But we all know this won't happen. People have become too lazy for it to happen. We are all so comfortable with this lazy, stressful, boring life that we have no need for fun anymore. And no one wants to act alone and look like a fool now do they?

Okay so here I haven't written a journal for ages and now I'm writing two in a row. But I just wanted to share the fascination with those who have seen the movie or those who haven't. And if you haven't, you must watch it.
We are watching it in Philosophy, and its just the most interesting riveting movie I have ever seen. It is definitely going on my favourites list. To me I find it so simple to understand, while a lot of the class is sort of lost in translation. They can't really understand the concept of where the movie is coming from. One of my classmates actually came to me explaining how stupid he thought the movie was because it was far too abstract for him to follow and that nothing like that would ever happen. But why do we need to make movies based on what could happen in reality when you could go out in everyday life and experience that? Isn't it far more interesting to view the dreams, opinions, and thoughts of a creator who so perfectly designed a masterpiece? I suppose I'm a tad of a hypocrite being a realistic artist because you could simply look at a photograph. I still find great appreciation to those who come up with such interesting and original ideas. This movie has been an inspiration to me to exercise my mind in an abstract way that i never have done before. Maybe the outcomes will be posted here on DA.

Tell me what you think if you've seen the movie.

Anyways, I was quite pleased when I logged onto my deviantart last night to see a note from :marzguy: asking permission to use My Paper Heart in a poem that he wrote which is actually quite beautiful and I was very honoured.

Their poem can be found here: [link]

So that really made my day

Other then that, I have come to the conclusion that i have created a vendetta for my art class. Its not the people in it but the class itself. We're doing printmaking right now, which has no creativity at all. We had to choose a culture and then make a print of it. I chose Egypt. I became brain dead I swear. I cannot think of anything.

Here's to the hope of inspiration hitting me in the face.

Updates with my art:
I got accepted to teach again in Mississauga in April. Only 2/3 of my classes got chosen but that's okay. I'm going to submit for Montreal next year and some American shows if I can. Right now we're having issues with the crossing of the boarder and its just a huge mess, as is everything else right now. I have art this semester which means I'll have a good chunk of things to upload. I also bought a nice big box of plaster which means new projects for me. Yaayy. Other then that, commissions are really slow right now but I'm going to post some flyers up places, maybe today.

Other then that..... i dunno. I'll try to keep more updated, get some new inspiration in me and see where that goes. Yay life.

EDIT

Oh yea almost forgot. Thank you everyone for the support. It really makes me want to do more not to mention i now have 6,006 page views! That makes me happy. Again thanks everyone!

So yea, its that time of year again, projects due, essays to write, exams to stress over. Who doesn't love it? Me. I don't love it. But I do love the fact that there are 15 days of school left. Then its summer and I have a feeling that this summer is going to be awesome.

In other news... I will be posting a lot of stuff in the next month or so. I need to get all my art stuff home so I can take pictures and scan images and post them not to mention get pictures of my sculptures. Sooo.. Keep checking back and thanks for the support!!

I did it. I finished the crazy week it has been, but there's still more to go. I have just, as of this minute completed a drawing for art class. Now I'm only behind on 1 assignment lol. I also have 2 commissions to do this weekend. woo. I will be posting those as soon as possible. I'm really sad though , my two 8B pencils are now smaller then my pinky... and I need them this weekend and the ones I ordered aren't coming for another 3 weeks and by that time it will be too late D:. I'm also down to my last two tortillions. I might have to make a quick trip to curries tomorrow...

IN OTHER NEWS...
I got my website up, [link]
I appologize in advance for the slowness. The server is a tad slow, and I have a few things I need to change and update... which adds to the list of what I have to do this weekend but check it out anyways! I'm very proud of it
Other then that... keep checking because I will probably be uploading new drawings allll weekend.

I think its because I don't want to get hurt, so if I think the worse, and not act out on something then its the less likelihood that I will be disappointed or hurt in whatever I'm doing..
On a better note, I have some exciting news. I have been put on the front cover of the expo booklet for Houston which you can see... [link] here (its a PDF file so for those who aren't able to access that, just google Houston Artist Expo). I am so excited!! Anywhoo... thats all I got to say right now. I have a few things I want to post but I need to spray them first.

I have a few drawings I need to catch up on but what I'm really interested in is maybe some help from you, my watches or anyone who randomly reads my journals which in any case that would be a tad strange. I'm looking for some new material to draw and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or even some interesting looking photos that they would like to share with me and want to draw. If you do, then send me a note and we'll chat ^_^ I like chatting

What I've been working on during Art Club on Wednesday is pretty interesting. I won't give away the whole concept, but its basically a tree and I'm trying the whole surreal abstract type thing... I think after painting my tree brown and now blue things should go pretty good
so yeah. Tis all I suppose, hope to hear from all of you with ideas ^_^

I want to say 2008 has been on of the most inspiring years for me as an artist. I have grown as an artist and even as a person. I want to thank everyone for the great support that has been given to me. I want to thank all my watchers and most of all my friends for encouraging me to continue, helping me through rough times and even teaching me new things. I want to throw a special thanks out to and . You guys are really great and I hope you know that I depend on your comments the most because you are the cause of my improvements and my inspiration. I also hope that you all keep making beautiful art. I hope everyone keeps making beautiful art. Its what keeps the world bright, beautiful and amazing. I hope that the new year brings you all happiness and joy. So Happy New Years too all and to all a good night!

I hope its filled with joy and merriment. Even for some people maybe a nice dumping of snow.
Right now I'm on my Holidays and I don't have anything to do! lol this is the first time in a while that I haven't had homework or drawings to worry about. I'm actually working on a personal project, which looks to be coming around well. I've also begun to experiment a little with the digital manipulations as most of you have seen. I'm trying to kinda break away a little from the portraits and let my mind widen. Also so I don't drown next year when it comes down to all the abstractness I have to do in art class. I really can't wait.
Anyways other then that I have a few other things lined up for the new year. Again, I hope everyone has really awesome holidays!!! Don't eat the yellow snow!!!

I just got photoshop and I've been using it like crazy and wanted to share some of the photos that I've *ahem* fixed. lol I will also be putting up some photos that I've taken in photojournalism class.
I will probably be getting some new drawings up too since I have about 4 or 5 commissions to do before christmas x_x. I think I can speak for a lot of people when I say that school is very over taking.
After Christmas I'm planning to take a break from commissions and maybe do some drawings for myself. My teacher has suggested entering art competitions to earn money for university. So if anyone knows any art competitions in Ontario Canada, please notify me.
Anyways other than that, I'm keeping real busy and will hopefully post more photos than myself up >.<
I hope everyone had a really great Halloween!!!

Its school time again... for the past month now. I have been swamped. But I am lucky. This semester I'm peer tutoring a grade 10 experienced art class which is great because this will help me towards becoming an art teacher. I also have a photojournalism class. I hope that goes okay, so far its been a little difficult. Over the next couple of months I'll probably be posting a lot of new photos and hopefully drawings.

So updates on my "BIG" news. I haven't heard back from the gallery yet. I don't know whether they likes my stuff or what. So I'm still waiting on that. Other than that I've been really fortunate getting more people wanting me to draw for them and are willing to pay a higher price then what I may offer... yay! lol

The main purpose of why I was writing this journal is that a friend of mine opened up a forum. We really would love more people to join. There's no real theme to it but a bunch of people coming together discussing topics and what not. Please check it out it would mean so much. We really want people to be interested.

Thanks again for all your support. I am so happy about how many favs Bella has gotten. Amazed really and definitely very proud. So thank you to all my watchers, thank you to all my friends, and thank you to everyone who has taken a look at my work. It really makes me feel loved

Anyways on that note, I have a couple new pieces I need to post. But also on that note, my camera broke. So now I have to finish up a few drawings this week, make some money and buy a new camera. My life is not going so smoothly at the moment. I'm kind of sad because I will not be able to go on my trip tomorrow, but instead stay home and look after the dog. On the good side, more time to work.
Also some really great news! Next year I will be teaching my first drawing class in Toronto at an art convention. I am so excited. I also have to finish a piece to submit for the show in Houston but thats a little far away so I don't have to stress yet.
And also good news, there is this lady who would like to work with me further next summer at her studio in Texas but I'm afraid that it will cost me too much to go. So yeah. I was hoping of going because it would look awesome on a resume. my parents want me to go to university or college in the states.. hmmm maybe Wisconsin?
