bored in the barrel

Was shorter than it was supposed to be by a smidge, I think. It still wasn’t fun, though. I’m not big on flying, I’ve decided. There are plenty of things I could say which wouldn’t necessarily be terribly nice, so for now I’ll keep my mouth shut. Otto’s sisters were pretty [...]

eww… a bug of some sort just crawled across my keys.
Anywho… I thought I was done with my latest painting. I handed it in yesterday, and today we critiqued the lot of them (the class’s). There were, of course, a couple of suggestions for improving the problem areas. So, hopefully before we [...]

I can certainly enjoy.
cock soup
mm mm good.

Tomorrow is my last day of class. I’m glad and bummed at the same time. It’s been nice having a large block of time set aside every day to work. However, it was hard… I stand a lot and the floors are concrete. The time was a bit long, a 4 [...]

I’m not sure why I can’t ever seem to consistently work on something till it’s finished. It’s this weird thing with me where I’ll start out and put in a lot of time and effort and get a large percentage done, and then stop and not finish something till I have no more time [...]

Pic of the new graffiti outside the art studio at school.

The dude is kinda cute, if you ask me. heh.

That’s how long I spent painting. About a 15 minute break in my 4.5 hour day, and the rest of the time was spent painting. I went into class with a 48×36 primed piece of stretched linen. I left with this.

So far I’m fairly happy. The finished product will have more [...]

I’m honestly a bit worried about my next project. It’s due tuesday, and I’m starting today. It’s 4′x3′ on linen, and it’s looking like a big job. It’ll be a lot of work over the weekend, and so far I’ve been notoriously lazy on the weekends. So, I’ve got to buckle [...]

For the rest of the day. Awesome!
Imperial March
must… get… painting….

I’ve decided what would be a cool special ability that still has that regular old “down to earth” quality that my flying special ability wish lacks. Heat resistance. Better yet would be heat immunity, but I’ll take resistance all the same.
Not only would it be a boon in saving my clothes from being [...]

Gimme a dollar!
I know, I know… it’s probably been seen. But considering I’ve had it pointed out to me a couple times already, I’d thought I blog about it. I think the part that was the funniest was that the joint was made from a couple dollar bills. That’s just the kind [...]

A heart warming story about the bond formed between a
little girl and some construction workers. This will
make you believe that we CAN make a difference when
we give a child the gift of our time.
A young family moved into a house next door to a vacant
lot. One day, a construction crew came in and began
building a [...]

I love the corrupting of all things innocent… I love the smell of dirty in the morning… I… I love Bears in Cars…

I gots me a new easel. It’s not the bestest easel in the world, that one was nearly a grand, but damn would it hold some big fukkin pieces. But, it’s pretty nifty. It’s normally something like $200 list, $100 at Jerry’s where I got it, and on sale for $60. [...]

And in finally reading the email I got a month ago from my yoga instructor there was a wonderful quote that should be referred to often by people (like me) who are often far too humble because of worrying about the feelings of inadequacy in others.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. [...]

The oddity of making art. At times, it’s really frustrating… but never (well, almost never) to the point of flinging the item across the room in a fit of disgust. Making art is actually rather calming for me. Maybe that’s why I’ve mellowed over the last couple years. My increased effort [...]

I do spend a decent amount of time examining where I am in life, on my path toward my inevitable demise… looking at how I’m doing. It’s weird, from a certain perspective. Weird, as in I don’t think I really would have been ok with who/what/where I am when I was younger. [...]

Because monkeys are awesome…. jwz - Monkeys Taught Game Theory, Whoreing.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen Otto laugh this much. heh.

Finally got the crap together that I needed to register for classes. They’ve switched the system and basically it’s a total pain in the ass now… but whatever. I am only on campus monday and wednesday (although 9-5), with a 2 hour midday break and one class online. 13 hours… taking Design, [...]

(Why the FUCK is Q so damn close to A. It’s VERY fucking frustrating to try to apple-A to then spell check and then to hit Q instead. EVERYTHING I had open GONE. ARGHGHHH!!!)
So I’ve been painting a LOT lately… and yet not enough. I have a set of paintings and [...]
