Thinking about missed opportunities and a forgotten passion.

It's actually quite funny.

no thanks

I submitted this drawing to a tote bag contest and they sent me an e-mail letting me know that I didn't win but I should still buy a bag.

Trying hard to find a purpose.

Sound of desperation

Wish that I was there

Found my travel buddies in my passport that I had drawn up for my trip to London last November to photograph with the surroundings. I only ever used one, I was way too trigger happy. Rewind, you can never be too trigger happy.

Only in Dreams 2

This drawing (an exquisite corpse of sorts) is indeed still in process. I don't work on it everyday, I just add a bit here an there when I need to clear my head.

Only in Dreams

Chicken noodle soup with crumbled feta cheese and quartered tomatoes was so good for the soul today..

The Vault

At the time of this final drawing project, I had an incredible pull to spray paint halos over female models/celebrities in Vogue magazines and to carefully cut out their eyes. Sometimes I cut out their faces entirely and pasted them onto drawn bodies of the cuckoo bird which build their nests by stealing it from other birds and ruthlessly throwing out its containing eggs. Then I just had to hand draw renaissance nudes wearing string bikinis and butterfly tattoos. At the time of this project, I had no idea why I was doing this, but looking back I can finally understand..

Violet

Sewed 3/4 of a thin wool longcoat, feel jubilant because of it.

cat ears and rainbow

Listening to a ridiculous amount of kpop and being inspired by people who draw well.

Like an Avalanche

Not really like an Avalanche, just really really enjoying an album that came out 10 years ago and realized I only knew one song from it, truly unfortunate. I'm sure you know Frontier Psychiatrist, too.

Tighten your buttocks, and pour juice on your chin.

Hair food

I used to wish I had coarse hair like my Barbados-Canadian childhood best friend. I was amazed at how one day her hair would be short, filled with colourful and bulbous accessories and the next she'd have long braids down to her butt.

I wanted to head dance like her, stomp like her and play super mario kart with her.

Sometimes the affinity still strikes me unexpectedly.

g-shtält

n. pl. ge·stalts or Ge·stalts or ge·stalt·en or Ge·stalt·en (-shtältn, -shtôltn, -stältn, -stôltn)

A physical, biological, psychological, or symbolic configuration or pattern of elements so unified as a whole that its properties cannot be derived from a simple summation of its parts.

The Gestalt effect refers to the form-forming capability of our senses, particularly with respect to the visual recognition of figures and whole forms instead of just a collection of simple lines and curves.

the tip of my tongue is numb.

Other concerns

I smell like vanilla and banana, a most perfect lotion combination that I would have never known existed if it weren't for an amazing pen-pal. My drawing has been scarce but I should really remember to never stop and keep developing, I have big dreams which require quite some work.

In other news, a design project my friend and I collaborated on and submitted to a competition has been shortlisted from a total of 300 submissions! The competition is OneOff's Food Design Competition 6 and our project is called "Slo". It'll be part of an exhibition starting in Torino, Italy later this month (where the winners of the 3 different categories will be announced) and then will be shown at the London Metropolitan University in November.

I was hoping to go to Italy but unfortunately I am not so fortunate (despite having played a considerable role in having the opportunity at all as well as some important idea/work credit -tooting my own horn due to slight bitterness) and will have to hope to go to London instead. Which is just as exciting but it would have been better if both involved were to go together (and by the looks of the official invitation the Italy exhibition looks like it's going to be a massive deal). It's an irk and a pinch I'll have to get over.
