Went to this today. It was pretty cool. Really quiet and very clean. the small gallery that is, i know thats the point but it makes me feel like i shouldn't be in there. Anyway the art was cool. Kind of reminded me of shaun tan because the sculptures were quite like little creatures not threatening in any way but mysterious and strange.

This was my favourite.

rad gallery. this is more for me than you guys. i'm compiling a list of galleries i want to go to.

i forgot to add this one. Challenge 6 i believe. dog, umbrella, duvet. And try something completely new.

So this is basically i think the best work i have ever done and i just wanted to take a photo of it because i'm giving it away and it should be on here. My ultimate aim is to get back to the point i was at when i made this. I spent the most time painting this hah maybe theres a correlation there, even though i didn't like it at first. Anyway theres a shitty photo of my best work.

I really like this artist. She does some pretty kinky stuff you should look up if you're interesting.

Man I love art books. Its just like a big healthy hit of arty goodness. Anyway I was at Left Hand Path watching my sister get tattooed. And they being artists have a heap of art books so i started looking through one and have written down all the artists i liked in it on the back of my hand. So oooh i'll probably just spam soon. Also Andy (the tattooist) said i should come along to one of his painting/drawing workshops, which is quite exciting because he does really cool stuff. Yea sorry for words. I'll get back to pictures.

I had a calender of Erte years ago and i've just got round to cutting the pictures out so i can use them for something they're just the most beautiful things. I couldn't find my favourite to post though :(. Art deco in general is just so appealing!

challenge 4. i didn't like the first one i did (which is the one with totoro) because it felt superficial and really fan arty. So i did a second one which was more about the meaning of what hayao miyazaki makes. Oh yea that was the artist and the objects were forest and note. So i went with environmentalism. the second one is better in my opinion but i still have issues with it.

Hieronymus Bosch. He just has such a good name. Not my favourite of renaissance painters but the detail is just so cool. there is so much in one painting and the biblical scenes are weird but magical.
