Don't even ask

(My first ever Macro photography attempts.)

So bit of a shit one today, for various reasons all of which are probably the related to very little sleep. I got yelled at by some DOUCHE at the traffic lights. See my car had this spray painted thingo i made on the drivers side. Usually I just get strange looks and the occasional laugh and nod, but today I got "YEH WELL FUCK OFF THEN, YOU CRAZY BITCH" which is just...charming.

I went on some adventures today though which was pretty wiki. Right near my (soon to be) apartment is a vintage and antique store, called Blue Bird Vintage. Its just meant to be really, with the amount of money I won't have when I start paying the rent.Anyway check it out Perthians.

Also went to a designer fabric store called Materialise. The guy there was Austrian but described himself as "very West Aussie" haha. Heaps of Liberty and Amy Butler fabrics. Heaps of dollars too, but worth it. These are peoples hands at work. I bought this cute Wizard of Oz inspired print, in 3 colour ways. (sorry bout the scan quality!)

Listening to: The Antlers, Hospice and thinking about James again.

Everybody meet Shea, Shea everybody.

Michelangelo is crazy good.
My sister (below, fast becoming my muse) wrote an essay about this painting titled 'The Last Judgment.' Kind of inspired me a little.

Been a bit distant this last week. Shea's went to Sydney to see Wilco play. I'm so jealous. We are getting our first house together this week, I'm so excited.

I am ready to owe you anything

Went and saw Kick Ass today and I really, really think you should see it asap. There are some awesome fight scenes and its pretty funny. Plus the hero is a 13 year old girl who murders drug dealers, so it's pretty much selling itself.

Told you I would put it on my blog.

I have to think of a new concept for Tec and it has to run on the vein of "australiana" which has been done to death already, so.... awesome.

I wanted to look at the monsters in the books of revelations and ezekiel from the bible. Take inspiration from the descriptions the prophets gave. I used to be pretty religious until I realised that religion has nothing to do with God.

I think dressing men (its a menswear assignment) as these monsters suggests that religion is created by people, not by God, and that we made it somewhat of a monster. It might be a stretch though, especially if I have to put something to do with Australia in there.

Maybe I'll just looks at some bushrangers.

Feckin Australia.

One day I'll go to my doctor and tell him I don't want to grow up
Cos growin ups' a kind of torture
He'll say 'here honey,
Take some drugs,
And you'll be fine.'

Everyone is falling for the pastels this winter. Myself included. So I thought I would post this picture (one of the many assignments this term that SUCK to do but actually turn out pretty cool) to remind myself that colour, no matter how blatent or subtle should make you stop and just absorb what is going on around you.
