ok

i am totally going to try and do a joint exhibition either this summer or next year. one of the artists i have in mind is http://azusachan.deviantart.com , as i think our styles are compatible. we'll see...and i'll keep you posted.

also, i saw a black rabbit nibbling the lawn at uni yesterday. as soon as i reached for my phone to snap a pic/message someone about it, it'd disappeared, presumably into bushes nearby. i couldn't find it.

alice in wonderland anyone?

good quote

‘I feel the ice of myself cracking. I feel myself loosen and flow again, reflecting the world. That is what spring means.’ p.64-David Malouf, 'An Imaginary Life'

this sums things up lately. in between nice music late night essaying and stimulating conversations with people, both new and old, I have been feeling this way; still feel drained on the long trips to and from uni, but better. Roll on summer :)

karincoma

One of the first artists that caught my eye when I was new to Deviantart was karincoma, aka Polish artist Karolina Szafran, who does striking images in mostly black and white, with a splash of colour. Although she's moved on to more cyberpunk, dark/futuristic themed work, it's her earlier, more fashion-related images I like the most:

Her characters are always drawn with a sense of elegance and grace, and her images evoke a certain feeling of lightness and airiness, with slick, clean lines and simple beauty.
