Last day

Last studio shots for the year! It has been quite a year.. I don't know how to describe it.

Took down everything today. Now break time! I am in a pickle. I kind of need to choose between two jobs that mainly require night shifts on the weekends. If you know me, I hate choosing and can't really make decisions on the spot. It makes me feel sad to choose one. Why does it have to happen now and not before when I was actually searching. :(

I met a really cute guy last week on my first shift, but didn't catch his name or anything.. cos I was focusing on other things (actually working). There was so many chances but oh well.. I have also been majorly sick especially on Monday where my throat was so sore, felt swollen, runny nose, and so many non stop tears from morning til the afternoon.. even at the docs. By the end of the day my eyes were so puffy like mosquitoes have bitten them. I even went to see my brothers little art show.. and the next day I had an interview in the morning where my eyes were still in that same state.. I think it went well though.. Anyways I am much better now and the weather is just crazy.

Oh Oh Chéri

Mon: Presentation over (phew) felt so devo afterwards for the rest of the day though. headache.
Tue: Conservation centre. It was so interesting! was planning to stay home this day. Saw how they restored old artworks and went to this underground place where they keep all these docs on bureaucracy and all. After had lunch at Don Tojo with Kelly! was good.
Wed: Cleaned room. Attempt to work on criticism.
Thu: Went to the Festival of Nations at Melb Uni, food! takoyaki balls.Witnessed Gangnam style flashmob. At lib: Attempt criticism. At night found out I chose the wrong topic to do!! when I read the assessment page again. All my time wasted.
Friday: Finished it off! Started a painting from my slack of prac work.

Another paper due Mon! oh I like to procrastinate.

They can't even see me

wow I look like a sloth in clothes.

Exam over. I think I've finished actual classes now since Friday! which I didn't rock up to.. It was that day with the non stop raining, horrible. Now just got heaps of studio time to get ready for assessment. 

Painting of Christina, quite happy with (weekend).

On Sat, took my sister out to the city. Went to see the William Kendridge show before it ended on Sunday! It was amazingg, I should of went to see it earlier so I could go again just to sit and watch his works properly. Didn't manage to watch everything that I wanted to with my sister around, always bugging to go out to the game centre outside. The fruit ninja event was on at Fed Square too, got some free shirts which was cool. 

                            

Cupcakes I made on the weekend cos I was craving for some.. mm. Today I've made berry mousse and chieken, bacon, mushroom, corn casserole. 

Here's an awesome catchy song for y'all.

Banana

It has been awhile once again. Gonna try and get back to it. Easter break coming up.
Highlights: job which never called me back, throwing up for a couple of days, painting, analysis, seeing high school art teachers and just sitting around.

Morning class was planned to check out artist studios but it was cancelled! and I didn't know about it since I took the day off before (where I made a fail pumpkin pudding).. so I just rocked up there wondering why people weren't around.. lucky another guy came and found out. I was kinda looking forward to it too.

Things I did mainly today in the studio.

Sketch study: Unchained Melody (Bird lady)

In Progress: Darren


& the other two.

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.

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.

Reminisce

Went to the shops today, didn't buy much. I have been watching the tennis! I'm not a huge huge fan but I like it. Go Nadal and Djokovic! woo.
Anyways, most of the day I've been reminiscing old Kpop music on youtube with bands such as H.O.T, Shinhwa, JTL, the old Smtown, G.O.D.. etc. I think they're cool (even though they look so gangster) compared to the ones now. The ones now, I don't know who's who or what band they're in, they all look the same in big groups.

Nom nom jelly in my tummy.

Sketch of Jean Michel Basquiat. Inspired when I watched a documentary about him a while ago on tv. His work is amazing. He is such a cool guy. I like his attitude/response towards things.

A nice clip and music for you~

Elephant

Playsuit is so comfy. Kind of wasted my morning waiting for my driving lesson which I thought started earlier than what it actually was.

My first ever home working desk where I just made that body with no head.

Birds nest my dad found in our backyard. It's so pretty. One of the little finches has hatched!

oh kitty kitty kitty. He has been waking me up so early and if I don't wake up he'll jump on my face and then sleep on my tum or he'll wonder around and moan.

Movies: What time is it there, Whip it.

This song has been on my mind.

Young Folks

All time favourite

Made a cake today. Also the day I noticed how bad my bags under my eyes are. ew

O

VH

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.

Fox wants a ride

He's coloured! and on my studio wall. Managed to get some work done today in painting. I wanna post some pics up but then I don't cos it doesn't look finished just yet. Maybe later. Just felt like posting something. Here is a nice tune.

Gold fields and The Chemist

Helloooo just came back from seeing Gold Fields and The Chemist playing at Fed Square. Was goood! even the sun was shining. The main guy in Gold Fields was goodlooking, teehee the others are alright too. They are from Ballarat. I like their music. So sad, I filmed a section for 15min on my itouch but then when I look at it again, it's not even there. They played the song I've been waiting for them to play last Treehouse which I thought I recorded but unfortunately I didn't. The Chemist played after. Perth band, I think. I left after the second song they were playing that I wanted to see Lullaby #1. Glad I went even though it was by myself.

Here is my clip of a section of the gig. The Gold fields one is pretty long.... 3 songs though with my shitty filming.

Choo choo

Some awesome music

Little fish

One of the fishes in the store. RIP to you. I haven't been using this cos I'm still getting used to this mac and using my other laptop was waay easier to do so, to transfer stuff, edit and stuff. I haven't been up to much anyways so no biggy. Everything is in my black book.

Soo there is only about 2 more weeks? of school for me. after this week. So fast-ish. I want it to end but then I also don't want it to.. Seriously feels like I haven't done anything since the start of the year.

Farr it has been raining heaps today! I took the day off, even though I shouldn't cos I didn't go my morning class last week. oops. and I haven't done much in it. soo bad. Feeling sick, spent the day making my modroc babies. Also playing with videos, not today though.

5 top songs I've been listening to these days:

Christopher Smith - Gently Gently

Dan Black - Symphonies

Linkin Park - Waiting for the end

Red Ink - Battlescars

The Wombats - Tokyo Vampires

Here is a sketch of a plastic fish I brought in to Monday's class .
