New season, new look!

The new season isn't just summer; now that I've finished uni, I decided my blog needed a little updating looks-wise.  I've got a website in the works, so hopefully that'll be looking all shibby and shiny soon, with a super neato custom blog attached!

Since moving away from uni - course-wise and location-wise - my motivation's dropped a little.  There's only so much clearing and tidying and unpacking I can take!  And it's taking a little while to get used to my new surroundings, but I can feel my old creative self coming out of hiding again!  Currently, in amongst some freelance, I'm still working on my second limited-colour print, which I hope to post up by the end of this week!  If I haven't, hound me until I do.  It's good for me.

In the meantime, enjoy this exciting piece of toast I had a while back.  Anybody found the key...?

Actually, I should totally be more excited that it's the summer!  Here's to the summer, and all the excitement it brings!  (even more exciting than toast with a keyhole)

Summer Theme #2 FINITO

It's done!  Finally!  Just finished it this morning - only 8 days past the deadline! - and while I could continue working on it, I'm happy to leave it where it is (and I'm too lazy to spend anymore time on it haha - 18 hours, I counted).  I've learnt a ton of useful stuff while making it though, which is also a bonus!

Unfortunately, it's quite a low quality jpeg to save on space, but hope you like it anyways!  :3

"I'll be back with the drinks"

 I think I'll be taking a little break from any intense art creation - my brain can't take anymore!

Summer Theme #2

I'm lagging behind a little on my second summer submission;  I've been working on it pretty solidly, but my body is telling me to take a break (oh, hello RSI)!  I might manage to finish tonight, before the official BA Summer Theme deadline, but in case I don't, here's a taste of what's to come!  Now, where's the martinis?

Summer Theme #1

Here's part one of my Summer theme for the BA forum theme!  I think it's pretty much done, and I'm pleased with it.  It was fun pulling together my influences, figuring out how best to use halftone on it, and trying out a limited colour palette and finding colours that worked together!

About halfway through my other Summer piece (the one mentioned in my previous post), and will post that up when I'm done; theme ends in 4 days!  Better shimmy!

Work ...in the works

I've got my piece going for the summer theme on BA, and I'm soooo excited about it; I'm learning so many things I wouldn't have otherwise learnt.  That's what the summer is for.  As well as maxing and relaxing.  Obviously.

I'm tempted to put up a WIP cuz it looks so darn good, but I think I'll save it for the finished article!
