Dreamcatcher

First Interpretive assignment of the year... mostly, Interpretive will just be a thesis thing, but this one was a (vague) assignment, about the topic of Good & Bad. So I decided to play with the idea of good and bad dreams, and a dreamcatcher, which is meant to trap nightmares and allow only good dreams through.

Postcards from Trafalgar

First finished assignment of the year! A thing for narrative class, where we took a trip and then somehow retold it in a series of 3 postcards. Mine was a walk down Trafalgar road.

This thing was a major experiment, and my feelings about it are mixed, to say the least. Overall I think it tips slightly in the direction of not quite working, but isn't a total failure. So that's something.

Also, on the off chance anybody reads this blog who doesn't actually know me (not likely...) the girl on the cards is me. Haven't done a self-portrait in ages...

I got nothin'.

So I was looking through Dani's sketchbook and was inspired and uh...



Yeah, I don't know either.

Queen of Roses

So, uh, that whole weekly challenge went down in flames, didn't it? Since then, it's just been happy children and animals for Junior Jetsetters all day, every day - and it still is, more or less, but now I'm back to school! A couple of small things...


Painted this with my (AWESOME) new portable watercolour set at a friends' cottage. (I had a portable watercolour set before, but this one is far superior. It has a mixing tray! Sponges! Eeee.) One of my friends' young cousins dubbed this the Queen of Roses, and it's as good a title than any, I suppose. Mostly, it embodies the need to draw something uncute. Like seriously. I am going to break out in unicorns any day now. It may be contagious.


And this is even less meaningful. Doodled today between classes, with pencil, ballpoint pen, and a bit of black watercolour. Some colour slapped on in Photoshop to see how it would look, and I approve. It's nice, I think. I mean, for a doodle.

Since I can't show any of my Jetsetters work until the books are published, and time for personal work is still rare, hopefully I'll have some schoolwork to slap up here soon enough. Time shall tell.
