Passion Pit - I've got your number

2012-02-06T23:00:00.000Z

As usual I should be contributing my little bit to better the world but I think I should be allowed to not give a shiny from time to time (to a lot of time). My immediate desire is to wallow in my post self-indulgence guilt somewhere that is out there but not cared about (hello there, internet!) but I can't tolerate being pathetic. Instead I will write vignettes about the memories that certain songs bring back. Here's to five minutes ago.

My sardine-can room faced south into the other halls of residences, so it was cool and dark most of the time; despite this the window still permitted a lightly fragrant spring breeze to drift lethargically into my room. The days of pure azure sky and young jade foliage, contrasted by pale flowers not unlike my new favourite dress... translated onto a piece of paper my first spring days away from home were a beautiful heady scene, but nonetheless I saw unsettling greys. I preferred to stay indoors.

Backlighting, ya' know? I'm still lazy with a lot of things.

SEPTEMBER 27TH YOU ARE NOT READY FOR ME THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

It is Wednesday, I am just under 9 5/6 days away from unemployment of the good kind and have decided shirred tops are stupid. Spilling a few rambles over the internet makes a welcome departure from the usual use I put the mentioned to; today my neglected "art"blog has rendered Facebook and Twitter-I-never-knew redundant for the purpose of being able to admire a beautifully solid paragraph of text for my efforts.

Does a full stop cut it for a blog title? Aesthetically, it's small, neat and perfectly symmetrical (screw you palindromes). While giving off the mild diffidence I prefer there's a hint at the 3am internet-fueled semi-consciousness that I'm still struggling a little to rid, or maybe a lack of imagination. A little less of that would make me a happy happy girl.

Still deciding on whether I'm having a good summer or not. Notably le September seems horrendously slow in approach.

Don't lean on me man

Snowing quite heavily on the way back to university.

Just some rage and three kinds of yes

What I'm wearing today

By now I'm in university studying Chemistry (started 21st September). It's a blast and a bitch at the same time.

... and here's something I started on and haven't returned to. Yet. No references but somehow it turned out looking like Kristen Stewart, blaah. Photoshop/tablet works on my new computer, but there's no way the oekaki romance is over. I would just miss watercolour on ShiPainter too much.

what did you see there

2009-09-03T08:24:00.002+01:00

no dawn, no day

2009-08-26T14:40:00.002+01:00

i've always tried to run before i could walk

2009-05-07T22:19:00.001+01:00

oh umm, life! a lot's happening but i'm not remembering a lot of it, i don't know why i'm even blogging this hmmmmmmmmmhmm

I've been walking in the same way as I do

2009-05-01T08:45:00.000+01:00

She'd be the first to defend all those 80s trends

2009-04-25T00:54:00.004+01:00

It's summer yeah! My tablet's not dead :))))

Try to rubidoux in the middle of the night!

2009-03-29T19:40:00.002+01:00

i have a pretty long year ahead of me to play with because i didn't get into medical school the first time. what to do, hmmhmm? a lot of stuff to scan in and upload, but they're all minor because it's been absolute ages since i've put effort into anything artistic!

But we've been caught packing up the suitcase

2009-01-06T14:22:00.004Z

Life and all, I've been posting the same crap on devTART and nobody ever visits here. I dunno why I bother

but it looks kinda pretty having everything on one page that isn't a "shiny fucking art community woowoo", like a glorified e-sketchbook or something all to myself

then again it's internet. Nothing for myself

Both are imaginings of other people

It's the smiling on the package

2008-10-05T10:49:00.007+01:00

The little weeaboo in me had fun, it's a Bleach shinigami ohlaaaaaaaaaaaaaawd. Having the longass sleeves made this pretty easy by covering up everything...

I named her Harishin. Her eyes are squinty like Ichimaru Gin's, she's in 12th division and can synthesise/shoot glass out of thin air.

And that's when we'll explode

2008-10-04T19:31:00.007+01:00

Right, so I just acquired OC 4.5 and it's marginally more sexy that its predecessor; if only my tablet didn't go mad every few seconds and ruining stuff by leaving trails all over the place. Some lazy 640x460 dawdling:

You forget it in people.

2008-09-21T13:50:00.005+01:00

Approx. 7 hours in shipainter, best job of colouring skin so far imo. (y)

Now I think about it this was VERY different to what I had in mind, but I still like it. May try to paint what I was originally going for in acrylics or something.

Mural on the wall of a primary school somewhere in Tanzania. Yes, the zebra stripes are wrong (no reference ftl)

(The girl walking by is called Gopi, which is such a great name!)

durdurdur lyrical imagery

And red/purple highlights today, hoowar.

Realistically speaking

2008-08-10T08:46:00.005+01:00

Sup, I'm back!

Doodled in some lecture back in February

Sketching in a break from walking in Tanzania

Coming up with mural ideas for a primary school

The primary school we finished building. First page of my diary

A zebra with roughly correct markings

Trying to draw from memory on the way home

Now this one is old. I drew it in a free period after Maths and a Modest Mouse song I think, and never bothered completing it.

Treble tones

2008-06-24T20:11:00.004+01:00

Exams over (by quite an age, actually).

And... an old favourite for giggles.

Funny little frog!

2008-06-01T00:54:00.005+01:00

Mathematics. Lots of it.

HAITHUR

2008-05-21T21:54:00.003+01:00

This is fun. Kinda amazing I carried on for over ten minutes given how dead my hand was to begin with, having spent four and a half hours writing in the exam hall this morning. Oh, the English Lit exam was quality. These are of various friends (and a friend's friend).

Naughty bit

2008-05-20T21:08:00.004+01:00

I had my hair cut today (My friend Laura who's studying hairdressing at Vidal Sassoon did it for me, she's awesome at what she does <3).

Retarded expression

2008-05-18T23:09:00.002+01:00

Turquoise is such a lovely colour.

Summer

2008-05-14T21:28:00.003+01:00

Half finished, shitloads of stuff needs fixing; the background is better than I usually manage (lol) but bright lighting is so. damn. tricky.

GOOD TIMES

2008-05-12T10:40:00.004+01:00

I finished it, still don't like it though. It's a vignette from "To The Sea" by Philip Larkin (AS English Lit set text olol).

MADNESS?! THIS IS...

According to this I'm slightly crazy. :U As much as it sounds like me, it's obviously so much more down to personality; still, a bit of fun!

Mmmmmhmmmmmmmmmm.

Stuff

2008-05-09T18:57:00.001+01:00

Oh lawd, AS exams up in a couple of weeks. If only Photoshop didn't lag like a complete bitch everytime I try to use my tablet with it, because it would be nice to paint with that again. Meanwhile everything I doodle digital-wise is in oekaki. It's pretty cool because I finally managed to get the pressure to work with it.
