Had a Mock Art Exam today (Mocks = Fake pre-Leaving Cert. Exam, for practice) and drew a rather fabulous squirrel. Must get it back after it's been graded, 'cause it makes me proud ^_^
Had barely any sleep last night because of nerves, and spent the whole of yesterday drawing squirrels to practice (can't draw from a photo for Imaginative Composition... needed to learn proportions).
On the bright side: TOMORROW is the FREELANCE WHALES concert!!! Amazingly excited! Found the band around this time last year, bought their CD during the summer while in Canada (cheaper!) and LOVE THEM. Utterly fabulous! They came over in September for the Electric Picnic music festival in Co. Laois (or was it Louth... meh, no one really cares) but I had schooooool *cries*. School ruins everything. But they're FINALLY BACK!!! And it will be amazing! So so excited....
If anyone reads this (doubtful xD) and don't know the FW (most people) then they are a band full of very talented musicians. Lead singer and songwriter is Judah Dadone, and one of the band members is Chuck Criss, whose music has featured on the soundtrack of the webshow Little White Lie ('Same Old Situations', a personal fave) and whose brother is Darren Criss, of A Very Potter Musical (and, latterly, Glee) fame.
Their music is beautiful, sometimes haunting, often very cheerful - despite the subject matter. I gather the CD is about a ghost and a child who are friends, or feel a childish form of love. Lovely anyway. Especially 'Broken Horse' and 'Generator 2nd Floor'.
They're playing Tuesday night (1st of Feb 2011) at 8pm in Crawdaddy in Dublin, Ireland. And it will be awesome.
