July 3rd - made paper cranes

July 4th: I wish I was tHEREe

They get progressively worse/more rushed after this, heh. I'll continue to upload the better ones, but I might not be so faithfully chronological!

Visual diary #2

July 2nd.
Break-up. :/ He made a very pretty portrait, if not an entirely compatible boyfriend..!

To see it before I burnt it (who knew that tracing paper bubbles when hot?!), click 'read more' below!

ETA: I just realised that the fact it's on tracing paper implies I traced this, which is not the case, it's all eyeballed.. I like the transparency of it, and the layering affect you can achieve. 

 also tracing it would be really creepy.. somehow more creepy than just drawing my ex, which is creepy enough anyway... >_>

Couple of hairy sketches

Visual diary #1

One of my projects at university involved keeping a visual diary; this was my first page. Even though it's fairly old I still quite like it :)

July 1st: welcome to my life

Anti-fur project

In which me & Lyall cooked up a curious concoction of poster paint, 'vampire blood' and coffee that maybe perhaps slightly resembled blood and dribbled it all over me & various cheapo vintage [possibly-hopefully faux] fur items while various passersby looked in through our woefully curtain-less windows and wondered what kind of weird fetish video we were making.

We ended up with three images to submit to the annual Design Against Fur campaign/competition from the Fur Free Alliance.

Having researched into the various methods of anti-fur campaigning, I realise how incredibly easy it is to appear judgemental and 'preachy', so I will refrain from going on about how worthy the cause is and suggest you poke around those there websites.


Lyall took the photos, I am the 'model' and I edited the photos too. We went with slightly blue-toned versions in the end:

But I quite liked the arguably even MORE disturbing desaturated versions...

Muh postcards

LOOOOK! It's a HITLER STAMP!!!

This is worth all of 99p on eBay.
