I literally own a television box!

Hello everyone,


I now have a television box! I bought an "Western Digital - TV Live" it is pretty neat. It lets me view pictures, watch my movies, listen to internet radio, watch youtube videos, and look at flickr photos! It is really neat! I can do all of this off my usb stick/usb external hard drive, or the good olde internet! Plus, it is fully HD, which will be pretty cool if I get an HD TV. :) Here is a link to the website, to give it a look at.

The, a typography experience.

Sitting at my table with a marker, and a piece of paper that had some errors on it. I decided to start with the word "the". I then, kept on drawing 'the' in different type styles. My favourite one is definitely the very slanted one, the third one down on the left. Which is your favourite? Also, my friend Mallius got me a calligraphy set with 3 beautiful nibs, and 3 different colour inks, purple, blue, and of course black. I haven't opened it up yet, but soon I will be using it, and drawing some very amazing calligraphy. Thank you again. :)

Hello everyone,

Here is another update. I have did a little work of calligraphy without an proper pen. I instead used a fine tipped marker, and a sharpie for the bottom portion. You gotta make do with what you got! I think it looks sort of fancy, it isn't my best work ever though. But, I'll certainly get better.

I got my mojo back!

Hello everyone.

I seem to be getting back into drawing, sort of. I've been drawing just lots of fun things nothing serious right now, I'm just doing this for myself. I actually sort of an obsession with drawing plugs for wall sockets. It's sort of strange, but I am strange. I hope to have more posts, more often, and of more importance of course. I hope to have set up an etsy shop shop soon selling some of my things. We'll see of course. Plus, I got to get more calligraphy to show you.

An update, at last!

As the header states, Hello! It's been a while since I have updated anything at all. So I thought hey, let's scan some sketches from my sketchbook and make a post about it.

I have been trying to explore calligraphy lately. I have been learning online, I have a nice fountain pen I am trying to create calligraphy with. However, I do not want to scan my samples of my work just yet. Here is something sort of related to it, just not done in the fountain pen. Plus, it has been raining these past days, so it has to deal with the rain aswell!



And here is a random drawing I did today. It really means nothing, and the television sort of looks cool. I started to draw a heart, then I put some fluffy sides to the heart, and the words "Country Haven" popped into my mind.

IF: Cocoon

I thought this image I did back in 2008 would be very appropiate for this weeks word. As butterflies come out of cocoons.

A collection of notepads

For my final project, my teacher told me I could do anything, and that was sort of a challenge for me, as I need some guidelines. I had a few ideas to start off with, such as my poetry booklet I was going to do. However, those ideas, did not interest me about 2 weeks into the project. So, I had to quickly react to as what I was going to do. I asked my teacher for suggestions and he said to do some stationary. I really enjoyed the idea of stationary. He showed me some artists as well, that sort of draw like I do. Which I found to be very interesting.

Well, here is my stationary, I really do hope you enjoy it. It was quite the process, I used Illustrator for the line work, and photoshop for the colour, and some clean up, if needed.

Rough Work

These my rough works for my stationary. In the second picture you can slightly notice my Hot Chocolate stain, just in case you were wondering what it was. It is also on my front page a bit, even though it landed on the opposite side. It was the morning, I had hot chocolate, it is sometimes a deadly combination.







I hope you truly enjoyed this. :)
