Ready, set, go

  

  

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.

Movies

Mon Oncle- 1958

Great French film! Loved the ultramodern house. 

Tom Boy- 2011

Requiem- 2006

Grbavica- 2006

Just Another Love Story- 2008

Partners (Complices)- 2009

All these movies are great!  Been watching on sbs and the first two borrowed from the library. Really recommend watching Mon Oncle, the architect design, the characters, the filming, it's just oh so great. 

Sunny [+]

It has been a good stress free productive, I guess, week. Also got my hair cut.

Two days in the studio. I've made this square canvas to paint a pattern on but found another for it so I painted this portrait of my little baby cousin.  

Wed: had mid semester reviews.. wasn't so great but now actually motivates me to do things. Started to paint this doggy.

Thu: finally got round to hanging my stuff on my wall. been meaning to! but had the wrong nails.. Also went to the art forum thing for the first time this year. It was pretty good.

Random thing I made on Friday night.

Was sunny day out today washed the dogs, went bike riding, made some jelly and some Choc chip scones! as well as painting.

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.

I have been falling downhill. Someone nearly got me. It's like a therapy session that makes you think and let everything out but no not me. Well not today. I have found my way again but haven't attempted anything yet. Soon oh soon.

Have a piece in Proud 2012.
