Been a while, hasn't it? Well here's what I did this weeked:
48hr film project
I think maybe you should watch it.

omg, all of you. ALL OF YOU. Even the ones I don't really know in real life (especially those ones) WATCH THIS. watch it.

k thnx bai.

since I posted an actual drawing. the start of a photoshop painting.

so I had to split it up between two days because paint does not dry nearly fast enough but here they are completed:







Owls! so yeah I like em. They match things and are cute. Also yesterday I had the guys over for Brinner (breakfast for dinner) and it was ridiculously yummy. I ate way too much. Here are some highlights:



Yes those are hello kitty waffles and they were fucking AWESOME okay? Bannas in waffles = amazing.



Me and Tu were arguing over whether to make toad-in-a-hole's or just scrambled eggs. Then Eddie chimes in that he would like BOTH. So both were made. The toad-in-a-hole's are the pieces of toast with an egg in the middle.
Some action shots:


Brandon!


Eddie!


Tu!


Jason!


aaaand gone....

We watched breakfast club during the meal and rounded off the evening with some rockband and the creation of jello shots for Allans party (today). All in all a pretty rad evening.

Today's goal is to get some paintings done. Here is a quick photoshop layout of the painting Im gonna do for above the couch in my living room.

so far my theme has been birds. I just like painting trees really...but it never feels like a finished piece if there isn't an actual subject to focus on. so there you go.
I've also got an underwater scene I wanna paint of a designy jellyfish. In pinks/turqoise/tan of course. That ones for the bedroom, maybe Ill rough it out later.

So yesterday I finished installing the shelves I bought (so many hastles, shelves should be easier than this!) but they look awesome so it was worth all the effort. Check it, ya'll.

They aren't crooked I'm just really bad at taking pictures.
Also I did a painting sunday to hang in my room...the theme in there now seems to be pink/turquoise/yellow + black and white I think I subconsciously chose everything to match my princess peach wall art. hahaha

And finally, in between folding laundry and dishes I managed to make my first ever home-made pot pie and it was really yummy. I snapped a few pictures before I dove in cause it was also really pretty!


I have decided that I would like to quit my job and become a full time housewife, takers? No, kidding for serious. I would die of boredom. There are only so many chores you can do before you are like: you know what? I would really like a baby to clean up after. A baby would mess this place up something awesome. And yeah, really not ready for all that jazz. Tangent ended!

Recently I got to hang out with my buddies Vinnessa and Zach, wednesday we picked up some neat cupcakes from a cute cupcake shop on glenwood. They had a little too much icing for my tastes- but were mega pretty.


Also me and Tu set about doing an art/lighting project I had rattling around in my brain for the last couple of days. Supplies = a bunch of nails, an old muslin flat artwork from a play I did in highschool (I also did set design on it), and two strings of white christmas lights. Results:



The pictures really don't do it justice, its just gorgeous.
I intend on working on some paintings this weekend, if it goes well Ill put more pics up here.

no one likes nostalgia like I do.

cause its raining, in my heart

didn't concentrate much on the line drawing, was more focused on the colors. It calms me.

sad.

vday.

I am kind of at a crossroads. I don't think I want to be a modeler anymore, Id much prefer to be a straight up concept artist. I just need like, 5 years of schooling and another 5 experience. Someone let me know where I can get that, k thnx bai.
ps- this doodle has nothing to do with the post. this is obviously a shit sketch I did pretty quickly. that is all.

I started to do these. but I forgot initially so I was behind. and then I had to work and issues kept coming up that required immediate attention and I kept getting more and more behind so fuck it and fuck today I hate everything.
THE END.

its snowing.
in north carolina this means:

driving 5 miles an hour.
buying up all the bread and milk at the store.
FREAKING THE FUCK OUT.

Happy holidays evrabuddy

At work we're all being required pretty much to start using zbrush. Which is great, really. So tonight I opened up the program for the first time and turned a sphere into this scary thing. Its not too shabby for the ammount of time I spent on it I guess, but not great either.
Is anyone else crazy excited for the holidays? I am. boy howdy.

This is an old "piece" I did almost a year ago...it was the design for the gallery select page for my website which is still not up. I "cleverly" spelled out 3d and 2d in the roots, although how I expected people to recognize that I have no idea.

Last night I was knitting while watching adult swim sitting in what I think I'll call the "knitting chair" because no one sits in it except me and I only sit there while knitting. Michael had his headphones on over on the couch making "beats" or whatever the devil it is that he does Mokushi was curled up in my lap beside the pile of scarf I've been knitting since a little over three years ago. It was such a picture of domesticity I wish I had gotten a picture of it somehow.

If I had that picture and a time machine I'd go back to when I was in highschool in my punk phase and wave that picture right in my face. I'd be all obnoxious and like: "you and your silly pink hair! you aren't going to be punk rock for life because punk rock is dumb! so there." That would show me.

I don't know what it is about fall that gets me so energized and excited. It's just now started feeling like fall here in my piece of the south and I've been so excited its bordering on manic, seriously.
Me and Michael spent yesterday deep scrubbing the apartment. Then he went to make music with his friends and I started compulsively organizing EVERYTHING. Fridge, bookshelf, closet, everything. Earlier that day I spent my lunch break rearranging the furniture in the place to be prettier. Last night I laid awake with my head buzzing with painting ideas and craft projects I should get started on. This is odd because I haven't finished a painting since highschool (okay Ive finished one or two small ones but none on the scale my brains been imagining) and I have a scarf I started knitting three years ago just a little over half done. I also want to throw a pumpkin carving party. I just really hope I can accomplish some of the things rolling around my head before this air of excitement fades away.
