good afternoon dreamies!!! it's a pretty hot week where i am in australia but i'm in an air-conditioned classroom right now so it's nice and breezy :-) recent highlights! last saturday i went to kaicon in melbourne central and it was very very awesome! i saw a lot of cool cosplays and i spent like 235 ish on posters and keychains :3 i got a lot of sonic stuff but i couldnt find much robotnik specifically! i only found two eggman keychains in the whole alley! but on the bright side i got to talk to some really cool artists :) some other fandoms i got merch of are nu carnival, mcr, marvel, alien stage, miku and i got some original stuff too. and it turned out that someone from my design class went as well ON THE SAME DAY but we just didn't manage to pass each other by! i went with my sister and a friend, and i spent more than both of them combined... maybe 200 isn't really that much objectively but for a unemployed teen like me it's basically all i got! i don't regret buying so much though. i'm really happy with everything i got :]

SPEAKING OF my design class it's a weekly class and the current topic is 9 weeks, and we're two weeks in. i just got my folio diary this week and im starting research buttt.......... it's just very hard to find inspo considered 'academic; enough. in a class context, it's not recommended to source/reference from any online/indie artists. they have to be published or known...... but so many artists i like only really have social media presences! a lot are recently graduated art students themselves. it sucks because i'm so inspired by these grassroots artists but i can't say that in my folio because it won't be considered legitimate enough. ugh. anyway. i'll figure something out.
