YouTube, Man

Holla people of earth!

Today I am going to share something with you. I am addicted to this website called Youtube, perhaps you've heard of it. Phew, I'm glad I got that off my chest.  Anyways, my favourite "youtuber" is Kick the PJ. He makes magical, creative, British videos. Plus he also does awesome drawings and writes music. I love his Tiny Planet Explorer video and also his Backpack Jetpack video. His videos always inspire me to make something. He's just so darn creative. Also he's not bad on the eyes...wink wink. Well here's the picture....


I have a confession to make about this painting/drawing. I didn't actually do it today. I did it awhile ago. I feel bad about that, but I just couldn't make a drawing I like today.

I hope you have a lovely, wonderful, magical, incandescent, fun and exciting evening. NOT! hahah just kidding.

P.S. I also like this video that PJ made.

YOU KNOW IT WHEN YOU SEE IT

Yo!

I saw Capital Cities on Monday and they were great! I don't think I've ever been happier at a concert. It was the last show for the band so they played for a really long time and then did a DJ session after. I danced like crazy and even smacked someone in the head (accidentally). It was a great night. So that's what I'm saying my obsession was today. The happiest band in the world.


I don't have much to say about this drawing... You can decide what it is for yourself.

Why see the world when you've got the beach?

Holla!

In today's episode of Hanna's obsession I will be sharing two or maybe three things that I love. They are, Frank Ocean, The Bling Ring and Sofia Coppola. I wanted to do this post about Frank Ocean mainly, but I couldn't think of anything to draw that would fit into my style and then I remembered that one of his songs is in the end of the movie The Bling Ring and voila I had an idea. The Bling Ring is about a group of teenagers that steal from a whole bunch of celebrities houses by just walking into their unlocked houses. Emma Watson is amazing in this movie because she is just the opposite of herself in every way. Also Sofia Coppola's movies are always really beautiful to look at. Now onto why Frank Ocean is awesome. I am not actually sure why I like him. It's weird because he is an R&B type singer, and if you have seen any of my other posts you will know that I like alternative, British music. I just can't explain why I like him. I don't know!



So there it is. Hooray!

Have a joyous evening! I'm going to see Capital Cities in concert! AHHH!

SKULLS

Hey there folks!

I bet you are wondering what I am obsessed with today. No, it's not real skulls or even drawing of skulls. It is one of the new songs from Bastille. I was thinking earlier today that I can't do this because I did my very first post about Bastille, but then I remembered, it's my own darn blog and I can do whatever I want. I am still obsessed with Bastille and there is nothing that can stop me. I like this song a lot and you should listen to it. Yes, I mean you!


I chose to do a sugar skull because of the line "a match is our only light, it's day of the dead, I'm Indiana Jones here" and also I really like what sugar skulls look like. It's lovely when two things you love come together and make something even better.

Well that's it for today.

Triangles are my favourite shape

Bonjour!

By the title of this blog post you might think that I am going to talk about my favourite geometric shape, but that is not the case! Although I do love triangles and both of my pieces for my sculpture class are made up of only triangles....  Anyways, I'm going to talk about one of my favourite bands! Alt-J! Hip hip hooray! They are a band from Leeds, England and they play weird, alternative, experimental music that is wonderful. The lead singer, Joe Newman, doesn't really sound like he is saying actual words so singing along is kind of difficult. I went to an Alt-J concert and my friend Kira has a hilarious video of the audience trying to sing along with the songs and failing miserably. It was such an awesome concert though. It was raining and thundering and lightninging which made everything feel very dramatic. Also I should mention that the alt-j is the keyboard shortcut for the delta symbol, which is a triangle.


This is actually just a page from my sketchbook while I was listening to an Alt-J concert on youtube. It's not particularly clear that it is about Alt-J, but the intention was there!
