This is a desperation painting.

I was so stuck I chose the image I liked the most and drew it with a colic marker, and then decided to block 'colour' over it.

It's interesting to look at. I might need an abstract phase.

Another film shot. The colours are really strong, despite the grain.

I love film.

Selfie.

Just got some colour film processed. Some absolutely beautiful photos.

But here's a not so beautiful one.

Grungy though.

Walk around the lake today.

I shot some 35mm film on my Praktica, and 120mm on my Flexaret.

There are a few lovely shots on my Nikon DSLR, and they have turned out beautiful.

Can't wait to see the film shots!

We weren't allowed to say crap when I grew up. So if the last post gets deleted, it's because my mum made me take it down.

Not the easiest painting to take a photo of in a tiny student room, but here is 'Untitled'.

This was one of the best paintings I did in foundation, during the landscape theme. I was trying to draw attention to the environment that we are destroying, with a distraught looking figure.

I painted the face like that to annoy my tutor, and she ended up liking it more this way! It adds a sarcastic note to the painting, and is far more successful like this.

Sorry for being crap at uploading stuff! I'll be putting some of my old foundations paintings and experiments soon, loads of it is still pretty sweet!

This was an image I created in photoshop, making a double exposures. I wanted to create thematic juxtapositions, in this case contrasting a photo of a built up and 'synthetic' street against the biological abstraction of a tree's branches. This was what I was trying to portray a lot in my work in Foundation.

My Flexaret VI came from Slovakia!

I can't wait for my Ilford HP5 120mm to arrive! The viewfinder is beautiful, looking forward to do some portraits and landscape!

A really old painting - from last year.

I painted this in the summer after Foundation, still interesting with juxtapositions in conflict.

I hated it at the time, but it's been lying around in my room since I moved recently. And I like it now! It was never finished, but the concept comes across and matches the level of painting there.
