SORRY!

Helooooo.

I am just writing to apologise for not having written anything for ages. I was in Paris for a week so was unable to post then, and since I have returned I have just been so busy with stuff for my university interviews that I've either had no time, or just totally forgotten about it! But why I am here now is just to say that I won't be posting religiously everyday like I was before, but will do every time I have a spare moment just so I do at least keep it going rather than stopping all together.

So until I next have a spare moment, enjoy this little history of art image.

Linn Olofsdotter and Paris.

Second post of the day. I didn't want to share more photography work just yet as I seem to have only written about that recently. So as my past post was Tony Hong, I thought I would share another illustrator who I am highly influenced by. Linn Olofsdotter is an illustrator who I have known for a year or so now and although very different to the style most people know me by, I also enjoy doing pieces of art in a very similar style to hers (for example, my year 13 final project piece: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=284331891587742&set=a.284327818254816.72250.284032954950969&type=3&theater).

I also nearly forgot to say, I am going to Paris tomorrow so won't be writing until Sunday. But photos and Paris work will be up straight after!

Tony Hong.

I am so bad at this 369 project. I forgot again yesterday. So once again, I'll do two today.

I firstly want to share with you an illustrator called Tony Hong. I came across him only a few months ago but I love his style so much as it is so similar to mine and really good to look at and get inspiration. One of my favourites of his is a piece that (I think) is called 'Free and Ready For Flight' (below).

Take a look at the rest of his stuff, it's really interesting. Alex. xxx

Good evening!

Today has been so nice. For the first time in a while, I did nothing all day and didn't feel guilty because I didn't actually have anything to do. So nice having days like that, however rare they may be.

Today I wanted to show you my last (for a while anyway) post from Fashion Copious. It's 'A Sight for Sore Eyes' taken of model Olivia Pires by Stian Foss for the Personae Magazine Winter 2011. I love the really dark, dreary colours mixed with lighting that just sets the images off perfectly. Another set of images I wish I had taken!

Chanel.

After being a gymnast myself for about 12/13 years, when I came across these images I just got so excited, I had to share them with you all. It is the Chanel SS 2012 Campaign taken of Saskia de Brauw and Joan Smalls by Karl Lagerfeld. I also love black and white photography so this just made me love these images even more!

Hope you like them too! Alex. xxx

Body Language.

Second post of the day (explained why in post below), and take a wild guess what it is! Yup, another Fashion Copious link! This set of images is called 'Body Language' taken of Anouck Lepère by Bharat Sikka for Vogue India Beauty January 2012. I really love the colours of these photos and how they look so cold from not only the editing, but the model's cold stare. I also love her make up, will definitely be trying this out on myself soon!

Wildfox and Ransom Notes.

I did it again. I didn't post yesterday, but I do have a reason! Virgin was being stupid yesterday so my internet wasn't allowing me to sign into anything and therefore not letting write a post.

So today. Today has been such a shitty day. Found out some not-so-cool news which made me very sad, therefore I won't write much as I'm not really in the mood and I am very sorry for that. But today I want to show 2 things (although it will end up being three due to not being able to post yesterday's so will do an extra one today). Firstly I just wanted to share my friend, Jess Redman's tumblr with you. I just love it so so much. She has such similar likes to me, for example bums, the female figure and sexy couple photos, which just makes me love it. Also I am very excited as she has applied for Falmouth Uni to do illustration which is what I also have applied for so would be very cool if we ended up both going as after quitting gym (where we know each other from) I haven't seen her in SUCH a long time!

The second thing I want to show you was a little website I found of Stumble a while back. It's not that interesting but it's really good if you're doing a sketchbook page for art and either can't be bothered to draw out your own or just fancy something different. But basically, it is a 'Ransom Note Generator', which I know sounds bad at first, but just type anything into the little text box, press create and et voila, you have an interesting title made up of random letters form different places. Below is an example.
