Beasts of the Southern Wild had been on my list of films to watch for a while now. I would have preferred to see this in the theatre but was unable to find it showing in a place that was accessible to me. So I curled up on the couch on Saturday morning and watched this strange… […]
This week I tried something new. It is a blue-to-white pseudo gradient and on the accent it is reversed. I started with a deep cobalt blue and went from there. The colours aren’t perfect but it kinda worked. The real problem was my unsteady hands, creating not-so-straight lines and uneven distribution of colour… …more
I haven’t done an education piece in a long, long time. It has been like 2 years incredibly, but it is not that my mind is less curious it is just that I kind of forgot about it. Now I am going to bring it back. This sudden realization comes up because of a discussion… …more
I don’t know if you have seen this as yet, it’s been out for a whole 5 days now so I assume most people with internet access and a fondness for film would have come across this and had a peek. But I have to share anyways because it is thoroughly enjoyable. I love pun humour and… […]
