Things again

I'm going to say most of the time I don't know what I'm doing. This is little exception.
I wonder how many images I can upload to blogger before it gets angry with me. Hopefully a lot.

I think I just have to accept that I make artwork that people need to understand like they understand blues music.

I like skull faces and sad faces and making drawings and putting random words with them that would probably depress most people. But it makes me happy, in a pleasant calm way. I changed the way the blog looks to this fishbones thing. Its pretty nifty.

Might get this place going again. Its part of the plan.

The words should have said "Imagine if I could just sleep life away" instead of how it reads here, but my brain had skipped town. It still sort of works.

I kind of want to make the rats saying all sorts of things like "F you, this is my purse. A-hole." I should go make a lunch for work though. boo.

blah blah blah -blah -blah ...blah.

[rats were drawn in a sketch book w/ ball point pen and then cut out and glued to the paper. The card is 4.5x6.5in. The saying is written straight on the card. I may do more to this later with ink or paint.]

Thanks!

The artist's way blog won't let me post on it anymore, but I know some people watch this blog (which I kind of abandoned, sorry). But I did want to say thank you for the birthday wishes!!!

I have a scanner on the way that should get here tomorrow and I'm super excited to be able to scan things again. Hopefully it will play nice with windows 7 and I can scan to my hearts content.

Been block printing things. I like the carving part more than the printing part though, so my runs have been pretty small. The goal is to get something like an etsy shop or a bigcartel shop running in tandom with a blog/website. But all that requires time and figuring things out so it might be a while still. And I have to get my mom's site up and running before anything. Cause that would be nice!

the weather is fantastic I broke out the "short pants" they are crop pants or whatever, capri? something. They are just clam diggers on me because I'm short, but oh well its not jeans.

off to see that new dragon movie soon :D

today's stuff

one nice thing about having time off is I have all kinds of free time to get bored and draw.

I've been feeling crappy all day. Of course on my day off.
Need to start my third scarf and watch more tv on dvd I guess.

Never ate lunch and I'm so hungry but apparently at some point there will be dinner?

card front

More that people may or maynot be able to see. Eventually I'll make a wordpress or something and just copy it over here.

want to make a christmas card out of this but I have few people to send it to. I want to put fancy font words with it, but I don't know that it will work. I printed it out down stairs and have been too lazy to go look...

I used a brush in photoshop to get this effect. Its not great painting or anything. But it is the beginning to the 100 words thing as well as the story that came out of it. Nothing is really happeneing though in the story so I don't know what will really come of it.

*I do not know why sometimes these don't load in internet explorer but I went back through everything IN internet explorer and only one thing didn't load other than this and I know I've had problems more than once before. So either it will eventually show up or it won't. It won't even let me link to it.

project

I found this one someone's journal on deviant art. I've seen it before and I've been wanting to do it. I'm not posting every day like I wanted. I'm still sketching things, but not posting them.

Having a hard time just going on my comic thing. I think I need to spend some time just writing out the story so I don't have to think of the story and how to lay it out at the same time.

we shall see.
