Wallace Joyce Scholarship Exhibition will now be in two places, relocated. Things popped up with the rentals of the Mckay Art Centre....

McKay Art Centre, 197 Main St., Unionville, Ontario.
Sept 30-Oct 5, 2009.

Varley Art Gallery, 216 Main St. Unionville, Ontario.
Oct 5-Oct 11, 2009.

No admission fee
Many of my works will be there. Visit if you're interested!

I hope whoever reads this won't find and blow up the gallery or something, and I'm sorry there aren't any other people in this exhibition. But if you're interested, then pop by for a bit? Bring a friend or two and make fun of my artwork, I won't be there. There will be refreshments.

Thanks. Cheers! x

Sigh.

Fresh new journal entry for a fresh new school year and a fresh new phase.

Just don't have the effort/need for uploading art these days. Screw that... I'm enjoying my 'hiatus', although I may very well occasionally paint something small or doodle a bit, which I guess is my own definition of a 'hiatus'. I've also deleted around half my gallery, it's quite liberating.

But thank you for stopping by, the comments and watches. Srsly. And I'm sorry I'm such a lurker that doesn't take time to cmnt.

I miss some of my good friends, most of whom I haven't seen in 2-5 years. Shame.

I got a blood test today. It was terrifying.

I think I have ADHD.

Bad things first: I'd like to complain that my shittiest painting got in the yearbook somehow. I actually did not put effort into that piece of shit, and I know I was going to get below 90% in it (high standards lol) and would look HIDEOUS in the end so I hid it in the back of the painting storage all the time while I was "working" on it during school. BUT somehow it slipped through. How unfortunate. I'm so pissed. But oh well. I painted over it anyway. Which I will upload here soon...


This is all that my exhausted brain can think of at this time:

Yesterday was Arts York grad. It still hasn't hit me that high school is over yet, although I did shed a few secret almost-tears over the thought of leaving everybody, especially my used-to-be-best friend in music. We're not as close as we were before but we are going to keep in touch (I was writing in her yearbook in the car and almost started bawling)! I don't think I've ever felt a deep emotional connection to the school like I did for elementary school, so I assumed I wouldn't cry or anything like that, but I guess four years can do a lot to you. Random, but that night I hadn't eaten since 2 pm.

I want to congratulate everyone who has stuck with the program for four whole years, I'll miss each and every single one of them. Everyone is so super talented in their own way and I am definitely not worthy to be in their presence, haha. I want to give cards and gifts to my art teachers since they've helped in unexplainable ways, I don't know how else I can express it. They're all wonderful as artists and people. CHEESY!

Sheryl's speech for the Visuals was incredible and so...perfect. I loved how it was so lighthearted and funny yet meaningful and still had all the basic things you are supposed to say in speeches. And the remark about Dennis. Priceless. Everyone exploded with laughter. Jacob's speech for the Drama kids was so endearing, I never got a chance to congratulate him. I hope I meet him again. He was literally crying/sobbing through his whole speech, it was amazing. Everyone in the audience including me was pretty much absolutely BAWLING along with him. omg.



Today Ms Chelin called me humble. I think it's really more along the lines of self-degrading lol. Some of my friends from across the room demanded me to yell "my art is good" ahahaa. I settled for "my art is improving!" which it is. It really is.
(Although my last project was all watercoloured in one day-- lunch period and skipped second and then art class! Embarassing!)

I didn't get the Sincarsin scholarship, but I got chosen for a better? one- the Varley Art Gallery scholarship. I was shocked, stunned and dumbfounded. I get a bit less money from it than the other ones...but I get to have a solo art show with 8-10 pieces in it! Everyone wants to go see it now haha. We'll see what turns out... I just keep thinking about the amazing friends and classmates that pulled me through and I want to start bawling heheh. I'm also still jealous of them. And I'm almost questioning my Illustration major (Sometimes I wonder why) as my fine 'art' gets into the gallery.
huh...

Calm down,
enjoy life
take it lightly!


Four years went by fast and slow at the same time. But I've actually learned things for myself, aside from the fact that procrastinating is not a good chronic habit to have. Man, I sound like an old hag

The thing is this- and I'm sure it will sound lame and nothing short of delirious as it's a Monday and my 4 am sleeping habits are usually cut off by a wake at 6 am drastically at this time. But things will not work out exactly how you'd wanted them to. You won't always grow to be amazing. You won't always be happy with yourself at the end of it all. You will remain in a dark cave with everything you do and there is nothing that can be done all over again because you missed out on opportunities that could have made you better as a person and a picture-image-idea-maker. Yet you will still have the ability and the constant need to improve and enjoy the things that you alone have done, and hope to be loved for it. That in itself is something to be content with. It's only the beginning.

Man, that was cheesy-fest. Also, damn, I wrote the lamest grad-blurb in the yearbook.
Whatevs.

Maybe soon I'll upload a painting or two. Something that actually took some time to make, that I don't want to douse with gasoline and burn in a fire. And not those crappy school painting assignments from last semester. Why, oh why.

I love Hel-looks, Lookbook, and Stockholm Style.

Cheers.
