Not a lot is really happening art-wise right now - a lot of my time during the week is taken up by my part-time position in an office. I actually really like most aspects of my job, so this isn't entirely a bad thing - but this has resulted in me pouncing on the prompts in Embodiiment and doing something artistic with them.
Last week, I retrieved some of my A-level artwork from my old sixth-form college. A lot of the stuff there I left behind, but I took most of my canvasses, a couple of sketchbooks and a few large paper sheets (also, my 3D cups-and-teapot piece). I expected to be there only for a few minutes but I stayed for a while just looking through all of my old art - most of which I hadn't seen in over a year, but it feels so much longer! The things I took home are on top of my wardrobe now (along with my Foundation portfolio) with the exception of my Spider canvas - that's hanging above my desk - and my teapot n' cups piece, which are on my window ledge.
That's really about it so far! As awesome as I find the Embodiment project, I am hoping to practise my artwork beyond this little book sometime this summer. (Maybe even get back into doing some digital work, as I haven't seemed to use my tablet in a while.)

Abstract Artwork
... so these are the more abstract bits I did.
This is Deepest Blue. There are influences in there from Gustav Klimt; and I loved the palette and threads I used for it.
This one, Identity, you can see some more of the Klimt influence. This I did for my AS-level art, and was actually well-liked (I wasn't keen on what I'd done at first, but now I'm starting to like what I did thar)
This canvas I did for my final exam, where the theme was Celebrities and the Media. I named this Fifty Cents for your Soul, after the famous Marilyn Monroe quote, and it took me approximately five hours to complete.
And finally, there's Sunday Morning. I linked to it as opposed to embedding it in the post as it could be considered NSFW (there's nudity, but it's artistic and there isn't much 'detail')
Sewing into canvas, it hurts your fingers after a while.
