These are the two paintings I've been working on finishing for back up work over Easter. They're pretty much done now, I just can't bring myself to actually leave them alone.

This week has been pretty damn awesome though. And it's not even easter yet.

Got Reading tickets last week, how immense is that gonna be? I physically cannot wait (or stop talking/thinking about it) And we all went to Oakwood yesterday. I'd never heard of it but Jess said it was great and it totally was.

We went flying in sleeping bags, yeah thanks Danny for not telling us before he let it go, went on a wooden roller coaster and had a race in some pedalos. Amazing.

Let's hope next week if the same if not better. Roll on the end of fucking college hey! Woo!

I'm not getting kicked out of college!! The last few weeks (or year) have been pretty shitty and as a result of my issue with my art teacher I ended up not going to lessons. She wanted me kicked out, but apparently I'm 'too talented' so today at my interview after many supportive words and advice the conclusion was made that I was worth another try.

Mainly thanks to my beautiful, funny, talented & supported friend & model Jess (neonpeg) but also Kim. So in dedication to those lovely ladies here are some fashionable sketches just for them.

Feet Found

Finally finding my feet/style within the art course & no better time, this is the first actually good thing I've done in a while, think I might run with this more computerized, colour, scribble thing.

Jake Spider Patrick is finally H A P P Y

This is the clay hand i made for my final piece, pretty awesome if i do say so myself. Now i just need to fire it and treat it, i'm thinking maybe a bronzy colour, or even just block white. Hmm...

So finally it's half term! Heroes and villains party tomorrow night should be fun... dunno what costume to wear though, possibly just some pants over trousers and cape action, or a mask, where can i get a mask from??

Long time no post. So i just finished my life drawings for the 3 classes i did a couple of weeks ago, just adding detail etc. i'm really happy with them so i thought i'd share.

Oh and also my friend jess has got a blog now so check it out. it's quite fashiony but she's an intelligent girl, i'd keep an eye on it.

Like anyone reads this....yeah!

One of my new college friends is really great to have around, funny, interesting and we have loads in common. But since we first started hanging out i've always thought of her as a mate.

Then on facebook she added me and her photos really pouty and trying so hard to be sexy and it just really made me look at her differently.

i've never been into the whole posing and pouting for profile pictures (even though my hair suggests otherwise) and i dunno it's not sexy is it? i mean no one would ever see a girls picture where she's wearing loads of make up and little clothing and think yeah i bet she's a really great person to hand out with.

i dunno, maybe i'm just gay like everyone says

!&(^%$^$ JOKING

i'm not sure about this sketch either, she looks plastic

So i met this girl today who i always see on her own, but i knew her from gigs before. We were talking in the smoking area at college and she asked me if i was an alien or a robot. i said robot and i think this was the wrong answer because she laughed and walked away.

Or maybe it was because she had finished her cigarette. She has this awesome green coat and bright ginger hair.

i think i want to be an alien.

So for college we had to take a photo of something relating to us. This is my pencil. It's a pretty new pencil as you can tell but I bite it a lot. I guess you could say stress but that's not really it. Just force of habit. I chew a pencil, or I sketch, or I get this weird twitch in my leg.

My ex said it's cause I was always having new ideas.

Anyway, Emma (my art teacher) really liked it, for once, she liked something I did. I'm hoping that means she'll get off my back about the whole photography thing and start actually drawing or painting or SOMETHING that I actually want to do.

PS i know i always talk about college but it's all thats on my mind

So the last post I did was about starting at college well... since starting at college here are just some of the doodles I have achieved.

You'd think the fact that I was solely studying art would mean that I didn't feel the need to sketch over and above the actual art that I need to do.

Well that's a lie.

BTEC art so far has included very little art at all, more just being patronized by people that only think I'm there because I'm an idiot and I couldn't do A Levels if I tried.

Not at all because art is the only thing I've ever really liked.

So my new start is pretty much like starting where I left off, but hey the doodles look pretty sweet, no?

I started college today, as I'm sure your all riveted to hear about.

Ironically this is the first image that comes up on google when you type in St Brendan's (the name of my college)

So yeah hopefully this'll be a hell of a lot better than COF as I'm doing BTEC art, more like what I actually want to do with my life.

Well...I'll keep you posted.

Well blogger I have succumb to all that you are.
