There’s really no middle ground with you

“Either you don’t care at all or you care a hundred and crazy percent.”

“WHAT ELSE IS THERE? … Now saddle up and say goodbye to common sense =D”

I miss Better Off Ted.

And I started making ACEO-type art again, this time something dark and twisty with one of those weird up-nose angles that makes people look pig-like. Inspiration? Old auto-portrait photo, nostrils aflare. And my spellchecker just informed me that aflare isn’t a word… Looksee:

Title: Mouthful, Status: In Progress, Size: 3.5″ x 2.5″, Medium: Pencil/Pen/Paper, Genre: Twisty

if’n you ever wanna know…

Been a long time since I’ve tried to make anything, missed it but my fingers are rebelling now.

Recently spent a fortune on new art supplies and did a bad, bad thing – painted, in bed. Hah;

More cardboard, filled this with marker-inkings and covered the girl in chalk pastels, which was a mistake… by more than you know. I hate chalk with a passion, why I decided to use them is way past me at this point. Rubbed those away and started smudging her face with wet acrylics.

Cardboard texture… sometimes it works, other times, it’s like riding along on those incredibly bumpy back roads. Thinking we’ll add in some cosmos, some mythological references… lots of astrological goodness with aliens and tractors and stuff~~ flash vs. yellowfied-non-flash:

good morning heartache, what’s new?

still no luck, but I’ll confess – I’m loving the monkey bones:

attempting art that involves bone-like things… going back to near-gothic roots is a little intimidating. so far, it’s looking more quirky than gothic:

color and other ideas tomorrow

‘I believe in music the way that some people believe in fairy tales’

august rush, a simple play on a classic story with a taste for all things music. not a bad combo, plus – guitar slapping… reminds me of two things:

1.) “Slap Her, She’s French”

2.) The Silent Fool by Eric Mongrain:

‘for realistic objects interlaced’ - pale fire

books are a theme this week… though the subject leans more in the asp php whatchamacallit direction lately. not quite as fun, you know, unless asp and php somehow hook up through a mutual scripting friend only to fall madly in and out of love for several years until one day, after many bad jokes relating to language errors and financial mishaps involving a flash based monkey widget invoking the ‘blue screen of death’ – they stage an online bank heist and put the money towards developing a magical new framework where they both live happily ever after (which would most likely include several odd years of therapeutic debugging).

it could be a dramedy. O_o;

I’m such a nerd. *sigh*

‘In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life:
it goes on’

and on and on and on and on…
