What is with all this spam?

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

I keep getting spam comments coming up on my page where I have comments waiting to be accepted. It’s so irritating. How’s this: PISS OFF.

On a lighter note… this week has gone by much quicker than I expected it to. I still have my English analysis to do as well as the pictures for my art project, that I’m planning to draw with my wacom tablet. I don’t know how my art teacher is going to feel about me using two different paints on my painting, but I need to. It looks better in oil, but the irises have to be acrylic so I can use the acrylic based transfer on it. Any advice on this?

Had my drama group again tonight. It’s totally weird being the new one… it’s not like starting at a new school. It’s going into an environment where everyone already knows each other and talks about people or teachers you don’t know (well those who go to the same school) and they all know each other. Then I come in and I know I can’t expect everyone to act neutral just for me. They should carry on as usual, but it’s just weird for me. I haven’t been the only new one in a group for so long.

Text Project

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

I’ve been working like crazy to hurry along my latest art project for school. I won’t give away my idea yet, but here is my testing of colours.

Please don’t focus on the crappy eyes… they don’t look realistic at all. I was practicing using blue tones as the entire painting will be done with those. It is very simple and quickly done, but it gave me a better idea of what I am planning to do. The artwork will be based on Misguided Ghosts by Paramore, which is the text of the project. I don’t like Paramore at all, but I like the lyrics of this song as I feel it relates to how I’ve been feeling about things in my personal life. I’m going to try and not get all deep now xD

And my photography project is almost done. I’m so slow. The pictures are finished, but the display won’t be ready for another few weeks. My art teacher just put up the prints for the exhibition last week, but only by themselves.

Hi Patrick!

I didn’t actually realise anyone from school read this. Not that it bothers me. Hell, it’s not like I’m writing on here like it’s a fucking diary. Anyway… nothing to rant about really. I’m bloody exhausted -_- I managed to get quite a bit done in Art today, so that’s good. I still need to fill my sketchbook up with painting technique tests that I’ve left blanks for O.O I don’t know WHY I ever did that, because now I HAVE to fill them in! But I have my project idea, which we have to start next Monday. We only have four weeks left, before the control test which I’m looking forward to but also kinda dreading. Hopefully it’s something GOOD. The only hard thing is that when it comes to the actual TEST (after the few weeks of preparing it) we can’t ask for advice from the teacher. Which actually is no problem for me, because I never do that anyway. I’m stubborn, hate being told what to do and never believe anyone except myself. I’m real trustworthy (: lol

I might upload a painting I did of my idea later on to dA. It’s just a test to see how it looks and how I’m going to paint it. At the moment I’m planning to use transfer solution to put the reflections in the eyes separately as I don’t know how I’d paint them, especially with only blue tones xD

So pretty dull blog entry, I just like keeping up to date. Any interesting stories?

Misguided Ghosts

Sunday, December 13th, 2009

I think I have an idea for my latest art project. I’m not going to give it away (mainly, cause I don’t want it stolen ;P) and I’m not exact on how I’m going to make it. But I’m fairly certain on creating it as a painting. Our art teacher told us we could use any area of study, but painting would be best. And I agree. Art schools and examiners tend to want to know that you can paint and do all the basic stuff, so yeah. I’m really excited actually!

Don’t have much more stuff to share to the public. If anything comes up, I’ll let you know.

Well I am currently trying to back up my files, because my laptop’s getting slower each day, making weird noises and I don’t have very high hopes for it O.o. But the stinking external hard drive isn’t working!!! Ahh!! I think I’ve copied two folders and now it’s being all weird. It already took me an hour to get it to open up on my computer at all. Christ -_- Computers hate me.

Light Painting

Friday, December 4th, 2009

I’m interested in learning more about light painting, so this is my first experiment. It’s so cool! :) I’m totally serious about taking it further and doing bigger projects. If you have any suggestions, know any online guides etc, please let me know! Maybe one day I’ll be able to do this:

Haven’t been doing much else, been a bit ill and such (surprise surprise). I’m going into the art department at school tomorrow to try and do as much of the painting techniques as possible to put in my sketchbook. I also need to ask about my photographs so I can finally move on with finishing my photography project! -_- Phew.

The holidays start in about a week and two days! I’ve already done most of my Christmas shopping :P so I’ll probably just be working with photography, art, painting and such. I really miss going to the gym :( I feel like I don’t accomplish anything anymore when I’m not going. I only do aerobics and swimming at school (going running tomorrow morning!) and it feels pathetic xD Endorphin junkie <3
