bad, bad, bad

I've been a bad blogger and I really should update more. I'm not going to bore you with all the reasons why I haven't (except if you really want to know, but I doubt it ;) ).
One of the reasons I will tell you though. It's been carnaval around here a couple of weeks ago. It was wonderfull. I made a quite ellaborate costume that, in my opinion, looked absolutely wonderfull. Someone took a picture of me in which you can partly see it.

 

So now if any of you who are reading this don't know me in person, you can now somewhat see what I look like.

Another thing that has occupied me is shoes. And not in the girly sense of; OH EMM GEE I need like three pairs of that and four of those like right now, but more in the sense of that my normal shoes for milder weather are completely falling apart (I'll spare you a picture of that). They were basically just like Vans prison issue sneakers. After searching just about everywhere in the city and online, I have not been able to replace them (I'm not giving up though, I will find a pair eventually). That led to buying the cheapest pair of sneakers I could quickly find. Since I don't find these interesting one bit, I decided to draw on them, so they would at least have something different and personal. So, I now present you with... transition shoes:

Definitaly better than the holey pieces of shit I was walking on before =)

shut the fuck up and listen!

I've got several sketch books and in one of them I stick pictures from magazines, newspapers, etc. that I find inspiring. I've started this because the pile of newspapers and magazines was getting to big. It just started feeling silly at one point to keep so many of them just because of one or a few pictures. Yesterday I was going through a magazine and saw an ear. It was an exceptionally large ear. So I cut it out, and started drawing around it.

just stuff

It's been a while. I thought life would be a bit more quiet, I guess I was wrong, haha. Last week we (my study colleagues and I) had a workshop hosted by an animation artist. That was nice! In the mean time I have three other projects to work on and even though we just started, deadlines seem te be scary close. Besides all that, I also still have three classes. So PFFFf, it's a lot, but it's wonderfull. All this work keeps the presure on and I feel like I'm learning in a really fast pase at the moment.
Luckily I still find a little bit of time to see some of my friends. The picture I'm posting has to do with that. I know the four people in this picture and have seen them the last few days, but they never knew I drew this... let's hope they won't see, and if they do, that they don't mind ;).

finally some rest

After a few heavy weeks, the stress has finally gone. Most of the deadlines for school have been met and I'm satisfied with the grades I got. Also, my website http://www.sammyfoppen.nl is now online and working!

To make up for posting so little the last two weeks, I'm going to give you a series of 4 pictures today. These were part of one of my exams.

it's been to long

Hi everyone! Sorry it took a while. I'm better now. I haven't posted the last couple of days because this weekend was my birthday, hooray! And I'm in the middle of examweek at the academy. So the whole week is going to remain quiet. I do have something for you today though. My lovely parents gave me a tablet for my birthday, I'm so happy. This picture is the first try to test it out.

It's a mash up of birthday thoughts and part of my costume for carnaval (which is in a month =D).

female counterpart

So, I'm still ill. Got the flu, which is especially handy since i'm having deadlines at the acadamy, yay -_-'.  But the rest and tea will do me good and hopefully I'll be a bit better tomorrow morning.

The subject of todays picture is the female counterpart of the picture of the god I posted yesterday. These are two collages, which hang on my wall. The reason why I'm posting these yesterday and today is because this is (next to the computer and tvscreen) the view from my couch. Good thing it's a good view, I've been seeing it a lot, haha.

Here's a picture, it's a god

I'm ill, so I'm not going to wright much, but will go back to sleep. Girl night yesterday was fun though.
