Now how does a room makeover sound to you?

To me it sounded pretty damn good. Which is probably why I did one..

So I understand that it wasn't such as massive change as when I painted my room green and got new carpet... but this was a style makeover.
Before, my room was kind of cluttered looking as I had freaking loads of posters on my walls. Every single wall.

 

 

And so I decided that my room needed to be spiced up a little.

So obviously I went on the Internet, (the source of all solutions), and found a neat idea for something to do to my wall.

I was looking on Jessica's blog, the lovely side , and found a really cool idea for wallpaper she used in her 'bed nook'. She used book pages on the wall instead of wallpaper. And it gives a really nice, homely, lovely (he he) feel to my room.

 

As well as that, I found some 'chalkboard paint' at my local DIY store. This stuff is seriously magical!

So I uh, may have painted a bit of my wall with it...

 

Anyway.. you can see that I've spiced up my room a bit. Hope you liked it!

More to come in the summer months hopefully... heheh

 

 

 

Rankin - Destroy Project

So at school we've started a new project, called the 'destroy' project.

And let me tell you, I am in LOVE with this project! It's so great and easy to do.

It's in the name really, 'destroy project' - I was bound to love it :)

It is all based around the project that Rankin did for charity which was the destroy project.

He basically sent back a load of photographs that he'd took of people (he's a photographer) and let them 'destroy' them. He then displayed them in an art exhibit for charity.

In school, so far, we've started our sketchbook pages for this project.

 

This is the first page that I did for the destroy project.

Background - Red ink with black accents around the text.

Pictures - All photos from Rankin's destroy project.

Quotes- All from the celebrities who took part in the destroy project, from the Rankin Destroy website.

 This is the second page that I made for the Destroy project, it basically is my 'test' page for my final piece/s of the project. It features more of my own drawings and paintings, etc, than the last page. It has sort of 3 main pieces on it.

The first of these is this one. So basically it's a picture of basement jaxx, but it's really deconstructed into almost just the outline and some detail. Aswell as this, I've added a sort of running paint effect.

The second is this one, can you believe I actually went outside and collected grass to stick in my sketchbook?

This picture is to mimic the actual destroyed picture, which has 'grass' on

it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The next 'big piece' sort of thing on this page is this.It is really quite simple but effective. I just traced (okay, carbon papered..whatever) the picture of Howie B, and painted a big ol cross over his face.
