I stopped posting new work a while ago and my gallery seemed very out of date. I am going to start posting my current works soon.
Starting with some photos I took in the London Zoo and then I will add some of my university work from the last year

Meanwhile you can see my work here

I havent posted much in a long time but just want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Brilliant New Year!!
2009's been definitely  a crazy one for me In September I started an Art Foundation course which I absolutely love! It's so intensive and the people I've met through it are so talented and great friends too : )
Hopefully 2010 will be filled with joy for all of us : )
Also, i'm going to start University in that year so its definitely going to be a new experience for me!

Have a nice one guys!


P.S. Here is a video to watch: vimeo.com/4291488

Woooop! I got my A level results today
I got the same grades as last year and in the same subjects haha
A-Graphics
B-Maths
B-ICT
C-Business Studies

I'm quite happy with myself even thought I was hoping for at least 3 A's but oh well
Thats still 400 UCAS points worth of
Good luck to everyone else!!

A little update from me:
It's the end of the college year now and its time for revising and exams.. I've got 9 proper exam papers because I'm retaking all of my maths modules (to get some extra marks ) and I also have two practical exams including graphic design and ICT.
Had my last graphics session yesterday and finally managed to finish off working on my final piece, which took a lot of patience and hard work!
I'm quite happy with how this project went and don't know if it's for the fact that I broke up with my boyfriend or I just enjoyed it more than the D&Ad one... but my work seems to have improved a lot!

I now only need to make some improvements on my coursework books before the exhibition in the beginning of June.

I know I haven't submitted much this year but I've been really busy and also haven't been able to take good photos of my work... Anyway, I still managed to scan in one of my portrait paintings about 10min ago so please enjoy!

Also, wish me luck with my exams!!

I had my interview on Wednesday (1st April) and it went amazingly well!
I was feeling reasonably confident because it was one to one and the whole atmosphere was really relaxed.. I just started showing my Graphics books and kept talking and talking about the projects and what I did in each one and why. The lady interviewing me was quite impressed and just kept saying "oh I like this!" and it just turned out we have quite similar taste, we both like stamps and old photographs, we both collect clothes tags we like and Penguin bookcovers..
Just the usual stuff really
Anyway I showed all of my recent work (from this year) and some of last year's and then she just went "I'm quite happy to offer you a place already"

I was like Just went "really???"
I didn't expect it to go so well, on the open day a week ago they said that there were a lot of applicants and that only the best will get offers. I would've never thought that I'd get accepted without doing the Art Foundation first.
Oh well, she said I'm already ahead of some of the other applicants with a Foundation and that there is no need for me to do it.
It's all good news and I'm really happy... but there's always a dilemma..
I started looking up Portsmouth on the Internet to find out information about tuition fees and stuff (believe it or not I didn't do it earlier because I didn't think I'd get in anyway.. )  and I found some very disturbing threads e.g. :  www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showt…
I don't know what do do now... I need to make a decision before the 18th and I have no idea if I should make my decision upon University reputation or other factors. You can argue that if you'r good enough it doesn't matter where you study right?

HELP!!! :S


EDIT: I made my final decision and declined the offer from Portsmouth. I am going to do the Art Foundation and then apply to Brighton next year ( and put is a first choice this time! ) I never really looked at the financial point of view until 2 days ago when I started thinking about accommodation and maintenance costs.. I really don't see why was I going to give up the opportunity to live at home and have almost no costs and be able to save up instead of going away and getting into  more than £30,000 of debt ??
I know that some people want to go away from home and be independent but I care about my future and would regret it later when I have to spend decades repaying loans that may be seen as "unnecessary".
Hopefully next year I will be well prepared for my interview in Brighton and study where I've always wanted to!
