Constantly Talking Isn't Necessarily Communicating.

Late Night Alone in Squalour In The City

Sometimes its pretty easy to get caught up in trying to give yourself some kind of substance and depth when not everything needs to be so heavy hearted and complex. Sometimes it becomes a bit of a substitute for a personality.

I just typed that, and realised that I'd typed it on a blog, sigh.

I'm going to re-do my blog from the ground up pretty soon. I think yellow and black might be good, they're my favourite colours. Everything is yellow and black these days for me, like a wasp. I need to post more often too. A friend of mine got me to post those last two drawings and I realised that I could probably do this a little more.

Also I'm going to buy some shoes.

Also I'm going to get a new camera charger and take way more pictures of everything.

Also I'm about to throw a ton of markers on a tshirt and see what happens. I'll only be able to wear it like twice before it starts to stank, but what the hell.

And I know I've linked this before but this is someone I really respect. A favourite thing of mine is not having time to look at her stuff, then coming back and having this Aladdin's cave of eloquent writing and photos and to look at. I had two pages to read today and it was like Christmas.

Friday 13th March 2009.

Neglected.

I haven't been here in a while. I'd say I've been busy, but it is more like I've been considering being busy but I never really got round to it. I've been busy considering being busy.

I know it's not February any more but I need to point you towards this incredibly eloquently written blog post. If I had a writing style I'd like it to be exactly like this. I think the inevitable student lack of nutrition these days has forced me to forget how to find my way around a metaphor. On top of that it has given me what seems to be, according to the official criteria for successful diagnosis, hypersomnia. I thought I was just lazy. Unfortunately if I wouldn't believe me either if I used that as an excuse.

I feel like I should post a photo. I need to take more photos.

I have a screenplay to write. And not because I'm one of those hacks with nothing to do who seem to think that writing screenplays is easy, but because that's what I drag myself in to University every day, or almost every day, or a couple of days a week, to do.

And not to be narcissistic but I really cannot believe my idea hasn't been done before.

It's almost six am and I haven't slept. At about half seven I'll empty my big orange jelly baby shaped piggy bank for change, and go and buy some energy drink to keep me awake artificially.

So This Is The New Year

2009-02-01T15:04:00.000-08:00

I've started now.

I wont post the images on here either, I'm only allowed so many images before blogger takes a shit and dies on me or something, so I'll just link up every so often.

That's about it.

2009-02-01T11:08:00.000-08:00

I started to paint a sketch I did over Christmas digitally. It's coming along, slowly but surely.
She only has half an arm and no legs, but I did it pretty quickly while I was waiting in the car for some reason and I didn't want to come back to it later in case I'd lost my flow.

Or something.

That horrible brown smudge has got to go.

I'm going to keep updating on this because I'm determined to get it finished. So this is a work in progress.

New Year's Resolution.

2009-01-22T13:47:00.001-08:00

This is my New Year's resolution.

I'll post the best ones on here too.

That'll be all for now.

I love Ryan Gosling so hard.

Again, it looks better in person.

Ashley Wood is probably one of my favourite artists. He's what got me in to painting naked women recently, although his are often pretty disturbing. I wouldn't feel particularly comfortable sitting down and painting the likes of the header image on his blog.

And if you click on his blog then be careful. That picture is an eyeful.

Also, he seems to dig robots.

I wish I could paint like that though. It's messy, but he doesn't just throw paint on haphazardly, I'd imagine. It's quite unique.

On top of that, he has a pretty cool designer toy company.

I feel fresh today.

I Want To Know How It Feels To Care About Something Passionately.

2009-01-14T17:35:00.000-08:00

I took a photo, it's not the best photo in the world, but it'll do. She looks much better in person.
I'm enjoying drawing and painting women a lot more recently. Especially nudes.
I can't really handle colours well, which is ok because I'm more comfortable with blacks and whites and greys.
Perhaps I'll teach myself soon.

Actually, I just checked, and it goes bigger when you click it. It still looks dull and grainy though.

And since this thing doesn't keep track of dates - 15/01/2009.

But I did this two days ago.

I'm Probably The Smartest Person I Know.

I want to post some watercolours on here, but I fear that it would make my sketchbook look the opposite of pleasing to the eye if I tore them out. Also, I fear that my scanner can't handle the simplest of tasks.

Sand is overrated, it's just tiny, little rocks.

I like to start everything with a picture of a big, beautiful hole in the ground.

If you ever go, make sure to go to the far east side of it. You'll enjoy it far more there. I hear you can go down in to it of your own accord and explore at that end.

I deleted my old blog. All that was there was a couple of rants about films and the only things I'm really good at. Things that no one needs to hear about. I didn't need it, so it has gone to wherever things go when you delete them.

Beer and a lack of food doesn't help when you've had four hours sleep and you need stimulation for an exam. Doubly when you don't know what you're supposed to be learning.

This post was a test.
