Summer holidays are almost finished and I'm coming to the realisation I have achieved close to none of my ambitious plans, read lots of blogs about people's crazy lives a.k.a read almost the entire archive of crumpets (as apposed to books, which was part of said plan of self-improvement/life enrichment) and have eaten half a block of chocolate today. Time to wallow in self pity! yaaaaay. Here are some of the things I have occupied my days with in the past week or so:
Another line drawing
Photo from New Zealand early last year. Been going through my photos from this trip a lot lately trying to think of some art projects for school... 
Rubin's Vase
The physicality of negative space, optical illusions, our space in relation to things, all that hippie crap.
Found a nice shirt at 1ina100.com. Dodgy screenshot but it's a classic old painting with geometric lines which makes it right up my alley, so to speak. In constant need t-shirts because I suck at summer and need to figure out ways to dress more appropriately for humidity as to not drown myself in my own sweat when I walk outside, or when I flail about in house for that matter... #brisbaneweather
Saw Matisse exhibition at GOMA
In seeing his work, particularly his illustrations for books and poetry and later colour works I really think he was a great graphic designer and had a very modern take on art making in a minimalistic, aesthetically strong way. In any case I found the collection of drawings and sketches quite inspiring. There was also some other really interesting stuff at the gallery but I think I'll need to go back sometime to soak it in properly (you can't rush gallery trips- sister does not understand this.)
Anyway, adios until next time, which may not be for a while considering things are going to get stressy at school soon i.e. must restrict self from internet based procrastination.
