Okay, this is going to be an extremely self-centred (i.e. lots of camwhoring) post, so you have been warned.
They are in chronological order starting from maybe ... 8, 10 days ago?
Let's begin.
DDoing my best wide eyed glare.
People say my profile is nice, but I think that is the one thing that makes me still look like I am five years old.
I like just being a kid .. .screwing around in places you're not supposed to go.
Before you ask ... yes I am only wearing a bra under that top. And no, I did not wear that outfit out like that.
II love saving photos that seem like they may be permanently screwed. The grainy effect actually comes from an extremely dirty mirror. This was actually supposed to be an outfit shot, but you can probably imagine that my arms and legs were tangled in all sorts of hysterical ways. Luckily, I had a semi-serious expression on my face (you would be amazed if you could see the full picture), and so I did some sepia-ing and blurring and voila, it looks like I purposefully did corny vintage photo editing!
I've been obsessed with drawing stuff on myself ... You could call me a poser for always trying to look tattooed. Well, I dunno, it makes me feel more legitimate I suppose ... legitimate as an adult? My face is just way too child-like. But go ahead, laugh.
These are lyrics from A Little Pain, by the way, my soundtrack to life.
My freaky bug-black contacts came in the other day. Oh I love them so.
Done this morning. It's my Chinese name without my family name ... the product of a number of philosophical revelations I have had as of late. I really like this actually. Considering getting it done (yes for real) but on another part of my body. Don't know yet.
Outfit of the day! Had lots of fun with this one ... video below.
...yes.
Aaaand a closeup!
The end :)!

Wow, time passes fast. I seem to say that every time I post, don't I? Well, it is true.
And I have been spending far more time on Tumblr, it seems, than anything else. It's just that Tumblr is so non-commital. I'm tempted to make a crude sexual reference here, but I will refrain. Anyway, with Tumblr, you just post little bits of inspiration, here and there ... and there are so many spamming Tumblr users that any amount I do seems okay.
Anyway, onto the theme of the post. I was thinking to myself, what are my thoughts clouded with these days? Well, the answer is my portfolio. I will be applying for graduate school very soon, and that means I need portfolio fodder. Cool looking, inspired things that show off my creative potential. And so I have been compiling a little folder (well, it's fattening up pretty fast) of inspiration.
So, without further ado, what I hope my portfolio will look like! Ah-hah-hah-hah ........
I've actually done quite a few sketches like this. I love the maximal, paprika parade style. If anything, I want my portfolio to reek of Japan. Not in the way that I have Japanese words and pretty chibis everywhere, but with the feeling that anything goes. The feeling that anything goes and I can get away with it. God that sounded pretentious.
Some beautiful hand-drawings (or paintings) like this one by Alison Moffett. Something displaying the awesomeness of high modern architecture is a plus.
This is a Thesis project by a student at Harvard that eerily resembles alot of my work. Except infinitely more well-executed.
Some crazy parametric stuff that will show that I can program.
A post-apocalyptic city (or country) scaled proposal that will knock their brains out.
I think these are so beautiful.
I didn't really consider doing any sculpture (architectural models not included), but once I saw this, I was really inspired. I would love to take a course in glass sculpture.
Something fashion-related. I never really understood my classmates who don't care about fashion. How is it possible that you can care about aesthetics and design and function and everything else on the scale of buildings but not the clothing you wear? To me, it's all the same.
Anyway, thought I might include some original content.
The other day, I was cutting the boyfriend's hair and realised by god, this is one amazing material. There is something different about sculpting with organic things, as you will see...
A sort of renaissance-depiction-of-the-Virgin-Mary-looking photograph of me:
And perhaps for the first time some of my studio work.
I decided to incorporate some of what I've been calling "sketchiness." Or could also be referred to as artistic flavour into my renders. I'm so sick of people trying to get beautifully straight edges and trying to attain picture-perfect images as opposed to the essence of the building itself.
And in classic Annie style ... I have changed the idea roughly seven times since I made this image. Good one.
Anyway, don't know why I was so chatty in this post ...
I hope you are all doing very well :)!
