I'm too cold to sleep.


I'm really wrecked, but I can't sleep when I'm so cold...boohoo-hoo! So I've decided to visit my dear bloggy. I only have a very odd, random range of work to scan in as my scanner is so sad that I got work scanned in at Reads (3.50 per A3 sheet, the robbing bastards) and once that's all up, I'll have to start repeating myself...


This work was for representational illustration and it nearly broke me because we had to be SO specific...which I hate...also my tutor kept telling me to add colouring pencil (which I also hate) to "pull out the shapes"...I also never considered spacing or placement...I just started painting.


We had to choose an organic object and I was seized by a special kind of insanity in that I decided to go with a prawn....I can't even bear a fish finger so I really don't know what I was thinking. But Pinchy changed all that...I suppose it was a type of stolkholm syndrome...I began to feel close to my captor. I also don't believe he was really dead, but that's a story for another night...
