The Lantern Festival

Great timing for me to get my camera! The lantern festival was this weekend so I went along with some friends to get some photos. These are my first ever photos with this camera, so bear with me. Still learning!

New Toy!

Just picked this up today, probably the best hangover cure. So excited, can’t wait for my lenses to arrive so I can get snapping! :D

Drawing night @Fracture

I went along to the 2nd drawing night at Fracture, I tried to sketch the room, everything kept getting moved, haha. Can’t draw faces very well. Need to improve! 9,998 hours to go.

Portrait – more progress!

This one will be slow progress, I’ve only got time to work on this one during my lunchbreak on my day job. Night times have got me pretty busy with another hush-hush project – not personal work though. Anyway, here’s a quick snap of what I’ve done. Tattoos are sketched on. I’m having a heap of trouble deciding what to do with this. Should I colour it? or keep it all pencil shading. Hmmm. What do you think?

Them Crooked Vultures

Went to see TCV live on Saturday. all I can say is. WOW. Amazing. the musicianship was so good. The band were so tight, they looked like they’ve been playing together for years. They definitely look like they have fun on stage together too. playing off each others talent.

It was actually hard to decide where to look on stage cause so much was happening at once. Grohl’s relentless drumming, Josh’s amazing guitaring or JPJ’s skill on every instrument he picked up.

I must say it was a lot better live than on the album.

If you haven’t yet. Check out this band!

Last Minutes with ODEN

This video is so cool. It’s pretty sad though – just a caution if you don’t want to look like you’re about to cry in front of your mates haha. Wonderful shots throughout and the quality of the video is rad. Great story and insight into the relationship with man’s best friend.

New drawing in progress- Pond themed?

So, doin a commission for a friend of mine. Didn’t really know what I was gonna do, so I just let my mind wander and put my pencil onto paper. Started drawing this weird frog guy and his little friend / pet. I hope it turns out good.
