Ted, one of our art history lecturers, has made a habit of not having any source material to show us and instead playing scenes from movies like Jurassic Park and explaining how its really all about sex.
Most of my sketchbook drawings are just of people on the train.
Or collages out of the mX.
Or drawings of Antonia... who never sits still. I like the challenge.
There's an array of photos dating all the way back from February to just recently that I've wanted to put up, but don't really fit anywhere or deserve their own post. So here's a collection of odds and ends. Bits and pieces. Assorted others.
A month or so ago I found this old guy on the train, decked out in Jesus fan club banners, signs and flags, shaded by dark glasses with a contented grin on his face.
He made my day.
*Reminded me of a shirt I found in Byron Bay in about year 4 or something, with the slogan, 'Jesus loves you. Everyone else thinks you're a dickhead.' - I thought that shirt was hilarious, but I didn't have the guts to buy it. Insults weren't really my style.

These are some of the aquatints I've been creating from the source material for my printmaking folio. It's a tedious process involving poisonous resin dust and acid baths.Alright it's really not as hardcore as it sounds.
Each of these prints are about 12x9cm (ish), some are smaller.
