life drawing from 08...

I thought I'd scan in and post some sketches from life drawing class from late last year.
apparently I wasn't marked as having done this exercise, so here it is...

deathstalker...

found this dvd in go-lo for $2.
fuckin wild 1983 fantasy/adventure film.
shit sword fights.
lots of princesses with their tits out.
bad dudes with wolf, pig, lion head masks.
amazing themes!
the costumes themselves are very tacky.
oh and shot in argentina with american actors.



one of the many great poses throughout...

no standing only dancing...

finally went and had a look at the Rennie Ellis exhibition at NGV.
i had seen a bit of his work published in vice magazine last year and from what i saw, i really liked. and i heard good things about the show...

i thought it was great seeing how the australian way of life was back in the 70's and 80's...and the diversity of people...from celebs to junkies on the streets of melbourne.
and his work documented this so well...


Derryn Hinch & Allyson Best 1979

the types of people he was able to firstly find and then take portraits of was amazing...

amazingly camp, crazy music i've been listening to non stop.

tv photos...

i've seen a lot of these kind of images.
i enjoy them.

i like the idea of guessing what the tv show/film is that the frame is from.
i also like the lines.

they enjoy penis and pie.

nude hippies in graphic shapes...

"Ankh Magazine

Is an educational, scientific, sociological and cultural publication which illustrates the conviction that the human body is clean and wholesome, and that increased public understanding of the nudist point of view will contribute to the well-being and advancement of the public, whether practicing nudists or not, as well as to the American heritage of the free press."

These images are amazing.
I love the textural look and feel of them.
And the typography and shapes used in combination with the images themselves is wild.

rick "the horsey" james...

amazing.
black on black.
