I'm accepted to Pitt State, I'm excited to say the least. Though, I'll admit I really wish I had the money to go to Kansas City Art Institue. But $30,000 a year is a bit too much for me.. And I kinda wanna prove to myself that I could get somewhere with my art without having the prestigious school name backing me. it'll be a challenge, but I'm more than up for it.

I'm checking out Halmark's photography school, i might consider it sometime after college.

Before or after that..i'm not sure yet, i'm gonna travel. I want to get that internship with national geographic. but i'll really have to work on my portfolio, i'm really quite enthusiastic about it though.

I wanna go everywhere and it seems like the perfect job. i'd be extremely happy to just stay at as an intern to one of the photographers even. I figure I'd learn more from them than from all of college put together.

Pitt's got a pretty good art program, and I've heard from one of my friends that their photography teacher's pretty good. Also my teacher keeps telling me that their jewelry design class is pretty great as well. i'm really kinda curious about that one.

I dunno though, i'm really kinda scared at the same time of being excited about everything..but i figure i'll have a good time. I've got a few friends going to the same place so hopefully it'll all be good.

nah..i was actually looking forward to it surprisingly. I got a good reason at least, SENIOR YEAR. fuck..about time too.
haha i can remember in middle school 'just 6 more years..6 more' and now its the last one..oy. scary.

best class schedule ever too. I don't even mind my Government class too much.

Art history is by far my best class I've ever had though, 8 students..and summers and us spend over half the time just discussing artwork/what is art/and crazy girlfriend stories..lol fun stuff.

ah, also I'll be making some money I think these next couple months. never thought i'd be happy about senior photos lol cause I'll be takin em for quite a few people.

start expecting some new 3-d art/actual paintings(holy crap lol..i haven't put any paintings up in months..) and other 2-d work.
I'm gonna work my ass off on those..at least i'm gonna try. i need the practice before college.

So, like everyone's first major concert..they all come out with at least one major story.
here's my bogus one..and man it sucked.

This was my first warped tour, lets just say that right now.
So, I went down with a bunch of friends that'd gone before. They'd called the day before saying they needed another driver and if I did it they'd pay for my ticket($38 seeing as I couldn't pay both that and gas). Now, we both had a group of people and I followed the other driver, Jared, all the way up there. But the thing is, he got turned around once and we drove for a bit trying to find the place..so I, myself, got confused.

But I stuck behind them and we got there fine. (to wait in an hour long line..with a guy in a pink gorilla suit and PETA people that were running up and down the line.)

--warped tour time in between--

(now...lets go home.)

It started freaking hailing and storming right near the end (we were mad because we missed this OreSkaBand that we wanted to see out of curiousity) we had to hide in the bathrooms until it cooled down(whining and scared girls shoved in a small place..fun). but man that was some storm.
We ran out to the cars and waited until most everyone else had left before we did, but still there was a huge ass line even when we left.

Of course, we got seperated in the line, so we called them and asked for someone who knew the way or at least a map..and those asses didn't give us one. I'm still pissed off at em for that.

They told us directions, and me and sam(sitting shotgun with Jarret in the back) tried to follow them, but of course we missed our turn once, not even knowing it.
All I really know is it was raining, dark and we had no clue where we were at til we saw the freaking skyscrapers and buildings of downtown Kansas City.

we crossed the Missouri River bridge for gods sake.

ugh..so many roads and so much confusion! we didn't know where to go, so I headed down an exit ramp thinking we could somehow get turned back around..

but it was fucking FLOODED at the bottom.....and there was no way we were getting through it.

so,..we headed back up the ramp, hazards flashing and somehow managing not to get hit, an got back on the road.
I went the next exit ramp (thankfully not flooded) and somehow managed to get back South on I-71.

Finally, we got ahold of sam's uncle that knows the area and somehow managed to follow his directions and make it back to 435 and slowly back home..

it was an ordeal that I really don't want to happen again...I still don't really know how we managed to get home. bah...I was basically running on adrenelin since I'd only gotten an hour and a half of sleep..

I definitely owe sam and his uncle a ton.. they were great. that's all there is to it..
Jarret though..(the guy in back) slept through the enitire fucking thing, didn't wake up til we hit paola...which i'm kinda thankful for.eh..


but, warped tour itself was alright, I guess. There were so many bands that I hadn't heard of before and not too many that were extremely impressive.
But the one's that were good, were very good. The best one's were Reel Big Fish (I crowd surfed for the first time during this one, pretty fun. except for the part where they dropped me on my hip lol but its all good) and Against Me, I really recommend them Live.
Man though... hearing Jack's Maniquin Live..was painful. we didn't stand next to the stage but they sound nothing like their cd.

I had great fun hanging out with everyone while it lasted, and people watching..living in a small town, you don't see so many different ones. so many awsome mohawks. lol

I'm definitely getting those guys back though... that last part sucked.

]]> ~Mikasi-Tala http://Mikasi-Tala.deviantart.com/journal/19018110/ http://Mikasi-Tala.deviantart.com/journal/19018110/ Tue, 24 Jun 2008 10:39:11 PDT Plus, Hundreds of miles worth of driving..and my tailbone hurts..but man was it fun.

You're probably slightly confused.

Welp, went on a vacation/road trip to the grand canyon with my other family (my best bud syd's family that is)
Its just beautiful out there, especially the mountains (we went through Colorado, down through Utah and into Arizona) and the sandstone hills in Utah.
Ah and if you get the chance go to Lake Powell off the colorado river in Utah, its unbelievably clear, and the sandstone designs in the hills are amazing.

The grand canyon was of course very grand, but i have to say Bryce Canyon was much prettier (and less people) plus, syd and I got to actually hike down into it for a mile and a quarter.

The seven falls near pike's peak were pretty neat as well.
I'll definitely be posting quite a few pictures from it. most'll end up in scraps though later on.

I'm really looking forward to my end of school road trip a couple friends and I are taking though. We'll get to do everything we want.
white water rafting especially.

Last week we had the Pioneer league art show over at OZ and I'd like to say our school won by 9 points, which is amazing with the added plus of our teacher getting a mohawk. haha
but also..which i was in complete shock almost, but i got a best of show for the first time, it was on a duct tape sculpture(i'll add it soon), and two artistic merit ribbons on a photo and painting.

Then, also I've had (well, its still going on) my first art show, thanks to some amazing friends and teachers. I don't know what I'd do without them.
over 90 people showed up (which for our town..that's pretty much 3/5 of the population).
It was definitely a lot of fun. After that I met a local artist, he'd called after the show and wanted to trade a large print of one of his pencil drawings for a photo of mine. (I was awed over his stuff..i still cant believe he just wanted one photo for this pen/pencil drawing he traded)
But just yesterday a man from the solar-wind electric company here in town called and commissioned a photo/multimedia for their brochures and posters.

I can't say how much of a relief this has been. I'm just finishing junior year and still need a ton of practice before college but at least it seems to be paying off.
My friends and teachers are most definitely more than i could ever ask for.

]]> ~Mikasi-Tala http://Mikasi-Tala.deviantart.com/journal/17169923/ http://Mikasi-Tala.deviantart.com/journal/17169923/ Mon, 03 Mar 2008 18:24:53 PST but i got good reasons.
1. g-pa passed away..but to tell the truth, i'm happy for him. he was havin a rough time of it those last few weeks..i know he was hurting.
I was still in a lot of hurt though when he did.

the rest of it is alright news though.

2. first ever gallery show (with my entire art class) this freakin amazing guy, Nick, owns Gallery 311 in Fort Scott and invited our class to put our work in and sell it (sold 3, that slab pot, a photo, and a run over frog sculpture that i'll add later)
have to say it was one of the most comfortable galleries i've ever been in as well.
plus our closing show was awsome. have to love punch and pie. lol
though, after that night we had a snow storm and i had to stay over at Amanda's (my old neighber who lives in that town now..who knew..but man that was lucky) with 6 other people. watched Spice World (with 2 girls and russ giggling at random parts and the other 2 guys and me pretty much bored out of our minds) but we all didn't get to sleep til about 6..and about 30 or so min. before that I looked up to see the 2 guys randomly standing at the end of the bed in just boxers. slightly awkward but more funny.

3. I'm just really lazy.

]]> ~Mikasi-Tala http://Mikasi-Tala.deviantart.com/journal/16036204/ http://Mikasi-Tala.deviantart.com/journal/16036204/ Fri, 21 Dec 2007 21:37:11 PST
you know the days. get up at 10, take a shower, shave your hairy legs, eat a banana and run around in night clothes that are 3 times too big for you for the rest of the morning. (not necessarily in that order)

that's..a pretty good monotonous morning though. you have to admit it.

Well, lets just say, each hour or so after..it just grew more random.

1st hour: My sis shows up. well there's the normal kayla running around causing disasters for all the little dolls and animals that share this home (sniffles of fear and sadness are heard from small corners of the room). Then my sis mentions something about puppies. Mom rounds on her and basically says in a deadpan. you brought them here didn't you. (about 12 cats and a dog and a random peacock look up quite smugly at this from windows, perches and floors)

but this gets quite sad.
we now have 3 labrador pups that were dumped behind my sis's appartment complex, piled on top of eachother in a cardboard box which was duct taped shut. In their own feces and urine, crying pathetically.
and you know what..these pups are some of the sweetest and adorable little dogs i've ever met..but timid and shy from i don't know what and i'm not sure i want to know.. how anyone could be such assholes and absolutley discusting, I don't know.
so we're keeping them for a bit, but they'll be put up for homes quite soon. they'll make someone some great friends and pets.

So, after that though, my day got better.
Got my ACT score, 25, which gives proof to the fact there is some great higher being..because i know i quite failed the science and half of the math..

then,
me and syd hung out at my sis's. where of course we were enthralled by singing children's shows..backyardigans is really entertaining.. and got cookies, played with hermit crabs (i told my sis they were probably gay lovers..since one was bright pink and the other waved its claws around extatically quite often) and got strangled by my lovable neice who's practicing her mass murderer strategies already (echo of 'awwwww, how cute' in background)

after that..we ended up at the local crappy grocery story/pizza place to get groceries..walking around trying to find edible things while acting completely creepy and like the resident lesbians. (we're talented, plus starting stupid rumors about yourself in a small town is some of the best entertainment) then seansie (hhheeeyyy) randomly shows up out of nowhere. like our friends are prone to doing.

and this led to that and we all ended up at the movie theater in fort scott meeting up with syd-o's boyfriend to see I Am Legend (which was absolutely great. one of the best movies i've seen) about 20 mins late..since we not only had a 30 min drive with 35 min warning AND i got lost...heh
but it was fun. me and syd of course laughing at all the wrong parts..and telling sarcastic jokes the entire time (why we shouldn't go to horror/suspense/any movie in public.)

but this is getting quite long..

just adding though, we ended up picking up another of my friends, matt, who's absolutely hilarious/odd sometimes haha but driving back we all see this group of people sitting on their porch one playing a guitar..
well i can't remember who gets the idea, but we decide to go back and throw some change to them..and of course..i had to go back. heh. matt jumps out, runs up there and runs back (all of them either joking or just standing there awkwardly) and said 'I swear i smelled pot..'

so expect deletions. resubmitted stuff. and borders! lol not the book store too.

but since i'm horrible at keeping my word when it comes to stuff like this..there'll probably be a new one in there sometime or another.


ah and news.
i'm finally gonna be making some money off of my work. so far i've sold 2 sculptures and there's 3 other people wanting some of the ones i've already made. (which..i haven't added on here yet..)

i have found what you are like
the rain,

(Who feathers frightened fields
with the superior dust-of-sleep. wields

easily the pale club of the wind
and swirled justly souls of flower strike

the air in utterable coolness

deeds of green thrilling light
with thinned

newfragile yellows

lurch and.press

-in the woods
which
stutter
and

sing

And the coolness of your smile is
stirringofbirds between my arms;but
i should rather than anything
have(almost when hugeness will shut
quietly)almost,
your kiss

two of my dogs died within a week of eachother...and i can't help but ask what i did to deserve it..

Taffy..had been with me since before we moved here from oregon and held almost all of my good memories from when i was little. I loved her to death..and i can hardly sleep from losing her.

xena, i'll admit i wasn't as close to, but i still loved her dearly. she was the sweetest mutt though and protected me more than once when i went out riding. I'll miss her when i sit outside at night.

I really hate this..

kansas..one of the only places that it can be burning hot one day and then flooding the next. woo

so i've been slightly busy. job and everything..and then complete artists block, i guess you could put it.

tho..truthfully, i've taken a TON of photos. and i guess i could say my style's changed a lot. thankfully. lol i'm pretty happy with it right now.

not gonna see any traditional work anytime soon i don't think..unless i submit some of my older stuf..which'll probably not happen.
but you'll be seeing a lot of photos. that's for sure.

welp.
that's it really
later then

Its cold. and wintery..ish..

and Dev. art is being retarded..comments dont work and anytime i try to click on a link it has random seizures.

yay.

um..

lately i have done NO DIGITAL ART WHATSOEVER. and to tell the truth i probably will stop completely. except for maybe 2 or 3 a year.

this is because i want to do more traditional. mainly because i think stuff looks amazing when you can actually see the stuff in real life (not a computer) and see the texture and everything.

show me a person who's painted/sketched/etc an artwork that looks like its a digital work and i will show you a god.

I've got a couple paintings coming, two digital works (I WILL finish that waterdragon..even if it kills me!) and in a month or so a popscicle stick dog/wolf/fox thing.

plus hundreds of photos.

i'm really loving photography.. and I'm wishing i could have a class in it. but nooo..our school is too cheap to fix up its old darkroom (andbuyacouplefreakingcameras) .......

I would've submitted a lot of junk over the weekend, but we had a snowstorm (and got out of school for a couple days wooo yay for 4 day weekends) and mom freaked out (as usual) and picked me up early..so, of course, i forgot the stuff in my locker. joy of joys.

anyways.

I've got a lot of sketches that i've done that need to be submitted..but summers still has all but one. gr. but i'll submit that one probably today.

i did one painting..but i hated it. so thats not gonna be submitted. i've got another that i'm working on that hopefully i'll finish. hopefully. its one i'm working on at home (not school) so i've got no idea when i'll have time to finish it.

some other stuff is a bagh relief sculpture, a post impressionist pastel, and a pastel that i'm working on at home, and a looootttt of photos..roar.

oh i saw Art School Confidential, i liked it a lot..yet i was kinda disappointed at the same time. (shrugs)

Happy December everyone.

i've kinda ignored any and everything that includes digital art..and when i've tried to do some i just get distracted.

i've been doing more regular art though. i've got a couple colored pencil works to submit and once i get done with my paper mache forest spirit thing.. i might submit that as well. not sure.

nothing much has happened in my life at the moment. other than i've decided that i want to be myself instead of the person everyone expects me to be. meaning dress how i want, act how i want, and all that other crap. hopefully i'll be able to pull through.

so you'll be seeing some stuff from me soon. hopefully. if anything i'll probably submit some sketches. i'm learning how to paint..and i'm not sure how thats going.

so, later

ok...my weekend...was awsome. went to rock the light, had a waterfight, group hugged random people, got to hang out with amazing friends, and listened to good music. what else could a person ask for.

then today, i got to hang out with the three amazing people mentioned up top. and went to the river and collected rivershells. shiny ones. and a purplish one. yay. and also walked around town randomly, laughing and joking around.

then came home. and ate my special ramen foodish stuff that i make. (which is actually a kind of stirfry..hmm) its good. XD

um.. sketched a unicorn horse as a fanart thing of someone i watch. because i've been bored. and possibly may have done some others that i forgot about. yay.

oooh random psychologyish quiz

1. write down your fav. animal and
list 5 adjectives on why its your fav. (like... its cool, or wholesome, pretty. yeah. that kinda thing)

2. write down your fave color (or the first that comes to mind) and 5 adjectives on why thats your fav. color

3. write down your fav. body of water. (river, ocean, stream, lake, pond that kinda thing) and yet again... 5 adjectives on why its your fav.

5. You're in a dark room and you see a small spot of light in the corner. what's your reaction to the room and light and everything?

finally did another digital artwork. I'm really proud of it and its one of my best. and tho i didn't get very much feedback on it..^.^ i'm getting alot better i think.

I'm planning on going through my gallery and throwing a lot of it into scraps. mainly photos i think and a couple older artworks.

after the break i took i am once again working on the waterdragon/seaserpent that i keep promising... i SWEAR i will finish it sometime in the next two months. i was planning on finishing it before school..but i have a feeling that's not gonna happen. lol

9 more days til school begins. i'm looking forward to it i think..mainly because i'm so amazingly bored. lol

then i got some new sketch ideas that i really need to get down on paper.. and one of those could turn into a collage of some sorts. i really like the idea of it.

syd; I WILL work on that sketch. i promise. i just need some bigger pieces of paper...lol

oh, and school will be getting started in less than a month for me..so it will either bring on more works..or less. depends on if i decide to pay attention or not. more possibly not than anything.

bleh. geometry. not looking forward to it.

just say what you want me to sketch.

in return for the sketch you just have to do this in your journal.

i'm doing this because i'm bored aaannndd in return to fourrunning for doing this same thing. lol

i'm changing this slightly. if there is a photo or artwork that i've already done that you'd like a copy of just ask and that'll be counted as the sketch. ^.^ okie dokie.

i would really like to start trying to do sculptures and stuff.. i think i'd really enjoy that. but we have no clay or anything. (sigh) oh well.

.....and needless to say i felt like telling about mine. lol because i like to ramble and just felt like it. you could say i was 'inspired' (random people roll eyes) lol

I left a comment on the newsletter thing;

'I'd have to write a book to tell about all of the people and incidents and random inanimate objects that have inspired me. and even then i'd forget to add something. or something even more would have inspired me. everything is inspiration if you look close enough.

I've had times when i've seen someone draw a scribble in a notebook and i get a dragon or other completely random thing out of it. (dont ask me how lol) but i will say this, pay attention to EVERY little detail in your day to day life. there's always something there.'

and this is the absolute truth. I find inspiration in all of the art i have ever seen, and i learn something from each artist's art that i have looked at. I pay attention to the little details and look at how the artist goes about drawing a part of the artwork. Even paying attention to something as small as how they draw an ear or how they quirk the mouth of a character to get a small expression.

Its amazing the things you notice when looking closely at something.

I love art and when i pay attention to just something outside in nature or in the city and how the colors and everthing fit together just amazes me.

Then of course are all the people who's artwork i've seen and gotten so much from. I can't list all the names. heck. i dont even know half of all of the people's names.

the first people who got me into art was definitely my mom and sis. I remember one of the first times i'd seen mom paint and when she took this brush and some goo/paint stuff (as i thought of it then seeing as i was like...4 or 5) and make these beautiful flowers....i was amazed and wanted to learn how. so mom started teaching me how to draw. I being an easily distracted child didn't stay and watch very much longer than 5 or 6 minutes. But still it didn't take me long before i started drawing stick figures on every surface around me (face it. that's how we all start.).

I could never pay attention to anything so mom soon kinda just gave up. Though I will admit.. later I found a great thing. tracing. so i just started asking my mom to buy those little kid drawing books when i was around 6 or 7 and just traced the pictures out of 'em, most of the time making them into little cards for valentines day or birthday cards to hand out to my friends.

Then, it couldn't have been but a short time later I come upon my sister sketching one day. so like the annoying sibling I am I ask her 'whatcha doin?'(add cute little kid voice) and stand really really close to look over her shoulder. Because little kids just know everyone just loves when you do that. And being the loving sister she was she just told me to shut up and leave her alone. but of course i just kept pestering her. ^.^

finally she gave up and pushed her sketch pad toward me to show me the 'horse 'she was drawing. but what i saw wasn't a horse, it was just a buncha circles and lines with a light outline of what she wanted. I frowned in the cute confused little kid way and asked her why she was doing that and telling her it wasn't anything i'd ever seen before. Heather just rolled her eyes and went back to the drawing. I whined and tugged on her sleave complaining about how she'd not explained it to me which she curtly replied 'Just hold on a damned minute'. I pouted but waited as she continued.

I was just about to walk off after something that distracted me when she turned back and pushed the picture once again toward me. I looked wide eyed at what i told her was 'the most coolest and awsomest horse I'd ever seen' but after a little bit i asked what the lines and circles were for. to which she once again just rolled her eyes but finally explained.

She pointed at the light circles and lines that were still lightly drawn in the picture, "Look." she said,"Do you see how they outline the horse?" *nod* "Every single thing has the basic shapes in it if you look for them, take this horse as an example. A horse is made up of two smaller circles for the face and two larger circles for the shoulder and butt, then there's the little circles for the knees and hocks and the lines show how they will connect to the main body of the horse. Then you can get the main outline for the horse."

I stared at the picture for a while then picked up a pencil and paper and tried it. when i got the main part done (really bad circles and lines) and produced the most lopsided horse ever c... ]]> ~Mikasi-Tala http://Mikasi-Tala.deviantart.com/journal/8923564/ http://Mikasi-Tala.deviantart.com/journal/8923564/ Tue, 30 May 2006 18:40:13 PDT
whole week's been boring and messed up.

spent all day up at the city talking to granpa. he's doin alright. he was kinda depressed today because they said he has to stay longer. (and the fact we lost his dog..........which i'm still feeling so incredibly bad about......and i feel like crying every time i think about it)

so that was depressing and sad.. but he's looking better..

Heather (sis) came with us today so i hung out with her for a while and we acted like idiots and tried to make mom laugh..didn't work very well.
(we had a napkin origami fight... well heather had a swan and i had a hat because i dont know origami.. tho i'm glad to say my hat beat her swan's ass, no matter what she says.lol)

then we went shopping and i got some awsome shirts from the guy's department place in old navy (normally i hate that store..hmm odd)

also had the first day of driver's ed. joy. almost didn't get up this morning to go to it. tho i have to admit it was entertaining. syd and a couple people stole wes's (another bud) shoe and pretended to flush it down the girl's room toilet. lol that was fun. we also did a bunch of other crap that i am too tired at the moment to remember.

by the way tomorrow in dr. ed (haha. dred) i'm driving with syd. be scared. be very scared.

well done with rambling about my life. time for some news on art stuff.

1. I've still got to take a photo of a moziac i did (that regrettably took about half a year to finish because i got bored with it) last of 'the birds' series thing.

2. got a winged wolf coming out. possibly my best yet. (in my eyes. but of course i get better at using the comp every time. woo.) still not amazing whatsoever. but i'm getting there. (evil smirk) lol just joking.

3. um yeah..about that sea serpent thing i've been promising for the last..um....few........months...................................eheh..... haven't worked on it whatsoever. so i've got to get on that.

4. then of course there's all the sketches i've done that i need to finish. (sigh) so much to do. but of course...i've got nothing else to do this summer.


well that's it for now. my back is so incredibly sore from actually riding my horse Skooter for the first time since last fall, its not even funny..gr.. i'll probably update...in a week or two....maybe.

see ya.

oh...um....p.s. syd if ya want to go to that picnic thing its saturday. if i forget to tell ya. ]]> ~Mikasi-Tala http://Mikasi-Tala.deviantart.com/journal/8628539/ http://Mikasi-Tala.deviantart.com/journal/8628539/ Sun, 30 Apr 2006 07:59:39 PDT
