snap!

these are the starts of the photos i will use for my illustrations (see below...)
it's the first time i've ever stopped people (even if i do know half of them..) to ask to take their photo, so they were speaking in half of them and therefore are not the most flattering of pictures...

doodle for your A level...

so, a while a go i said i'd post some of my illustration stuff.
so i will. it's not fantastic, but i'm getting to develop my own style, which is a start...
tell me what you think !

these are pictures copied from hel-looks.com..for once i didn't trace them, so i'm reasonably proud of how they turned out...













they're all a bit rough around the edges, but it's the first time i've worked like this so i'm reasonably proud of the outcomes (:
i've now done some experiments on fabric, and am taking my own photographs to work from...
THREE WEEKS UNTIL THE DEADLINE...ARGH !

what do you think?

help! and hand

so, i still can't decide whether to keep this skirt:


i got it in the h&m sale for £10. i really like it, but have no idea what to wear it with, or whether it looks too tight (it's a size too small)

so...pretty please, any ideas/advice/criticism...


and this is what i wore today...

my boyfriend's hand. all day
isn't it a lovely hand?
oh, and i wore some clothes. a lacy blue top which used to be a SUPER LONG NIGHTY and several scarves and my comfy cardi
yayaya

SUNNY SUNNY COLLEGE DAY!


Yes, that is where we hang out.
and get chucked out of, because we are "in the way"
as you can see, this space is very regularly used, and cleaned.

URGH. will restrain for rant...

butterflies in my head...

OH WOW
someone please explain to me how Alexander McQueen can be so AMAZINGGGG








this just looks (to me) like a combination of Balenciaga's jodhpurs and crazy structured dresses...












real feathers?!

poor boys ):

the subject of boys clothing often crops up in conversation.
at the moment, it usually consists of "WHY ARE THERE NO WATERPROOF SHOES FOR BOYS?!" as my poor boyfriend has to walk stupid miles home down a stream, laughingly called a country track.

the variety of boys clothing is, in my opinion, rather crap:
jeans, t shirt, hoody, skate shoes
skinnies, slogan tshirt, converse
skinnies, shirt, pointy shoes, tie

hmm

yes, you do get amazingly dressed boys, but...i'm SO glad i'm a girl....

*fuco ueda

*fuco ueda

so, i don't know who they are or...if fuco ueda is their real name, all i know is that they're from japan, they're 28 and they create the most beautiful illustrations.













i just think they're exquisite. the detail and beautiful colours just...make me so envious!
perhaps it's the little-girl-turned-not-so-innocent feel to them, combined with the beautifully drawn octopuses, seahorses and nautical schoolish uniforms.

anyway, i'm in love.

they're all pretty small...mostly about 25x35cm
most seem to be acrylic paint on cloth or wood.
