"mister, can we have our ball back?"


spanish oral question writing is getting me down at the moment - in fact, espanol me molesta! (that's "spanish is irritating me" to you non-spanish speaking folks) - so i thought i'd update y'all on my arty goings on (:
i feel like a always promise to post my art stuff, & then never follow through! tch, what a bad blogger i am *slaps own wrist*
the title for my art exam is windows & doorways. now, i'm not really sure where to go with this project as i think it is quite open-ended, so currently i've just been doing technique experiments & trying to find inspiration.
inspiration came to me last week, as it often does, in the form of a beatles song. i was listening to a hard day's night when i remembered a scene from their film of the same name where they had their faces squished up against a train window.
never let it be said that the boys are not attractive.
last friday, i got together some of my friends for a "photo shoot" type thing at our school & took some photos that were more or less copies of this picture. i would post all of them, but i don't want to offend anyone by putting their squashed face on the internet - especially as barely any of them knows about this blog - however, i will put my own photo up.
extremely attractive, i think you'll agree.
it was such a good, funny experience, we all spent far too much time laughing - especially the boys, as i wanted them to try & recreate the same expressions as the beatles, which led to much hilarity i can assure you!
this is the edited version of the above photo, i put it into grayscale and then i found a filter which made it look like an antique film strip - which i love!

  1. Wow, I actually love this idea, your photo looks great! Is this for As level art? I've just got my As exam title which is 'Rhythms and Cycles' I was just wondering if you have the same one? x

  3. You have to ask those for the boy's permission to put that photo up. I'd love to see them compared!
