Post It.

-       v

A piece of paper with an adhesive strip on one side designed to be stuck prominently to an object or surface and easily removed when necessary.

Today I was inspired by a Post’ It Sticky. You know the one that comes in all these happy colours' that scream, “ WRITE ON ME!”

Since I’m an aspiring copywriter, I am constantly on the look out for any innovative way to use words as my visuals but also not forgetting about the love I have for art as well because it is no longer confined, all the boundaries have left… and dropped off an interesting package of trinkets to start experimenting with. 

To tie in with the previous post on " Distracted Scribbling", I got some friends to do personal doodles for me on yellow Post Its' . All these doodles are visual representations of me through those around me. I have come to the conclusion that art does not have to be these grand paintings , it is basically anything YOU HAVE CREATED. It infuses your work with your personality and as much as " nothing is original" , this is in a way something that is originally you.

We did a " Creative Challenge" awhile ago , basically you were given specific drawings to do each day for eighteen days. It was challenging , some were utter rubbish but that's okay. Its my utter rubbish. Other came out really unexpectedly great as well as some could have been really interesting , hadn't I procrastinated ( he he he !).

Experiment though, you never know what you will stumble upon.

Meet the Post Its' :) .

I assume this is me meditating , I can tell from the depiction of the Fro .

Abstract art , looks like they were trying to vent out some unresolved feelings ( He He He ). P.s Anonymous you could always book an appointment with Shaina .

I love this one , it is entitled : " Play". I could do with some of that after this long semester. No doubt.

The third eye. The creative eye.

Flowers that you could possibly find in Alice in Wonderland , maybe Vega Land .

Eye-see-you.

Fresher than you !

This is undoubtedly my favourite : It is called, " The Neff". I am sitting there alone on the beach , possibly reflecting and enjoying the silence. Many do not know that side of me but I can be an extreme introvert and sometimes you need that alone-time.

Day Five from the Creative Challenge : It was entitled, " Your best friend ". To me books are my best friends , just to show you how introverted I am.

The first day of the Creative Challenge: This one was entitled," Portrait of yourself". I was really proud of this one because I had no drawn anything in years and this is how it came out. It is fineliner on paper and it was a rough start but I held on and just continued. I feel like I broke a lot of boundaries and walls I placed on myself.

Day Eight of the Creative Challenge: This one was entitled," Your favourite word." The word I chose was Wanderlust because to me all those who wander are not lost , they are explorers'. It also incorporates my love on travel.
