It turns out that the circuit board on my CPU is ruined. Meaning I can’t use, and worst of all access all my important stuff, ugh. And God alone knows if I’ll EVER be able to recover them :S Did I mention I haven’t backed up my system in say… 1000 years? Annoyed right now, mostly at myself. So my netbook is finally being put to use. This’ll have to suffice. For now. </p><p>Anyways, I decided to only put up my “best” works, or at least that’s what people say.

Now, this is not mine. She belongs to the neighbours. When she came leisurely strolling in my yard I decided I should take her photo as a pass :P She was named by the neighbours who are btw little kids ages ranging from 6-12. Kamla, around that time was campaigning to be the first female Prime Minister of my country- T&T. She won btw. Apparently you’re never too young to get involved in politics and the like. Oh and I voted for the very first time this year for that elections. Yes, I am legal. </p><p> </p><p>Being truly inspired by the Typography art I always seem to come across be it online, brochures, newspapers, tv etc, I decided to give it a try- traditionally though. </p><p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_JYDXwVnShLU/TKt4R5zXKGI/AAAAAAAAADI/y43bylIHRgs/s1600-h/COLOUR_by_freestyle_1love%5B3%5D.jpg"><img title="COLOUR_by_freestyle_1love" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="259" alt="COLOUR_by_freestyle_1love" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_JYDXwVnShLU/TKt4SkSAkNI/AAAAAAAAADM/BsNUV-IyiWs/COLOUR_by_freestyle_1love_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="202" border="0"></a> </p><p>Getting the hang of Typography, I felt confident enough to give a try at it digitally. </p><p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_JYDXwVnShLU/TKt4TuFpoLI/AAAAAAAAADQ/ZCCR9vlp8ww/s1600-h/Peace_Typography_by_freestyle_1love%5B4%5D.jpg"><img title="Peace_Typography_by_freestyle_1love" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="281" alt="Peace_Typography_by_freestyle_1love" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_JYDXwVnShLU/TKt4UWK01VI/AAAAAAAAADU/DAhESPrU8f4/Peace_Typography_by_freestyle_1love_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="281" border="0"></a> </p><p>That should do it for now. </p><p>Peace, love & respect. </p>Crystal Icehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17987215742898034638noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-962520960889186466.post-77936971433353204282010-07-30T10:51:00.000-07:002010-07-30T11:40:15.738-07:00Little WondersI've come to the conclusion, that there is no greater inspiration than Life.

The later posts will most likely have a different style, as I developed and experimented with techniques and so on. It's always amazing to see the improvements you've made when you compare old and current work. And I always find reasons to improve. Perhaps the search for 'perfection' is endless... :)Crystal Icehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17987215742898034638noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-962520960889186466.post-90269156163012122882010-07-27T10:30:00.000-07:002010-07-27T11:16:29.052-07:00Well, hello there!So this is my very first post here, hopefully there will be more after this!
