Made in London

My favourite animal...

There are a number of things I can't draw.... on demand, myself or whales.
Finally I've drawn a whale worthy of a post!!!

He's soo beautiful! But I have bouts of Bathophobia so I'll probably never get to see one up close :(

Lego Birthday

Happy Birthday to me...

Circus Animals

Inspired by my new favourite book 'Altered Art Circus!'

What I see....

Poe is making me see everything in miniature! I can't help but look at the most random of objects and turn it into an apothecary/entomologists/church/town square.... the list goes on....

All these items were bought at Charity shops and car boot sales over the past week...

A barbie shelf... I see an apothecary (originally turquoise; I added the brown oil paint to give it this Bioshock look)

Battered old wooden pencil sharpeners.... I see a carousel 

Insects in resin... I see entomologists

Plastic animals.... I see circus 

Bell, candle holders, cross, metal plates and glass box... I see a church

Marble and metal ornament... I see a fountain

One day all these random items will be part of a movie set, today they are a-load-of-crap-taking-up-too-much-space!

Sketchbook

EXTRA! EXTRA!

THE FUTURE OF EVOLUTION IS SHORTER LEGS!
Who knew that the diorama setting had so much more to offer!?

Clown...

I don't like clowns, but I like to draw them...

St Catherines Woods and Other Tales

If you go down to the woods today....

I think having a camera helps me to find clues... now all I need is a Sherlock Holmes hat to figure out what they mean...

A dirty mirror and a camera...

I got 6 followers! woooo my head's spinning!

Today I wrote daddy a letter... he's only been asking for a coupla years and lil sis beat me to it so I thought I'd go one better and draw him an ARMY-MEDIC-LEGO-MAN! He's gonna be so proud :P

Once I start I really can't stop... I found this amusing death-come-for-cake birthday card online so I made my own seeing as its my birthday in 6 days. But I didn't do the writing yet...

Then I drew the whole skeleton...

The problem with Poe is that he can sometimes look a little like Hitler, I don't like this picture but I thought I'd add it for comedy value...

And last and certainly least, the random doodle of two doll like persons, I never draw people like this... In fact I don't think I even drew this, it looks like something out of 'All Grown Up' (the Rugrats when they.... all grown up)...

Goodbye my 6 :P

Entomology

An entomologist will be moving in soon...

Poe's stuff

I have been trying to find a dolls house desk template but so far I've had no luck :(

But I did make some other things to go in Poe's room...

Poe's Bedroom

I've got all these crazy notions about how I want my Poe movie to look. For the last few weeks I have been playing around with photoshop to attempt to realise some of these ideas. Today I had a massive breakthrough! With the help of lil sis we began by making this tiny victorian bedroom from a book I have called 'Make Your Own Victorian House'. From there we made our own, slightly bigger version.

This is the result + some special effects added by zeb :D

Shadowing

Diorama aka Tilt-Shift

I've been a fan of the tilt-shift effect for a while now but I've never been that good at getting it right on photoshop. The new camera has a diorama setting! So the tilt-shift effect is applied instantly.

This image was taken from the top of Sand Street Car Park using the diorama filter. It's not amazing but I'm getting there...

The Ring - 'Dead in Seven Days' photo frenzy...

'The Ring' is a Japanese horror film about a mysterious VHS tape XD

Watching this bizarro medley of video clips results in a spooky phone call; the voice on the other end telling you that you will die in seven days....

Nobody believes in such wacky notions in the first instance, but signs of their impending doom soon start to appear...

One of these eerie occurrences is the blurring of faces in previously sound photos...

These previously normal-non-blurred photos mysteriously distorted after my friends and I watched Teletubbies...

aaaaaaaaarrrrgh!

NIckolini's First day of school...

Attempting a diorama shot; standing on the couch...

the foreshortening makes little Nicki even littler, like a little doll :P

Jersey Air Display

Its been years since I watched the air display, I'm usually working or not fussed but now I got a new camera I thought I'd get all touristy and snap away. The first picture I love! You couldn't plan that kinda shot! :P

Things Found at Jersey Live 2010 Part 2

Part 2 because I found some more stuff and because I have a new camera! :D

I prefer the first pictures but I was going a bit nuts on the whole art filter thingys...

Jersey Live band, two bra straps (brand new found in a sealed packet), a key, a pearl (there was lots of pearls...

The stage plan for Paul Weller, a green feather, some glow sticks, a flower head band and an elastic band...
Thank you for not smoking. It's the law!
Jersey Live in sepia, its like western festival time!
More on my Flickr.

Finally bought my new camera!

I got my new camera today! It's soo beautiful...

I couldn't really find anything to take pictures of so I poured my 'box of special things' out and took these on different art filter settings...

Sepia...

Diorama
Pin Hole
Old Film Grain
Pop Art
I got some more here.

This is the start of a snap happy relationship with me and my first decent camera :D

P.S. if you don't know what to get me for my birthday ask me what accessories I need :P
