DIY

Recycled some old materials and turned them into this lovely bracelet.

Lately...

I finally had the chance to scan my vacation drawings from my moleskine.

And yesterday I drew this:

Below, a few of my favourite shots in Lisbon, I love the one with the man selling paintings and I just fell in love with that writing machine!

That's all folks!

Wonderland.

Hi, I'm back alive from the first school week, which is actually really strange. The above drawing I made yesterday - "Alice's Universe". I'm really addicted with Alice in Wonderland, lately.

So, my best friend went to Norway, and I'm the saddest person on Earth today ): But I've also been doing a lot of drawing that are being directly posted to flickr.

I'm also really active on tumblr.

Back to School

After another wonderful week spent in Algarve, school is back. Just met some of my teachers today. I'll comeback to give furter news.

Sketches, Blog Day 2009

Hi, just dropping by to post some images. Yesterday I went digging out some old sketches I made in the beginning of the summer and found some interesting ones that deserve some attention from me. In the top, some boredom crap and feet study - mine's and my dad's (he was so focused playing guitar and I was so bored to watch him play...) - that I totally should finish someday. Planning to make a hand study too. In the bottom, this unfinished piece that due to my inspiration, will obviously be named as Wonderland. I'm looking forward to finish it. And Bambi that after a lot of postponing and procrastination from my side, is finally finished, ... I guess.


So, the week was FINE, but it sure looks like vacation is almost over and it's definitely not a good feeling. So today, the cellphone that I like is only 50€. JUST today. I was temped to buy it online but I'm really trying not to spend money. Was is in today, tomorrow will be out. So I'll keep hanging with my Nokia 5200 as soon as it gets broken. I'll try to earn as much money as I can - that means no magazines, no "cute pens, pencils, notebooks, whatever", no unnecessary stuff. Just some books to get rid of boredom. Oh and totally, no chocolates on school everyday - they're expensive and they make me fat. I just hope school slows me down and keeps me busy enough not to remind me of the word buy.


I almost forgot that today is blog day! Enter tthe website to find out how to join this event.
My recomendations are:

Hello Lolla - It's one of my favourite blogs - it gives me so much inspiration to draw and to photograph. Lolla's blog is almost like eating cotton candy, haha. It's written in portuguese, but you can try translating it using google, or maybe just see the wonderful pictures shes posts there.

Process Recess - James Jean's blog where he shows a his sketches and progress of important pieces. I love his art, and he is one of my favourite artists.

Just Lia - Lia's blog is just inspiring. She never gets tired of posting and she does it in a balanced way since she talks about her life and also about music, design, movies and everything you can imagine.

Sushi Cat - I discovered Sushi Cat some weeks ago and I fell in love with it. It's an amazing blog if you like Japan and all things cute. She posts Magazines Scans, which are ideal if you're looking for inspiration.

Squeezie - My last choice goes for Squeezie, a blog that I'm still not familiar about, but it looks great to me. I'm looking foward to read more posts.

Well, it's all.

So, Canon.

After years trying to convince my dad to buy those super-amazing cameras that photographers use. He promised me that he would buy it for Christmas, but friday afternoon he appeared home with it. Our baby is a Canon EOS 500D! I love it. We already bought some supplies for it... And well, since I attract problems, I'm gonna try to stay as far as I can from the camera. It was and expensive toy and I don't want it to get broken in the first month.



I already took some photos, but I still haven't got the time to try it properly, so this photos are terrible, since they're inside home and the lightning sucks. Maybe next week I'll give it a try somewhere near my house and shoot with adequate light.



So, I'm doing fine. The weekend is being wonderful, but it's a bit too hot. I don't like heat at all. Also, my school books arrived yesterday... They're pretty and very small actually. That's great since this year I'll have to work much more then last year 'cause my classmates lost some classes, and so did I, since school finished earlier for some of us. I hope I get great grades right in the first term, and that I can achieve my goal of having 5's at all the subjects, but I don't think I'll get it since I'm not that good at Physical Education. But maybe I'll get a 5 at History and Science.

Cheers.
