Listening: 'Rock n Roll Train' by AC/DC
So much to do but for the first time this whole year, I feel like I'm right on track. It's gonna be busy and expensive in the next two months. Took my portfolio design to the book binders at Henley Beach and the quote for my design was over $300. Heck, had to choose a simpler box design from Mario which only cost $140. I'm still gonna go ahead and try make my design myself. Just need to go to Bunnings to get some timber and try out their hire shop. Zeren is telling me to wait for him cos he wants to do hire shop too. If only I had a workshop....
Things to do this weekend:
- Check Finsbury out and email them (they're giving us 250 free namecards when we print)
- Start on David's painting
- Burn flash for Zeren
- Website design
- Two more narrative scenes
- Research items I need for nov
* - cross out my fingers that i'll be wise enough with my money to afford a lightbox and easel by next year.
Told Zeren that it'll be better if he skips a trip to Adelaide in Nov and go for December. I'll be pretty tied up until after first week of December. It's scary once all of it is over because I'll be in the land of uncertainty. I don't even know if I can go back to Singapore. I do want to get a headstart in getting a part time job and lighten abit of burden off my parents. Would like to get my portfolio going at the same time. If I could get freelance jobs soon, it'll be sweet. I have to see whatever comes my way. Can't wait for Zeren to move back in too. Things would be so different next year. I'll be working and he'll be studying. Surreal hey? But I'm pretty sure I want to do a dinner party for my mates outdoors at my place in Jan. I've got a special reason for them. Finally, after 10 months, I remembered to get permission from couple of people in which I used their photos for my drawing practice and these sketches will be in my portfolio.
And everyday, I am fighting a daily battle for the past 10 years.
Kiwi blokes talk too much when they're drunk.

'Open your eyes!' - Keith Scott, One Tree Hill
I am getting tired of dealing with silly people and their stupid questions. Seriously, there are more important things in life. Open your eyes!
Finished my celebrity portraits. Not happy with some bits. I'll wait for David to mark them and get them back so I can tweak a few areas. It was a challenging assignment I set for myself as all my photo references were black and white. I had to imagine and put colour onto their faces. My eyes started to hurt and see colours. And some of the photo references were abit flat which resulted in flatness in some areas. Guess the common theme between Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix and Heath Ledger. There are several answers to it but only one answer to why I chose them. Updated siti :)
