun and awkward at times. A lot of talking and walking was involved.


Bought a nice furry hat after which I wore til night time.

First day. All the Undergrade people had met up together in one auditorium.
Listening to people speak, a game, then tours with a group of people and more get to know people games. Also free lunch! but on the one day I don't eat meat and junk.. I was so shattered. All I had was one piece of bread and little potato salad cubes. My friend who I just met asked ' Don't you eat meat?' I was like I LOVE meat but not today.. sigh. little carnival. alot of sun.

Second day of orientation just for visual art people. We finally got to meet the teachers and the people in our actual discipline. Painting teachers gave us info with timetables and all that then we got allocated our studios! F. It felt oh quite small and limited compared to RMIT's one. There was free lunch after! which I didn't get cos the line was long and I didn't want to wait in the burning sun.
It didn't hit me then but while waiting for the train I was so happy, I squealed so bad inside. I just couldn't believe it.

Spontaneous mixed media piece.

Camberwell

Old.

Went to Camberwell market this morning! Was my first proper time there besides the other time where I went and they were all packing up.. There were soo many stalls! mainly clothes, most are cheap and are at reasonable prices. So weird, there was a guy that had a stall there that I knew whom I met on NYE a few years ago. Nice that he remembered me. Bought some beanies and some clothes.

Here's two things that I purchased..


HerPony dress, and a yellow cat shirt! I can't believe I've become this person.. Both 3$ each!

Even though it took awhile to get everywhere, the weather made it soo urghh. Was sick and tired of the place although I still wanted to look around if that makes sense.


Ron sketch, late last night.

TheLexingtons

A lovely band all the way from Los Angeles called The Lexingtons have used my sketch of the paper crown boy as part of their flier!

Famine Affair

Went out with J to NGV:Mad Square, had dumplings and waffles. The mad square was goood, inspiring. I loved Hannah Hoch's collage works, the little short films and all the portraits in the exhibition. These works were mainly about the war era and how it has affected them, time after. Ending soon early March.

Friday: Woke up really early today, well than usual to go to the city to do an english test. I really do not know if I did well.. I missed a few questions. First major thing to do for the start of the year. Quite horrible. Bought some cheap canvases after at Art Riot, as they just started their canvas sale til the end of the month. Should keep stocking.

Valentine

Dudes

Today's sketch 'Bar smoker'. I was kinda inspired by this guy, Luke Dixon . His stuff is pretty mad.

It's been a long time since I've done a proper sketch, well using pencil. I normally use black pen and draw little characters with no eyes. It's quite different compared to my other things. I am liking it, keeps me focused! and I'm improving slowly.

Yesterdays sketch, 'Silence'

1. that kept me going on the others.

I don't know what it is.

Choc chip scones!

I had the urge to do something today so I made some scones! I haven't really made them before, I don't think but they taste good. Go me!

Fin!

Beard man tote

One bored day.

Rider

Swimming in the morning. So so early. I don't actually swim swim, just doggy paddle now and then. haha. Most of the other days, I've been waking up at like 2pm and then my day is over by more sleep. So many lazy days. Orientation in 2weeks! kinda excited and nervous.


"Rider". Little gouache piece, just to get me going. such bad quality.

OK Go always has a sick video.

Pool

Moving kinetic sculpture by Theo Jansen at Fed square. Haven't been out out in awhile until today. Hanged out with T and P.

I suck at pool but it was fun.
