have hands. will travel.

pop pills. pour poison. partake of poupon.

baby birch.

the first is a painting. acrylic on a 14x18 canvas. lyrics from Marie Laforet's cover of Paint it Black ("Marie Douceur-Marie Colere") it's really a whole different set of lyrics put to the Paint It Black melody.

listen

i loooove yeh-yeh music.

the second is india ink over a drawing that had been hanging out in my sketch book for a couple months. (i went over it with water colors and absolutely hate it now. eh, c'est la vie, i guess.)

enjoy. hate. do what you do. goodnight.

i was dreaming when i wrote this.

i really wish i was musically inclined.

music is such a jumbo portion of my heart, brain, and life. i've made friends, snobbishly judged, and fallen in love with moments and places. all because of music.

be that as it may, i'd love to be able to be a part of it all.

but it's not going to happen.

so i'll just admire.

something of little value.

having a rough week.

oh sh--

so instead of a daily, this will become a yearly!

we'll blame it on this list of excuses:

1. lack of computer for about a year

2. lack of motivation/supplies for drawing

3. being an idiot

but let's try this again.

i just got back onto my old oekaki, so i have a few doodles to add.

naked. tattoos.

it's what i like.

the ballad of love and hate

we'll call this a new project. a sketch a day. churn out something SOMEthing something.
so we'll start off with today's.

personal life wise, i still haven't completely figured out what to do with myself in the "art" world. and i'm afraid to go back to school and be nailed down to a major until i do. but the more time i spend out of school, the harder it's going to be to go back.
and then there's the argument that school isn't necessary always. (but, it sure does make things easier when you have a degree.)

who knows. i want to do everything! from tattoo artist, to illustrator, to graphic designer for fashion magazines.
and for that matter, where do i live? go back to los angeles? there's certainly a lot of opportunity for everything there. go to portland? seattle? new york?

someone help.
