A little more couldn't hurt...

I know I rambled on about Alice in Wonderland last week, but I just can't get enough. So I apologise to those people out there that dislike the Lewis Caroll masterpiece... Such as my boyfriend. He hates Alice in Wonderland. He also hates strange remixes that are on the interesting side of things. So if you're of the same animatory and musical preferences as he is, you might want to skip the play button on this one, and go iron your shirts for work tomorrow.

Okay, maybe that was a little harsh. But don't say I didn't warn you.



It's pretty amazing, considering it's composed entirely from the soundtrack of Disney's Alice in Wonderland. Just like the video is made from clips of the movie, too. It's not just a strange, drug inspired trance track like the rest of the genre. It actually has substance*!

As for my holidays, I have been very happy sleeping 12 hours at a time, working minimal amounts and slowly transforming my room from a miniature rubbish tip into the coziest, cleanest cardboard box a hobo could ever dream of! My room is really very tiny, and the addition of a desk has left me with about 1.5 square meters of floor space. Floor space is for losers. But it does mean that I can't dance embarrassingly badly to loud music without injuring myself anymore :(

Actually, that's probably a good thing. I'll have to ask Nick which is the lesser of his dislikes... Me dancing to music that is ninety shades darker than I am, or listening to trancey stuff mixed from Alice in Wonderland?


I guess I'll have to let you know.



*yeah, I know, I know. It wasn't vaguely funny. I'm sorry.

It's Movember already?

Eggs

Wow. Doesn't time fly? It's going to be Christmas before you know it!

In other news, I have less than three weeks of course left for the year! Not that I haven't enjoyed it, but I'll be glad to have a break. I think mum's a bit angry that I'm not working full time over the holidays, but I have other things I'd like to do instead, and I'm looking forwards to it immensely (assuming I don't get kicked out of home like she's been threatening to for the last few years. Naaaaah...)

Also, I owe a bit of an apology to the people coming in search of nude sketches: I've been slack with photographing my work lately, I promise I'll do it this week, okay? And an apology in advance to those certain people *winks* coming in search of anything but naked people: I actually mean my previous promise. If it makes you feel any better though, you can always squint and imagine they are wearing diving suits.

Anyway, love you all! Happy Movember!

Holidays are never as long as they should be.

Especially when you only have one week of them. I still have a fair chunk of coursework I really should do before I go back, too. But instead, I've been trawling the interwebs and drawing strange things... which is, admittedly, what I do every holiday. I even started a new sketchbook!

Sketchbook Cover again!

I was rather inspired by Tristan Manco's Street Sketchbook, a look inside the sketchbooks of a whole bunch of contemporary street artists, designers and other interesting folk who make things that are so visually inspiring things that they excite me enough to want describe them all in such depth that you'll get bored and wander off... so I will restrain myself.

Just.

Anywho, be expecting a longer post on Monday* when I go back to course, and can get a hold of my photos from my final brief for you to see. Come prepared for Kenny Rodgers.

*Provided that I don't explode from lack of describing.
