Wray talent motherfuckerrrr

This is an 'unfinished' (but I have to post it)

GCSE art final piece, 

from St.Patricks High School, same town I'm from.

So I know her through my friends 

and I knew she painted but I never seen her work 

until recently and fuck me, her oil painting blew me away.

Probably the one of the best painters I've seen here definitely,

and even more so that she's just eighteen which is crazy. 

You can tell she's passionate about it too, 

which is rarer even more so. Alright.

Good painting.

P.s a level final piece* not gcse 

First real print job!

Ulster wildlife Booklet I (we) did, came in today.

2000 copies. A day before the launch.

Looks great. David Attenborough is a little pixelated and also at one point me, Christine and Tim nearly ripped each others throats out, but it's finished now. Go team!

I'll take a better photo tomorrow.

Which I am excited for like. The launch for the new brand is

happening tomorrow night at the Titanic Centre, Belfast 

and were having dinner there and they are going to show the film our 

company made on the cinema screen along with the animation I created.

I have no delusions this time, I am very lucky.

And all of us from work are going to go and get wasted!

how boring

Prior Sleep

  

"This is about that moment when you're in bed, just prior sleep,

 and suddenly you begin to think about how vast and ridiculously big the universe is.

 You probably then end up dreaming about having a brew and going to your mams."

From my (internet) friend in Manchester.

Seen this years ago and
it always had an lasting impression on me.
You know those pieces?

I do Listen

Why is it called that, don't ask me. It should be called 'stupid talk' or something like 'the collection of bad grammer.'

Hey first oil painting

I look at oils all the time, but never really thought about them until I studied The Last Duchess and read the Picture of Dorian Gray even and then I got really fascinated with them.

Its completely different from acrylics and what have you, mainly because they're so expensive. It actually took me months to afford all the colours one at a time seriously.

But no really it's that they are really slow. It takes literally days for a layer to dry. Its good though, the theory is the same as digital painting but oils are just better in every way apart from those things, they're fun to use. Anyone will tell you that.

It's even worse in person.

The Definition of Desperation

The fear of having nothing
that makes you appreciate everything
that you have or don't have.

immense.)

'Cruse' is a bereavement counselling group for young people

which journeyfor help out with.

So we went on a residential with them!

in Omagh.

Truly up there as one of the best days ever 

today.

Monsters!

 Its a loose project at the minute so I can upload some concepts. This is work around the project if you know what I mean. Did them yesterday and today.

That's my voice slowed down 300 times

Hiatus over

Back doing dodgy paintings, (to my boss' dismay) after pretty much eight months.
You think with your eyes, so you are easy to fool. Is what jackie chan says.

When I do these I keep images of the process , you know the different stages. When you look back, its amazing when you notice how blind you were. It's crazy sometimes. Especially when its so obvious, you have to laugh at how bad it was. Then you look forward again and you have no idea where your going with it. It's still bad I'm sure, but I can't see it.

It's one about Belfast, I'm the first person on it.

Telling you a fact about the Europe Hotel.

Our new intern

Meet Mr Plankton, from the Ulster Wildlife Animation.

He got tired of being in the computer all day,
so we let him out
and it turns out he's pretty good at graphic design.
Although we'll probably eat him before
the end of the week.

I made this today, mainly because my boss wasn't here, sorry Tim.

The Robbie and me in sesh'

No adobe CS7

In other words, you can't buy stand alones anymore, just the one whole online package with sub 'apps'. 

Its a massive crack down on pirate copies. Which is really bad in a way because it makes it so much less accesible. I don't remember being able to afford £50 a month when I was twelve. 

And it's fair to say, I wouldn't have even started at all if I didn't have a pirate copy to mess about on which I may or may not  have had. And actually that may or may not be the case with every creative I know. Anyway, time will tell.

Nah I don't really care about that lets be honest. I'm just grumpy because I'll have to learn something over again and various other reasons.

We bring in far more than we receive

The Arts Council will respond to Maria Miller's demand that it "hammers home the value of culture in in our economy" by revealing that it contributes more to Britain's GDP than it receives in subsidy. A report claims that for every £1 provided, the arts returns is £7.

Thought it was more.
