Kitten Mittens

Work for group tute, Wk.8

My kind of 'style' has changed from what I've been previously doing. More playful and it still has a creepy kind of feel to them which I still quite like. I'm also getting back to the eyes! which is weird but better, they'll still won't be normal looking though..I don't think. It has been fun to make, still not exactly sure where it is going. There is going to be a little painting show next Tuesday at VCA. 

So many birthdays has happened in this month of April.. I quite dislike birthdays but I enjoy making the cakes though! All similar to the checkered one.

Christina's Cake, Mum did the decoration

Emilie's cake, My elmo!

Wednesday (Anzac day) Felt so shit. Day off, cousins and dad's friends came over. Celebrated Emilie's birthday. Just one of those days where I had a massive headache and wanted to tear up inside,whilst trying to stay maintained on the outside. This actually happens a lot thinking about it but it's alright. Kitty has been a big help

Went to the Finders Keepers Market last Friday night and got these! I love Dilka Bear's work. I went there rather early after class and there was a bunch of people waiting to get in or maybe it was for the taco bus..

Had a little presentation Friday, showed my little stop motion clip (another one of the baby in the shoe) which didn't really play properly/smoothly as I'd like) It was alright though, that class was soo long. Last week presented my watercolour window series which had quite a discussion..

These days I've been stressing over this stupid presentation and essay I need to do due wk10(1wk-ish). I know its quite awhile for some to get an essay done but for me, it's so hard. It still hasn't sunk in that it is due soon. I just can't put everything together. Actually procrastinating right now.. noo. 

Malk

'What am I gonna do today?' I have a little to do list.. but my mind is telling me not to follow it. Why am I a last minute person.


Home desk. Also new painting I started yesterday night.

'Malk', 2012, gouache on watercolor paper

I haven't used gouache for a while, I thought I could use it like watercolors. I knew that it'd be different. Blending was very hard and frustrating. 

I've made some foood.

Choc checkered cake.

Panna cotta w/coconut tuile, almond toffee and strawberries.
 It was surpringly delicious! and a bit fancy 

I've also made a pumpkin pudding which I was really stoked about when making it but it failed. Only one tablespoon was eaten.

Goody pls

I upgraded to the new blogger layout.. I am not liking it so much. They should have a button to switch back :(
Went to eat in the morning at a buffet in Footscray. Laughed at Dolan comics! They're so stupidly funny, I love it. Took and nap then went to church.

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

Hellooo I am finally back blogging.. from my random disappearance for anyone that cares.
What has been happening for the last four weeks.. Still kind of same old and bits and pieces. I have been sick since the second day of uni. It went for more than a week! I felt so dead. All I've carried around is my water bottle and a box of tissues. I have a rubbish bag full of tissues in my studio and even in my room. Wasted so much tissue. It was crazy. Well now I am officially all better despite the weather being what it always is. Uni has been alright. I don't really like Mondays. There is soo much talent in one space. Everyone's work is just wowsers. Well here is what I've been doing..

I still don't have much to say.

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.
