Vague attempt at working out why I payed $45 for 24 prismacolour pencils instead of $12 for 60 crayolas.
I think it's got something to do with how much the prismacolour pencils break.
Which is a lot.

Part of a hugeass hatching exercise we had to do in one of my classes. It was cold as hell  and windy + the sun decided to spend most of it's time behind various clouds making shadows stupid. I still need to finish most of it D: hatching takes for evers.


& the rest of this is just lala out of my diary thing, gaia shiz or from when I'm on skype talking to my mother cool people

& what was meant to go in the last entry, but I couldn't get things to work at the time.

Boring sketch and/or other things dump time.
( clicky clicky )




 

Soooo~ I've got a photography project to do for uni. Because of this, I've spent the last couple of days taking a bunch of photos to get an idea of what I want to do. So far the only thing I've come up with is face paint. Yay.

Quick doodle of a costume/character idea I'm trying to flesh out for a photo shoot I'm doing...tomorrow. Ahahah. I hate photography. I really, really, strongly do. A lot.


A rough and badly scanned draft for a tattoo I was thinking about getting. But now probably aren't since I'm not getting any Rudd money (aka, financial crisis package...money...stuff. I'm tired, the word will come to me eventually.)

upside to today:
My steampunk hairpin and goggles arrived today & I spent $93 on CD's.
I am completely broke for when I go to sydney in 4 days D:
at least galleries are mostly free.
 

k, so I'm finished school now.

HSC starts in a week and I haven't really studied at all.
Need to do that soon.
English paper one on the 17th and paper two on the 20th.
I've not no worries about paper one, it's paper two I always really fail at (65% last time. I need at least 80% in everything).

ANYWAY.
I've had two weeks holidays which means I've been doing some fun stuff. Would do more arts, but I have no paper around at all. It is a pain.

Here's some things I've been working on anyway:

( ART YAY YAY YAY )

And uh.
Yeah.

That last one is very much just for the 'lols'.
I felt I needed to draw a almost-naked elf dude.
Or Bastion from Valenth.
Whatever.

Well.

Weeeeell indeed.

Recap, I supose~?


1) 16th September: MAJORWORKS TOGETHER WAT? (aka, 'I had to put my major work together finally and spread dried flowers all over the place and then light half a packet of matches)

So, on Tuesday last week I found out same amazing (read: annoying, dumb and just down right stupid news) about my HSC major work and it went a little something like this:

2) 18th September - 21st September: Moorambilla (aka, that thing that actually has culture that happens in my town)

So this thing has happened for the last three years, but I missed the first one (I went to see Placebo in Canberra that year). This year was by far, better then last year for me. I actually got to meet/talk to people, whereas in previous years I just kinda...go and sing (ya, I'm in the Coonamble Womens choir. fear it. we're bitchy and shit).

I think I'm pretty much just going to be known as 'the chick who got up and danced to The Loney Horse Band' or 'the chick with the makeup'.

I'm also wishing I'd taken my camera for the first few days, and not just the first so I could get some more photos/ start my photography hitmenship earlier (when ever I"m in group events like that I pick people I want to get portraite shots of (doesn't matter how bad a shot) and then get them to sigh my little book...thing). Buuuuut, since I only had an hour to do it in, and I forgot my book, I kinda failed.
I've got some video stuff, but I don' actually know how to uploard it/ convert it to the right format to upload. They're .mov files. I don't even know what the hell plays .mov files (well that's actually a lie...).

Best thing about the whole event: you can say you're planning on doing an art course and no one gives you that "OH, so you wanna go to art school" look.

Anyway. Photos.
Most of these are from my little game, so they're candid/ just snap shoty things + I'm a pretty dodgy photography (Snakey McShake Shake is the name...)




Last song of the last concert of the last day: The Hallelujah chorus
I'm in the second row from the back. Between a bass and an old lady who yells rather then sings. Confused I was (plus, I'd been uber flat all day due to little sleep and general suckyness)
Since I lack single shots of a few people in this, I'll just use this one to explain a few peopel (to those who care)

Dude in white shirt on right side (bottom of stairs, with snares infront of him) {aka, Damian): pretty darn awesome guy. Met him the day before at a Jazz workshop (well, to be honest, the I met him at rehersal on friday, but that was just to ears drop on his pronouseation of the latin in 'O'fortuna').

Lady in black short sleeved shirt, in front of kid in grey: So, she's pretty much the most amazing singer I've met. Does everything, but particularly Jazz and Blues. Billy something is her name. I'm terrible with last names. She had spiffy earings.

Lady in white shirt on the right, leaning on stair case railing: One of our choirs orgnaisers. She's just plain greatness, at least in her ability to organise shizz.

There's also the twins in there, who were just so darn cute (in that 'you just wanna squeeze their cheeks way) and some others who I've completly forgotten.



These two ran an Opera workship (which I didn't get to, but heard a little of), and are just down right ridiculously amazing. 
They did a little thing based around the 'Diva' character that most female opera performers play. She ran around the theater dieing.
Hip thrusts were also involved.



They also pulled out the bull horns as well.




The chick in the glasses in my choir's director and my old math teacher.
Also bought a HEAP of my prints last week.
(the dudes her dad)



Rose (?) from Wilcania, who we met on Saturday before our performance.
She was on my 'ninja in and take photo' hitlist.
One of the few I actually got that worked out...



The director of the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Choir, who I'm sure I've met before but I have no idea where from.
Also a member of my hit list...




The mother-in-law of the festival's artistic director, and a lady who offered me all kinds of help when I go to Sydney next year.
Again, member of hit list.
(hence the dodgy pose)



Dude from the opera workshop. Hit list member and fan of yellow sports drinks.

ALSO a little intimidating in appearance.



Claude. Claude is awesome.
and a hit list member.






Luke..someone.
Pianist and generally talented dude.
and a fine example of while I don't use complicated cameras.
 

 

 

 

Yeah, so while I'm waiting for some CD's to rip (yes, yes I do still buy CD's....) I thought I'd write an entry up. EXCITING OR WHAT>

oh, I do so like the capitals.

anyway.

four weeks until the HSC starts. I'm beginning to think that perhaps, I should start to study again. I need a +80UAI . Blah.

Anyway.

 

screwing around in photoshop.

 mmm. unaided realism.
It wasn't intended, but she looks freakishly like my self.
Her nose needs fixing though




I be hating on my english and design classes. One is just boring and the other is painful boring.
