All I can manage is little doodles in little books made of little squiggles of little people on the train...
My summer project for my degree is on fairy tales. I chose Snow White and have to create musings and doodles and workbooks on it, and make 3 final images to illustrate the story. I really am enjoying the research side (all I can muster is hours spent surfing the internet, reading intersting sites) but as of yet have not put pen to paper.
I am finding the subject matter interesting and inspiring; but am not actually inspired to do any drawings. I can't visualise how it all looks and I can't see how I want it to look. Oh dear oh dear oh dear

there's a lot of those really embarassing images that i did when i was like, 17, but worked really hard on them at the time. looking back on them, i think they're pretty dire, but at the time it was good, if you know what i mean? well, i'm struggling between deleting stuff/scrapping stuff/keeping.
considering the state of my bedroom (millions of books, everything is full of clothes, etc) i'm a total hoarder so its proving slow and difficult to tidy my gallery.

anywayz, only other news= finished uni (must photograph/scan my last few projects, too)
okey dokey.

our new project has to be inspired by multicultural, NON linear perspective forms of art. i have loads of ace ideas and such (prints, repulsive lineart, etc) but am struggling to feel inspired by any particular artforms.... also things that tie in with what i have in mind. its like being at GCSE again, being told to research something and recreate it. sigh.

I keep meaning to do a day of papermaking with some uni friends, at least.

Our lectures are leading up to an essay and a powerpoint. The essay is 1500 words on, "Using the methods of semiotic analysis, critically compare two works produced by different artists since 1980. The works must deal with at least one of these themes: 1. Gender 2. the Body 3. Race 4. Power 5. Sexuality." I'm doing a David Salle image and a Cindy Sherman one. Quite easy... just need to get around to it in the next 2 weeks.

the powerpoint I'm putting off to the last minute, it seems so boring

"Select one artist, briefly survey his/her body of work and explain how it illustrates specific concepts or themes connected with this artist." Meh, I can't even decide on an artist. It's just one of those really boring tasks which seems so meaningless.

Eep, it's 1:20?! I'd better sleep.

I hate the sound of strangers footsteps and keys jangling and far off pots clattering. I want familiar sounds of the central heating switching on at 7am

this great bird from the US. She does these wicked line drawings and scrawly stuff on cardboard. With great faded pencil marks and watercolour stuff.

recent friend from uni, who lives down the corridor from me. She does wicked (and very unusual) digital/manga stuff! It's ace. (she's ace)

more pretty emotion-y drawings and portraits.

he doenst post much.... but he does these wicked *slightly* fantasy/scifi-based digital drawings. so clean and professional. yum.

uni friend! aw man, her self portrait photos are wicked. i want to see mooooaaarrr!

recent person.... I just like their photos, they're very texturey and moody.

dan's old account! with loads of wicked stuff. i like this big account. It's nice to see his old photos, even if they're just ones from his A-level. I'll talk about his photos more in a bit.

Neil! from GDUK. Neil always manages to get some humour in his art. He's a very funny guy, and always has a project running, and does great design/typography stuff. He also takes nice photos, which is a great contrast.

Yeah! this is Daniel's wickedphotos account. Dan takes lovely, soft, sensitive pictures. Most of them are of people and places I don't know, but they still have this lovely homely, approachable and recognisable feel about them. When he takes photos you can see in the photo that he loves it- the subject and the act of taking photos. It makes me really happy to see them

fuck! anotherphotofriend. of course, very different though! Clemmy's photos are so incredibly precise and mature. But, again, he's a very sensitive photographer; his photos evoke so much emotion.

ah wicked photoshoppy drawings! she does very unusual ones. I guess they're kinda impressionist-y? But not in an obvious/crude way. Just real nice.

this guy is wicked! I'm guessing he's a professional illustrator, he's like 50. But still fucking wicked! He does these great woodblock stuff and all that. I like that he uses sort of... twee images in a classy way.

chris! he says he likes "taking photos of things I find in the world". chris goes travelling a lot and... ]]> ~BabysInBlack Sick http://BabysInBlack.deviantart.com/journal/14780735/ http://BabysInBlack.deviantart.com/journal/14780735/ Tue, 25 Sep 2007 01:01:25 PDT

Everything is so lovely here and every person I've met has been so wonderful, too

I wanna go home

]]> ~BabysInBlack Update.. http://BabysInBlack.deviantart.com/journal/14529242/ http://BabysInBlack.deviantart.com/journal/14529242/ Fri, 07 Sep 2007 11:23:49 PDT
Everything is all sorted and stuff and I'm moving in on Sunday the 23rd. We actually start lectures/classes etc on Monday 24th, which is a shame because moving in+starting term+fresher's week is going to be pretty manic I guess. Anyway, I do feel prepared, and my heart feels ready, but I do have that lump in my throat making me stop suddenly and say "what-happens-if-this-isn't-right-and-I'm-so-scared". But that's to be expected.

What is also to be expected is the letter I got in the post yesterday. My heart sank when I saw what it was- an introductory task for students to do, in preparation for the degree.
Task 1: bring 5 items to talk about which influence you.
Task 2: Pick 1 item which represents your home town.
Urrrgh. It's that horrible forced-talking-point stuff which I hate. So I'm going to have to have a good think about that. *rolls eyes*.

Anyway this is quite boring news.
I re-watched American Beauty and Amelie recently. I haven't really written about films and stuff before, but for the last few years I've absolutely fallen in love with cinema and have become much more passionate about films. I think I find them much more inspirational and touching than.. "art"? I mean like, fine art and such- paintings&drawings. It's odd because I love drawing and making stuff but have no interest in the process of filmMAKING whatsoever. Anyway, I think this train of thought is going nowhere; I'll stop.

The only other excitement really is I think my anxious-ness is getting really bad and it's starting to scare me just a little bit. Then again I don't like the prospect of going to the doctor and either a) them dismissing it, or b) them completely exaggerating it........... if that makes sense?
Again; getting anxious makes me get more anxious and thinking about that makes me even more anxious....... etc etc etc.

Anyway, I was going to write some more shizzo in detail about my dA friends, but I've gotten a bit lazy. Next time!

and I celebrated our 1-year-anniversary by doing pretty much what we did one year ago- hanging out in the sun in London, looking at interesting things and enjoying each others company.

We saw the stars at the Greenwich planitarium on Saturday (which I highly recommend

) and spent time with some wonderful people on Saturday night... On Sunday we went to London and went to the Antony Gormley exhibition at the Hayward gallery... if anyone has a chance to go, I 100% recommend it, it's a wonderful summary of a lot of his work, the highlights for me probably being his more famous pieces.... Event Horizons (fiberglass/cast iron figures of Gormley placed around the Southbank) and what was definately the main attraction, Blind Light. here's an image to give you an idea of what it was like.... [link] it's like, this massive glass box in the gallery that's filled with Cloud ^_^ and to experience it you can walk inside. The level of disorientation is incredible- yet standing still in this muffled blanket of cloud is exhilarating and so peaceful; the mist seems to extend for eternity around you. Gormley is ultimately inviting us to experience our own sense of body space, and (in his own words) become "literally the subject of the work". I love artwork which turns your own experience into the "work of art" and I found the exhibition fascinating.

So yes, it was a great addition to a lovely weekend... Sorry I've rambled on about it quite a lot...

Hopefully this summer should bring many more wonderful experiences.. and "bon anniversaire" (lol) to Daniel.... I love you

KL xxxx
