5-august-'10

super lovely.
played jess' favourite songs.
all was well.

and it was followed by apple pie and spanakopita.

a ccp night in photos.

with also some snippets of the gertrude street projection festival.

(events in reverse order so that i can put my favourite photo as very last)

(they get bigger if you click.)
mesmerised by the slow-motion wingsloved the projections on footpaths best.

also went to:
centre for contemporary photography
kodak salon

then walking home
taking photos
favourite! it's too bright. i think. but i was trying to be quick. because it was through a window at night and there were people from inside on the outside watching me. photographing the end of a sale.

but the limbs!
all the wonderful limbs...

receipt scribblings.

receipt scribblings.

myki receipts - while i don't even use this crazy ticket replacement - frustrate me. (perhaps in the same way as disgarded tickets, but hush)
so. upon missing trains/finding them to be delayed/just generally waiting at stations I am collecting myki receipts. and drawing on them the train station which i happen to be waiting at.
the paper is quite nice.

and moleskine update:

bill henson lecture

35 blind contour sketches of bill henson from his lecture on light + dark + shades of grey.
i do like light and dark and grey. he says that most things are grey. he likes titian. one, two, three, four, five, six
and an introduction.nineteen faces and two sets of hands rested intertwined on knees.
one face and nine hands. making discussion gestures.
nine faces, one small quote - "lost domain of childhood" - and one bill henson signature.
along with one softly-heard and unscripted quote:
"i need a wig."

visual diary situations.

printmedia vis diary update:'looking up'
: waste of time'chair'
: waste of space
masking tape. yellow plastic. sticky tape. hard rubbish furniture.lots of chair. with shadows and angles.
lino cuttin'.
fingers: in tact. hmm! haven't printed any yet. maybe this week. maybe RIGHT NOW. (unlikely right now).


moleskine update:
it's getting close to finished. so it's slowing down.
coming soon...
glass vis diary + studio update

Full size.

Oh, i highly recommend this.
just because i love it.

It's little bits of acrylic paint - (remnants of Will, if you like). collected with sticky tape.
and in the way that my images normally don't, it enlarges to full size.
ohhhh yeahhhh.

I'm painting Will.

i'm always painting Will.
don't tell him though.
he can find out if he happens to check. he of the three very demanding blogs.

oh amazing! i can re-cap on my paintings of Will.
oil on canvas

The result of a conversation over a poor quality photograph.
"Will, you look like Jesus."
"I do not."
"Oh yeah?" *paints*

2009
Will being tired - painted from life - on Yuan's bed in London. while he was likely on youtube.


Will today.
post dying his hair.
secretive.
i'm not done.
i'm likely still not done.
crud. i got pen-happy and now the eyes are warped and the hair is swirly.
*cackles*
GREY...GREYYY!
this is becoming all a bit ridiculous and i'm starting to like the first one best with its non-matching eyes and non-overworkedness.
i'd better get it right this next time or that is it.
Will's third imortalisation will be the devil.
hah.
and the first was jesus.
making me think perhaps i should stop now while there's a weird sort of humour.
