the End is so near and also sooo faaarr away

I seem to be falling behind a bit with my blog updates.

Only 2 weeks left before the Graded Unit presentation on 10-11th of June. I'm really looking forward to the end of my Computer Art & Design course not only because I want to start working on some of my own projects(I'll tell you about them later) but also there are other urgent things I need to take care of and I can't do it while I'm studying full time. When the end is so near it becomes difficult to push myself even harder because the only thing I really want is to get some rest. :( I wish I had some magic pill that could make me stop sleeping and don't feel tired. :) So the pressure is on and I need to keep the pace especially because in April I have' lost' approximately two weeks waiting to get paid so I could order some of the necessary resources.

There have been some major changes to my final project: I will be submitting still images instead of a video. So last week I had a look at photo printing and enlargements. I had a nice dream X) of presenting some of my pictures on photo canvas. However, canvas prices are waaayyy to high for my current purse. If I'm lucky I might be able to order a single large poster or two smaller ones but that's it. So no flashy presentations for me. Worst case scenario I'll just order colour cartridges for my inject printer and use photo paper (I already have) to make A4 size prints.

At the moment I'm still working on my stencils, trying to cut a couple more and to fix ones I've already done. It's going to be a nightmare to make them fit inside that tiny car I'm using...

I'm still trying to regularly visit St. Enoch square at night, but weekends although very convenient for me, aren't best times for taking all that expensive gear and making fools of ourselves by flashing multicoloured lights in front of a camera. Attracts too much certain kind of unwanted folk. XD E.g.: I have met a man 2 weeks after the general elections asking us who won. Just makes you wonder where and what he's been up to for those last couple of weeks. :S Met a builder who wanted to give me a beating for doing 'something' to his van:O and been in trouble with police men who thought that I was stealing Nando's plant pots. (Just a note: one plant in a big pot is same size or even bigger than me.) I was so baffled that I've totally forgot to ask them what did they think I was doing with that single LED torch, lighting my way? :D rofl






A couple days back I've taken an image of a bicycle that I'm mostly pleased so far. It took a couple of tries before it came out the way I wanted.
