Flâneur: A Doodle


For the past week I've had no internet at home. The stormy weather broke some cable for signal on our roof and we had to wait a whole week until an engineer could come out to fix it. Thankfully I was able to abuse avail of the wifi in college everyday which meant I was able to go on various social networking sites and not go completely mad or lose my will to live. Long story short, I'm only getting a chance to post on here now.
I decided to share this drawing I did in promarkers, I just did it in my sketchbook for fun one evening but I quite like how it turned out. I started a new module on Monday called psychology of space, it's basically about how we interact with our environment. I picked it because it was quite different to anything I get to do in my course normally and I thought it would be interesting and also quite useful for a designer/artist to know some of the things we will be covering. During my first lecture I came across the word 'Flaneur' which comes from the french word 'Flâneur' which I believe means 'stroller' or someone who wanders aimlessly. Correct me if I'm wrong, I did German in school so I probably make no sense! It's good to be back in college after a really long break. I got my results from last semester emailed to me today, I passed all my coursework which I'm delighted about. Calls for celebratory chocolate me thinks.

I'm trying to organize my first ever giveaway for next week. Hopefully I'll have decided on something and it will be up just in time for valentines day! (because I luff you) It'll only be something small as I am a poor little student at the moment :(
