Willies and Boobs

Today I starting sorting out my portfolio so that universities can flick through my work along with everyone else's work then roll a dice to decide if I get in. On the upside however, it gave me chance to rummage through various older drawings sketches and rubbish from this year and many years before, and gave me another chance to see what I had to offer.

I've never really done much drawing before, never mind life drawing, but I really enjoyed drawing the naked people in various poses, even if it did get beyond tedious at the end. Rumor has it that life drawing is a dying subject and that most Art schools don't do it anymore, which is a shame. Everyone should have a chance to experience it, if you don't enjoy looking at a naked person for about an hour solid, you can at least amuse yourself by watching your neighbor draw everything in immaculate detail then tentatively avoid drawing a cock and balls. It's surprising how many peoples works show a very flabby man with a nice gap between his legs with an undisclosed phenomenon there.

Anyway, I doubt anyone reads that rubbish, on to the pictures.

AND WHAT A GOOD YEAR IT WAS

Hello there, right now i am sat in a room filled with artistés, there is a videographer to my left, a performance artist on the floor and, well, i don't quite know how to explain the lad in the seat. 2009 was a good year, i enjoyed it, it was positive, rekindled a love for painting and left me with a rather lovely bicycle. i want to wish anyone that can be arsed to read this a good new year, although we are all aware that new years day could be any day, it could be any time, but us humans just kind of decided that it was today (well yesterday, but fuck off) and now we should turn a new leaf.

new years resolutions i hear you say, what should we all do, how should we all try and benefit our lives. well, we are all aware that new years resolutions just make us gutted in a years time when we realize we are pretty poor at life and have failed, so most people would tell you not to go with them. i however would like to propose that everyones new years resolution should be to listen to yourself. over the past year i have realized that it is a lot easier to attempt to be creative and original when you listen to the childish voice that is normaly silenced in the back of your head for fear of being immature. go with your gut, listen to yourself, do what you want and express yourself, its what stops keeping life from being pointless so have an average new year everybody!
