I am no longer a woman; just rippling muscalature

hi!

The post for today is a really thorough page from my journal that I actually worked on onight.

The words are saying alot of diffrent random things, which you could read if you would like, but focusing on the pictures: if you notice in the top right corner I have that dancing bacteria thing? In his hand he is balancing a ballerina, just fyi.

descending downward, in the middle of the page on the left hand side there is athat giant egg. Please enlarge picture to understand concept.

This is the idea: Recently I've become obsessed with layering so if you start at the bottom of the egg you should see a father yellign at his son (bear with me they are stick figures) and that scene being in a grocery store being pushed by another person, and that store being the ground for a huge boy playing soccer and inside the soccer ball and trees are diffrent worlds.


Further down you will see faces, some of the look horribly distorted. I'm trying to convey the idea of the face being made up by a series of drawers and some of them being pulled out. Alot of my imagination rquires larger canvases. The two undistorted faces are just faces that I tried to make look really goofy. I think I succeeded.

OTHER STUFF.
1. The blog has switched to monday, wednesday, friday updates instead of every day. They every day updates were interrupting my writing time and were not high quality. I was also worried about my wealth of journal pages.

2. I AM STILL ACCEPTING JOURNAL SUBMISSIONS. SEND SOMETHING IN AND TELL YOUR FRIENDS. I WILL NOT REJECT ANYONE. I WILL SIMPLY SCHEDUAL YOU. DO NOT BE SCARED. JUST SHARE.

3. Congratulations to all the gold key winners!

4. I have lots of lovely talented friends and I forget that all the time. One especially important talented friend is Jasmine, or j.y miller shes great. click on here and listen to her sing.

5. I still love kiva.org :]

6. If you are intrested in reading about my life/responsibilites of man to his society please click here.

7. HAVE A GREAT DAY.

I am eating a guava. its great. Sorry this post is a bit late

ok. so. first:
So! I found my black journal today! And as celebration I'm uploading more than usual today! hooray!

If you look to the side you will view the first art piece that is being dispayed to your left, you should be astounded by all those colors!

The text is notes on absurd/existentialism. The colors are absurd. GET IT?!

This was done with soft pastals, and the colors have faded alot. When I first did it it was alot more vibrant, try and imagine.

it kind of looks like a tunnel, and if I had to assign my mind in a way I would pick a further faded version of this. So many places to burrow.


And the next piece! A two page spread!


The right most page of the spread is faces drawn while in Miami. I learned how to draw noses there. I would go to breakfast early every morning and just move from table to table, drawing.

the other page is some faces and just random scribbles. I don't really like that page (if you look in the left upper corner of that page you can see me trying to convince myself other wise)

But I included it because it was next to the faces pa ge and I kind of wanted to include an awkward journal page?

Because. Ugly is allowed, with art I feel like ugly and awkward are SO nessacary, I feel like if we are always worried about not being ugly we can't progress and so yes. that s an ugly page. I am sharing. your turn.

So I hoped you notice the layout/font changes (how could you not) I figured out I needed a stretch template and I have always loved black backgrounds and white text on black background looked too bright. so I played with it.

I feel unprofessional with the background this way, and I might change it but I must admit that I like it. Thoughts?

So I'm trying to post the art first, and this random other stuff later because I feel like people feel obliged to read the other stuff. I'm working on a more thought based blog.

Also! Don't forget about kiva.org.

ok! I have a really superb night! I'm so sorry I was late on the post tonight.

OH. BEFORE I FORGET. Today ryann and ben came over and ryann dyed bens hair (I wrote a letter) and left the extra dye here. So I fished it out of the trash so I"m going to try and make some art but then I'm going to take a shower immediately after so I don't get everywhere. I'll let you know how it turns out :]

BYE. and sorry this is late again!
