It has been awhile, Holidays over, back to uni. 

Holidays was alright, good sleep ins and spent alot of time with these guys.

Feasting and drinkin' meetin new peeps.
Workin, and actually finished a painting I've been doing from a few days ago for this nice orthodontist lady.

I'm actually really happy as to how this turned out in the end! Currently in a gold frame ready to go~

Did some baking: Green tea n choc cheesecake, Cream cheese donuts, lemon tart.

Did some cleaning that took daysss! Now currently in the same state/mess as before -__-". It can never stay clean. whyyyyy?!?!!

Attempted some sewing after a long time.. 

Little Boy and Munta.
During the break.. one of my dogs died.. you may remember Fluffy the brown pomeranian dog that ate my sausage. Sad times, was kinda unexpected. r.i.p Fluffy. Now there's these two buggers left! Little boy's so small and cute..

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.

Stripes!

The year is getting so close to an end! Soo much to do in such little time although it doesn't feel like it now. The past week haven't really been up to much besides sitting and thinking. I am totally chilling my way through this. Actually finished reading Jon Bergers 'Ways of seeing' and I'm not really a reader.. interesting stuff esp on publicity (for me). Currently, started a painting (Mr.Q), fail shoot, need to do start essay, more studio work, comission for CC, job search. make canvases. 

Haven't been actually drawing drawing but here's one from yesterday of pa and his bird. 

Just finished watching 'Symbols' with Hitoshi Matsumoto on sbs. It is such a cracka movie. Could not stop laughing. A guy in colourful pyjamas trapped in a white room with these little penises along the walls which when you touch them some random item magically appears and he just tries and escape the room. Also watched The ring (Japanese version), Amelie (again), Padre Padrone.

I need to let go from being safe, restricted, confined. EXPERIMENT. Or I'll be stuck in a mud pit..

I feel like a failure. What is with my responses.

Woop di doo

Naughty chums.

It has been awhile! so many things to update on, kinda. Been starting on theory work for a presentation in 2 weeks and a textual criticism. It has been stressing me out that I can't do other work without thinking about it. My current prac work is not going so well as I'd like it to either. After the break, I've just gone blank. Made canvases today. Here's some things I've created so far. 

Greetings.

Oink.

Dot, I think I may have wrecked it.

Went to the Art Fair this few weeks ago and made some of these monsters on monster land! The art fair took the whole day for me and K to look at everything. 11am til 4.30pm. craazy. 

'Cat house' : Painting done on holiday break.

Shoes for Cindy's cute cousin!

The day I sliced my finger from cleaning a microwave safe can container.. shivers. I can still feel the pain writing about it now.  eep,

Kitty and his new furry friend.

Munta!

Spent days cleaning out junk in the backyard and my room. It's that time of the year where people clean out things to their front yard. I have to say.. I'm one of those people that likes to go collect some of those things.. The excitement of looking and finding. Picked up a new dog kennel similar to the one the dogs have now and a little play house thing for kitty! and various other treasures that I think look cool but don't really need.. 

My drawing on animation class is also officially over. Watched everyone's animations and man they were like really good especially the ones with a bit of humour in them. I felt mine was pretty Eh. playing near the end but I'm happy with what I've done.

Besides all this... got a new addition to the family! Welcome Munta!

He's just the cutest little shit. Feeling sorry for kitty though for not giving him much attention..

Anyways watched The Amazing Spiderman the other day. When I saw there was another spiderman coming out, I was like nah this is gonna be crap, why would they make another one when there is already 2 or something and with another guy? wasn't planning to watch it at all BUT in the end it was really good! quite enjoyed it and exceeded my expectations.. Andrew Garfield the main guy is strangely attractive, even his walk is a bit strange but I like it. Also watching him on Ellen unexpectedly before this, I had the same expectation when he came out but he was somehow very charming and lured me in to watching the whole thing.

Cleaning is taking forever.
