There’s something funny about the eye, it goes weird in the light

Update
I haven’t been able to post the last week two weeks, mainly because I finally have got the flu and I haven’t finished any of my artwork that I’m working on, or been anywhere. So I’ll just show you some stuff that I’ve been working on, maybe search my infinate gally of photos and put some more pictures up for you, but for now I’ll leave it as this.
Using my woodburning tool
The background for my drawing. The drawing assessment is to draw on a non-fine art material or subject, so I’m drawing a topographical map, using my woodburning tool, on wood then using two photos of mine as the main subject ontop.
These are the photos that I’m using, if you can see it, I’ve just roughly drawn it ontop with charcoal, still not sure how I’m going to colour it, with soft pastels or ink/watercolour, need to think about it more..
For my painting class, painting my sub-culture.I didn’t know how to do this, so I’m using animals as a representation of people. I don’t refer myself to a particular sub-culture, to me, I’m an outcast, can’t properly fit-in to this modern society, I’m not like anyone else. I know I can only relate to my fiance, jesse, hence the birds in the centre, represnting two ‘love birds’ I gues. Then appart from him I think I can relate to my family, which will be little meerkats in the background, they were the best animals I can think of that would best relate to family.

Brisbane City
I would never like to live in the city, way to busy for that, but it’s so nice to walk around, the clash of the old and the new, the crazy hords of people and cars and buses. The change in scenery is overwhelming and exciting.

White Rock, Ipswich
A while ago I went to Rock White (which is located in the Redbank-Goodna area, but is associated as part of the Ipswich region) with some mates for the first time, it is amazing, I just love bushwalking! There’s something about the bush which is calming and peaceful, and all the troubles and the worries that is happening within my life just get swept away in the beauty of the landscape. It’s nice to just look at all of God’s beauty and be reminded about how amazing he truly is.
Although I think the Rock should be called ‘Cat Rock’, because as you will see in my photos, from the angle I was looking at, it really looks like a Cat face! or a persons face on the other angle. But it’s called ‘White Rock’ from its indigenous heritage.
We took the ‘Little White Rock’ Trail to get there, which is an easy walk, all flat paths except for the stairs which you need to climb up to get the picnic area which is at the base of the Rock face, that part is a bit exhausting.

- The side of the rock, don’t you think it looks like a cat face? how exact!
-
- Kinda looks like an egyptian head.

Started Printing the Invites!
Finally starting to print the wedding invites! Took me an hour just to get these 13 printed, although the first two were just S/P (State Proofs, meaning that I’ve changed something to the image, like cut a little more out etc.) But still progress! I have a little time so I’m not going to rush getting these printed, try to work on at least 10 prints anytime I get time to do it.
If you can see it, there’s a flower between the two people, that was unintentional! but I like that it happened.
Little handmade stool
I was cleaning up my studio and I had this tray which I’ve had since I was 12 and some spare wood lying around so I made quick little stool/ table with them, I just cut the wood to 400mm long and screwed them onto the tray side.
One of the legs though is a little dodged, would’ve worked better if I used an electric drill. Although I was able to sit on it without it collapsing, which surprised me.
Drawings
For my drawing class we were supposed to make 20 drawings, Here’s what I got so far… sorry about the dodgy quality of the photos.
