The Exquisite Corpse
No... this post is not about an amazng dead person's body!!
Exquisite Corpse is what sparked off the surrealist movement in art history. [You know that famous painting of the melting clocks? Thats surrealism]. It began with a group of eccentric men doodling in the underground art scene. Have you ever played the game where someone begins a story, folds the paper over and the next prson continues writing the story and by the end, when you unfold the paper, you have a ridiculously hilarious nonsense story?? Well Exquisite Corpse is just like that only instead of writing a story, you're drawing a picture.

Anyways... So after learning about this is my art tutorial, i went home and played the game with Bekah.
Here's what we came up with, against what the surrealists came up with:

Pretty freaky huh?
Hehe, I think Bek and I were definately surrealists once upon a time :P

Slingshots in Hobart!
This past weekend, Anthony and I made a visit to Hobart.
....And here's an action collage...:
Dan's 18th Masquerade Party
Friday 11th was Dan's 18th Birthday Party.
It was themed: "Masquerade"... However, due to safety reasons, we weren't allowed to actually wear masks.
This meant that we all had to get creative with our costumes. I love a creative challenge, and what better challenge than to create a costume for a masquerade party without a mask!?
Leia and Bekah came over to my place to get ready. Here's what we came up with:
And my handsome hubby wore a hat instead of a mask. He looked very dashing ;)
Great Birthday Party. Great Theme. Great Company. A Great way to celebrate the birthday of a great guy!

In the Spirit of Easter
The Devonport Relief Society showed this video on Sunday.
I couldn't help but feel touched as i watched and listened.
In the true spirit of easter i'd like to say: I am truly grateful for the knowledge and testimony i have of my Saviour, brother and friend - Jesus.
Beautiful, isn't it? Also, today i've been brushing up on my photo editing skills and exploring some photoshop tutorials. I created this pic using lighting effects, collage process and blending options...
...Again, it's easter themed...

A New Project...
... So I bet you're wondering what "a new project" is all about.
WELL...
J.W. Portrait Art is a new blog site I've created as a 'project'.
(It's more like a hobby that'll earn me a little $$)
The idea behind it is, you give me a photo you'd like to have drawn/ painted and I do it for you :) Simple.
YOU, my fellow friends, family, and acquaintances, are all free to browse the site and email me :)
If clicking on the link to it above in the text, copy and paste the link below:

$$ Hey Big Spenders!!
BEHOLD... The newest technology breakthrough for Fans.
There are MANY perks to this funky new fan! Some of these are:
1. No Blades. This means there's no "buffeting" in the air that's blown. Instead it blows are smooth, uninterrupted stream of air.
2. It's safe. As modelled below, you can stick your head right up to it, in it/ through it and your head doesn't get chopped off!
3. It's easy to clean. Remeber the days when you had to remove the fan cover, the blades, etc, clean and dust off every part, then put it all back together again. Well, those days are gone now, thanks to Dyson!
4. Dimmer-switch control. Old fans usually only have about 5 settings. The dyson air multiplier has a "dimmer-switch" control for precise adjustment of airflow power.
5.Touch-tilt. This funky fan tilts on it's own centre of gravity. staying put without clamping!
AND... to top it all off. Anthony just walked in with his new iPhone! He's grinning like a kid at christmas!
