i've got the brains, you've got the looks, let's make lots of money  
i suddenly want an AU inspired on this song. :D



i wish i could post my big painting that i did for my final (it's the best work i did in all the semester in that class, even if it got me a barely passing grade :/ ) but i left it at school and they're not open and they're not answering phone calls. :[

so i'm posting all this stuff instead.




these are all copies of paintings. i did 9 of these but i'm only posting the best 4. spent 20-30 minutes on each.





















and this one too





the first one's a discarded idea for my graphic arts final. the second one's one of four drawings i ended up doing, and the only one i like.




(it got a little cropped at the sides)





the first one works with the idea of masks and bringing hidden flaws to the surface. worked with plaster and medical bandage (to show the defect they're supposed to correct). used my own twisted foot as a mold and installed it on a flight of stairs, for reasons that should be pretty obvious.

the fourth is a "map" for a bigger photography project i did about vacant places (no-places, normally hidden and avoided by people that i "discover" and bring to the foreground) and deviating from the routine (house-school route in this case) to go looking for them. used an actual map of my city, mixed parts of it and drew on them, manipulating and using a standardized language (cartography) in an arbitrary, subjective (more free) way. that's the short of it at least. whoop whoop.

I'd frame the the second picture from the top and put on my wall - the mood and the colourscheme are so soothing. Gorgeous!

Also the one bellow that one and kitty/candle one are pure love. The colours!

As are the last too - terrific job with the map, and the leg looks so beautifully fragile.

I like the first one and both of the graphic art final pictures, especially the first one. They are very good.

On a side not, I now have that song in my head - though after four days of humming Nickelback's Gotta Be Someone, at least it's a change - and visions of Remus talking Sirius into becoming a male model. Not good, not good, not good at all!

I'm sure he does. Never said I was going to write it, just that I had the vision in my head. LOL
