I am officially entirely finished my NCAD portfolio. Now if only I didn’t have my Leaving Cert mocks tomorrow…
This is an exercise I use whenever I want to start complaining about something arbitrary: I imagine a world in which there is a feature length movie version of Salinger’s Franny and Zooey starring, well, take your pick of actresses typically cast as the manic pixie dream girl, and actors typically cast as broody smokey jaded dude. When I stop imagining such a world, I awaken to a reality in which such a thing does not yet exist and breathe a sigh of relief.
Some of the things defendants were forced into saying at Stalin’s Show Trials are farcical.
“The question has been raised whether we were tortured while being investigated. I have to say that it was not I who was tortured, but it was I who tortured the investigators and made them do a lot of useless work”.
If the government really wanted to keep newspaper sales up they would allow a law to passed that allowed murderer’s to be pardoned on the grounds their murder was “fairly funny”. Newspaper sales would rocket as they reported the “wacky” and “zany” ways psychopaths and hardened criminals had murdered people this week.
As part of my portfolio (yes I know it’s all I talk about but the truth is it’s all I do) I needed to draw a bottle under different conditions. I instantly thought of melted glass. Considering one of the biggest names in glass manufacturing (Waterford Crystal) resides close to me I decided to drop in and see if they could do anything for me.
I decided I’d try to be productive while being on facebook. I ended up drawing thumbnails sketches of 63 my friends on Facebooks profile pictures. If I’m friends with you on Facebook there is a 22.9090909 percent chance I just drew you.
