In progress

I have been working on this painting for a few weeks.. and it's pretty difficult.. or perhaps just seems so. I decided to show the unfinished product in black and white because I want the colors to be a surprise, too. It's hard to take a picture of a wet painting in a dimly lit basement. Flash makes it look shiny.. and it's just blurry with no flash at all.

New Year's Eve

I need to shut it about my problems. Drawing and painting don't need to suffer just because I am. They are more than a part of me.. but an entity separated from me as well. I go to them for advice, for a piece of mind.. and the me bring me closer to God as well. Why punish or weaken them?

I did some sketching today.. and I kind of rejoiced that it was crappy. I think the road to recovery will teach me many things about myself.. and the human mind. I will try and concentrate on every frustration that I have along the way, so that I may help other people who have the same problem in the future.

This is not inspired by the "New Year spirit", but just because I need to gain some self control. I am planning on committing to submit at least a drawing a week. This will allot me more time to give the piece I am working on more quality. I look forward to finishing this week's work.

I haven't posted in a while.
I haven't drawn in a while.
I haven't painted in while.

Things haven't been going my way, and I have been a brat about it. Yes, it's going to take some practicing approaching a painting or drawing pencils without getting tense. It's not worth mentioning the details; life will go on.. and I will always have something to dream about. Even if it's been heavily delayed.

I am so thankful for the people who have been helping me through this.

I hope to have a visit with some of my friends for the holidays. That would be very nice.

Camera's Broken..

.. so I scanned this stuff.

More stuff

Yeah, I kind of dislike the outcome of this one.. but it does look wonderful either in the dark.. or from far away




















AND this one.. I'm super proud of. I love doing fisheye kind of things.. like funhouse mirror reflections.. or toilet paper holder reflections. And NO, I'm not on the toilet, Anthony. I'm on the floor.. and tried to exclude the toilet as much as possible.

I haven't not been doing stuff

Yep.. so now, I only need 3 more drawings and a piece of work in my choice of medium (I'm thinking cut and paste portrait!).. and my portfolio will be complete. I am so excited! I have been doing stuff. A painting of a milk jug. A stupid drawing of a fork (wish I had tinted paper for that one). Another figurative. And I'm working on a toilet paper holder right now. Yes.. shut it. It's actually going to look cool. In all of my work that I do, one of my main goals is to shed light on a whole new optimistic and vivid way of looking at whatever I depict. Look at that salt shaker.. I tried to make it nice. Yes, it looks amateur, but I try. So, be optimistic about the toilet paper holder.. I have to be- I'm sitting on the bathroom floor for hours doing this.


Pictures coming soon.

I wonder if anyone has done this before..

...if so, I'd like to see.
I'm definitely redoing this on bristol, for a smoother and bigger final draft. Or maybe this is the final draft..
