(The light from my window ruined every picture too)
* Look at things with a different perspective - I found some text saying "new possibilities" in a magazine and initially just stuck it down on the card thinking "Yeah this'd be great because looking at your work with a different perspective does form new possibilities". Also I feel like my approach to this project has opened up new possibilities and ways of working to me so I thought it was a very appropriate thing to add to the work. The hands were a mistake.
Have a Good Time - I personally like this one because it is just so rubbish and lo-fi it makes me laugh and I think encapsulates the good time feeling! (other people I have shown this image to have just looked away in shame) With this whole project I just wanted to make art that looked bad for the sake of being bad though, I thought it would be funny! &perhaps this translates my personality a bit better than when I hold myself back from doing stupid stuff like this!
Don't take yourself too seriously - This is my favourite. I don't take myself seriously and I just wanted to do an image taking the mick out of myself (you can't see in this photo but I've accentuated my arm hair). Not taking myself too seriously has made it easy to take criticism and learn from them, as I know I'm a joke.
Plan your time - I think this image is terrifying and definitely reflects my time management skills (which are terrible, no matter how hard I try) The clocks as iris' are subtle but they look really creepy. My biggest problem with this (and the image below) are that they look like they've been done by an A-level or GCSE student, equal parts disturbing, hilarious and "oh my god why"
Experiment - I do not feel like I experiment enough, so I took this chance to do it! This (somewhat ironically) looks the absolute worst, but how would I have known that if I did not experiment to get to this horrific final image.
Have No Regrets - Another personal favourite of mine as I get to laugh at myself and my terrible life choices! This is pretty bold and up front. It perhaps shows a side which is not apparent in my college life, the disgusting side of me. Making the photos for this collage was really fun! Making all of this piece was really fun and I loved making something really terrible and chaotic.
Start with an idea - I have a habit of getting carried away with drawing and sacrificing good ideas for the sake of making a good drawing / meeting deadlines etc. So I should start with an idea. This piece was going to be a lot busier with ideas springing out everywhere but then I thought that just the simple iconography of the light bulb would communicate this better.
Keep up to date with blogging - An image depicting the consequences of NOT keeping up to date with your blogging. This is fairly self explanatory. I'm not sure how well the image and text go together but I do like the colours against the black background, I think that's pretty cool.
Take Care of Yourself - As alot of the other images have been based around soul destroying experiences I wanted to do something with a calmer feeling for some soul healing(?). I don't know how I feel about this it's not the best thing I've ever drawn. I like the differences in textures, but at the same time it makes it look kind of A-level-ey again.
DO THE THING - I hold myself back and should just do the thing. This is meant to show the indecisiveness of my brain and the constant questioning of whether I should do something. And then the answer "JUST DO IT" I like the simplicity of this image!
While absolutely none of these pieces are my best work I did really enjoy making all these. I got out of my comfort zone with this project and it was fun!
