Painting Final

Got to present my works yesterday. Really happy with how they turned out. Here's my final white painting I finished on Friday.

I put them up really high on the wall. I think craning your neck to look at works add a certain ...dimension.

Callum, Paige and the Trust Experiment

I finally convinced Paige to let me cut her hair. I was totally confident, spurred on by that Regina Spektor song, and also by Terry Devlin, my grandpa.

"Do you know what the difference between a good haircut and a bad haircut is?"

"No."

"Three weeks! (laughs)"

Paige prepares.

AND...

(she was actually way happier when she saw it)

After trying to make the sides even and ending up cutting it WAY shorter then intended, I decided to go for asymmetry. WAY easier. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, but it was a bit touch and go for a minute there.

Anyway, anyone who wants me to cut their hair, step right up. I've got a lot of karma to make up on from the amount of times Steven's cut mine.

smoulder

 Today I bought a suit jacket. I was showing Oli and he liked it so much that he decided to put his on to remind everyone how good he looks in a suit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 In other news Oli has perfected his Cary Grant smoulder.

POSTMODERN ESSAY

1500 WORDS

pproccess

Thought ya'll might appreciate some process photos, to understand just how state of the art my latest set of white paintings are. In case you're wondering, they're pretty much necessitated by my large collection of white acrylic paint. As well as a cautioned journey away from the highly saturated palette I'm accustomed to dealing with. I don't mean to undersell them. I'm actually really thrilled with how they turned out. They represent an exploration around a set of rules, and really feel like the first works in some sort of larger idea. However, my painting brief just finished, which is extremely bad timing. I would have loved to experiment further, but no doubt the distractions and priorities of next semester may hinder this slightly. Anyway, I see it as a door left open. Who knows?

Happy Birthday Stephen

Murder In Mind

Finally uploaded this, our V48 Hours short from last year. Felt pretty bad I hadn't done it as this years competition was just this past weekend. Unfortunately, did not take part. Currently going for the "too much on" excuse, but I know as the excitement builds throughout heats and such I'm probably going to regret it sooner or later.

Many thanks to all who took part, and grand apologies for those I haven't even shown it to yet.

It's a bit of a mess but I'll let it speak for itself.

Policeamobiles present, Murder In Mind.

white out

Two more white paintings. They don't photograph very well. If you're in Wellington come by and I'll show you them in person and you'll be all "Oooh... I get it."

Callum Versus The Sea

So. I'm making video art. Yeah... not so sure. Be worried. Potential disaster ahead.

Coming Soon.

It's Cold Out

When we boil pasta in a big pot it fills up our kitchen with steam. Cheap heating and a delicious meal. Worried about surviving winter and it hasn't even started yet.

So I'm Losing My Job

Blockbusters lease is expiring in two months so that means I'm out of a job. If anyone wants to employ me, email me. Not only will you be really helping me out, but you'll save me having to try harder to find employment than asking my blog.

The upside is that we're selling all our stock. Which means super cheap DVDs. Paige and I got amongst.

Paige was really happy then I told her to be serious as this is serious business goings on.

 

 Anyway it was super fun and exciting and we got a wicked haul...

 

 Paige's pile ^^^                                                          My pile ^^^ (pretty much just indie wank).

But seriously about that job?

Huh.

TOP TIP! - Play them both at once for full effect.
