the thing about 3d spatial is that its silly....

i thought i missed drawing from life but it turns out i just miss drawing figuratively.... yup thats right folks theres a difference.

hey at least i got to see sarah jessica parker from the studio window! ask mingky she has  photos.

Viscom completed: advance to level 2

so this concludes the first 'creative pathway' and i have to say that I'm allot more pleased with it this time around.

this week we had to communicate something that cant be done with words and immediately my inner schoolgirl jumped at the whole 'i cant tell him that i love him, so i'll send him a letter thing' but then almost as an afterthought Wendy said; NO LOVE STORIES!!! :( its too boring and predictable or something

so trying to connect the project back to the original idea i decided to go for I'm not in love with you, i'm obsessed with you and its creepy and you should be scared. and i started my book along these lines... but really after my first week spent in the abyss i wanted to do something more cheerful, so i made a very cartoony brainstorm of all the worst and clichéd ideas i could, just trying to choose one and do it in a really creative and unpredictable way...

i decided on; 'I'm a fish and i want to get out of my bowl'

i started by thin king of the ways that the average fish would actually be able to communicate at all with its owner, i thought of Morse code bubbles, writing on a dirty tank but then eventually realised that the fish itself wouldn't realistically be able to do any of these things. what a fish can do however is imagine...

as sappy as that sounds...

anyway so the work i settled on was an illustration of a fish imagining itself outside of its bowl... so i drew it in my sketchbook and added some colour and thought; its finished! damn what am i gonna do for the rest of the week!

anyway so i just started making all of the animals that the fish imagines himself as, out of paper. i actually hadn't done anything like that before and everyone thought i was really good at it so i just ran with it and got some really positive crit for it on Friday

ART BLOCK: UNBLOCKED!!

cant wait for 3d spacial (once i get better :(  )

a little bit thin on the ground

not enough work this week i really need to get stuck in and stop complaining about the fact that i got the abyss as my word in the first exercise. its a shame. but i shouldnt complain i came here for challenges and that what i get.... being here has just made me a less creative person... lets hope its temporary
