Hey all

It would be great if as many of you as possible would respondez... Even skim-reading will suffice if you are extra busy or whatever.

A lot of stuff has been on my mind over the last year or so... And its been a long time since I've done anything seriously arty. It's beginning to drag on me.

What I need is some feedback and inspiration.

Something like... you're favourite piece in my entire gallery, or your favourite piece in a few different medias from my gallery (ie. pencil sketch/trad art, photograph, photo manip, poem/lyric[?]...) and the reasons why you like it... whatever I've done that you like... etc.

Or just some general critiquing/commenting on my work.

So a bit of a browse through my gallery would be also appreciated when you can.

Not entirely sure what I'm looking for... Just a little push in a right direction. Or something to that effect...

It's extra hard to be constructive in winter. And I swear my desk hasn't been tidy since Year 12... Oh well... they're all excuses, I say.

I've had a few good ideas. It's just the motivation isn't there ... It makes me sad :( There's a lot lost in this... Especially as these days I do have a couple of days to myself, and I spend them doing stupid, pointless, non-constructive things... gaargh! Ok, enough of that.

All help appreciated much :)
Cheers all
Marylou :crazy:

oh, and i'd like to thank a few people for doing a bit for me... the encouragement and stuff...

I like Le Moulin D'Angibault, the composition is good, and the contrast of the shapes, the curved and the straight.

If you want to get together one of those empty days, take our cameras, head into the city and grab some photos, I'm more than happy to.

I'd like to go back to France with my own digicam, now I have one... it will happen one day..

and sydney is a pretty good place, just gotta know where to go to find some interesting stuff... back roads and stuff, not all the normal things people usually take pics of! but at the same time... architecture in general, especially here, doesn't do all that much for me!

the 3 best pics from a city excursion are the opera house underside (different angle, wouldn't know what the building was and all), the pic of st mary's with the tree in front of it (but other people at school took similar photos, dammit!) and a pic looking up at a tree (simlar angle, if i thinka bout it, to the opera house pic, funnily enough) that i don't think i've uploaded... but OLD pics! >_< they are pics that work well together in a sequence.

thanks for the prompt comment, paul!

ah, it has been a very long time! and hi back :wave:
Links make themselves =P
Thanks a lot! I enjoyed the HSC work... but it never turned out anything like i'd planned in the beginning. (i forgot I owed you an explanation on that one! maybe one day... lol) I always get really lazy when it comes to paints tho... its so much of an effort to get started. But, again, maybe one day... when my room is tidy enough :|
Songwriting has been happening more than anything else over the last 6 months... Kate and I had a few good jams in Feb, but since then she's been very busy with uni... Hopefully as she's on break atm we will have time to have one or two! But yeah... its a very slow process with the two of us...

See you on msn sometime? I haven't been on the net at home for ages it feels...
:hug:

wow DA has got clever! xD I do find paints end up rahter different from the picture inside my head :P But definatly looking forward to seeing you painting again, especially if it is to the standard of your HSA work! Looking forward to hearing(seeing :P) the explaination for that piece too..are you recording any of your tracks? I find i write songs, dont record them, forget them and can never play them again :D But im just useless lol!
Do you have my new msn? Even if you do its on my main page, or right here: davidbowring@gmail.com xD
See you later, nice to know people are still alive, active and posting! :D

gaaarrgh! last night i wrote a long reply to you, and DA ate it cuz it went into read-only mode while i was writing it :sniff:

I basically said stuff like this:

I have to clean my room before I can do anything, really, cuz atm i have a buried desk, and it will be harder still to create a floorspace where I could paint (esp. a relatively sizeable canves... that is, relative to the smallness of my room :P) But yes.. it could happen ;)

Yes we have been recording using Garageband (as we're both mac users when we're at home). Sound quality isn't perfect, and Kate has a neighbour who works/ed? for a studio who she's been borrowing a Midi from.. but most of our songs contain content that we'd not want him to hear, otherwise i'm sure we'd organise a recording date with him..

I find the problem I have these days is that I will play something, record it, and not write it down, so there are things I have on my comp atm that I can't remember how to play!

>_> hrm... not so active, perhaps... and yeah :) i added you... you've probly seen already. Hope you have a productive holiday break!
