Regina Spektor lyrics which link quite well with my project at moment. I really like numbers and words.

"She like to keep her body clean clean clean. Thought the world could be quite obscene"

My space

Thought I'd post a few pictures of my desk or let you look at my art influences at the moment. I think all the images on my desk are inspirational in some way. They also mean I don't have to stare at blank boards as well as sketchbook pages! I know I probably should've tidied up my desk before taking the photos (just taken on my phone, so not great quality, despite my phone claiming to boast 8 megapixels) but I guess it shows how I'm working at the moment. I made some sort of progress this week by taking an image (sadly taken from google) and playing around with it on photoshop. I've experimented with numbering the surgical way of washing hands to show repetition of the daily routine and OCD. I am just worried that with all this fundraiser pr-ing that my uni work is disappearing rapidly. Last semester was more productive AND I had a dissertation to write. Balls. Anyway here's some of the flutter books I made... must persist with working not procrastinating!

Swash

My new favourite clothing line and illustrations! I love the idea of combining fashion with beautiful drawings. Here's the website if you're interested in seeing more. http://www.swash.co.uk/ss2010collection.html

I do love susie lau and her wonderful blogs!

Cheap Monday

I just like that word play, the fashion is pretty cool too.

Inspiration.

I can't seem to get into this semester. I am of course freaking out about this because it is my last semester of doj. It's strange that I can feel both fear of leaving the safety of art school, but wanting to make it on my own too. Sigh. I am doing my project on daily routines. I'm not sure how to illustrate it as of yet, and trying desperately not to have a melt down about it all. But it's not easy. Everyone seems in a similar (ish) boat though. It's just a bit over whelming, that after almost five years of intensive art training, that it's almost finished.

2010 post... a little late

I am trying to write regularly but it's proving tough. But considering my utter panic at the thought of graduating and being thrown into the real world of illustration and art, I should be going full throttle at blogging. Since hopefully someone will see some of my work and think, wow she's really great!!! First week back of uni was pretty useless, couldn't think of where to start. So did nothing at all, always helpful! But did start my poster project... a little past its competition deadline but nevermind no one else did either, and plus it was christmas! Here is an example of the kinda of crazy tea related "uniform" I should have created! This t-shirt freaks me out as well as fascinates!
