Art drained

I'm so sad. I lost some of my fun in digital painting. It is too quick and simple now. has anyone come across that?!

perhaps if i set it aside for a while it will grow on me later

recently though im having tons of fun with traditional 120 film , holgas, yashicas, roliflexes, the whole deal, lots of filters and fun. You want to see them? (no you dont but lets say you do) well i have them! or rather.... a few of them. I'll post a few later, maybe

also.... in addition to film ive done a bunch on encostic, which is mindnumbingly fun. very little challenge, but fun. i shall have to figure out a way to make it super stressful though if i plan to continue with it. which i kinda dont

i also really want to do tradit. paintings, cept i think the stuff ive done within the past 3 weeks all have sucked. i have painted over and over the same canvas for so long that it is thick and gross in one area . i havent even begun on the other 80 percent of the canvas... i just have some sketch in there, but i keep workin uptight over this same spot. i think ima bring it into school. im too uptight at home recently. need some more movement. yes?

so yeah. painting with paint is appealing. particularly oil paint. so i will have to see if i can scrounge up some turpentine and oils at school. find some linseed oil and rags and somewhere with ventilation. (as if that exists)

right now im hating on the digital stuff though. anything digital im thumbin' my nose at this week. hate it all. too easy. photos, drawings, line art... it all is easy and today it looks like crap to me. i want watercolors and oils and dare i say it, even 3d. if i start working sculpturally i will be surprised. you never know. i might be like michealangelo and start as a painted but grow to hate painting. i hope not though

so... yes... i think i might go work on this painting now. it has a lot of subtleties that are making it tricky... or perhaps i shall work more on college apps or nanowrimo. i feel though my efforts would be better places on this painting... but right now college apps sound more appealing.

thats sad... but part of the reason is my neck hurts and painting will make if feel worse i know

what a turn of events

no digital paintings for a while. i need to get some tradish out

Happy Halloween

  • Listening to: myself sniff... runny nose and sick cough
(or just get confused by my medium)

So, i won a jurors choice in this awards thing for art I did. And at first i looked at what i got and was like 50 bucks sweet, pockets gift card. yeah... well its 150! and it comes with 200 tickets to an art thing. OO

yeah, sooooo....im gonna spend some and save some for college. 150 dollars of supplies for college... you bet im gonna use it!

so yeah. has anyone else gotten a gift card and been like whatever 5 bucks and then its like 50 bucks? or am i just incompetent and reading??

The truth is revealed. how much do you like my art

  • Listening to: horible piano playing be glad you are spared

if no i understand

oh and friends and family cant say they would buy my art unless you go under some code name. cause that is liek weird to sell things to peopel i know. i would just give it to you for a cookie or something.

  • Mood: Rejected
  • Listening to: Soulmate and before that Coheed and Cambria
Yeah. I was just thinking. Considering that I am an artist. I have such a normal rational life. Its so unusual actually.

Does anyone ever wish that they were like officially crazy or something. Or a pyromanic or a person that jumps off of buildings or sees paranormal thigns?


Just wondering.
