Old Photography and Art

Sunday morning and it's completely miserable, wet and black outside. Not to mention freezing. Today im supposed to be modelling for my friends fashion photography again. Im quite excited but also nervous as i havnt done it in years! These were my favourite ones that he took a long time ago...







They were supposed to be demonstrating how the whole vanity, beauty and makeup thing has gone so over the top that it's almost unnattractive and sickly. I think i look pretty scary and greasy :S But i love how rich and vibrant the overall images came out. Im not sure why the fruits were neccessary, I must admit-it was quite amusing trying to keep a serious face while rubbing fruit all over it. The worst one was definately where i had to lick a coconut and pretend i was enjoying it!

Here we go....





That second one makes me laugh!

Anyway as you can probably guess I've been going through loads of old stuff and dug out these old photographs and drawings. I miss the summer, i love just going off cycling or walking in fields and finding somewhere to sit down for a few hours and draw weird fantasy art.





I did these while sitting in a field near my dads house, as you can probably tell i love doing biro sketches, you can get so much detail and it stands out so much sharper than when using pencil. I cant wait until it's summer again and i can start getting out more often and get inspired!

Introduction

So here goes my first blog post. My name is Emily Red, 20 years of age, I live in the UK, Brighton to be precise. And a few of my favourite things include playing my guitars, making money, drawing and alternative fashion. Here’s my most recent picture of me.



I decided to start blogging because I would like to show and share my ideas, experiences and opinions and meet other creative and colourful people like myself. Today im feeling quite arty so I thought I’d show a couple of biro sketches I did of a beach in Rinsey, Cornwall. This is my favourite place in the world.



It's actually more of a cove than a beach, the sand is entirely covered by the sea at high tide and it's completely wild and unspoilt by tourists. Often i get down there in the morning and there wont be a single footprint on the sand.



To get to the cove you have to climb down a cliff and half way down is an old copper mine where i love to sit and draw.



Here’s me in the mine :)
