Exams and Cubes

January 12th, 2010

SnowI haven’t blogged in a while. Not since I started college actually. Since then a lot has happened – I made some good friends, drummed in what can only be described as ‘Shakespeare in Space – The Musical’, enjoyed some hardcore studying, learned how to complete the 3×3 Rubik’s Cube, went to Prague, hung out with my Aunty Kelly (who’s leaving tomorrow), played computer games, been snowed on (left), argued ethics, bought a laptop, had an exam and rearranged my room. This post is about only about two of these things, namely my exams and my conquering of the 3×3 Rubik’s Cube.

Away With The Fairies

July 22nd, 2009

My dad helped me get a job recently. I’m quite happy about that, as my dreams of owning my own laptop have been getting dusty and need looking after. I’m designing a website for the band Muchuu. They’re a bit full of unicorns and happy-happyness, but I think they’re really good. Hannah loves them.

Dad got me the job through John Mostyn, a friend of his. John manages them and they wanted a website done before they go on Radio One, so they have something for interested people to look at.

Work and The End Of An Era

Recoil logoI’ve recently made friends with the brother of a dude I go skating with occasionally. His name’s Joe (the brother of the dude, the dude’s name is Tim) and he’s in a band called Recoil. They play metal and it’s actually pretty good.

Joe and I were messing around on the computer and I showed him some of my Photoshoppery. He was pretty impressed (and I was flattered) and asked me if I could do a logo-type thing for Recoil. Above is what I came up with. It ended up being an album covery thing, and hopefully (with the approval of Sam the guitarist) it’ll be their demo cover.

Exams!

May 2nd, 2009

No TestsI’ve finally started my GCSE exams. I just want to get them over and done with because after them I get a really long holiday. I can’t wait!

I have just finished my art exam work. I completed two sketchbooks, two sculptures and a canvas painting. The sketchbook work consisted of an artist study, some paintings, some drawings, a collection of pictures I drew in Photoshop and other such pieces. That’s hopefully enough to get me a B grade, which is only worth 40% of my final mark. The other 60% is coursework. I also have sixteen other exams to study for. Oh dear…
