So this is an edit of the place where I stayed in Rovinj! Beautiful isn't it? Anyway I'm off to Kent for the next 5 days (hence the early time of this update!) and can only dream of the kind of hot, sunny weather I'd gotten used to in Croatia :(

;) looks quite good considering the sun, clouds and sky are all edited, I think it could even look like a real photo - would you have guessed?

(ps., look again, the sun is impossibly high for the town to still be in so much darkness, and the clouds are far too low for real life! I still love the image though...)

Admitedly I didn't make any of these images, just thought they looked nice together :), I don't know, they sort of flow? Anyway, the point is they represent change, as in the seasons, the passage of time. For me this week has really put this into perspective (that word again!), I can't believe it's mid-march already....and yet that makes me want it to be summer now?

Don't mind me, just wishing my life away...

I'm now officially 17. It's not all that different from being officially 16 really, except you can imagine you're like Zac Efron from 17 Again, except this is in fact my first time of being 17. Oh well, not so similar then.

Spent the last three days in Cambridge University on a shadowing scheme, so excuse me if I'm a bit head-in-the-clouds, and yes, when I get time I will do some art with some of the photos I took around the colleges :) Happy February everyone!

I just love this. It's my current desktop background, and it just about stops me from getting completely stressed out when I look at it. Just about. I found several stunning scenic photos and blended them, using the sunset colours, and am very happy with the result, so I thought I'd share it with everybody :)

Happy New Year 2011!

Happy New Year

(albeit a day late...) New Year is always a little daunting what with all those resolutions and promises, but New Year is also a completely new leaf, a second chance, a fresh start, I love the fact that you can just forget the bad parts (but remember the good times!) of last year and look to the future!

This piece is about the start of a story, a fairytale, so perhaps could 2011 be the start of a fairytale new year for all of us, regardless of 2010.

An extremely late post :) sorry, it's been a busy day. Which is alright though as it fits the theme of this image, "dream time" as I've called it, amazing it also fits in with the fact that I randomly saw the film Inception today and so if you know what I'm talking about - it all links!

A GIMP based (originally photoshop) tutorial with vectors etc. I'll upload the final image , this took me ages >.< , it reminded me of the pier in "Elsewhere" by Gabrielle Zevin if anybody knows the story :P

In memory of Jazz, who had to be put down on Monday,

This is actually an edited photograph, the original photo was a close-up of the night sky (taken on holiday in Cyprus) with the moon being the only object in the shot, however, again using GIMP 2 I decided to make the picture a bit more interesting.

Note my obession with the "supernova" and "sparkle" effects :D

Now I'd like to show some more of the digital art I've done, this time using a programme called GIMP 2 which, like Polyvore, is free, and can be downloaded from the main GIMPTM website without any trouble.

This image was done using various "paint" and "brush" effects, I followed a tutorial on how to create perfect fluffy clouds :)
