"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.

30 paintings, sort of.

This was a rather ambitious project I attempted to tackle last Wednesday at 10 PM before I went to sleep. That didn't happen so much, but I was able to do a large volume of paintings with in a few days time. I'm pleased with most all of them. I plan on doing the final 10 sometime this week, but I also have a large-ish research paper for an english class so it'll have to be balanced with all of that.

So, here we go. Also, as a side note of sorts. If you see these and like them and would like my services as an illustrator for most anything other than bringing about the end of world, I would love to hear from you. You can reach me email-wise at (toastman18@gmail.com)
