| smiley dolls in progress |
[Jul. 9th, 2009|05:05 pm] |
 Working on some dolls, one will probably be in my shop either tonight or tomorow! :) p.s. ive updated my Doll Archive a bit. nothing is really clickable (though you can always right-click 'view image') but you can still see all, most, of the dolls ive ever created!! :) My newest ones, at the top, are the best.. but i guess thats how it has to be, after making so many. |

my painting is looking like this: working on that last 10%. my favorite part.
 its about feeling so hurt that you try to feel empty of all feelings to feel ok. *thinking about a title.
here is a painting i worked on Saturday morning at a workshop in my old school. I got to paint from life.

| Here's things i worked on yesterday |
[Jun. 10th, 2009|06:36 pm] |
I told facebook that I was going to be hardcore. at working yesterday.
 this is kind of like a still life painting. because its a real little packaged up baby and bottle eraser that i have. its not finished.
I also worked on my 'empty inside' painting..thats what i did most of the day, but I dont really have a way of showing that. I am working on it more today. I'll show you that later.
Then, yesterday night I went to a 'Dr. Sketchy's' anti art school life drawing session.
 i think the pose is between 2 and 3 hours long. I only worked one drawing! which I'm happy about. her proportions might be a bit off..or maybe theye correct. I shouldve taken a photo of the model, but i was too afraid.
here's a close up:
 I drew this inside my regular sized moleskine sketchbook, so she's kinda small..
I was going to work at night too, after i got back from lifedrawing, but i was too lazy and tired to gather my paints and things, because its all still in my bedroom inside the big easel.

| look ive taken some pictures |
[Jun. 10th, 2009|01:35 am] |
 i bought a plant the other day.. I think its still alive.
 here is the view through a gallery called 'eyelounge' it was closed so i didnt get to get a close look at the art. but notice my flier in the corner there in the window sil! i was excited to see it (cus i didnt put them there)!
 this is in front of Conspire during First Friday.
 and this is a view of lots of people and some tents.
thats all for now. :D

 These are my new Sticker Packs! I am sooo happy and excited for them. These will be in My Shop! my price will be $5 not six like it says there, thats the price for Conspire (cafe/boutique/gallery).

| What I Did Today |
[May. 28th, 2009|01:06 am] |
++++ Painted this much:
 I'm still working on defining the face to look like what I want it to. painting in black and white is fun. I think when i finish this, i will post progress pictures together.. I mostly always take pictures of paintings as i work on it, different stages and stuff. But i dont seem to share them much. Its always interesting to see people's process.
++++ I also drew in my sketchbook. -no picture of that. I would write more about art related stuff i did today.. but im so tired i just cant. after 9 or 10pm i started feeling really hungry and then light headed. then tired. I guess maybe i really didnt eat enough. Dont worry, I usually eat a lot. ok. bye,
++ feel free to share with me random stories in the comment area. I wish at least one person would. that would be fun. does anyone remember when i posted a 'tilt' (Things I love Thursday) entry a while ago, i said I may start a series of entries about helpful information and things I find out about life.. or something similar. I have been learning so much about life. perhaps I will share some of it. Especially if someone shares with me a story in the comment area. heh. : )

Hi there :) here to share what I'm up to today.
 I moved my easel to my room to paint today, and I'm back to painting after what feels like weeks and weeks. I'm gonna try to update more of my progress each day or so. as a sort of motivation. and I'm still working on making a drawing everyday. I'm so forgetful.. ..or have difficulties building habbits.

Here is this drawing that I started last night.. i'll write more about its meanings later.. I might redraw it.. or just fix her arms.

 this is a page from inside my moleskine, it just keeps evolving. nice words, fire stories, and drawing
 he really was a lot more content than he looks here. i just cooled him off with a wet paper towel during a recent no-ac-inside summer day.
