This is me tonight.

I had a horrible realization about half an hour ago. This realization was that a majority of the people I draw have 90’s hair-cuts, or just dire hairstyles. Why, oh why!?
I forgot to share this last week so I will do it now. My youngest brother, Marlon, has taken up stop-motion animation and has made this hilarious music video to LMFAO’s ‘Party Rock Anthem’. You have to hand it to him, for his first video, it’s pretty damn clever.
I’ve been trying. I bought a Big Set of watercolours and have been giving them a go. Up until two days ago I resented watercolours with a passion, but now we have a re-newed friendship. Just practicing with them, just playing around, has been quite fun.
Disregard the proportion for a second.
This is my boyfriend, Houman. One of the things I like best about him is the way he lights his cigarettes.
Click the eye button to go to my Propect Project website!
My finished Prophecy Project is a predictive card game that allows you to spin the dial and select cards to predict the future. There are 18 cards altogether with an array of future prophecies, some factual and others false. It’d be great if you could have a go and let me know what you think to it.

booooooom (1) is my favourite blog. A Vancouver-run site, it’s a constant source of inspiration for me. It features illustrations, short films, and music that is up-and-coming. God only knows where Jeff Hamada, the author, finds all these neat people! He also accepts submissions.
I was doing a bit of a catch up today, and one recent post mentioned a Minneapolis-based design studio called Landland. They make beautiful (and I mean BEAUTIFUL) posters for bands such as Bon Iver and The Black Keys. Check them out, too.

Thing No. 1
Andy from Frank designs (1) got back to me saying that they used the alien and seahorse designs I drew up for them a month and a half ago to come up with some branding for a new company in Edinburgh. Although they didn’t use them as the final designs, I’m glad I got to contribute to the mock-ups.
Thing No. 2
My prophecy project is up and running on the internet. I will unleash it next Tuesday after I present it to my class!
Today in my 2 hours of no technology I walked through town and listened to all the musicians. I clapped really loudly when they were finished with a song. Passerbys seemed to think was a bit odd (maybe they thought I was taking the piss?), but why can’t we appreciate street musicians just as much as concert musicians? Anyway, I gave this lady 57p, all the change left in my purse, and a saxophone player got £1 which was a bit unfair (I’m sorry).
I hate drawing trees. I have never been able to draw trees and I don’t think I ever will.
My 16-year-old brother is a phenomenal computer game programmer. He is helping me make an online card game. Coming soon.
Yesterday we trekked to London to meet Lisa Stickley. She is having me work for her this summer, helping her set up two businesses, as an intern! I cannot wait. I am lost for words. I am looking for places to live in London over the summer. Wow.
