I took a ride through a city called fuck, and smashed through your dreams

Sick of sickness, sick of mistakes, sick of regrets.

I leave Australia for my around the world voyage in just over 2 months now. Leaving will signify a lot of things for me, it will end and begin a lot of things. Either way, Im definetly needing the time away, i need to find myself and make up for past errors.

Honestly, Please Release Me

I am exhausted, angry, furious and filled with rage. I want to escape this prison i have been confined to for the last 13 years of my life. A month from now I will finally reach the light at the end of that tunnel.

Works great even on blood stains

Last night i watched for the first time FightClub. Edward Norton alongside Brad Pitt play two characters who begin a fightclub in order to somewhat release their emotions? The film has some good twists towards the end which really sealed it as a good film for me, it was definetly not what i had expected upon purchasing it.

I also really enjoyed it as it reminded me of my good friend Frank pictured below:

Looking

When did this blog become about art?

I stood there last night, at 1am with the warm yet chilling breeze gliding over my kneck. As i glanced at the moon and then looked over frankston i began to wonder what was going to happen to me? where was i heading? I wonder how things will be one year from now, its exciting yet scary, as one year from now isnt too far away.

Art Bang Part II (2)

Todays weather was nice, so despite being upset and angry with last nights performance, and instead of studying, i decided to set up my paints and paint in the sunshine which filtered my backyard. Although i had my usually annoying mother buzzing around like the wasps that have inhibited my friend maxines backayrd, the scene was set to get all creative etc...

These photos are a continuation from the post titled 'That is not fucking art is it?'. Although i spent most of the day outside working, i actually watched the paint dry more than applied it. However this is what i achieved.

I sat there with the roasting sun on my back as i listened to Ian's permanence playing in the background and wondered wether to keep going with my painting, however with the thought of mondays week long media sac for my year 12 class, i decided that i should packup and continue another day...(to be continued)

Thats Not Fucking Art Is It?

So Today i started this little collaborative series artworks(consisting of two), titled THATS NOT ART IS IT? The reason behind these pieces (other than my year 12 studio art class) is to provide the public (mainly directed at people of a similiar age to me, 18) with something that provokes and questions their little minds with what they think art is.
The Beginning:

Synthetic Polymer on Chip Board yo!

Hopefully Ill have some progress shots along the way.

Good Weekend

This weekend, although not outrageously different or unusual, is still pleasing me (monday afternoon). Friday night I saw friends, drank scotch and went out into mornington for a total of 1 hour, this did not upset me at all. Saturday was spent wondering about in the morning until we decided it would be a good idea to go to southland. After an hour oh general pants, bad haircuts, adidas tracksuits etc..we decided to drive home, picking up a Mcdonalds coffee on the way as they oh so sweet. Early saturday night Elli, Luke, Maxine and I caught a train to hawthorne where we met up with Lily, Selma and Karina at their apartment. Here we drank and listened to music, soaking up the joy of being free of the 'frenemies'. After a few hours we headed out to The Hawthorne club, however our attendance was short lived as Lily, the birthday girl, was refused entry upon arrival for being too drunk, funny. We then caught a taxi to The Arcadia, which we spent the rest of the night in. All in all, I had fun, hanging with good people is always a treat.
