"My wallpaper and I are fighting a duel to the death. One or the other of us has to go." - Last words of Oscar Wilde

I don't know if anyone else suffers from this, but every couple of months or so I completely lose the ability to draw. Well draw with satisfaction of the end product. It just surfaced again last night while attempting to sketch out a picture of Oscar Wilde for my next painting. Hopefully I'll overcome it soon enough, especially since I need four or five more paintings by this Friday so I can get a decent grade in directed study.



Also, thanks to the unleashing of free American Elf archives I kind of feel like thinking about starting a journal comic again. We'll see how long that idea sticks around. I plan to acquire a box of markers over Christmas break and begin sketching out that one dream/comic idea I had like two years ago during that Sigur Ros show. My aim is to work on it next semester during directed study and submit them to the Flight forums in hopes that the editors of Flight take a liking to it and consider putting it into an upcoming volume of Flight.

I love almost nothing more than this song. Sigh.

Reboot ... was a pretty great show

I'm painting again and it is a most joyous occasion. I had a direction I was heading towards for my senior show and what not, but for this semester at least that has been skewed. Anyway, I like the current direction. One painting is done and will go on the flickr soon. Another is on the way.

Printmaking is my favourite class yet. It is everything I wanted it to be and more. The work is sometimes extra tedious, but it is still incredibly fun. I think I'll be printing next monday and those will, of course, be on here shortly after that.

This coming Sunday the first several Halloween Cards will be made. They will basically be more amazing than a dancing piece of slice bread at a ho-down.

Finally if anyone wants to buy me this shirt I will be very much so obliged. (I wear size Medium...)
