We must never, ever be boring.

This was just a quick break from my final major project, i think it messes with your head a bit when your so inside a project.
If you have read Invisible Monsters this will make perfect sense. If not go and read it, it this is probably one of the most influential things i have ever read. I did the same drawing from the same image last year, and i loved drawing it so much that i decided i would draw it again, i wonder if this one is any better?

I'm currently struggling with deciding between Loughborough and Leeds University, both of which i now have offers for.  I have weighed the pro's and con's and i'm still struggling. help!

we're all mad here.

Following my work with Dreams and Subconscious i have decided to create a series of surreal imagery, using discordant themes and subjects, to create scenarios that would appear in dreams.
I wanted the photos to involve me as my dream journal is so personal to me, i think i needed to have that connection with the scenes. I wanted to create an un-real composition placing everyday objects outside of their surroundings. I really tried hard to steer the piece away from an Alice in Wonderland theme, attempting to make it more threatening and less fairytale.

The majority of the photos, i blurred the backgrounds out of focus making them appear even more dreamlike, the contrast between the harsh focus and an undefinable forest background.

Parisian Skies

Can you tell i'm excited about our trip to Paris?

just two photoshop postcards which i quickly strung together using images i sourced off the internet, and then manipulated. i only have Photoshop Elements, so i can be a little bit limited sometimes- but i really like these.

the left contains Friendly Fires' lyrics and the right is Maximo Park. i don't think i could possibly romanticise this trip much more if i tried!
