I'm beginning to realize I'm one of those people that just posts something every so often. I'm not anybody's art buddy in particular. I used to want that but not anymore. The only way that would happen is if I fell back into anime-whatever art, and I just don't want that. If you draw Naruto or Inuyasha shit you're golden, but otherwise, TALK TO THE HAND BITCH! That's what it feels like when I browse this website.

I have goals in life. I'm not 100% sure they will all fall into place the way I want them to, but I'm still going to try very hard to make them happen. I think the internet messes me up as an artist. I get sucked into that void and it's hard to climb back out. I am behind on the net lingo and I sure as hell don't like half the shows people are ass-vomiting about. Maybe it's just time to stop?

I'm not posting this to get a rise out of anybody. I just wanted to get some stuff out. I want to close my page down. I don't understand what hold me back though. It's kind of like when I moved to Athens. It just wasn't "my crowd", so I moved. Oh well.

Zel, Cubi.. you guys are awesome.

Miss Decaf has a art-trade due.. like WAY due and it IS coming very soon as well as all my other stuff. I just REALLY need to get my bearings again -_-;

I'm overworked, underpaid, sleep deprived, and I smoke too much ^_^ That's where I am currently in life if you really wanted to know, but I'm still trying to stay positive throughout all this. A buddy of mine has a new art gallery nearby, and he sounds interested in my paintings and illustrations going up soon.. oh please oh please XD hahahah yeah whatever, I guess I'll just have to see?

Whatever, maybe you shouldn't even try to explain yourself on these things, but sometimes I do wonder. Okay, I could see a hot anime chick with a gun, and I'd be like "Suh-weet!" But.. if you gave her a "unihorn" I'd be like "OMF!" <3<3<3 Hehehe I've been told I'm an oddball, so maybe I'll just settle for that :3

Ee~ maybe for some people this sounds lame, but for me it's wonderful. When I met Natalie for the first time in that Starbucks, I was like, "Holy 'SHIT' she's pretty!" Up until that point I didn't have the desire to date anyone, I was basically Asexual if you want to be blunt... heheh.. blunt e_e *COUGHS* Anyways, I have never felt so comfortable, loved, sexually attracted, curious, addicted and so MANY other crazy but wonderful feelings about anyone until I met this girl. She's is my every dream in one beautiful, smart, caring person. I want the 15th to be special and I know it will be.

I just wanted to write something today to remind me of this wonderful/special/awesome/gorgeous girl in my life. I love you Natalie...

(A) Because EVERYONE and their mother was also trying for that look and I didn't want to be drowned in a sea of repetition.
(B) I wanted to create characters/settings from ideas from my own head instead of using inspiration from chars from the shows/comics I was into, and just wind up creating ideas so similar it was obvious what you drew the inspiration from... maybe that didn't make too much sense?

Whatever, I guess my main point is that when I go to paintchats with people I keep catching myself wanting to draw my stuff in the anime-esque style again because they all are, and it frustrates me terribly. Is that silly of me? I guess it just feels like I'm taking the easy way out when I draw that way. Maybe I shouldn't dwell on it too much and just have fun. But then again, it's kinda' like that feeling when you are proud of something you've drawn and someone tells you, "OH! You draw just like so-and-so!" They may mean it as a compliment, but sometimes you REALLY didn't want to hear that. HOLY FUCK I SOUND SO ART-EMO RIGHT NOW I MUST STOP THIS JOURNAL IMMEDIATELY! Bye people~

It happens with age I suppose. Oh yeah, I'm still smoking the cloves, bad me. *Slaps self* I'm addicted I suppose you could say, but what does on person's lung-health matter when there are so many other people doing worse things in the world? I'm not on heroin so I think that counts for something. That's one thing I know I would NEVER do. Blegh.. drama.

Why hello there miss-random-liz, how are you this evening?

Me: "High...." *hits the floor*

Yeah... I'm way too lazy for my own good... SO SUE ME! In my sketchbook I really don't care about anatomy or finishing the actual images.

The Starfuckingbucks I worked at before was franchised, and this corporate store is pretty "different" to the point I want to vomit out of every orfice and die over a microwave dinner. *Coughs* Yeah, I loathe the place already. THEY DON'T FUCKING STIR THEIR GODDAMN DRINKS FOR FUCKS SAKES! What the hell, I don't want a fucking Mocha with all the chocolate on the bottom. That's nasty, and from a customers P.O.V I'd be pissed to spend 4 bucks on a flavored specialty drink that wasn't stirred, unless it was a regular cappuccino or something... blah!

Please call me back with a Barista position Borders... I'm wasting awaaaaaay... OH YEAH, I cut my hair again thankfully. It was getting all long and GIRLY and it was pissing my off to no end. I had to actually pull it back with clippies it was so bad. So yeah, I'm back to being short-haired butch bitch Liz HOOOOOORAAAAAAAAAAAY! LICK MY ASS STARFUCKERS! AND I HOPE YOU READ THIS AND FIRE ME COZ' I HATE YOOOOOOOOOOOOU! YOU'RE "SO" NOT WORTH MY TIME!

People who work at Starbucks, NOT EVERYONE, but a great majority of them are stuck up assholes, who think they are the ONLY CAFE and are so much better than other Baristas. They hang out in their own stores, even though they aren't scheduled, bring their other Starbucks friends with them, loiter around talking about the important things in life; such as COFFEE, STARBUCKS, FRAPPUCCINOS, STARBUCKS, ETC. It's so goddamn annoying... and I want no part of it.

I'm a great Barista, and my customers are always satisfied with my drinks, because I'm not a corporate atomoton who really doesn't care about you. I DO care, and not because I'm paid to. After I left Borders, I still bump into people that are like, "Where'd you go man? I miss your drinks." Yeah, I miss me too. >:\ *Crosses fingers*

Wow I feel better already! :3 And on that note, I think I'm gonna' head home and finish some art projects ^_^ I swear I'm not PMSing, but if one of you put yourself in my shoes right now... your brain might explode. BOOOOOOM

I don't start at Starbucks until next Monday, so I have the next few days to work on this, and I'm pretty confident I can deliver what she wants. I mean O_o she came to ME, and she knows what my style is like... sooooo I'm just going to assume she likes my art pretty okay? Heheheh, that would be cool if her fashion stuff got really big. Even if it doesn't, it will still be interesting to see how my designs will transfer into fabric.

Anyhow, I'm off to a luncheon, and Thursday I'm going to YoungBlood's Gallery to whore my paintings off. LATER GATORS!

I started back on a painting I haven't touched in SEVERAL months, due to a dream I had about the people in the painting yelling at me to finish them. It's probably the largest canvas I've worked on so far, and when it's done... I'm REALLY hoping to sell it and/or make more like it and submit them to local galleries to SELL. It's what I really want to do with my life at this point, and that's why I'm just a tad bummed out about having to look for a undesirable job so I can pay my rent and utilities... wait, I have a phone call...

OH BOY STARFUCKS JUST CALLED ME! Like... hooray n'stuff. Okay, I guess the job situation is solved for now? I've worked with their company before... but as I was saying, I would MUCH prefer to be a self-employed artist. Realistically though, even if you are a talented artist, it really isn't all that simple to take off with a career like that. This statement doesn't apply to everyone of course, because some people out there are doing well for themselves with their artwork, and didn't have to go through some of the hardships other struggling artists have.

I'm not bitter about this, nor envious to be honest. I can only really speak for myself when I say that it can really drive you nuts trying to find your place in the artistic world. I've been drawing since I was a baby, and it has always been my dream to do something with my talent. Earlier this year I REALLY wanted to just GO FOR IT and make a career for myself, but it didn't turn out at all like I imagined, and I managed to fuck myself over in the process. Hahaha, now I'm begging for scraps at a company I swore I'd never work at again. Also, just to say, I'm not trying to critcize people who have day jobs... really, I'm happy for you if you're happy. There just comes a time when you get fed up with living paychek to paycheck; never having any money saved, omg we can't get our gas turned on this winter, my dog needs to go to the vet, gas is so expensive nowadays, is my checking account overdrafted, etc. It justs BLOWS!

I want a fucking change in my life, and I don't want to be internet dependent to sell my artwork... though I will "eventually" get a website going, and many artists are doing pretty well for themselves on the net. It's just not ME ya' know? I want to get involved with the art scene in Atlanta, go to art festivals, galleries! I want to meet new and interesting art-wise people, who can introduce me to new contacts, and so on. Then I might be a little more keen on selling shit online if that's even an option, kyahahaha. I don't feel like this is some pipedream that will never happen, I'm just a little impatient with my life right now. I wanna' know WHEN, WHERE, HOW MUCH? Isn't it funny that people say, "Money isn't everything." because in a lot of ways it is. If you don't make money you're fucked... unless you're already rich or something.

ANYWAY, time to stop bitching for a moment. I'm going to try really hard to make more progress with my paintings, and other projects I started on and need to finish. I need to put all the negative stuff behind me, because that never does anbody any good when they're trying to be productive. Yeah, I plan on enrolling in a school starting next year for business and money management purposes, kudos for Liz, and hopefully I'll be able to clear my head a little over these next few months.

Once I get my digital camera back, I'll post some of the larger stuff I couldn't scan. I'll dig up some of my more current sketches and post some of that crap as well... coz' like I don't really do that as often as I used to. Not that I really expect any feedback from my journal posts, but if anybody out there wants me to draw, paint, sculpt, woodburn, or just talk with them about crap, my contact info's up on this page. Like I said, I'm not online as much as I used to be, but if someone desires my artistic services, I'm pretty easy to reach.

I guess that's all I have to say for now. Later peeps!

Up until now most of the images of Smitty, Royce, Pez, Ian, etc; were oekaki doodles and what not, but I think it would be fun to give them a background story... even if it's despicable and vulgar XD I have a fucked up sense of humor, bizarre even, so some of the strips may come off as being "weird". I do warn you that it isn't intended to be cute or PG... or even PG-13 for that matter.

If you are offended by nudity, drugs, nasty language, etc; you prolly won't want to read any of these strips coz' that shit will definitely pop up every now and then. My mind's usually in the gutter, and I need to new way to express myself instead whining to a psychologist heehee.

ANYWAY! I am going to try and post a few soon, after I fine tune some shit, and hopefully it will turn out the way I'm hoping it will. Who knows? I just need to get some shit done soon before the moment passes and I obsess about other projects.

I almost feel bad having this name on DA because I'm sure there is some other Farfarello fan who would much rather have it. If I had it my way, I would have the name "Zabeth" for my DA account but... someone already used that name and supposedly abandoned it soon afterwards? That's a crock of shit. I think if someone makes a ghost account, it shouldn't be valid. Well... I guess some ppl only use their accounts to comment, but still... it's bullshit I say!

More and more I want to start my own website, and customize it just the way I want; say what I want, draw what I want, and hopefully shoot for a career. I could just be a lame-o, but DA can be a big pain in the ass on occasion... I say that out of love of course! I just need to figure my life out, and get my priorities straight I guess. Blah.. later ppl.

I'll have DSL in my home very soon, and DREAMWEAVER WOOHOO, I can't wait. Weeeeeell, that's about it for now. I'm sunburned, tired, and hungry so I think I'll go try to remedy those things now. I'll post some art soon

I'm seeing some amazing artwork, some of which thrill the hell out of me, and it's a nice feeling. Sadly though, I'm not very good with words... and you might find that I say similar things often. *Is very much a creature of habit* But I DO mean what I say, when I actually do get around to commenting.

I need to hurry up and get working on my website... and I don't want a silly free web page where you have popups and ads out the ass before you can browse the damn thing. I've been there, done that. I personally SUCK at HTML though, and I'm still waiting for Dreamweaver... gyah... so much crap to do. I wish I was like... 15 or 16 again, and I knew some of the stuff I know now. I probably wouldn't have fucked around so much with my art in the past. If you wait too long you might miss the "Art Train of Life" and then before you know it, you're 35 and still wishing for your art career to take off. I'm not there yet, and yeah I'm only 21... but I think about stuff like this OFTEN. I'm very surprised I don't have gray hairs from all the unneeded worry I constantly deal with. Wah wah wah, I should write an Emo song about my failing life XD LMFAO

~I'm a looooser... my life's going noooo wheeere... my dog thinks I'm a looooser...~ *cries on the mic*

I guess my biggest dilemma is that I don't want to become a money hungry artist, but TRUTHFULLY I do need money. Money is what pays your rent, utilities, gas, food, and the occasional restaurant and movie with your lover. I tried art college out once, and it didn't go very well. I wasn't mentally prepared for it I guess you could say, and the outcome was somewhat traumatizing for me. I didn't have a very good attitude about art then... and I think I've at least kindled a greater appreciation over the last few years, but for fuck's sake I wish I had it THEN. I feel like every piece of artwork I've produced lately doesn't have that "ME" feel to it. I keep catching myself saying stuff like, "I wonder if something like this would sell well." which isn't necessarily a BAD thing to ask yourself, it's just that I do that with nearly everything. Drawing used to be fun. It was what I would do to relieve stress, put my creativity down on paper, brainstorm, etc. I've just heard so many stories of people making their artwork their career, and they wind up hating drawing, and loathing their lives. They get strapped to a drawing table hours on end trying to make deadlines, come up with ideas FOR MONEY. I don't know if I could handle that.

I don't know... like I said, I used to be an Anime freak. I had all these hopes and dreams of becoming a character designer for video games, writing my own "manga" lol, and someday have my own anime. Then I got a wake up call, and you know what that was? I GOT OLDER, and I watched all the other kids in their midteens go through the same thing I did, hope for the same things I did... try to learn the fucking language, lust for J-rockers that are waaay out of their league *is only being honest*, read and draw yaoi-esque artwork even though a REAL gay man probably wouldn't give you the time of day, etc etc etc. Only now anime/manga are MUCH bigger now then they were a few years ago, and kids are mixing up styles inspired by other artists; Jhonen Vasquez, Jamie Hewlett, the list goes on. I guess I'm rambling and most likely pissing people off at this point, so I'll shut the hell up now.

Whatever, like I said in my other journal from yesterday, it's not my mission to piss anyone off with these posts. It's more for me, and getting these thoughts out of my head so I won't go insane. I think a lot more clearly when I don't have these crappy "my life sucks" thoughts. I also produce more artwork this way so...suck my nonexistent balls :} *gratuitous crotch grabbing sequence*

After awhile crocodiles!

Zabeth/Farfie/Smitty/Liz~ ]]> ~farfie http://farfie.deviantart.com/journal/6377574/ http://farfie.deviantart.com/journal/6377574/ Wed, 31 Aug 2005 11:21:12 PDT The problem was O_o that I used to really be into anime and manga back in the day, and I still am on slow days, BUT... I had named nearly ALL my characters Japanese names that honestly... didn't fit very well. I mean... I'm a white girl living in Georgia, and names like "Uriko" and "Marou" sound kind of lame now that I'm not as big of a fan as I used to be. I used to look in Japanese dictionaries for words that could be cool names, and I was really into it. I just don't have those same feelings anymore. I don't want to make an "anime" or "manga" anymore, because technically I am an American living in the USA, I don't have any Asian heritage... and calling my old artwork that was misleading to others IMHO. PLEASE TAKE WHAT I'M SAYING WITH A GRAIN OF SALT, because if you can't handle what I'm saying... just don't fucking read it, okay?
To be even more honest, I'm trying to lose the "anime" look to my artwork if you haven't noticed already, and it's been kind of rough going through that process. It seems like EVERYONE tries to emulate the anime/manga styles nowadays, and I don't want my hopes for the future being lost in a big sea of anime wannabes. I'm saying that in a NICE way I swear, so please don't hate me for it. I think there are some AWESOME artists using that style of art, and it works for them, and I respect them. It just doesn't work for me anymore, and it frustrates me when I'm trying for realism, and somehow or another that old style sneaks in every so often. It feels like I'm taking an easy way out when I draw that way. Especially when it comes to the subject of anatomy. I loathe it even more when I'm drawing out in public and somebody comes up to watch and says something to the effect of, "Whoa, cool! You draw that ANIME stuff, neato." When I really wasn't going for that look. My heart sinks. If I was back in high school again, I probably would have popped a female-boner hearing something like that... but not now.
When I draw characters that are INTENEDED to be cartoony, or am just sketching, I'm pretty relaxed about how they look, because it's just an "idea". I don't know... I just want to get to the point someday that I can look at one of my illustrations and TOUCH them, because I do love many of my characters, and consider them my family. I like it when they are drawn... real enough so that you can understand them, feel for them, and relate to them. I still like to make them a little cartoony now an then though, that's just what I do
I want to express to people what means the most to me in life, and in my mind, and in the process draw from inspirations that have helped me with my artwork over the years. I want people to understand me, or at least have a clearer idea of what I am about. Some of my very good friends have been there for me when I've been going through hard times, and I thank them. Cubi... you are one of the kindest, sweetest people I have ever known. Your artwork just keeps getting better and better and I have high hopes for you in the future. The same goes for you Zel ^_^ Both of you rock my socks.
I have work to do, so I'm gonna' bring this journal to a close... hopefully nobody is greatly offended with what I have written here, because it was never intended to be taken that way. Good luck to all of the young artists and older artists out there. You're going to be fine.

I'm trying to make positive changes, despite the smoking...heheheh... and I think these changes will help me out in the long run.

One thing that I'm completely THRILLED about is my new easel. I've been wanting one for quite awhile now, and I finally caved in a bought one. My back has been hurting me a lot because I've been painting on the ground, and hunching over.. owie. I'm gonna give it a test drive this afternoon, and I'm pretty excited to be honest, coz' I haven't painted in a few weeks. Hopefully I will get some more paintings finished... it really has been awhile.

Another thing I pretty happy about is the comic/illustrated book I'm sketching out. Ever since I was a young dork in middle school, I've always wanted to make a comic/book/something cool that I could be proud of, and I think that may finally be happening. I'm making the story and characters based on things that mean a lot to me irl, and I think it will be pretty cool when it starts to take shape. If nothing else, it will be WEIRD/BIZARRE because my sense of humor can be like that, but who knows... I DON'T EVEN KNOW hahah.
I mainly draw using "traditional methods" but I've been playing around on the computer, and it gets the job done much faster... hm... interesting.

Not that this means anything to you guys XD but I'm so goddamed proud of my girlfriend. She's such a hard worker, and she's FINALLY getting a promotion at her job. She deserves it more than anyone else I know, coz' she's a HARD worker... and she puts up with lame-os like me. Kudos for you, baby, I love you. Oh yeah, you have some awesome hair too... sexy-sexy *licks lips*

Hm... I guess I could type more, but it would really be pointless XD; I guess I'll just end this with I'LL SEE YOU NEXT TIME! *reading rainbow theme starts playing*

I just wanted to say that I am in the process of opening a cafepress store so I can make t-shirts and other neato things. Yay. Anyway, I'm heading home right after this so I can think up some designs, and hopefully this will all work out somewhat. I will let you know when then store is up and running. I've always been interested in this sort of thing, and perhaps I should check out what DA has to offer along those lines. Anyhow, I will keep y'all updated.

I sold a painting recently and it's being paid off in small sums, which is cool I guess. It was my first canvas painting "The Dream" and it kind of saddens me to pass it on, but I know it's for the best. I'm hoping to sell more this fall, or at least get some commissions. I wanted to apply for another college, but I think I may hold off. I would rather make a career for myself the hard way than spend $30,000 on a school that just may drive me insane.
Oh well, if anybody wants me to draw/paint/woodburn/sculpt/sew them anything just contact me through my email addy and we'll talk. NO PRESSURE though. I'm not one of those artists that are like, "OMFG PLEASE OH PLEASE GIVE ME WORK TO DO! I DESPERATELY NEED YOUR MONEY BOOHOO!"
I just like a good challenge every now and then, and if it makes someone else happy, that's even better. The End. ]]> ~farfie http://farfie.deviantart.com/journal/5789028/ http://farfie.deviantart.com/journal/5789028/ Wed, 29 Jun 2005 07:58:29 PDT
I'm goin cold turkey off the cloves for awhile x-x I think I've fucked up my lungseses from the last time. I hope my throat clears up soon... coz' this FUCKING SUCKS! So yeah kids... when you're friends are lighting up... turn the other way, it's so not cool. It's just nasty ;_; I've been smoking at the most for around ten months off and on, and I already can tell my shit's all fucked up.

I'm such a whiner XD ]]> ~farfie http://farfie.deviantart.com/journal/5620388/ http://farfie.deviantart.com/journal/5620388/ Sat, 11 Jun 2005 16:59:55 PDT

Anyway, I'm only online for a short while today. I'm going to try and get some of my canvas paintings uploaded here, temporarily of course, until my website is ready. I'm still trying to decide on the name, but I have a pretty good idea n'stuff. Once the site is up, I'll be taking down most of my art/crap from here, and moving it over to the new site.

I don't know exactly when this phantom site will be ready, but I'll keep you guys posted. Ciao for now though ;}

Today I'm going to take apart my computer desk at the old house and move it into my guest room, and start getting that area of the house "fixed up" so it won't look like an ugly storage room. The color we painted it is pretty cool. It's a light grey-blue, and our room is all... orangey-red n'stuff.

We're going to go for an asiany look for our room since most of our decorative shit is related to that subject, and it should look pretty cool when it's finished. I bought a dark red canopy to go above our bed, for a sexy effect of course, and lots of lanterns, candles, statuettes, etc. I can't waaaaait. My next day off is Thursday, so hopefully I can make some more progress.

I have an art/writing project in mind that I will hopefully begin working on soon. I'll let y'all know when that happens, but in the meantime, GFOFGFDGGFGGOOOWS I LOVE YOUZ GUYS
*chokes*
