Back

I've been absent. Pshh I never followed through with the art a day, but after-all at least I finished this painting. It didn't come out like I wanted to, but practice makes perfect. Well, here it is. Later!

this is good

one a week

I guess I'll do more detailed pieces, so one a week, instead of one a day, or twice a week. I'll just keep them coming.

Kinda sorta

Well, as promised here is some progress of what I'm working on. It's self explanatory.

7.11.2009

:(

I started late for today, I do have progress, but no worthy enough to post. I have to work tomorrow from 1-6pm so hopefully i'll catch up as soon as I get back. I had to do stuff around the house. but hopefully this one turns out good!

Oh boy.

Well, here is my submission for the day.
It is titled "Hierarchy"
Photobucket
It was created with watercolor and ink. This piece presented a few challenges, due to my lack of art supplies. I need to buy watercolor paper and maybe a better watercolor palette. The paper started to disintegrate because it couldn't withstand all the water I saturated it with, but it survived. I think I will vector it soon. I was thinking about how awesome lions are, and what if they were super tame and cute. A con to that idea is that their awesomeness would be no more, because then they could be bossed around and they wouldn't symbolize what they do; power, strength, etc. That's why I put that little boy in there and he's also carrying a baby alligator. I dreamt about baby alligators last night. Haha. Well, Thanks and goodnight. If you want to see a bigger version, go to my flickr. The link is under GOOD LINKS. :D!

Everyday

Inspired by Cody's song a day endeavor, I have decided to embark on an artistic journey. I will create one piece of "Art" everyday, and it will be loaded on my flickr, here and deviant. No matter how crappy it is. I will explain what inspired me and what media it was created with. Of course, I doubt they will be super elaborate since I only have a few hours to make each one, or maybe if I do decide to work on one for more than a day, I will post my progress.

This one is titled: Crappy Pandas.
Why? Cause they are kind of crappy, but its ok, they are colorful happy pandas so that downplays their crappiness.
Photobucket
Media: Watercolor, Ink.
What inspired me was, I was playing around with my watercolors and started with the abstract background. I added the pandas because they are cute and they would complement the abstract background with their representational nature.
Alright. I hope you like it. If you have feedback, comment please. Thank you and goodnight.

As the battery on my laptop wastes away; I am rummaging through it searching for the many images that leave an indelible mark in my head.
...and now I will post them. I hope you enjoy them.
Also, this summer will be amazing.

sammie overload

Yup, I'm 21 that's about the only exiting thing that's happened these past few weeks.

There is a rumbly in my tummy.

Change: Modify,Transfigure, Reorder, Adjust, Transform.

It's a bit difficult to fathom how we are so accustomed to everything in our life even though change is present everyday and things can change drastically in a matter of seconds. I expect tomorrow to be just a normal day. That is far from the case. Try to notice everything, you'll notice things that may seem insignificant are a step towards something grand or detrimental. Tommorow will be vastly different from today, as Heraclitus said "The only constant is change."
My father is suffering from Bell's Palsy, talk about sudden change. He's really bummed out about it. He told me in a despondent tone "It's not easy to wake up and see that half of your face is crooked and paralyzed." What irks him more is that it's another facial imperfection he has to deal with on top of his existing port wine birthmark that covers the left side of his face. I'm trying to cheer him up (probably failing at it) by helping him with chores around the house and such. I hate seeing him so sad. On a good note his prognosis is positive, 70% of people affected with bell's recover fully. Hopefully he will regain movement in his face soon.

My first day at work was on monday and so far it seems alright, I need to learn how to deal with customers more. I feel it a bit shaky in that area. I will get used to it, and hopefully i'll be an exemplary and efficient associate! not... I don't want to be allllll about Banana Republic like my manager Kim seems to be. I will try not to become a prisoner of how many Banana cards I sold in a day and how many people I convinced to buy hideous burgundy pants that "look good" on them, j/k I'm not that mean.
I do like my employee discount, they hooked me there!

Here I go.

A Slight Odour of Engine Exhaust

It smells a little like turkey leg.
It smells a bit frosty.
It smells like dreams.
It smells like order.
It smells a little bit like responsibility.
It smells like a little bit of restlessness.
It smells like good times are coming.
It smells a little bit like music.
It smells like rotten meat!!!!
It smells a little bit like Tide and Dove.
It smells like Marc Jacobs...Daisy.
It smells a little intangible.
no! It smells like...I can handle it.

WHY AM I SO DAMN SLEEPY!!!!! I DON'T NEED SLEEP!!!!!!!!!!

wait wait wait...

Let me divulge all of my aimless feelings and secrets on here. READY SET GO!
hehehe. I already got one of them down.

2.20.2009

I feel like throwing up.

Twelve days after my last update, absolutely nothing exiting has occurred. Except this

Also, I have to go to a Banana Republic interview in 30 minutes. I'm not being optimistic, just because today I don't feel like it. Who knows if I will get the job.
Students on Saving.... AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
*edit*
The interview was alright, I have a second one on monday, then I will know...dun dun dun.... I still feel gross.
*I'm actually optimistic.*

What is Unknown

I just saw "Hannah Montana: The Movie" trailer on disney channel, and I am bewildered. It is so weird to see the Hannah Montana cast filmed with superior cameras and outside of a studio... I don't like it. I'm not too crazy about the show anyways. Cute and campy certainly get old when you watch marathons of it with your sister.
I should get sick, everyone else is sick, I want to fit in. Why is it so warm outside? I'm really sleepy while typing this ohhh my...*yawns* There's a few things I have to remember. I have to make it a habit to pinch my nose and check if I am dreaming. If I do it on a regular basis my brain will be trained so whenever I AM dreaming, my habit will kick in and I can pinch my nose and realize I am, and then have a lucid dream. Oh the joy I will feel when I finally have one.
It'd be cool to go here

I would deviate from the tour and sit on top of stairs that lead to nowhere, then sulk about my life and how it parallels those stairs. I will open a door that leads to nowhere and think how nothing leads to certainty. Haha what a depressing rant!! In all seriousness though, I would like to go see that oddity of a house.
I love the fact that for every choice you make, there are an infinite of choices you did not make.
Broken Social scene this past monday was so good, I enjoyed every second of it. It was a longgg show. My feet felt the time, but otherwise it was amazing. I miss a boy. Well goodnight I am very very sleepy.

ENVY

Tread on Rocks

This past week my heart galloped incessantly like a horse going thirty seven miles an hour. The former one hundred and sixty eight hours of my life consisted of "I Don't Know/ WTF is going on/ :D/ sing sing/ drive drive". I liked it, though I feel like there is some slight hostility from certain individuals, which makes me kind of sad. I dislike it when people are not happy, but thats something I have to learn to get over...
Participating in Guinan's got Talent was pretty freaking cool. I thought I was going to go into atrial fibrillation while on stage, but completing the performance felt liberating in some way. It has been a while since I performed in front of a substantial amount of people. It was also kind of like Lastra's first gig?
I also purchased more awesome 78's on Friday, one of them didn't make it. It was broken by the time I got home. The remaining three are beautiful and whenever they start playing the slight crackling and popping of the records accompanied by the nostalgic vocals make me hop around the room and twirl around in circles in momentary bliss.
Broken Social Scene on Monday night should be great.
2 am is a good time.
goodnight.
