drawings from my head

i tend to always keep some sort of visual journal. basically, its just little books of drawings that mean something to me, but cant fit in anywhere else.
here's a recent few...

oh yes.

i found a new photo editing software online, seeing as my computer seems to have some sort of issue with installing photoshop (which is a joy), so yeeees. i found this. and edited this.


oh haiii me.

magic is average

a trip to the beach in early march, sitting on the sand at about 11pm shivering drinking wine. i asked my present someone special,
'what was the most beautiful thing you have ever seen? when have you experienced true beauty?'
i am happy that he for once answered a question seriously. he told me that when he was younger he, his dad and his brother went on a walk to climb a mountain. when they reached the top of the mountain and they looked around. all they could see was cloud. then, for a slight moment, the cloud dispersed and they could see a view of the landscape that lay so far beneath them. as suddenly as it appeared, the cloud drifted back again. a short sweet moment of beauty.

my current university project is 'magic'. i decided to approach this differently to a generic rabbit out of a top hat. i feel a constant annoyance at people who get 'bored'. and people who put so much want and value on possessions and superficiality. i wanted to present that magic is everywhere. magic can be found in everything. magic is average.

so through this and the story Will told me, i created these three sequential illustrations. i may perhaps screenprint them at some point.


oh yeah. btw. i do illustration. im a graphic communications student. should have probably mentioned that. well, here's your first taste. not quite cake. but yet, a little bit like cake.

or not.

hairy men

some beautys.

i am quite picky with my indie boys though. i dont like the skinny fashionista ones. i like the dirty, hairy, grizzly ones. or the ones that look like some sort of crossbread between a Victorian and a hippy. mmm.
i likey.

especially at the moment, robin pecknold.

mumford and sons song timshel, beauty lyrics. a snippet...
But you are not alone in this
And you are not alone in this
As brothers we will stand and we'll hold your hand
Hold your hand

i love the meaning of the word 'timshel' too, in hebrew it means 'thou mayest', meaning that man has the choice to overcome sin and evil, or let sin and evil defeat you. but the point is, its your choice.
