X-hib-ish-on

On Monday 29th June I had my first ever exhibition with college. I feel it was successful. I exhibited all my work from from upper 6 and one piece from lower.

Here I am stood next to part of my display. 

The exhibition took place in the brand new art building called 'Frame', at Blackpool Sixth form.

           Here is my suit case which was part of my display.                                      

It was a great evening and I hope the first of many exhibitions.                  

Blackpool Sixth Form Art Exhibition Monday 29th June.

Come down and have a look if your near.

WOW!

It has been a long time since my last post!

I have finished my A level exams today and the relief is phenomenal.

This means lots more time to fill sketch books which have been left empty, create many creative things and maybe even paint my room. The possibilities are endless.

In the time I have been gone I have started driving lessons, completes my medical science course (FINALLY), completed 9 3 hour plus exams, made a business card, which I do not yet have on picture format so cannot yet share it with you all. I also baked a cake tonight for my friends 18th birthday. Its a pretty fine lookin' cake. It has a jam and butter icing filling.

For some reason that I have not yet figured out the camera on my laptop takes photos backwards. Lauren isn't really 81 years old she is 18.

SO...

HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY LAUREN!!!

'Do you want to go to the seaside?'

I often find myself pottering about

 with a camera taking photographs of

 everything. I have also found I have been listening to an unholy amount of Fleetwood Mac, but I am not going to take loads of pictures of them. One day I pottered down 

to the beach and took some

 photographs.

This is water leaking through one

 of the tide breakers. The noise of

the water made me need a wee.

I love living by the sea and stories about the sea. I remember when I was little by dad Damian, reading a story called 'The Mouse hole cat', about a village in Cornwall (the name of which I cannot spell) s

omething like Mousa. Mouse with an /a/ at the end.

Alas I digress.

Mermaid pottery.

And some stones.

I have fo

und some interesting things on the beach. Bits of glass, pottery, trollies, bottles, hats is a popular one, dead fish, one time me and my friend Callum went down to the beach really early in the morning and found a large dead seal.

And last year a large boat carrying biscuits was washed up, 'The River Dance' was its name. It looked eire in the dark. Its gone now.

Fleetwood pier

Possibly one of the last photos of Fleetwood pier ever taken as about 3 days later it burnt down.

It is rare I venture to Fleetwood but when I do I make sure I get some evidence.

I like the structure of the, 'Once was', pier. A homeless man lived underneath this pier. I don't know where he lives now.

Pilling sands

This is almost as north as you can get as far as the Fylde beach area goes. The largest village in England, Pilling. Its only the largest because each house is about 3 miles apart and comes with 100 acres of land. Maybe an exaggeration. This over looks Pilling sands and right over Hashem docks and Cumbria. That boat is leaving Hashem to go the Isle of Mann. I love the way t

he clouds and the sky fall into each other.

I don't really paint land or seascapes but my friend Jenny can paint beautiful ones.

Manya night a couple of my friends pick me up in their car and we drive down to the beach and watch this sight. 

The sea is one of my favorite places and a great inspiration to me, even if its not the sea that I am painting.

Tooth pick person

This reads, 'It's ok. If you were drawn with a tooth pick you would look like this to.'

I had a tooth pick and some ink and very little to do. I also feel that if we were all drawn with tooth picks we would look like this little being here. 

Notebook

This is a notebook I made for a development piece. The pages are made out of coffee stained tracing paper it is bound by fabric. Each page has some thing different on it, some of it my work, some of it Jack Karuacs notes.

Art Exam...

This is my sketch book for my art exam which I finnished last week. The writing on the front reads,

 'Take me with you on the road to the sky, down the path to the end of the earth and then bring me back home again...'

This is the first page. The project is based on the book, 'On the Road'. My sketch book is laid out like a travel journal and is more of a piece then my sketch book for this project.
