time to panic

3 weeks and i will be finished! no more college, no more work and i have so much left to do! but i will how ever have to grow up and get a 'proper' job and actually decide what i want to do with my life . . . . . i'll think about that in 3 weeks. . . . .

i won't lie to you i am starting to panic now but i will get everything done!
i have done the majority of my practical work, in fact i have a few extra pieces which i might frame or mount, if i have time that is, might just put them on a board for my assessment <---- thats the lazy option but also the quickest.

 my stitched skeleton with a sword going through his rib cage, think I'm going to call him erik

so today i started to lay out all my pieces and work on the composition of my final piece, to be honest i thought this wouldn't take long, i really did think i'd be done in an hour but oh boy was i wrong! i just couldn't get it to look right, i moved everything over and over again so in the end i decided to leave it and go back to it on friday leaving me the next 3 days to do plenty of sketch booking and design boards. design boards are not my strong point but i am going to work my hardest on them. i'll let you know how i go.

these are some of my pieces but I'm no where near happy with this lay out! but its getting better

Another hour on the clock? that would be fab!

where is time going?? seriously it feels like this year is nearly over, i can't believe its April already! well i can't worry about that for now i have so much to do for my assessment deadline (14th of May), I'm on easter holidays at the minute and have already had 1 week off and 1 week to go and i have been a busy bee, but not with college work!


 firstly, i cleaned my room! and i can not only move in it but i can work in it with plenty of floor space. 

look! you can see the floor! my dog oscar can never pass up a photo opportunity.


i also worked really hard and finally got my friends wedding invites printed! it took just under 7 hours to print just under 250 invites but we did it!!! . . .  only to be told afterwards by her fiancé that we spelt repondez si'vous plait wrong, i am aware that this isn't the correct spelling either but i can't remember how it is. i was pretty annoyed as you can imagine but their still using them, its only a small error which you won't notice unless you speak french i don't think, plus they need them now really!

 this is a couple quick shots of our printing station!


I've only just started with my college work which so far is going well, got a few new illustrations and stitched pieces which i will upload later on. on my last day of college i took a few quick snaps of the print room i use at college

I'm working with blues as a background as a non morbid way to represent death. the poem I'm illustrating is about 2 dead boys, I'm not a morbid 'artist/designer' so i thought id rather use bright cold blues with a few darker blues than just black or other dark colours. i'll let you know how it goes!
