Hello there!
It's been a long time since I last posted, so let's rewind a bit. I wanted to post some things before I go off to Rye for a week.

WYNNE'S BIRTHDAY

It was my friend Wynne's birthday, and I had no idea what to do for her when an idea popped into my mind rather spontaneously.

I wasn't too sure how it'd turn out since I'd never made something with such a complex shape, getting the head right would be the hardest part.

I can't say I really succeeded.

I do have a lot of work in progress shots, but I think if I include them this post will be too long.

My Appa ended up looking like a sheep.

CAF'S BIRTHDAY

Caf asked me to do something rather embarrassing and I'm going to humiliate her by showing you all.

Sometimes I see artists post guides on the internet but they always look like this to me:

1. Start with a blank piece of paper.

2. Draw a rough guide.

3. Block in details.

4. Add some small details.

I had to increase the contrast a bit so you could see the pencil properly, ahah.

Anyway Judith and I also made her a card. I had a random idea that Judith was super creeped out by, ahahaha.

We had a set of googly eyes and Caf could flip up each picture which had holes cut into it, it was pretty funny. I hope she likes it. She could hang it above her bed and scare off pedos. Not that any would be interested.

I splurged a bit recently and my wallet hates me for it.

I got a hard drive, and some clothes. Also the cutting mat, which is A2. You can pick some up pretty cheap at the Reject Shop but they're not so thick.

I also got a new iPod case since my old one was a bit, er, really ugly.

The iPod touch looks really good without a case, but I just know I'll drop mine and break it forever.

I've forgotten how slim the iTouch is. Mine's the iPod 4th Gen, it's scarily thin and I always feel as if I'm going to snap it in my pocket.

The other day was the AGT (Australia's Got Talent) Melbourne auditions. I was woken up pretty early by a knock on the door.

GUESS WHAT WAS THERE.

The camera I'd ordered online arrived, and in time for Rye as well! SO EXCITING. I did a little spastic dance around my room before opening it.

Lots of bubblewrap.

YAYERS.

Unfortunately I didn't have time to play with it as I had to leave for AGT. I've taken a few photos since, I guess I'll be able to familiarise myself with it more at Rye.

Time to go pack.
