the two images i just put up will be there, but there are so many talented people in my classes that you should come and check out! not just illustration but design, advertising and moving image too.

yep yep, that is all.

Does anyone have any words of advice on pushing artwork and concepts creatively?
Or know a good source for inspirational creative thinking?

These days I feel like I have no ideas..

I got a really shit mark at university and I have no idea why, I'm basically the bottom of the barrel in class and it's depressing..
I got the same mark as a girl who never even came into class one day the whole term. (i attended every day) I got told to basically go back home, and it's insulting when i gave up my life and moved it across the other side of the planet to get this degree..
maybe they just want me to work harder.. idk.



ps; caught patrick wolf at lovemusichateracism in victoria park, great!

so sick of being jessica singh

my hair's still falling out.

i feel i'm losing a grip on my style..
my art style and my fashion sense.
i think it may have something to do with fitting my whole wardrobe into a suitcase, and henceforth only taking stuff i thought was practical = nearly everything is black
i really am missing my overlocker, my sewing machine, and my fabric collection.
i guess it also has to do with a student budget
it seems ridiculous because they have the most amazing vintage stores here ever.
i was looking at a blog about perth street style (dropstitch.com.au)
and i was amazed..
i forgot how creative people are in perth
its such a lovely corner of the globe
every few photos i would recognize someone that i kinda knew, or admired
they would be dressed so well, better than alot of people ive seen here
it was even more amazing to see pictures of people i'd never seen, wearing jewellry and accessories made by me! which theyd bought from Libertine after i had moved to london.
it made me remember who i really am..i've got to get back into the swing of making lovely things, my own style.

there are lots of cookie cutter celebrity type styles here, but at the same time there is access to so much lovely clothing, and there are so many amazing well put together people
whenever i walk into st martins, i feel intimidated
everyone looks like they stepped off a catwalk
but not in the way they are waifs, simply that everyone seems to be ridiculously sylish

i think i'm going to purge my wardrobe, the clothes ive bought over are way too boring.
in terms of artwork, im getting so far away from my style is ridiculous, i knew i wanted to explore other things, but i've gotten so far from my style that i can't even remember if i can draw the same.

our next project is to make a book about ourself and i feel like it's not fair because i don't have access to myself.. because ive left so much of myself in perth

im just really confused about where i am
i feel like a husk
i feel like an hourglass
except the sand is just blowing away
i want to remember who i am
and bring it to london
full force

(there's so much opportunity in london, it's like a world stage, and i need to make use of it)

something horrible happened to me last night so excuse the lack of punctuation.
