Well here's something I did for the 2011 Semi-permanent book, and I'm 75% sure it got in (I got an email back = official?). I really regret submitting it though. Out of my own stubbornness I was determine to create something new for this project. But falling back on old habits, I left it to the day before the deadline to start working on my submission. Yep, what you see below is the product of a >24 hour scramble. Cool bro. Although, I'm not entirely ashamed of the piece, I mean the concept is kinda really dumb but that's what I going for I guess... Its just really rough/rushed and needed more time polishing those edges... next time though, fo shoo.
Also here are some photos I dug up from my phone of the amazing encounter I had last year with Mr. Turtle. It just ordinary week day, walking through the park to the Maddington traino, when I saw him just sitting there, I thought he may have been hurt or maybe even dead. After having a minor breakdown on whether poking him would be a legitimate way of checking if he was ok, I realised that despite the wellbeing of the turtle, that this was definitely an occasion to be taking photos. How many times can you say you ran into a turtle on the way to school (without that anecdote involving a car)? Just once for me. And that was enough to want to lock this guy's mug in amongst the dodgey drunk photography of my phone's photo library.
But it seems as I was snapping away with my camera phone, the flash must have pissed him off and ran as fast as turtle could, which is surprising faster than one would imagine ( I've witnessed it with my own eyes now, I know the speed in which turtles travel.) He was ok. The RSPCA could rest at ease. Crisis averted.
