Mr.Q

Back to blogging! It has been a bit over a month.. This holiday break I've been actually busy and not sitting around that much~ yayer. I have found a job! feels good to see money rolling in my bank account again. Also been painting a commision piece for cc. 

Went to the Highpoint Christmas opening event thing with my little cousins where there was free face painting, those balloon people, costume figurine people.. It's nice highpoint is actually creating events these days like they're having some 12 days til christmas where you can get free gift cards, samples and other stuff. 

Munta and Kitty baby.
Oh gosh kitty has been sooo naughty. He pissed on a new karaoke machine my dad bought not long ago. -__-  This is the second time!! I feel so bad.. my dad would probably have threw him out the house ages ago if it wasn't for me. 

Brothers Paper book work.

Christmas tree put up!

From RMIT grad show 2012

From VCA grad show 2012
Also checked out the Monash grad show. I think out of all Monash  was better. 

Last night I attended a little event for my old principal who is retiring as principle. I was invited because I have painted him and was to present it as a gift from the V parents group. It was kind of random but he liked it! and everyone else did so it was good. It was nice to feel acknowledged for something I've done by a group of people I have never met. A lot of thank yous.
What a moment..

My lemon meringue pie!
 I've been wanting to make these for awhile now after watching 'Toast' (2010)  and it just came to mind few days ago. Haven't been baking lately but I am quite happy with these as a first attempt! actually took me 2 days to make.

Nissan

 Hi, few weeks of class left. One exam next Monday. Currently kind of working on video stuff which is different. Still lost/figuring out what I'm trying to achieve (even in painting). Had great individual tutes both leading me to do video things. Learnt about how to hang works. Finally finished making my actual first big canvas on my own, go me. Some intense times there was. Dislike asking the same person again for help, feels like I'm annoying them but whatever. Standing/wondering around awkwardly. I've been feeling quite happy then usual these days, still always tired though. A stranger wrote me a song, using the first letter of my name to start each line for the first para. So nice, no one has written me a song before. It made my day. One little project left to do.

 

On the Tuesday and Wednesday, Fed Square had the nissan car fuel thing going on and so there were these fuel tanks that were created by artists, which had various things ( some that also involves some free stuff!) Free coffee, popcorn, the age newspaper, bottled water, balloons, gum balls, even a barber was there to cut hair. 

Yes, gnome!

Zoltar, 20c he touches the white glowing ball, his eyes glows red and you get a card that says ' Your wish has been granted'. Quite creepy. I want one in my room.  ha.

I quite like all this and the interactions that happens even though I don't understand how most of them relate to the car, just that they all are fuel tanks. I made use of the free coffee so it's all good.
After all that was planning to go home but ended up going to the 3rd year drawing show at VCA. There was a dude inside making these expresso shot martini things. I think that's what it is. Quite strong.. and not that nice. I can't believe I drank it all. 

Party

Hola, my mac is alive again! thanks to my brother. Feeling so relieved after Monday, I've been stressing for weeks for this day and now it's over. Presentation done! Glad no questions was directly asked to me. Good golly. Official essay next week but Phew, now I feel lost and uncertain about where I am going with my prac stuff. I think it's gonna be a chillax unmotivated week. I had quite a good individual tute Monday afternoon though. A video project may come soon. I feel sad I don't really have any art stuff to show.

Site Specific exhibition @VCA.
