Rah! It's an Ambush!

Thursday night was a great night. Thanks to Qwux and the Rah collective kids for helping create a great book and hosting a fun night (Well thanks to Ambush for that!)

Heaps of the kids came out to support the locals and reppin' the Wood was Chris Yee and his baller as always work.

Rah! Book Launch

Today I received a very cool book. It's my first published work alongside many other artists. If you're interested in copping one, come to the launch party this 18th of August! I'm so jealous Chris Yee is on the poster! He has a double page spread and is featured in the exhibition on the night!

Here's a little sneak peek/teaser :)

Only The Best

The last two days have been long and tiring.

Wednesday I visited the Anna Leibovitz exhibition on at MCA. A lot of amazing work from a worldwide famous photographer who I never knew, (Who I should) We ate lunch at Wynyard before trekking to Grace's rooftop where water fights and Jungle Speed ensued. I napped for a bit then ate at Mamak for the first time! I've been suppose to go there so many times with Hui but about 3 or 4 times that we went to go, they were closed! It was definitely a different taste to the usual meal in the Chinatown area and I would definitely like to try their other plates. I go the Nasi Lemak which is like a traditional Malaysian meal consisting of coconut rice and anchovy sides, hard boiled egg and satay sauce with a bunch of other small things. It was quite nice but I would've liked to try the roti's but for some reason I didn't.

After that Grace and I went to the Manning Bar where we watched 'Girls' with Lukas Godbout (thanks for the hookup!) they were alright but after the first few songs it was quite repetitive. Definitely had fun though :)

Thursday I spent my lucky time with the Mitch and William and the latest Feather member! New member or not she's awesome and I've being hanging with her over the last few months :) Sujin is by far one of the coolest girls I've met. She drove us around whilst we delivered mail to houses. It was an relentlessly humid day making it quite a bad day to hand out flyers and walk for miles but with good company anything can be achieved.

I also missed out on 'Washed Out'! Quite sad but watching Girls the day before is good enough. Hoping to sell my Fixie soon so I can buy that iPad. Yes, you heard me right, Sky-blade is going to be sold. We've had some ups and downs over the last 2 years but you've always been by me. Some of my best memories were with you. My passion for bikes has not died for I still have my BMX and Town bicycle who will both get thrashings this month hopefully. I'll dedicate a post to you Sky-Blade when you do depart :( I have not given up on fixies. My next bike is going to be called 'Dusk'

Every second she's not here I'm thinking of and missing her.

No Camera. Sucks.

Having no camera really sucks. I do have a camera but it's a webcam... and I do shoot film, but I'm lazy to develop and scan. I feel bad rambling on without a photo, because the original basis of this blog was to be a photoblog. I've been faithful to it recently but it's really killing me not being able to do so.

I've been to CarriageWorks over in Redfern a few times over the last week and it's amazing. If you do not know about the COFA degree show then you are missing out. I went on Monday and was blown away by it. Taking my mum on Wednesday to the Digital Media night. I can't wait to see the works properly and spend more time on the ones I whizzed through on Monday. Planning to get a little loose also, found all these random drink vouchers, so I'm definitely going to abuse it :)

I nearly bought a 80-200mm today but got outbided, so whatever. Definitely buying a 35mm f2.0 at the end of the week. I can't stand the 50mm anymore! It's a major kit lens and what not but I personally feel that it's so tight and most of the time when I'm shooting for the blog there's no time to compose and frame. The 17-35 is just a little too (Just a little) large to lug around. The best thing about buying primes is the joy and the relighting of my passion of photography.

Some small things and points achieved today, chilled with mother, ate beef rendang, cleaned the mx-5 and visited David Lee and had a Blueberry Fanta/Monaco Bar. Great day to drive topless :giggles:

Anyway here's a photo from Monday night. Grace's flowery headpiece made me nearly as cute as her blushy smile :) 

Followed by drunken photobooth sessions after Sujin dropped me home...

First Exhibition

This was about 1/4 of the crowd, 15 minutes later it was poppin'

Thanks to everyone that came, definitely made me feel like actually rekindling my love for Art. Never felt better.

Blood Stained Hands

My hands are stained. Stained by the artefact that controlled my life. Magic fucking 8-Ball. Cursed by it's foretellings I think I've broken the spell.

"Am I able to live longer now?"





Cya mate. Grace gave me the courage to face my fears and battle the said menacing monster. It took several blows but in the end I hold it's heart and soul within my hands. The blue and black blood stains my carpet and my hands. Unable to wash the filth but worth the sacrifice.

Tomorrow is the opening for CMYK Yourself. Be there!

Into The Fog

Fairly productive day. 6/10 on the productivity scale. (0 = Sleep, eat nothing else, 10 = Building the empire state building model and finishing 3 essays)


Today I saw the completion of my sister's donut pillow. It's mega win and it's tops. Worthy of being sold/reproduced. It's way better than Kidrobot's donut.

I spent the day drawing something for kimi. Did a bit of photoshop painting but didn't turn out too well (I really suck at photoshop)

B&W & Coloured.

  

Then william came over to give me 1500 photos to help process which was fun then I spent a while showing off my newly organised music library. I spent 2 hours removing about 4000-5000 songs I didn't need/hated. Good cull.


He gave me some sick music and movies. "Nosaj Thing" is what I'm currently playing and it's fvcken awesome. Progressive Electronica :3

Tomorrow I'm planning to visit Beastman & Kid Zoom
