bitta...

Bitta writing, bitta reading, bitta painting, bitta gluing... I like-a this, yes.

Does anyone know of a copyright button other than creative commons? I love CC, but I'm not sure that it will cover some of the stuff I would like to post soon.

I really need to get a decent camera, or at least hook up the scanner.

...pretty things. Love.




My sis posted this on facebook a couple of days ago... and I just can't get it out of my head.


And then there's this...




One of these days I'll post some art. I swear, I am painting.

gesso is love

Never underestimate the therapeutic powers of gesso.

today is the day to...

*fall victim to the joy that is instant coffee... yum.

*work on that painting, even though it isn't turning out at all like you imagined it.

*reread a little more Moore. You could use the laughs.

*organize ze art supplies and make a real space for the utilization of said goodies.

*just do some of that shit that you're always thinking about doing.

*listen to the free bollywood sampler you downloaded from amazon... on repeat.

*get rid of a shitload of old clothes and random stuff.

*seek out many cat hugs.

*and then some.

It's October (shocktober, chucktober) and it's finally beginning to feel like autumn around here. I love that. I'm hanging on to it for dear life.

good constructive criticism...

I think I just got some, in the form of the phrase, "I really like the ones you do where the people are actually doing things or have things going on around them." Now, hours later, it's just starting to sink in that this phrase makes good sense.

Not that I'll ever stop doing straight up portraits... Just as anything I write will probably always be mostly character driven. Still, the idea lingers that I can actually have these fascinating characters do a thing or two.

Who knew?

Ooooh... I have an idea for a new painting. Where is time when you need it. I want a kittybot I can send in to work so I can stay home and paint, dammit.

teh awesomes...

look ma...

Hey, know what you should do around three-ish today? You should go on over to www.blogtv.com and make yourself an account. You might like it... and also, you could then watch me co-hosting live with the lovely and talented Chandra of BlondeRootsProductions. There will be painting and chat! Promises to be great fun... The link to the BlondeRoots Productions page is http://www.blogtv.com/People/BlondeRootsProductions

Come on and help me cure this infernal shyness... please.

music...

Okay... I know that some people are put off when a playlist starts up as soon as the page loads. I get thatand I'm cool with it. Just have a bit of patience with me. I'll be altering mine to no longer do that sometime either tonight or tomorrow morning. That way if you like the music I like, you can just go over there to that round purple thing on the right and hit play. Rock.

See, I'm coming back.

Update: Done! Only I changed the skin, so now the player is more of a black and purple bar.
