I really need the money that I could receive from getting it printed so that I can make it to Spain for World Youth Day this year.

Thank you everyone! And don't forget to spread the word!

WYD Poster

So my friend has asked me to design a WYD poster for uni. I was excited all YAY! Something to add to my portfolio!! BUT I am having an epic mind blank. Here is what I had so far.. But nothing that Im really liking unfortunately..

RED APE

So half way through my work experience week at Red Ape. Been doing a little design work for them but its thier down time so half the time the designers/illustrators just sit around LOOKING for work to do.

Anyway I am having a GREAT time. Ive been designing packaging, skateboards, doing some illustration and had a go and storyboard layouts. Also lots of image sourcing...

But here are some of the skateboard stuff I did today. The company want to design some cool skateboards for some reason..? Either for sale or just for some art to hang round the place but apparently the creative director has connections with people who can print for us..?

        

. I designed all the patterns and added one of the illustrators design. Top one is all mine. :)  

Note that the illustrations on the bottom two arent mine. Copyright Jeremy Bondoc. 

 I would have more stuff but Illustrator CS5 files don't open to well on CS4.

Well hopefully I can get a copy of all my work by the end of the week to add to my portfolio!

Lucky

I found some four-leaf clovers whilst putting up the washing this morning. Okay let me rephrase, I saw clovers growing in the garden and spent a good 10 minutes squatting on the ground looking for four -leaf clovers, while the washing I was meant to be putting up was drying in the basket.

I found a total of five and because I'm strange I decided to scan and upload them in the hopes to share my lucky find. But of course I had to go into Photoshop and play around with it a bit. And after collective (I was going on  and off the computer for study and food) time of maybe 45 minutes (give or take about 10) I came up with this!

 

Well I do wish the rest of you who still have exams the best of luck for the HSC and for everyone for no reason at all, may you be lucky!

favicon

Well I came across a tutorial for adding a favicon to my blog. A favicon being the little icon which appears next to the html of a site (bad explanation) but the little orange blogger icon that's next to the browser, that's a favicon. I have been having some troubles with getting mine up and working. But I think I have it now.

What do you people think?! I couldn't really think of what to make the icon so I just put "*j", which is just how I sign my posts. I might change it but to what? Give me suggestions if you think I should change it. Or just give me suggestions. If you want to try and get one for yourself the tutorial is here.

That's all,

<- my favicon

I begin again...

I felt compelled to write a blog entry earlier but had nothing to say. So I gave up. And here I am once again trying to get something posted, still with not much in mind to write about. I must say though I have an urge to draw now. Just when I should start studying I found something which I can do NOT on the computer.

It all started two days ago in that epic storm. The sky was overcast, lightening lit up the sky and the following thunder shook my soul (haha! I'm so lame and corny it makes me laugh). Well as the thunder and lightening raged, I was forced off the computer by my father. Good thing too, a few minutes later the power went so the gloominess of outside was reflected indoors as well. As a response to my current dilemma I opted to take advantage of the lack of electricity as an excuse not to study!

Instead I sat in bed, leant against the window and just watched nature do it's thing. I love watching storms. All warm and cosy in my bed, the window slightly open to let in the cool refreshing air. I love the smell of rain. Once all the lightening had subsided, the sound of the raindrops was very soothing. I found all my old sketchbooks and started having a flick through.

At first I was just looking for things that I drew often and might try to make a stuffed toy out of to add to my "things to make" list for post-HSC-crafting. Maybe find some other things that i can reproduce and sell, it would be fun to set up a shop on etsy or something or sell stuff straight from my blog. I should start a craft blog and I'm getting sidetracked.

Well continuing on, I realised that it has indeed been quite a while since I last drew anything. The last dated page in my new sketchbook was 12th of August. So I thought that I would try and draw some stuff. Random things, some of my little characters which I draw everywhere, like my jellyfish and some other things.

Since then whenever I'm about to hit the books I want to go find my sketchbook instead. Only thing is that when I actually get my sketchbook I have blank as to what to draw. Convenience.

Well taking inspiration from a blog post in The Design Files, I decided to draw what I wore today, since I ACTUALLY changed out of my pajamas. So here it is. I scanned and quickly and crappily coloured in photoshop. Hope you (whoever is reading, IF anyone is reading) like it!
That's all folks! *loony tunes style*
