A bunch of ghey art pieces that I made. Hee.

Hi smexy readers! For some reason my Y key is malfunctioning so prepare for some mortifying typos!

Today I am selling some clothes on Facebook. Most of them are less than a few months old, but as some of you may have noticed my look has been changing frequently and drastically lately so any outgrown looks are up for sale at super cheap prices. Of course, I'm Anna Bites so everything on sale is amazing and more than half of it was snapped up within 45 minutes. Have a look anyways if you haven't already. HERE. Hot chicas who are helping a spoiled rich girl earn an honest pay on this lovely cloudy day are Shakira, Kami and Cindy!

So this week I am loving thin, distressed fabrics, zippers, floral designs and grungey prints. I am also loving super glue, because it is the best friend ANYONE can ever have when it comes to anything fashion and/or art related. Also DIY related, hee.

However, I am the sort of person Krazy Glue tries to warn with printing "point nozzle away from face and squeeze tube" on its labels because just yesterday I put my eye right to the nozzle hole and squeezed to see if anything would come out. I am definitely someone who, left alone with a tube of super glue for a sufficient amount of time (5-10 minutes), can and will glue my toe to my eyeball. Also, a week ago, I poked myself in the eye with a curling iron... While it was on. No kidding.

Anyway, I am very proud of myself lately on account of I have been handing in my assignments on time and not only that but each assignment was completed to my full satisfaction -- No half ass shit going on here! It does have its downsides; today we were given a very time-consuming assignment to complete within the week, to make two A1 sized pop-art-inspired pieces of our own faces. We could use any media we pleased, so I chose to make a collage but after almost an hour of cutting out tiny pieces just to make one A4 size picture, I gave up and decided to go all out grunge and just spray paint through some stencils.

People should really stop underestimating artists and our lifestyle. We really don't sit around smoking pot all day and piling dead skin flakes and nail clippings together and labeling it art. I don't condone that sort of behaviour at all! I don't believe in stupid shit like that. Lots of people think being an artist involves being fabulous and European... It doesn't. The artistic lifestyle is always tiring, often tragic and rarely involves smoking a long cigarette and being French. In fact, unless you've had your soul crushed by a legitimate critic, suffered manic depression due to your own shortcomings that nobody seems to notice AND ripped years of work from our walls in a tragic fit of artistic rage, I really wouldn't say you know art at all. You muses and photographers wouldn't understand. The only reason I love my course so much is I adore what I do. Just yesterday I braved a long winding stairwell filled with spiders for seven floors just to go to my Fundamental Drawing class. I had a cold and I carry with me a morbid fear of spiders, but I did it because I love what I do! I covered my eyes and whimpered the whole way, but at least nobody saw.

Here's a Bob Marley-inspired pop-art piece. My face was actually photocopied. As in I put my face on a photocopier copying surfacemajiggy and hit Enter.

This is the original photocopy with the outline drawn onto the plastic, cos half of you are like YEAH RIGHT SHE JUST MADE HERSELF LOOK HOTTER HURR HURR.



Here is a picture of my glitter skull that I stuck onto my Design portfolio!



And lastly, here is a sketch of Mars, the god of war that I did for Fundamental Drawing yesterday. Ernesto was horrid to me! He was all, "Jor construcshun ees nat bad but ju hev to werk on de deetales! Ju should be hundred perrsent better by now! Ju don' need me to tell ju anymorre!" Ugh the slightest critique from an art teacher can seriously make or break me. I'm sorry I let you down Ernesto! I'll do better next week!


And I would like to say a special thanks to Irena for calling me during class so that everyone could hear that my current ringtone is Burning Up - Jonas Brothers. Why? I'm not quite sure why. It's just me and Didi's song and lately I've been really missing him and showing him mad egregious love! Anyways, thanks lovie! Everyone laughed when my phone rang. It was so awesome.
