November 2, 2008 | Free time is A.W.E.S.O.M.E.

Yep, well I just finished uni this week. Gosh it feels so good to finally be FREE!!!!!! I am really really happy because now I can earn mulah and update this frickin website!!!

It honestly seems like ages since I’ve updated anything on the web - seriously my online happenings have been basically nil. I have just updated the splash page on elusionerie.com PLUS I just spent around 3 days fully tweaking the new layout at my tutorials section so yeah, I’ve been busy…:P Go check them out ^^ I’ve been crazy obsessed with special effects and JQUERY which I’ve absolutely fallen in love with, so yeah.

On the updatation note, I am getting really tired of this layout. I mean this layout took AGES for me to make but seriously…I need to make a new theme for this. Once I update everything else lol. I swear to god it’s soo hard updating every single one of my sites … I mean there’s my blog, then this portfolio, then my other tumblog and my tutorials blog and my writing….it can get a bit much.

But yeah. I just signed into feedburner, and it turns out people actually do use RSS. I might just be a little freaked out because I’m used to seeing lots of 0’s next to all my feeds. LOL. Yeah, I’m sad.

October 4, 2008 | Image Project marks.

75% !!!

Not bad ay…coulda been better though. xD Oh well. I enjoyed doing it. I mean its so much better than essays anyway.

SOO I recently just did an illustration of my sketch ‘A Heart Dichotomy’ a few days ago. I tried going for a graphic/sketchy look at first but I just dont have leet enough skills to pull that off atm. So here it is:

QUESTION. Would you actually wear this on a shirt!? Because over at Design by Humans, people wear the craziest shit. I submitted my sketch just for the hell of it and people actually liked the drawing. So I decided to clean up the image abit and redo it xD I still dont know if Ill submit this again to DBH…because I just dont know how thisll look on a tshirt. DBH has the best tshirt designs Ive seen online in a loonng while though. Its like art on tshirts!

You should see the other designs people wear though…the 10k winner recently?? Looks sooo bad. I honestly cant imagine people wearing half the designs on that site. I still think #3 shoulda won!!(check out the site to see what Im talking about)

Anyway. I’ll upload a good copy of the heart illustration later on. Toodles.

Mmm well I am on study break atm and I have a week off to do whatever. Okay so I should be catching up on uni essays. And I should be looking at what needs to be done…soon. But fuck that. I LOVE SLEEPING IN.

I’ve recently been obsessed with tshirt designs and browsing different sites…basically looking for awesome, creative tshirts. I think the best site I’ve come across so far is fullbleed (wow I’ve just realized you can insert popups with WP now…reminds me how much I LOVE it <3).

I’m really not digging the sites with lame Will Ferrell/political quotes, and I LOVE the metaphors/ideas on the fullbleed shirts!! Hence the reason why I bought like 180 dollars worth of shirts a few days ago (no joke…the currency conversion seriously sucks for australia right now!) I honestly can’t wait til they are finally delivered, coz I will probably order some more once I get my next paycheck XD

Anywayyyy I was messing round in Illustrator and drew this:

Yeah, the size is shitty I know. Funny story that. I ran software update on my Macbook and me being the idiot I am force quit basically every adobe program running(coz they take so friggin long to quit) and I forgot to save the .ai file. Sooo I only have a psd left…and the png image of the pig:

I was going to make this into some sort of layout but right now i really can’t be bothered anymore. I think this can join the scrapheap right over there ->

Gosh I need some motivation.
