Started this painting long ago and just finished it. It's so much better in person. I had a hard time finding the right lighting that the camera would work with. I kind of wish that I had finished it sooner.

this is just fantastical. this website shows off awesome things. http://sweet-station.com
Doodle. I didn't really pay that much attn to the photoshopping of it so I just magic-wand'ed it.
I had this idea for a painting since the summer and although this is not what I intended the result to look like, I still like it. My mother and I went to the local theatre player's club which showed "Doubt" and it was funny because there was this couple of elderly ladies who were so just out there, such an odd couple. This is not them, by any means but whatev, you know?
I may reuse this idea in the future and hopefully come up with something completely different and outrageous. I'm searching for a quality of "holy cow" instead of "cool" so that will probably take a while to figure out. I also played with the idea of adding some components in a sort of collage effort but rejected it in this particular painting. However, that is an option that I will keep open.
Mod Podge is my new best friend and I have pictures of a table done with it in the near future appearing on here.
Currently listening to "Lady Don't Mind" by Talking Heads.

I like this version of this song which is not saying much other than I like these people and they made this song enticing. And makes me want to march.
Long ago, I decided that iTunes was not the way to do music. Sure, it's dumbed down enough that everybody can use it but it limits people too much. I have also tried Winamp Pro but that got old really, really fast. For some reason, there are a lot of bugs even though it is like an official way to listen to music. Maybe not official but legitimate.

Just a doodle I started today and finished tonight. Maleficent to come soon as another female Disney villain although she would've been done today if the school computers hadn't been so slow that I probably could have run a mile in the time that it actually loaded a google images page. And that's saying something! lol
Disney villains. In my mind, they are predominantly male but then last night, as I listened to a part of the song between Ariel and Ursula in the Little Mermaid, I had the need to draw Ursula. And that made me think of other female villains in Disney movies because it seems like they are few and far between. Upon further research, aka just typing in Female Disney Villains into Google, I saw that it is pretty balanced, if only slightly in favor of more males than females.

I sketched out the figures while reading a book about Russia. I don't know how much that influenced it but I would think it did.
The time is 11:34.

I like the busy-ness factor of this one. I intend to expand on this at some point but it all depends on how much free time I have this coming school year.
The colors seem a bit brighter here than in reality.

Aren't bubbles so much better than balloons?

When will The Arcade Fire release a new album? I'm eagerly awaiting it. Ever since Funeral, which my friend Jenn recommended to me, I have loved them. I think it's a combination of the different instruments.
Also eagerly awaiting the new Muse album, which even though it is a little overly keen on the Queen homage is still something to want.
I have spent the better part of 2 hours cleaning up my mp3 player and getting rid of duplicate songs. I sincerely hope that I can press the random button and hear a song that I like, every single time. Putting a book-on-cd on my mp3 player is dangerous because then I end up listening to Chapter 3 of Diary by Chuck P.
I added a whole bunch of music recently, mostly "Balkan Beats," that I got. It's pretty awesome but I need breaks in between. lol.

Acrylic on canvas, 16 by 20 inches. This is all a learning experience, I think.
Don't be a fool, fool.
My prisma markers are unfortunately running out so I will be drawing
less and painting more. Going to go mad in the next few days by
painting a whole bunch of small paintings that my art agent can sell.
She has charm, wit, and an accent that will be drawing many of us in
when District 9 comes out. Also, she has the ability to see the
future. She can make tea for you before you have realized that you
want tea AND her eyes are closed whilst making it. She's a handy
woman, doesn't even scald herself.
Trying to figure the logistics of painting a life-size Obelix in a
bathroom, with Dogmatix in his hand. Thrilling!
This was the super duper awesome weekend where I got to experiment on someone's (aka my friend Sarah's) wall. You should all follow her on twitter, @anarchybrown. She is one of the smartest people I know and this is proved by the fact that she wanted a mural on her wall, even though she is renting the apartment lol
Here you can see the workspace and the octopus with it's lines and face. The face took a lot of deciding on Sarah's part. At the end, it was just under 6ft by 8ft. You can't see the intense disco ball so well in this picture but let me tell you, it is intense. Intense like that first sour warhead that you eat when you haven't had one in a long time and it makes you turn into a puddle because it is just that intense.
I totally saw this coming. Beer solves all problems, I mean, that's what people tell me and I believe them.
I will skip past the more "technical" stuff for those un-savvy of you who do not even know what a DSi is and onto what the picture is that I have drawn. It is interesting to me how Colors! for the R4 for the DSi works because I am not particularly a fan of using a tablet in order to get things done. My brother, Josh, has done more with his tablet but abandoned it because of some functional issues. Plus, his computer is too full on whatever watermelon with feta cheese it found.
Ever heard that song Crippling Blow by The Killers? Well it's stuck in my head. They say that to remedy that awful situation (of having a song stuck in your head, clawing your eyes out) is to listen to complex music. And what better complex music than Johann Strauss? I also like Florence and the Machine (she's big in London, get with it America!).

The Rubix Cube has confounded us for years. Maybe the sandwich version of this puzzling brain teaser will do the same. The Rubix Cubewich contains cubes of pastrami, kielbasa, pork fat, salami, and two types of cheddar.

Micro-organ and drum-kit in a Tic Tac box
This tiny box will give you hours of fun composing your own tunes. You can vary the tune tempo and switch between a pentatonic and blues scale as well as producing a variety of percussion sounds.
Load up a different program and it will compose its own percussion rhythms(Tic Tac Beat Box) or play with half a dozen different musical scales (Tic Tac Scales). Another cool feature is no power switch - It will hibernate when it's not being used.
There are great musicians around . . . and then there's me with no musical talent at all, but even I can get some great sounding tunes out of this. Watch the video and have a listen to the MP3 files to get an idea of what this little marvel can do.
I want someone to make this for me. lol
