Nightrider London!

So, for my next blog post, I decided to write about the London Nightrider! On Saturday, a cycling event took place in London. Nightrider is a 100km bike ride that starts in Crystal Palace, London, and ends in Crystal Palace. It is held during the night, and started at midnight and it is a charity event that you can choose your charity! I decided to post about this because my grandad did it for JDRF, the charity for children with Type 1 Diabetes, that I posted about in the first post. Here is the JDRF page: http://www.jdrf.org.uk/ Here are some pics!

The crowds in Crystal Palace! 

The awesome medal! 

Wow, so many bikes! 

If you want to find out more about the event, and the next one, then here is the link: http://www.nightrider.org.uk/Night_Rider_London.htm 

I would also like to say how proud I am of my grandad, and how hard he had to train! If you would like to donate on his Justgiving page, then here is the page: http://www.justgiving.com/richardjwilkes 

And, now to add a bit of fashion!

Londons Southbank!

So, yesterday I went to London's Southbank for a day out. As we were wondering around, we came across a exhibition of artwork from Beano comics, called Beanotown. It has a cafe, shop, free art activities and loads of cool stuff to do. If you are interested, here is the link to the website: http://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/whatson/festivals-series/festival-of-neighbourhood/beanotown

Here are some fun pics of me and my family! 

My brother and me looking silly! 

Relaxing on the bean bags. 

There is even free ping pong! 

Loving the cushions! 

The shop. 

Definitely worthwhile! After Beanotown, we wandered round the food market. 

  What a lovely view! 

The Royal Festival Hall. 

I really like this piece of artwork! 

We didn't end the day in the southbank there! Afterwards we went on the London Eye and the Udderbelly festival. The Udderbelly is a festival that goes on every year and features plays and concerts  and numerous food stalls and pubs. We didn't go there for a performance, but it was nice for a drink. 

I liked this sign on one of the pubs! Here is the website link from Udderbelly: https://www.underbelly.co.uk/udderbelly-festival-at-southbank-centre

Now, this is the view from the London Eye. Amazing!

I'm sorry burgundy converse, I just had to wear my Wonder Woman ones instead! :(

Converse!

n

Firstly, I'm sorry for the late post, I have just been so busy! Anyway, seeing as converse are my fave shoes, and my blog is named after these amazeboz shoes, I decided I just have to do a blog post on them. I have four pairs of converse, (and plan to add to the selection!) but here are some I found and like: 

OMG! These are totally awesome! I don't know where they are from, soz, but I just love the aztec print, perfect for the latest style. Definitely on my shopping list!

I am loving these tie dye wonders! The effect of the colours really go well with each other. 

$65.00 from Hypebeast ( sorry, the computer I am using doesn't have a pound sign) 

  I don't know about anyone else, but I love Batman, and it looks especially cool when in shoes! 

Amazon $59.00 

These are sooo awesome!!! I love the galaxy print, but unfortunately, I'm not sure where they are from! But hopefully, I will find them one day... 

Recognise these anyone... These burgundy converse are from Amazon for $60.00

And now I thought I would show you some celebs that rock converse:

Kristen Stewart, I am loving your outfit! The converse just bring all together. 

Here is Miley Cyrus, also rocking the converse. I especially like her bag! 

Kristen wearing converse again! She must love converse more than than R-patz... 

Just one more thing,

Ciara Phelan Homework Continued!

As I said, I am going to post about my finished artwork. I added a few more things to make it better, but here you go! 

I used a lime slice for a crescent moon, a book page for the clouds, cut up pieces of greenery for the grass, a pic of jeans for the sky and a pic of a golden statue for the background. Also, a pic of a building in San Francisco! Hopefully, it looks a little like the example I put in the last post!

Ciara Phelan Homework!

This piece of art here is by Ciara Phelan (read the title!). Your probably wondering why I'm doing a post on art, not fashion, (soz guys!) but I just wanted to express my fondness of this artist. I came across her art because of a school course thing I am doing. A small number of students from my school, including me, were chosen to do an extra, early-entry GCSE in Art Illustration (GCSEs  are exams we do here in England at the end of school). Hopefully, this will help me towards my job, as I want to be a photographer (and journalist). Anyway, we were given homework on Ciara Phelan, and have to do a collage based on her work. I haven't finished mine yet, but here is my unfinished work, based on the above piece of art: 

What do you think? Let me know:) 

  

Now for the bit where I tell you a bit about Ciara! Ciara has been a freelance illustrator and paper craft artist since 2008, working from Open in North London. She graduated from studying graphic design at Brighton University. At first she worked as a junior for IWANT design, a small creative company. 

In 2010, Ciara set up a freelance company so she could work on her own visual language and image making skills. In 2011, she co-founded a new venture called Many Hands, which is a new online store offering customers to the chance to buy exciting contemporary prints and products straight from the artists. She is now a popular artist working freelance. 

Thats all for today, I will post my finished piece of art tomorrow.
