Here is one lonely paint-thingie I made:
( A bird! )

*single tear*



I am so jealous of Europe right now.


((THEY COVERED POKER FACE. AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH. I spent a good portion of Monday night, shouting, "CAN'T READ MY CAN'T READ MY CAN'T READ MY POKER FACE!" and "IT'S IT. WHAT IS IT?". I think it was a sign.))

Public Service Announcement time!!

This fine piece o' work* here:


scored the soundtrack for this "movie" here:


Yes, the movie was terrible, I didn't expect anything other than that. BUT IT SOUNDED AWESOME.

I have been listening to the soundtrack for like a month now, but have been too lazy to update or mention it.

Oh oh. Listen to these folks**, too. I'm pretty sure I mentioned them a few entries back, but here is a nice picture to accompany my message.



*This is Mike Patton.
**This is Foxy Shazam! and The Grates


And here's a really hot model I just came across. ( Mia Tyler )

I really miss blogging for the sake of blogging. Not like I ever made any entries that were particularly interesting, but whatever. Since my writing skills have regressed back to primitive sentences, I'll just leave my thoughts in bullet form.

Since summer is upon us, I have slightly more free time on my hands. Not wanting to get a second job, or spend ridiculous amounts of money, I decided it would be nice to make copious amounts of space-wasting art. ( Some Ideas )

-I'm also under the delusion that I'll be going back to the Met over the summer. I would love to bring a sketchbook this time. Nnnnnnf.


-June starts tomorrow! I'm getting my tattoo touched up sometime this week. There is only like, one teeny, tiny spot that faded, but I just want to feel the needle again. I'm also too poor to get another one, so this will have to do for now. Free things are always nice.

-I have seen far too many cold nights. What the hell, weather? I saw a freeze warning for tonight! Grrr.

I really need to learn how to shoot my bigger works. For a moment there, I was expecting I could dump all the life drawings I did from last semester up here, and it would be totally glorious. That's when I remembered all of them are 18x24. I had to scan one piece in portions for Graphics Class, since my camera is terrible, and it was horrible. Blah.
That being said, some blurry camera pics may surface up in the future, or nicely scanned PORTIONS of larger pieces. Either way, I had a lot of fun in my drawing class, and with 2 of the 3 projects in Advanced Graphics. I could of gotten a lot more out of my Independent Study if I had more faith in myself as a sculptor. I'm convinced it is not my forte at all, but then my Professor would be all, "Blah blah you should be majoring in 3D things, blah blah blah, You have skill".

Well. I did steal a fair amount of plasticine and clay from the school, so if the mood strikes, I suppose I could play with it over the summer.

All that being said, here is the ONE thing I pulled from my sketchbook that wasn't thumbnails, and is totally irrelevant. ( Jackie O )

Also, my Mike Patton portrait. At times he is my pride and joy. Moments later, I want to punch a hole right through it. ( Mostly because is lower body is all gesture-y and unformed. )


There is also the exciting topic of Adam Lambert. I don't care what show he was on, that boy has an incredible voice on him. Frankly, I think it might be more advantageous that he didn't win American Idol, since he'll have more options open to him, rather than their stupid, rigid contract. For the record, I had never heard him sing until tonight. Two hours before the finale aired, Colin got me up to speed with his trusty DVR. He won me over quite quickly.

EDIT: Random Artist Appreciation Time: When it came to Peter Max, I was only familiar with the works he did in the 60's, until today. The things he did beyond that are INCREDIBLE.

TWO DAYS TWO DAYS AHHHHHHH~ http://www.myspace.com/devintownsenddtb

Last time I was planning on getting a CD on opening day, it was ETID's "Gutter Phenomenon". That was sooooo long ago.


Don't let me down, D Townnie. My expectations are super high for this CD.



Oh...I have some sketches to scan and put up here eventually.

EDIT: The Gossip's new CD comes out in June, and I am also excited about this, but June is SO FAR AWAY.

Oh oh, where to begin? The semester is winding down, and I can't see myself going to graduation. Not because I'm failing or anything, I just hate those sort of things. Pssh. Not too upset about that.

Other than that, here are some fun things I have been up to lately:

-The Student Art show was last Friday, and I received an Honorable Mention for one of the drawings I submitted, and some Academic Achievement Award in Advanced Drawing, so yay. The show itself was at the Phelps Mansion this year, instead of Brunelli's, which kind of put me off, just because the latter is smack in the middle of the Art Walk, as opposed to the Mansion, which is a million and one blocks out of the way. However, I'd never been inside the Phelps Mansion, and it is really pretty. I wouldn't mind snooping around it again (along with Roberson) one of these days.

-I am really enjoying my Graphics and Drawing projects as of right now. (Despite being a crap painter) Sculpture Indie Study, conversely, can eat me. I think we're solid on the fact that I am terrible at sculpting, and just three weeks ago I realized it would of been FAR more interesting to make dimensional illustrations this whole time. I can't remember if I mentioned that before the semester started or not, and it was just turned down, but whatever. I would of had way more fun with that than I do with making half-assed little people. /bitch>

-I learned Foxy Shazam! is pretty feckin' amazing. (Amelia, I had listened to
"Ghost Animals" after you put in on my lappy, but I think what happened was something shiny caught my eye, and I went running after that for a while. You know how it goes.)

-Did I ever mention I went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art? ( Holy hell, I did not! )

I could ramble on some more, but I'll just wrap this up with, "I hope summer treats me well".

That's how I help the environment. Or whatever the question was.

I WANT TO PLAAAAAAAAY.

Aw shit, dude. I love this sort of question.

I might have to go with The Soviettes's "Roller Girls
It's short, it comes at you with a lot of energy, it has a fun feel overall, and at one point, the listener might go, "What the hell is going on?".
"Move your ass, or I'll crush your face."/"BRING IT BITCH!"/"C'MONNNN!!"

Once or twice Rebekah and I have shouted that to each other.
