Did a reasonably full day for my first day of carving my animation but i have carved for longer before!. figured i would upload the video of the time lapse i made!!! in the 15 hours of the video i worked about 13.. as i needed breaks!. i carved 17 Frames… out of the 296 in total!!…
So here is the time lapse!:
I am relaxing at the moment after a day of mostly drawing, contemplating the fun things i have done! and like the idea of more life experiences being a type of CV rather then educational grades.. its a fun thought so figured i would write down as much as i can at the moment.

i’ll add more to this when i can think more i need sleep now!!! i should really do a write up about my iceland trip too!! ahhh!!.. ICELAND!!!!!
Been in iceland for a week now, writing this from the airport!! my flight leaves in an hour!! its free internet in the airport! so thought i would write a summery of the trip! with maybee more of a summery when i get home and can actually get on the computer!. i will need to upload all my photos to the internet when i get home!!! taken so many!! been a very interesting trip!!! great seeing the way of life!!!! They really hate brown for Obvious reasons!. I saw a TShirt which had a picture of Browns face tinted in brown and it said next to it.. ‘Brown is the colour of Poo´ they hate him big time!!!!!!
lots of things happened on the trip! like the flight getting cancelled, when we were about to fly up to west fjords, well.. Lindsay had actually been in the air and about the land, but they had to turn the flight back due to bad weather! only a 40 min flight so not too bad!. my flight was a couple of hours later. we got seperate flights due to no space availabilities. so i did not get to fly that day and we had to stay in Reykjavic another day! which turned out to be an adventure! and i saw some interesting sights!.
our hire car was attained ok even though we were a day late! but due to the weather thing happending we decided to fly back to R.. a day early as if the flight got cancelled today that would have been crazy bad and we would have lost a lot of money! though two days in West Fjords was lost!! what we did see was amazing! AND! we had the guesthouse to ourselves as no one really travells up their at this time of year.. which we knew!! but its the crazy weather conditions that sounded great to see!.
more to come though! i got to go catch my flight home!: I did meet with a hidden Elf up in the mountain and he gave me some Magic!. so that was cool!.
Quick!!!
ok i´m Alive and well!.
life is going good!
had a big adventure today!!.. as flight got concelled. lindsay went before me due to not having seats on the flight i booked!. anyway she was about to land then bad weather turned them back!. and yea i was shocked to see her again!! AHHH..
so we got back into the centre of reykjavic, got the same hostel room as we had the last two nights, we had solo adventures today! for a bit of fun!.
Blue Lagoon! is breathtaking! everyone in the world should experience it at least once in their lifetime! its seriously hard to describe nothing else like it! we were in in for 6 hours! which shows how amazing it was! the light levels changed so much and the Heat was different in various places inthe Hot Lake!. too much almost!! it was seriously!! like! WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!
anyway i´m online to check for weather for tomorrow! so i got to go!.
CHOW!
I was feeling in my general no bar! might as well give it a shot! no harm in trying sort of mood!! knowing how little money i had! and that this project i am working on the Linomation one! is all for Charity! I am not going to make any money!!!!! so i asked TN LAWRENCE kindly! if they could help me out in any way!!!! and WOW! i am pleased to say! that they said yes!!!! and said they would be able to give me 180 times 10cm by 10cm pieces of linoleum to make my Linomation with!… I will need a few more pieces! but that is not too costly! as i will need about another 50 i feel!. but need to have it all drawn up first before i really know! TN LAWRENCE is a printmakers/artist suppliers! and i have used them quite a few times over the past few years! they are really great people! friendly! and always willing to search something out and phone you back!!! I AM VERY !!! excited about this!! and now i am getting excited about Iceland tomorrow!!!! DEAMWAVES!!!! i will have one last sleep before i am in that strange land!!! it will be crazy!! and straight balling out of control!!!! its getting late too so i will have to get off to bed soon! lifes great….
Happiness!! about this Mystical and Magical Adventure i am about to embark on!. i can not wait! it still seems so unreal!. Life is great like this, the seemingly unreal things that happen and your left wondering afterwards if they did happen because they were so amazing yet seemed to happen at the speed of light!. This Icelandic Adventure will begin on the 00:00 9th of jan which is when i arrive in the country of Iceland!. i am then waiting in the airport for 6 hours, to meet with a friend of whom i have never met!. They are flying in from New York..
This alone is a fun thing about the trip! a week spent with someone, who is also a fellow art enthusiast! But of a different kind, and which will make things very interesting i feel because, they are good with words, and make interesting videos from what i have seen thus far!. i have never really had a video camera on a trip! so am looking forward to that part of this trip!!! We are staying in The capital city “Reykjavik” for 2 days. of which we have already managed to secure a place to stay!. then we hope to fly up to “West Fjords” which has probably the coldest conditions in iceland! and has lots of barren and abandoned places! Roads Run along the Coastal lines due to mountainous landscapes, which i am very much looking forward to! as we are going to hire a car!!!! as Lindsay can drive!. I hope we get to the swimming pool at the end of the world, but i am still trying to find places to spend our nights, as we will need rest!!!! I hope we get to see a hidden little person, hidden little people are in the myths of the place.. all very exciting, i can not picture too much! other then we have said that we will have “Art breaks” in which she will write and i will draw!!! maybe combine the two!!!. anyway i got to go! now have dinner at my aunties place!! she is cooking a sunday Roast dinner!.
My work is coming along slow!. i have been spending quite a lot of time chatting about iceland thinking about iceland, reading about iceland!. i have managed to figure out i think about 40 % of the movement of the animation!. my paris map is on hold due to the deadline of the 4th of feb for having my animation completed!!.. I came up with the idea of putting every Hand Printed frame from the linocut animation in Picture frames! this would cost a lot of money, so i doubt i will do it!. but i like the idea for future projects!!! as it would look pretty interesting in that way in an exhibition i think!!
