I've done it!
This is the old piece of art: (bleargh!)
(apologies for the photo, it would have taken me forever to scan and shop)
and this is it remade..as embroidery!


OK..this is some..well, sort of like a "meme" but also a bit of a "contest" that I'm proposing (it's like a meme in that I'd like other people to do it if they want, and they won't win any prizes, and it's like a contest in that I'd like to keep track of the "entries" as it were.)

Basically, I was cleaning my room today (fun fun fun or not..more like "dust dust dust") and I came across a whole lot of artwork that I'd done 2 to 5 years ago..some of it was just awful! Some of it though, I could see that I liked the idea but lacked the skill and maturity to achieve it at the time.
Now, as everyone knows, you learn all the time. You always improve at your task (and if you don't progress..well, I'm sorry but UR DOIN IT RONG ) and although the stuff that you did years ago may have been very good for your age/level of skill, if you were to do the same piece now, it would be improved. So..what if you were to "remake" your old art?

So..THE REMAKE CHALLENGE
There are a few different things you can do.

1. get a piece of your old art that you can improve on, and redo it!
Make sure to show us a picture of your old artwork so we can compare. I think did something like this [link]
(and yes, this includes photographs)

2. Interpret/recreate an old work in a different medium..this can be your work or someone else's (make sure to be nice..and ask permission!)

3. Interpret your old work/someone else's work (if you want an old work you consider crummy reworked by someone else this would be interesting if you could get someone to recreate it..) by redoing it in an entirely different style. It was a painting? Make plushies out of it! It was a brooding artistic nude? Draw it in chibi! It was a piece of poetry? Illustrate it with ascii art! You get the drift...

So yeah, obviously there aren't any prizes but I just think it'd be fun to do, hopefully other people think so too!
Yeah, I know I don't have the longest watchlist in the world, hahah, but I can promise that if a lot of people do this I'll feature some of them in my journal.

Anyway. I know I'LL be doing it (man some of my old work was crapisto, you can laugh as much as you like when I upload it.)
Well I'm going to go now cause I have a splitting headache and it feels like my neck is about to snap off. Serves me right for talking online to someone in Britain for..let's see..4 hours! It was probably worse for him, considering the time difference had him talking from 12:40am to 4:40 am his time!

And in other news..I'm nearly finished school, had my last classes EVER on Friday, yes, yes YES! Just shitty stuff like applying for places and a few dumb little boxes to tick..grad mass etc...blah!
Have fun with your lives people!
