I love Eric's new video :)

I want a Tattoo

So yes, I have been wanting to get a tattoo for a while now.. but being the fussy me, I couldn't decide what I want on. Went researching and stumbled across this.









I think it was an awesome idea. I should maybe just do this :)

City lights' Life is Wonderful

After my last essay last year, I've drawn a lot to street art. Just couldn't seem to not notice it now.. I always find myself staring at the graffiti on the walls when I'm in the train, constantly looking for the name of the artist. See who's tagging what, which group did the massive black and white poster, and which ones ruined it.. lol

And so naturally, when i came across this website... It was instant love bookmark in my browser. I hope you enjoy it as well.

I wish I had the patience to do them. I haven't drawn anything in AGES. As in, other than uni stuff, I haven't done crap. Kinda makes me sad, coz I used to draw a lot, and they were my therapy..

Anyways, these pictures were taken few weeks ago in Hosier lane, when few of my friends decided to paint there.








Until Never Gallery.. wanna go there!












This wasn't the first time we did it. But it's my second time going with them, and like the first time. I didn't do any drawing or painting or any art. But I did paint this:



Yes, Life is Wonderful.

EVERYTHING

Just thought I'd sum up everything I've done this semester in this post.


------------------

Brief 1 - Visual Noise



First brief was, to be honest, done really fast. I did experimentation with the effects in Illustrator in classes and on my free time, but I didn't really document them. So I submitted the very first scratch pad that I did in class, since that's the only one I had with me. I like to use texture, and I never knew I cold use texture in Illustrator, so I think I might have over did it..

------------------


Brief 2 - Visual Fiction



I have a little obsession for sheep. And thought this would be a fun thing to do as a concept. I stamped-tool a LOT, and for some bits on the edge I re-painted the fur.

------------------


Brief 3 - Transition



I've missed few classes during this project, so I had a little hard time using After Effects, but I think I've managed alright. Rotating was fun to do. My original idea was to have a singing vocal too, but I realized synching them would be so damn hard, so I didn't.

------------------

Brief 4 - Type based Animation



Finally, last brief. Text based animation. My original idea was just to have the text flipping around the screen and have the background changes colour, but during the process, they started to hurt my eyes, so I didn't end up flashing the backgrounds. I did the dots instead and synch them with the music beats. The first 2 dots were meant to be the piano, the middle one was bass/guitar (and maybe a bit of the vocal) and the last two on the right are for the random strings. I really like the simplicity of this piece, I know it's not anything fancy about the text but I think I've fulfilled what I wanted to do with this brief. That is, if this video made you feel at least the tiniest bit of goodness.

WIP for Brief 4

Took me the whole day....

Whale

My friend showed me this animation when I was youtubing for cool clips for inspirations.. Found a lot of course, but this one was just funny to share. Haha.

Some nifty website..

I found while I was researching for an essay on Street Art that I am working on for a theory unit.. http://www.woostercollective.com

And some cool pictures I found in that website.
