Yeah so it looks like someone has taken some of my pictures from here and passed them off as their own…? It’s a strange feeling. I didn’t expect anything like that to happen because, well, I assumed no one would see it as ‘fit’ for taking.

For all the RSS fiends who use Firefox: Check out Sage! I acquired it today and it is indispensable.

I have my mid years coming up. Eep! Luckily, I just have two: Psychology and the GAT.

I had such an interesting thought but now I’ve lost it. Bah. This is post is completely all over the place.

Also… I’ve given into temptation and signed up with Flickr! Mmm… Photos.

I know, I know. Neglect how awful! I will do something with this sooner or later but for now: I’ve put up my work on the WWW for the public eye.

I went to an art exhibition that consisted entirely of life sized photographs of old and dirty king sized mattresses. The photographer didn’t do anything to them, he simply took photos of them. When you think about, there isn’t much effort involved.

However. It was pretty brilliant. Art is almost as much new/interesting ideas as it is execution. Who on Earth would think of taking life sized photos of filthy matresses? It was all very Duchamp-esque, a Readymade. Sometimes it irritates me that so little effort can be put into making art, but I only think like that because I try so hard to make all of my work perfect and I put in a lot of effort.

I’m looking for fine art courses, and I might be going to an expo about improving ones art folio- There’s a strange finality about doing these things.

My perfect tattoo literally came to me in a dream. This morning, I woke up and I had an exact idea of what I wanted my future tattoo to look like because I was dreaming about it. Strange! I sketched it before I lost it.

Speaking of drawing stuff, I had my first art class yesterday. My teacher? AWESOME. He is SO COOL. I am going to adore art this year, and hopefully do well in it. I already have a vague idea for my final piece- Exploring identity.

Maybe it’s just me, but I get really excited when someone recommends something to me. Especially music. It’s like, cool. I want to know why it makes you happy/feel that way/enthusiastic! I really like people.

My posts have no substance lately. It’s like I’ve lost the ability to think about subjects for long periods of time…! (It’s happened just in time for school)

The new Sharpie Minis are very cool, and vibrant! When I draw stuff with them, they make me think “pop comic book art”, and they give everything that addictive pop art look that is good for inhaling.

My future art teacher? He dresses like a goth! He wears black 100% of the time. He is also slightly mad. He looks a lot like an older version of Tim Minchin, except with black hair. He is very passionate about art- Scarily passionate about art. In our orientation he swore at two guys who were mucking around. Of course, this only made things worse because we laughed. A teacher, swearing? He cried, indignantly, “This is me! I won’t try to hide. I don’t see the point in censoring ones language…” etc, etc.

We laughed even more.

To be honest, he intimidates me a bit, but only because he’s so intense. Which is why I’m celebrating that I finished the artworks for the class! Yaaay. I would put them up here, but they’re big and would take a horrible amount of time to upload. I like them. They are drawings. I hope my art teacher will like them. I am not sure if one my people is a woman or a transvestite…

According to him, to be successful in his class all you need is passion for what you are doing. I… Can’t tell you how happy that outlook makes me! It’s refreshing. Although, yes, he did say that because we chose the subject voluntarily he expects us to have some sort of knowledge, even if it is vague… Har.

Regardless of his questionable sanity, he is a good art teacher, so I’m looking forward to art class! That’s all.

Oh, yeah, and my blogs review has finished! Amanda wrote it and you can find it here. (It links to many useful articles that are worth checking out)
