New Photos

New Photos

The orange image here is the original I edited it to see what it would look like if she were to have brown hair.

Well today Deary came round for my to photograph her =]

So many a thankings to Deary!

So here are some of the edits =]

The Gift

The First Book of Pellinor, by Alison Croggon is absolutely amazing!
I've found a new world to hide in =]

Working on new drawing

This drawing is of Sienna, the main character from my story. It will probably be the new banner on this blog too.

New Title Banner

Really fancied a change, and I like this one, plus it now says 'Photographer.Artist.Writer' Which I'm very happy about

Possible

Front cover of book design...not at all as rough as this though, but this sort of feel. I'd need a better illustration deffinately. I've decided to no long talk about my story to anyone. Incase of things in the future.

Feeding the Obsession!

I am now about 200 pages from finishing the second book! then I can start the third I was talking to Becky-face earlier and I actually bit my tounge from excitement of reading this book! Oooo I'm such a geek but I love it lol.
Can someone please invent a way to enter a book? possibly similar to Lost in Austen or...the Pagemaster? I'd be ever so delighted! and so would Deary.
The guy in this book is perfect though like actually perfect so I'd settle for someone inventing a machine to bring him out of the book lol =D
I worked out from reading that he's in his 40's and he has dark hair with flicks of sliver and the bluest blue of eyes! mmmmmmm =]
I hope things go well in the books, he'd better live or I actually think I'll stop reading or comment on the writers guestbook and be all devastated and 'whhhhyyyyyyy' =]
I'd be so distraught if he didn't live!
I might read the last few chapters of the last book haha
Right I must be off now, to read =]
As its nearly 1 and I'm hoping to get atleast 10 hours of straight reading today as mum is out at work now till 10, so I'm all alone till then.
O well loneliness brings me endless hours of beautiful reading so its not all bad. Plus the dogs are here though they are asleep its still better than nothing lol
Right anyways my ramblings of books and loneliness and dogs have now put the time past 1...so i'm going to read for deffinates now =D

EXCITEMENT!!!

I've fallen in love with a fictional character

My obsession for reading has reached new levels, I've been sat all day with some quite music in the background reading my book, and I'm nearly finished it now =] only about 200 pages left then I can start the second one I'm so excited! Reading is far superior to watching anything [apart from Muppets Christmas Carol] on t.v
I'm having to type this fast while the dogs are in the garden so i can settle down again in my book and continue to fall in love with one of its characters...surprise surprise though he's actually a middle aged man...no shock there then =]

Firstly

Merry Christmas to all! I've finished University now for Christmas, and will be going back some time in January! =]

Soo here's a Christmassy photograph...its pretty stupid but me and Deary had fun!
Secondly since getting home I've been working, its a good distraction, I rather enjoy it =]I've been working on editing odd bordem images from the other day, testing what editings look good and wearing orange lipstick...its rather interesting really. For this project I narrowed my Photographers down to Floria Sigismondi, Izima Kaoru (who I love and is my favourite by far!) and Dave McKean. I've chosen to look at Dave McKean instead of Izima Kaoru because i've already done work in the style of his. Soooo here's one of my new and somewhat crappy edits.

Addition

It's Official!

Its the run up to Christmas now.

Peacock...Not Tiger

Instead of doing a Tiger photoshoot which I might do tomorrow or Wednesday as I have no University until Thursday afternoon. I'm up early tomorrow scavenging for some ear muffs in town, and then I have the entire day alone pretty much sooooo these photographs could be a possibility.

Cheetah!

Instead of creating a Tiger shot I chose to do a Cheetah as tomorrow I will be picking up makeup supplies from town for more shots

My next animal

I think the next set of animal makeup shots will be a Tiger, keeping in tune with my slight obsession! lol

Another!

Another Lion Makeup Image

Second Lion Image

There aren't that many photographs that I like from this shoot, but I'll see how many more there will be uploaded soon. I'll keep updating on this, I feel I might try and do a series of animal shots, to build up my makeup skills.

Preview Image - Lion Makeup

Here is one of the first edited images. More will follow if they are any good =]

Lion Shots

Today I've been practising with makeup techniques and due to my new obsession of 'The Lion Man' program I decided to try and get some shots with Lion styled makeup. I'll be uploading them hopefully later today.

Final Charlie Chaplin Shots

Shot by Laura Hickey

'We think too much and feel too little' - Charlie Chaplin

Charlie Chaplin

Some of the final images from the Charlie Chaplin photoshoot!

Sienna - Short Animation - Incomplete

Here's my very very short animation...

The Burdens of Being

Hopefully I'll get either the video uploaded or just some screen shots. This is the artist statement I wrote for my FMP (Final Major Project)

There are questions about both life and death that can't be answered by fact, but only by faith and hope. We all act like we are stronger than what we are, yet at the same time survive the burdens of being, with thoughts that may be fragile but, are still beautiful. The purpose of this installation is to explore the most fragile feelings and horrific moments that someone can survive and prove that even though life is the heaviest burden, it is still the greatest gift.

Tis The Season...soonish

A little bit of Christmas Spirit, I've been really organized this year and have pretty much finished all my shopping and wrapping. Not long now till the day arrives.

Another Day

Another feeling.
Feeling much better today, sleep does wonders =]

So here are two of my images from the start of the year.

I think I'm going to try and update this place with a few things while waiting to start a new project.

Nanna-Bread

Here are my final images from my first project at University.

The project was really personal and emotional for me to do but I feel the outcome was worth it.

It's a Beginning - Joe Drawing

Finally after 12 hours work I have completed my Dad's and Barbara's Christmas present.

This is my first time with a blog and I've been meaning to get one for a while now, so I've finally done it. Now I've just got to try and keep up with posting
