L.F RAMBLES - MAY

The print show was a success! We raised over £1200 on the night. And I know the online sales have been doing pretty well too. If you want to buy one, here's the online shop of what's left.

What I wore on the night - I took this when I got home so I look a bit disheveled. MAC's Ruby Woo and the rest is pretty simple. My attempt (fail) at Parisian chic. 

In full uni mode right now. Here's my neighbours (Ben's) work. A good and talented egg... and friend. I can be a pretty pessimistic sod and he somehow always manages to change my outlook on things (uni) - albeit briefly. But thanks.

Utilising my housemates for projects as always. I'm currently into navy lower lashes at the moment. I've had quite a bit of compliments too - adds colour and makes your eyes brighter. YAY.  

FMP TEST 3 from Laisum Fung on Vimeo.

A quick test on what I've been up to.

Chiller.

My dream. One of them anyway. 

L.F RAMBLES - STUFF AND MORE STUFF

 Totally forgot to talk about this, but early September? the first years all got given a third year student and had to come up with something that represents them.... this is what my group came up with! I was pretty flattered - they summed me up pretty well with things I liked, disliked and just odd personality quirks. Thanks guys!

 Start of my last semester. Stuff on my wall to initially inspire me.

We Are Scientists! Fucking awesome. Great gig. And slight crush on Mr Murray. 

My friend gave me a last minute ticket to see Metronomy. I'm familiar with a *few* songs, so I kind of went with fresh ears. Really really good! Great atmosphere and just generally super talented musicians. 

 I'm green and the black doodle is Ben's. We went to a Chris Haughton talk - which was really inspiring. He's a fantastic illustrator and story teller. Check out his books if you can. The colour compositions are majestic.

Nobrow - got all the issues to date. If you like illustration/publishing check them out. They publish the hottest talent around.... and subsequently makes me feel shit! 

 My tutor illustrated this book. Awesome right?

 Some screen printed prints I'm selling to help with fundraising for my degree show. The theme was film.... and the above is what I came up with. It's kind of my humour... I hope someone buys it! My friend told me mine is pretty much the black sheep out of everyone's contribution, opps. 

 MAC ruby woo. Finally own this iconic red. 

Witnessed this aftermath of a daffodil massacre on the way home. That day was pretty bleak (never cried so much in one day). But we all learnt something from it.

 Postcard from Wijtze Valkema to celebrate his studio turning one. Thanks and congrats!

 My flatmates surprised me by buying my shirts. Thanks guys! Pretty awesome to see people rocking my doodles. 

 This is the kind of stuff I Snapchat to my friends. Just at uni looking scratty and eating an apple.

 Looking semi-presentable. Winged eyeliner and plum stained lips.

 I did some henna on Allan, some kind of garden/woodland scene. 

 Some uni work I should of finished awhile ago. It's getting there! I usually find myself getting lost in development and then struggle to find a solution. So I made myself to just DO the finals, and stick with it. The right side is the rough and the left are the finals.

From today! I do a lot of indoor cycling but never any outdoor cycling. Funny huh? Anyway yesterday my friend let me borrow his bike, and after a slightly shaky start (it's been awhile since I've cycled), we decided to go on a massive bike ride to the seaside the next day. We did over 20 miles in total... which is awesome! Except I ate fish and chips... and maybe ice cream..... and then some bubble tea because that's our little thangggg (I committed the worst of all food sins in one day). I earned it though right? Right? Also glad my bag is in the way because I am so stumpy. DAAAAAMN YOU lower half. 

Hey guys, so life kind of took over... or shall I say uni. I don't know if it's just the end of uni or whatever, but I've been such an emotional wimp these couple of months. Anyway things are looking better and I'm a bit more on track with things in my life. Got a month till hand in for my final major project, so I will be slaving for a good month.

Hope you like my small update. And of to see Fuck Buttons next month. YESSSSS.

MARCEL WANDERS: PINNED UP AT THE STEDELIJK, 25 YEARS OF DESIGN

Last day in Amsterdam and Marcel Wanders' exhibition just opened to the public... lucky me! Very creative - love his ideas. Wish I could deck out my house with his designs - form with function.

Amazing to see work you've studied years ago in real life. Totally different experience. 

Weirdly had a thing for furniture design. I'm not usually a fan.

Spot my input :)

Posters! Graphics! Design!

THE STEDELIJK MUSEUM AMSTERDAM

Contemporary art and design museum... HEAVEN. So much to see and curated really well... I spent a good few hours here. 

Had to take a photo. Just because. 

DUTCH DESIGN YEAR

I think I stumbled across a pop up shop whilst we were waiting for the ferry ride. I picked up this hand illustrated pot from STUDIO ELKE. SO CUTE. 

Me being weird, but I really like the sign designs over there. Something quite playful and child-like.

 MAC LIPMIX - CRIMSON

Impulse purchase just because I was at a MAC pro store... I think this must be the first time I've bought something from MAC in like 2 years maybe? Anyway the formula is matte and leaves a stained effect.

CATRICE LIQUID METAL EYE-SHADOW - 080 MAUVES LIKE JAGGER

I wanted to pick up more drugstore things just because I'm a bit of a make-up magpie especially with new brands. Only this stood out to me. Duo-chromes gets me every time. Dammit. 

Hey guys, so after dissertation I went to Amsterdam with my best friend. I had a really good time although it was super super cold over there. I should probably mention I got 67 for my dissertation - which I'm pleasantly surprised with... I was expecting to be in the 50 range. At the moment I'm literally at the cusp of potentially getting a first for my degree. I'm feeling the pressure so much, just because I will really be kicking myself if I just miss out. I'm currently at the end of another competition brief before I spend around 3 months doing my FMP which amounts for 40 credits = can't fuck up.

I'll show my face soon! Well in a make-up post style. 

L.F RAMBLES - 22

 Our book: Phantasmagoria with limited edition collectible mobile plane :)

Everything was hand drawn in a line style and shaded using dots. Very very time consuming. 

 If you were wondering why I disappeared from blogging it was because of the above. For uni I had to do a collaborative book project with the theme 'vanished'. Our (I worked with Ben) book was inspired by Amelia Earhart and to say it was a bit of a journey is a real understatement. It was a pretty heavy brief creating the story and all the content and binding it etc etc. We faced a lot of problems but it was worthwhile. We got a really really good mark for it and I'm actually really proud of it - which is rare for me. I owe a lot to my partner Ben, he was responsible for the colouring, key parts of the narrative and the 'bones' of the images. My main job was mainly just turning his sketches into the finals (like the images above). So kind of re-drawing his images into my own drawings. He worked really hard and really pushed our book so it became something more - it actually has some depth. So thank-you Ben! Awesome partner and I think after pretty much working together everyday for 3 months we've become really good friends too :)

My weakness: SHOES.

My other weakness: SUSHI. There's actually a Japanese buffet restaurant literally 7 minutes walk away from me. Surprisingly I don't go there that often. Good sushi, I recommend. 

Errrr more sushi! My friend Nathan actually surprised me with this when I got back home after a meal out having Japanese food LOL. It was really sweet of him and beats having birthday cake fo sho!

MISSHA SIGNATURE VELVET ART SHADOW IN N0. 17 CRANBERRY COMBINATION AND LIPSTICK SRD704

My mum surprisingly got me make-up for my birthday, which was unexpected, because she usually moans about how much stuff I've got. Anyway, she did a good job on the colour choices - the eye shadows have some nice duo-chromey complex hues to them and you can't beat a berry lip. 

Me having a play with the above. I like, I like!

Me goofing around with my sisters glasses. I've always liked the look of glasses, but my eyesight says no to them for now.

STEPHANE MARAIS - BEAUTY FLASH

When I'm not buying shoes, sushi, or prints... I buy books. This was a bit of a naughty birthday present for myself.... but when I saw one on Amazon, NEW and not too extortionate I *had* to get it. It feels so great owning this out of print book. Fellow make-up enthusiasts, I'm sure you feel what I feel.

TERRY RICHARDSON - TERRYWORLD

I know I know. I shouldn't like him, but I do. Sorry but not sorry.

Last vain selfie! This is the make-up I wore on NYE. Green smokey winged eye and berry stained lips.

Hey guys, just a small update of new things and images I forgot about on my phone. I went back home last week and had such a good long weekend! It's the first time we've had everyone together for over a year and a half, since my sister has been away teaching. So it was really nice to just spend time with everyone.... and errrm, eating lots of things a poor student can't afford.

Also last week I turned 22! Gah! I spent it with my sister in Newcastle and we had a really good trip at the BALTIC - got a really good show on atm.

I started uni again today, new brief and no doubt new stresses ahoy! BUT good and exciting news is: I'M OFF TO AMSTERDAM NEXT WEEK! I'm going on a short break with my best friend.

Going to be good, I hope!
