Yawn and mad Love...

Today has been much better than yesterday was...as I was extremely angry...i'm a very grumpy lady at times you see. Due to "the evil one" in my family mostly...or just because of the silly little things that bug me.

Today has been better because last night I got to hang out with one of my best friends and her boyfriend and my boyfriend and watch a bunch of films and pig out. We then came home to be greeted by our puppies and then I got to freak out while the door creaked in the wind (as we had just watched Paranormal Activities and I was convincing myself there was a demon outside my door)...anyways...TODAY!...I got up and took my daily 11am photograph for my project. I then got mine and James' breakfast and spent time with the pups. I walked Bruce and we bought the pups a giant bed so they can all snuggle up together. We then pigged out a bit and I did a bit of photography using my manual camera. I bought a Lomo Diana camera...which is my tutor's fault as he mentioned the Lomo Diana on facebook and I thought, "Ooh what's one of those?"...and I fell in love instantly with the turquoie and black plastic camera. I can't wait for it to come.

I have also been exceedingly busy recently. The other illustration students were'nt kidding when they said that second year would be harder.
WORK TO BE DONE:...Publishing/Food Writing elective...I have to interview people and collect recipes and history on them for a book my group are making on Lancashire food. Illustration: Re-do 2 projects and try and make a good A1 poster for the library on the subject TIME...
I keep doubting my illustrative abilities due to everyone in my class being so talented!...I am also making some books to sell on a stall at my university and I am writing a 2000 essay...
PERSONAL PROJECTS:...Still putting together a box for my friend and talented artist Brandi Milne and I am going to draw a picture for each member of Alice In Chains, one for Florence from Florence and the Machine and a picture for Jimmy Carr...just incase I meet them after seeing them.
It is soooo COLD here! It's horrible...it makes me want to stay in bed as it's awful getting out of my warm bed in the mornings! God bless layers!...
Hopefully I will be getting a new printer tomorrow...which should help with my work...research and printing on things that the local printers wont dare to print on...I am magical ;)...
Anyways...it is about 3am so I should go say goosnight to my dogs then look foward to getting lots of work done tomorrow...
I can't wait to go to Manchester on Wedmesday aswell...going to the museum and going to draw stuffed animals...mummy's and insects and do a bit of christmas shopping. So much to do...argh!...

Me and rambles...


Since this blog doesn't like me trying to upload photos I have decided to just show a picture of me so i'm not just a shadow in a grey box.
Today I have been drawing again! Huzzah!...I drew a fennec fox and I made a milk carton from an envelope...was rather pleased with myself...like the time I made a fish out of a tomato.
Here in the Uk it is 2am...i'm watching Invader Zim because I can't be bothered going to bed yet. I really want to eat pizza and cakes...but I shall wait till my birthday...mmm pistachios!...I WANT ZEM!...
I stroked a pug today! For the first time ever! Very cute indeed! Though I would never trade my baby for a pug...I love my Bruce too much!!!
I have been looking at a lot of art work today! I love finding new artists...todays discoveries include: Kate Wilson, Diem Chau, Andrew Hem, Know Hope and Ashley G...
At some point I will be putting up a few posts of my work...Brace yar'selves!

Evil weather...

For some reason the weather has decided it hates me...but I have been drawing a lot lately so that's making things better as drawings distracts me from my surroundings...

I think I will add some pics of ym work on here sometime soon...for anyone who does read this: This is the first time I have blogged so if the layout is crummy and it seems boring: that is not what i'm really like! This place will be covered in beauty as soon as i work it out.

I'm tempted to watch Pinocchio again...we shall see:)
