Just An Update..

Well how's everyone doing? First of all, I want to apologize on the radio silence. I've been busy as hell with the flu and working on these new pieces have been the last thing on my mind. I even write this blog from my special place on the couch, wrapped in blankets. But I do promise to get my ass in gear as soon as humanly possible. For now it's ginger ale that tastes like pumpkin and really bad 80's movies.

Secondly, my best friend and closest bandmate is in the hospital so I just want to say how much I really love her. She supports every lyric, every piece and every bad haircut I've ever had. So I hope she gets better soon and I hope she's thinking of a new song right now.

THIRDLY! I have discovered that my beloved chinchilla, Willis, is actually female.. Truthfully, I'm a little shocked and bewildered since the pet store had told me that they were certain Willis was male. However, I do not love her/him any less and I feel a bit bad for referring to her/him as my "little man" but I feel a little bit disappointed. I have to go through the whole naming process again and I have no idea where to start and I really enjoyed the way the name Willis sounded. But I'm sure I'll discover the perfect female name!

Now, if you'll excuse me, I must sketch

Shit Just Got Real

Despite my youth, I'd consider myself technologically illiterate. I don't have a clue what "tumblr" is, what it's for, or why it's spelled incorrectly. However, it was suggested to me by a close friend and after some dancing around it, I decided to give it a whirl. Perhaps why I found it appealing in the first place was because it seemed like an ample form of self expression and a much more effective way to showcase my art besides making a "Facebook" fan page. But, it was much too complicated. Posting was a hassle and posting photos was almost impossible so I decided to blog here. I didn't even need to make a new account as long as I have gmail!

So, I'm an artist and it seems like just about everyone is these days. "Look, I blogged about how much I hate my life!" Bravo. That be art right there. Of course, I'm not here to mock anyone's shit. Sure, maybe blogging is considered an art form, it is a form of expression just like drawing, painting, poetry, song writing etc. But if you're going to call bitching a form of art draw a fucking picture about it. I wouldn't consider myself overly opinionated, or cranky even. I just feel very strongly about certain things like music and art. I never understood those hip rap jams or squares painted on a canvas. Maybe I'm just old. But I do really really try to give them fair chances. "Oh, this painting of a square is extra nice. Its got shading and a nice foreground. I wouldn't pay $500,000 for it but good for the artist!" or "Wow, by the sounds of these lyrics this rapper gets tons of lays. Good for him!"

I'm currently working hard on a three piece set or dioramas. They're all very different from each other, yet all very similar. But until I can post them on here, please enjoy a complimentary sketch of a girl in bondage.
