Oh Hai complete and utter boredom i was wondering when you would show up

these are some of my favorite photos that a friend, kate did. i envy her work so much. she wants to be a photographer and i want her to make it so bad, its ridiculous. oh yeah im pretty sure she's won a bunch of photography awards.




this dress, which is pretty epic, was made by eric, a good mate of mine.





i probably should have just given you a few photos and linkage. but i couldnt help myself. http://loserology.deviantart.com/

im getting a bit post happy. you wait, in another half and hour ill find something to post that will be a complete waste of your time.
i can feel the radio waves coming from my laptop and its making me feel sick. that's not a good sign is it?
i dont generally hate anything. except for the word hate and now, my laptop. which thinks that i really enjoy it going slow and not loading web pages and uploading photos.
feeling kinda hypo right now. oh and yay for not going to be able to sleep tonight (now that i've said that, ill be able to sleep)
currently listening to: sway sway baby - short stack
yeah i listen to them quite a bit.
so if your tired of me mentioning them, then how bout

ok so i finally finished the christmas present i was doing for my friend. as soon as i was done i took it to her cause i was so excited. its the first painting that's turned out exactly how i wanted it to.

but i only came up with this after i had stuffed up the original idea. which is a completely different world compared to this.


this is just some random paint i did. im going to call the little guy mumbo jumbo, cause that's what it felt like when i was painting him.


so im really excited about this family trip that's going to happen just after christmas. a 7 hour trip north from perth will take me to a place where the humidity is high and the wind is scarce. im going to need a bucket load of sunscreen. also im hoping to take some underwater pictures of the reef and fish.

quote of the day:"we can be a one man band. i can be the man, you can be the band"

currently listening to: shimmy a go go - short stack
time for the next round of photos. i would have posted these earlier but......uhh ok i dont know why i didnt and saying i forgot doesnt sound believable.









( i should probably say that i did the editing on picnik.com)

December 20, 2008

i have photo's that i really wanted to share. most of these are edited, some aren't. im not going to put them all up at once, cause where would the fun be in that?

these are some of the older ones

the most slightly amusing thing happened today. while painting i noticed that the black paint on my palette looked like an alien. i got pretty excited and had to draw it.



you be the judge.

December 13, 2008

you know its a good day when the sun is shinning, there's not a cloud in the sky and the heat is blistering. its also when you can lie in the pool with your eyes closed and it feels like your in the Bahamas.



i finally have a picture of a summer sunset. although i think it would be better if i could take one while im at the beach


i really want to make my own clothes. the only problem is i would probably end up sewing my hand cause i wont have any idea of what im doing. maybe ill take sewing classes or maybe i wont and just experiment. but first i have to actually get the materials and a sewing machine so itll be a while before that anything happens.

does anyone know if the Lula magazine is sold anywhere in Perth?

im working on my best friend's christmas present right now so i havent been doing much..wait no, thats a lie. i went to a christmas pageant with her ( i swear people dressed in mascot costumes for the sponsoring companies are just asking to be crash tackled to the ground), and then later we went to the beach and made sand animals.


we named the turtle roofus


i dont think we named the whale anything. but im pretty sure we silently agreed on pkew.

after we had finished, these Asian tourests told us our animals were "very good". as we thanked them and walked away, i could have sworn they started taking photos. which is kind of amusing cause they werent really that great.

anyways, here's a drawing that i did yesterday.



current obsession: 6 months - hey monday.
i feel sorry for my ears, cause they have to put with this song being blasted from my ipod 24/7

how crazy are these boots. the 0nly reason why i wouldnt wear is becuase id be too short for them.

Russh november fashion shoot
anna & boy swim suit
ksubi paint bomb jeans
(i know dont know who the boots are by)

i still dont have a name for the bear. i thought id give some background info to make it easier.
hes an outsider, he gets judged because hes different. all hes after is a friend. kind of like the gentle giant, only hes a bear not a giant.

hell yeess. 78 records. i love you.
i love the old school records. i was sick of all my dads ones, so i went and bought my own.

i dont really feel safe on buses. the only time i do is when im in a window seat looking out the window avoiding eye contact with every one around me with my ipod on, breaking that intense silence that you feel when your on there. but you know what also breaks that intense silence? people talking loudly on their phone. we know how annoying that is (unless your the one doing it). so your sitting there, brooding because you want this person to shut up, until you realise that they're talking in a different language. so now your suddenly intrigued. you pick up a few things in the conversation that gives you an idea on what theyre talking about, but then again you could be wrong, you dont know cause the only language you understand is English. at the same time you look at the creepy man you saw earlier as you got on and you realise, he has really cool shoes. on closer inspection you see that he looks like a gym junkie. ok so hes not so creepy after all. you then start looking at the back of the head of the weirdly dressed chick who go on a few stops back, she looks a bit like a hippie. you notice that she stares intensely out the window as you go past the public pool and a little while later, she starts braiding her fringe. you decide that even though shes weird, you want to talk to her cause she seems different and interesting. you smile a bit at the thought and think to yourself, ok this trip turned out to be alright.
on the trip home you have a new driver, and as you huddle in the back corner, avoiding eye contact with everyone, you start to realise that the driving skills of this guy is a bit below average. hmm should make for an interesting ride.

what does Yael Naim and Lisa Mitchell have in common? well, im not sure. what i do know is that they both have wikid feel happy video clips that make the world seem a happy place free from problems.
i love the fact that these are simple and look like they've been done in the middle of know where, and they just make me smile.

New Soul - Yael Naim


Neopolitan Dreams - Lisa Mitchell


Incomplete Lullaby - lisa. this song gave me goosebumps

here's the painting that i didnt put up the other day cause i couldnt be bothered finishing it. overall im pretty happy with it.


but he needs a name. any ideas?

i think i might take a break from painting, cause i have a whole heap to do for some friends. so i think before i get started on that ill do some drawing. i havent done that in a while. so itll be nice to get into it again.

peeling dried paint off palettes is fun. and strangely therapeutic

December 02, 2008

i was going to post a painting. but i havent finished it yet. mainly cause i cant be bothered getting my paints. even though its a 2 foot stretch ( i know, lazy right?). so instead you get stuck with this:


taken from my backyard(no editing done, except for the sunset setting on my camera). it kind of reminds me of the lion king, when the monkey is holding up simba for all to see.

the work of Don Seegmiller is awesome. his art work is composed of digital paintings which are amazing. http://www.seegmillerart.com/


im resisting the urge to send this to a friend who is scared or clowns.

im hoping to be able to do stuff at this level at some point in time. but right now all im capable of is this






during the time of writing this, i was interrupted by the current events of two planets
Venus and Jupiter are aligned. (not sure which is which). but this amazes me, it's these kinds of things that make me want to buy a really expensive and powerful telescope so i can get a closer look. (sorry bout the crappy picture. it was the best i could do)

i really like the moon in this. it turned out better than i expected. thanks to a friend who told me how to do it
im not sure if im really happy with this one
i keep finding scratches on my leg and i dont even know how they got there (*glares* im looking at you, green box on my floor with sharp edges thats taking care of my art supplies)
