Dinosaurs
I've been given a little task of drawing some things for a children's play park, to be printed onto large metal boards (like road signs). I can draw whatever I like as long as children will like it. So here's some dinosaurs! I'm also going to do some classic zoo animals or something.

Cat cam IV
Slightly more decent photographs this time, considering I was still using a 24 exp. out of date film anyway. Although I think the flash died towards the end of the film as it rarely seems to work now. I will try new batteries.

It's my birthday!
And my mum and me have half made a chocolatey sponge cake - it is in the oven, and then needs to be sandwiched together with cherry jam. But here's the cake I had three years ago (for my 16th). Unfortunately not homemade.
I'm quite excited for the debut of Matt Smith as the new Doctor, although David Tennant will be missed.
EDIT: My mum just reminded me of the cake I had last year, for my 18th, made by my amazingly talented cake crafting friend, Lizzie. And it just has to be shared with the world.

And we ate this by the sea in Falmouth on the day of my interview,
as the icing melted in the sun.

I'm not sure why I've done this other than to see what people/bands like The Gaslight Anthem, Frank Turner and Muse are up to, but I made myself a twitter. At least now I've reserved my name so that no other Emma Prews out there can have it. Haha. Which remind me, Google my name and it will actually mostly be me that comes up.

Weimin He's construction portraits
"This exhibition presents the artist Weimin He's creative responce to the recent major redevelopment of the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford. Inspired by the noise, dust and activity of the construction site, he has chronicled the transformation of the Ashmolean from the demolition of the old galleries in 2006 to the completion of the new building in 2009."
- I typed all of that (and the two paragraphs to follow) out, copied from a photograph I took.
"At the same time he has also made portrait studies of many of the construction workers and the Museum's own staff. These portraits are brush drawn in ink on pi and xuan papers or as album leaves, a technique that has been used in China for more than a thousand years. Weimin's own woek is particularly inspired by the simplicity and boldness of Han dynasty seal (206 BC - AD 220), while endowing the traditional medium with his contemporary interpretation."
"Weimin He was Christensen Fellow of Chinese Painting in the Ashmolean's Department of Eastern Art for four years until 2008, followed by a term as Artist in Residence. He curated the exhibition Chinese Prints 1950-2006 in the Ashmolean Museum, shown between October 2007 and February 2008."
These really interested me and stood out against all the other things I'd seen in the museum before hand. I'd like to do something like the first lot of images. They're almost like precise monoprints, and you can definately see the traditional Chinese influence.
