The rules to always being a Lady/ Gentleman

I have already posted the gentlemen version of this but, I didn't realise their was a female version. Here are both of them together.

Rupert Friend

I really like Rupert Friend in "The Young Victoria" I think he looks really dashing. However I only think he's good looking when he's wearing Victorian clothes. I just have a thing for Victorian men, each to their own. ;D

Final art module

I have started my final art section and I'm on the second part of it. This means I have to create loads of ideas and use lots of different materials. The main theme I'm doing is using dripping paint, but I will also be doing Victorian based pictures. These are some of my early pieces.

This an acrylic painting using the dripping technique of this picture:

This is an evil clown (I was in a strange mood) painted using inks.

This was supposed to be a burning heart but the flames didn't go well, also in ink, I think that I should use paint instead.

This is a quick sketch of a Victorian couple dancing.

This is a quick sketch of Rupert Friend as Prince Albert, this picture:

Dreamy Men

I've been looking at my statistics lately and it is clear that the public like looking at pictures of sexy men. (well why not) I actually find this quite funny :D It's not hard to understand why this is, as they say "sex sells". I mean what would you rather look at?

This?

Or this?

As cute as the beauty and the beast picture is I know which one I would rather look at ;D

I'm not saying that people on the internet only care about looking at hot men, I would be a bit of a hypocrite to say so as I'm posting the pictures. This post is just me acknowledging what my viewers prefer to see however, that doesn't mean i'm just going to post hot men because that's not the aim of the blog. The aim is to post the things I really like, it just so happens that most of the time those things are sexy men, but whatever. Here's to you lustful viewers hahaha! :D:D:D

Underground Chapel

The Chapel of St Kinga Wieliczka Salt Mine Poland

Before going down into the dark, many miners pray. (So would you.) It’s not uncommon for them to build chapels in the caverns they create, and the workers in this Polish salt mine took that task seriously, carving a 10,400-square-foot chapel into the crystalline walls. Józef Markowski started work on this particular chamber in 1896, handing it off to his brother Tomasz in 1920. Nearly everything in the room—from the chandeliers to the bas-reliefs—is carved out of rock salt. Wieliczka, which was a working mine from the 13th century until 1996, holds some 2,000 excavation chambers on nine underground levels, many decorated by miners with carvings and chapels dedicated to saints—and to those who lost their lives digging salt out of the earth.
