weekend is nearly heree

Have my last assessment due in today, then exams in about a week. Can't wait till its all over!

Here are some picciesss to start of Friday morning.

ok so recently found out about this Australian graffiti artist called 'Phibs' who i think does amazing work. Makes me want to take up graffiti art! He has worked for companies such as Absolut Vodka, and decorated places such as Max Brenner (Paddington), a cafe called 'Glow Cafe' in Newtown and many random alley ways throughout Sydney. He has also done many works overseas.

Phibs, throwing as sneaky. King of cutbacks.

Another Artist i admire is Banksy; a well-known pseudo-anonymous english street artist. He works are quite controversial. "His artworks are often satirical pieces of art on topics such as politics, culture, and ethics. His street art, which combines graffiti writing with a distinctive stenciling technique, s similar to Blek le Rat."

Don't act like you don't see me, darling

I love sitting on a train for ages just listening to music and staring out the window till i get lost in my own thoughts about everything possible... Then back to reality when my train stop comes.

The amount of times i have been so out of it, that i nearly missed my station to get off is ridiculous.

Its so relaxing staring out the window, watching the world pass by like your on a ride that never stops, and your happy it will never stop. One day i will buy me a ticket to Scone or Maitland and just sit on that train for hours, then get off and enjoy myself for a short period of time at my destination, then once again hop on another train to go home.

I know i am lame but i find that exciting, and such an easy escape.

Heres some random picture i found; I'm liking the contrasting textures between the sky and the ground, one being smooth and blending and the other course and sharp.

I am so sleep deprived i should get to bed. Going to bed super late and waking up extremely early every day isn't that fabulous.

hello hellooooo,

but I can't fix you and you don't want me

Monday morning is always such an effort.

Vlad Tepes "The Impaler"

Can't wait to go back there this year.

I've had the page on the right on my wall in my room for so long, i just love each little piece that was used to put it together. I looove those studded shoes

My friends mum made the craziest and simplest painting using black/white paint, decent sized canvas, and masking tape. She painted the canvas in a thick layer of white paint. When that was nearly dry, she covered the canvas in masking tape, making weird shapes and patterns, then on-top of that, she painted the whole canvas black. When it was all dry she ripped the masking tape off, and had all these awesome white messy patterns.

Creative huh? I can't wait to do this!

schoooes

Did this drawing of a friend yesterday.

Used: Pencil, Watercolour and Charcoal.

then i run

I really want a tattoo, but one of those 'clear'/uv ones. Like Linsey Lohan's 'breathe' tattoo; although im not sure if it is a uv one...

I want one either on my wrist or on my back (coming down along my spine from my head). I'm in love with Victoria Beckham's tattoo written in Ancient Hebrew Poetry. The beginning of her tattoo translates to :

"I am my love’s
and my love is mine,
who browses among the lilies..."
