~be sad but then be okay~

things i'm doing at the moment


some design-y stuff
i have pages and pages of these and i've been doing them for the last few years, i don't know why my brain is so hung up on these shapes, there is something calming and satisfying about them






no. 2 and no. 4 from series Foxy News
I want to learn to draw well so i've been practising

so yeah, they're obviously about how sometimes fox news is like a gossip magazine rather than an unbiased current events programme
i really need to flatten them with a phonebook


i received about 50 of these old school photos and i'm planning to do a piece with them all, real excited about that

oh and i made a song playlist cause someone anonymously asked me to :-)
HERE IT IS
yeah so i don't listen to that many bands so yeah a lot of my favourite songs are from the same bands... DUH

that's all

~short pop in~

DEAR DIARY
i'm bored so i made a blog post


i took this photo cause i felt sad that everything i was doing was for school


old photo that's suppose to go with the barbie series


two of my series i've grouped to apply for internships lols
the group on the left was for school last year and the one on the right i did in the holidays for fun
it's interesting seeing over time what stays and what gets left out


two songs i've been listening to a lot lately

~like ma man stanley tucchi does~

i've had that lyric in my head all day, don't know if it's right...













photos from today, kind of based on the colours etc on wes anderson movies (was kinda accidental but then just went with it)
thank you frances, pearl, and rose for being my friends
bfm summer series this saturday!!! cool as line up, The Golden Awesome are playing!!! i saw them once and I LOVED IT
newest additions to my great art collection....


Tried to use my doll chucky for scale but then i realised nobody knows how big my chucky doll is.... basically the print is fucking big

PUMPKIN IS MY NEW FAVOURITE MOVIE, why had i not seen it before, i remember i put the DVD on my waiting list a few years ago but never ended up getting it. just everything about it, i even love it's 'flaws' which aren't flaws to me
It's about a girl in a sorority who falls in love with a retard(who is really hot...) and everyone is like woaah woah thats not ok. It's weird because you don't like her character at first cause she's so ignorant and her character develops real unrealistically but you still feel sympathy for her. and everyone else who later shames her out for liking the boy were originally shaming her out for being prejudice which is confusing but i love it. and the random outbursts of humour in reaaal serious situations lol
yeah so basically if i went on about this movie it would just be me saying it was so bad it was good over and over. i just love films about weird intense relationships and it was cool seeing one i real liked that wasn't 100% serious
It was buzzy seeing Dominique Swan from lolita not playing a hot nymphet. She plays an ugly bitch- and she suprisingly did come off like one! which means she must be a pretty good actress.
PS THE WHOLE THING IS ON YOUTUBE (with spanish subtitles..)




PS make KONY famous and remember Chris Brown is a bad bad man
i feel like having a dance now BYE
