Since last time, I've been to New Mexico, fallen off a horse, shared a sleeping bag with an excitable Bull Terrier, seen the Grand Canyon, flown back home to England, decided to save-up for a new computer, settled in to living without a tv and found its nice, taken photos of Jenny and Chris, worked and seen a man with a t-shirt that said 'I am the Walrus' just before we flew out to Minneapolis and thought how cool, English dudes rule.

And now? A couple of friends and me start College this Wednesday.. looking forward to it, is a given.
I'm looking forward to the routine, the advice, people, early mornings, late evenings, occasionally cycling in with overly packed bags and THE WORK SPACE, YES!

I can't wait to get my jeans dirty!

Exams are done, not that I had many (yay) and my A levels are finished.

Past Two years: Mm, I suppose I'll say the compulsory things, ahem, "I've grown" and "I enjoyed it so much!".

It has been good and I do think I've grown, but Sixth Form did feel like an extension of High School. Just without the uniform and more pissing about, haha. And the growing has been 'Dodgey', but overall thats a good thing since feeling awkward means your experiencing new things and nearer to feeling comfortable and excited.
Ideas have got more interesting for art. 'Corse I feel like a slob at the moment so they wont be happening till I actually sort it. This summer will be good for that. Especially going over to New Mexico with the new camera. These ideas should excite me ready for the thrill of College.
A couple of us got accepted to do the foundation year at the local college. Its just a year, to get us ready for applying for Uni's. I've been looking at alot of the London Art Scene but I'm still pretty open for suggestions.
Being 18 now, I feel like I'm finally slipping into a character from one of those young University novels and myself. I mean, I'm still getting used to being 'Of Age' and I didn't think it'd be such a big thing, but that border of being a kid and adult is suddenly past. I reckon its only a personal thing people realize, "I'm not a Child anymore". Its sort of been helpful too, confidence wise in all honesty. And College will be great for that. A couple of my friends are going but we'll all be taking different classes, and thats exciting. New EVERYTHING

I've adjusted to confidence, really. And OKAY, I'm giving you a reminiscent blog. Oh WELL XD

Fatal hilarity: [link]

Walking back from Charly's house this evening I saw a lady holding a fat cat and laughed. I had to supress it as I walked pass, haha

I love surge laughter it fills you with good

Today was so comfortable. Humidity, weather, the rain, my clothes, company, food. Everything was good. Especially these male shorts, its been tights with everything lately. Seriously, I've never worn so many skirts in MY LIFE, srsly. The change is nice. I vote for male shorts, clothes are clothes in my opinion and people are far more comfortable with themselves if their wearing something comfy, yet still retaining some air of making the person feel they look half decent.
But it didn't stop me looking around before I crossed over into the male section of Peacocks..

Last night Chris came over and we started making a paper mache mask! We'd been looking at ones all the night before and figured Zelda was cool enough. We'd of totally made two, the other being Princess Mononoke's from the film, but going into town was unfruitful. Sure I got great shorts but the only shop selling plain masks was The Joke Shop and it was shut. Ironically enough the front of the shop is a window and they were hanging just behind it, fail.

Luckily, some chap from a party back at Halloween left one hanging from the garage. It was a bit of a shock in the eerily dark hours of morning.. and I didn't take it down for a couple days since every time I remembered it was dark outside HAHA, but yeah, I kept it!

We shredded a whole newspaper and used a whole put of PVA(+water) and after two coats it was obv we had too much.. SO I shoved the rest of the paper in a bag and wrapped up the PVA(+water) and bringing it to his Wednesday >D
The coats of the mask are turning out pretty decent, probably another 3 days and we'll be painting. Leaving time for, you know, snuggling and that. He should be popping round tomorrow like he did today (he left his keys on the newpaper covering my floor haha), either before going to work or before going to Kevmech. I don't know how he'll manage it, thats a small window. A flash visit will be nice though :B

I really hope it doesn't transit from SNOW to super hot, forgetting all this lovely April showers stuff I got sprinkled with today. I really like it

ALSO hey, Ironman is out Friday. Thats something else I like, comic book films *girly yay*

Enjoy yourselves and everyone else!
Avoiding every impending coursework has to be done, night!

P.S. I want to get into small zines and I think I want to read I.N.V.U... hmm.

Magazines are so expensive these days. 5.99 to pick up Fantasy & Sci-Fi Digital Art ImagineFX, I'd understand if they charged you for how long a title was but its still lots of money, woe.
On the good hand of expensive, it has an interview in here all about what you need for an excellent portfolio!
Its all about having your best work at the beginning and your second favourite as a last page, ending on a high. And if your aren't happy with a couple paintings, do a couple better to replace them.

"Art directors don't want to take a chance on new talent, they want to feel excited"



ENJOY SUNDAY : D

Well, I think that art exam went rather okay. Didn't know what the hell I was going to do with half of it on the last day but with some speed painting I finished - hooray!
