Some findings so far

 A woman, who works as prostitute, with her lips sewn together attends a protest in El Alto in the outskirts of La Paz, June 15, 2011.
Catholic nuns release dove-shaped balloons during a mass for peace and reunification of the Korean peninsula at Imjingak Peace Park in Paju, near the demilitarised zone separating North Korea from South Korea, June 17, 2011

These are just a few random photographs I found online from TotallyCoolPix.com Instead of them floating about on my laptop its probably a whole load safer if I keep a copy here.

I find the first one rather inspirational for its content. But also the human ability to sew your lips. Its something so squeemish to me but I know many people have done it, Will do it and have sewen other bodyparts and limbs together. I really want to find out why they were protesting.

The second image seems rather surreal but beautiful at the same time. Rather like the idea of these dove shaped balloons and what they could symbolise and the wierd material v.s imagery. Plastic pretend doves type thing :p

Summer Holidays

Well Summer Holidays are underway Ive recieved my letters from Saas confirming my funding and my transcripts from college saying Ive officially passed everything.

But oh my lord I am so unbelievably bored out my box. With the weather being miserable and Im starting a new job all Ive done is work, walk my dog, watch stupid amount of movies and sleep till daft a.m.
Even my inspiration and drive to draw is dying what I really need is a daily sorta draw challenge. Till I find a reasonable one this is what Ive been up to so far...






With regards to the wierd monkey drawing above and the owl drawing. They were requests from friends because I was bored daft. They're really just doodles and Im not happy with the way they turned out. But you learn through making sketches and daft doodles like that.

Ive often considered making drawings of all my friends on facebook, though Id be scared of offending them with a crappy piece. But hey ho here I go till college starts ill doodle nonsense and just spend my days studying and finding pictures and movies and such to save and collect as inspiration. Im also beginning to think about next years research essay work and even a subject area to look into for my work. Loads of random little ideas floating about silly :p
