What is it again, weird things about me? okay, I gots plenty of that.

1) I had a Spider-Man PJs that I wore from age 6 to age 12, even though they didnt fit at all.

2) When I was 11 I wrote a letter to President Clinton, when I got a letter back with his photo I thought I had said something mean and thought the Secret Sevice was after me.

3) I used to free my sisters hamsters into the wild because my two older brothers said they would grow up to become drug addicted circus clowns. That proved more than a convincing arguement for an 4 year old.

4) Whenever I got a new GI Joe I would instantly take it apart with my dads jewelers screwdriver set, then reassemble them perfectly. I also used to tie them up with shoelaces alot, and I mean ALOT

5) I never had a working watch for more than a month because the urge to take it apart to see how it worked was always too much to resist.

and finally

6) I used to think a dragon lived in the caves behind my house because when I was 11 I found a weird looking skeleton. Years later I found out my creepy next door neighbor had killed his huge iguana out there and left it to rot.

there, thats it, and I'm not tagging anyone, so phooey. ]]> ~hollows-grove http://hollows-grove.deviantart.com/journal/6123365/ http://hollows-grove.deviantart.com/journal/6123365/ Wed, 03 Aug 2005 14:15:25 PDT
Its all he said she said sort of deal, only involving another he instead of she, well, you know what I mean.

I've had no interaction with either of them, but I always saw little news reports by Jark, the yellow alien and everything, if anything, he was the sort of cultural figure-head of DA, but I know he was responsible for alot more.

To be comletely, and slightly insultingly, honest, I dont think the termination of Jark is going to effect my useage of DA, but do not get me wrong, I STILL DONT LIKE IT. Thats just my humble opinion

and to show my support:

Anywhoo, last night I was up late again, listening to Smashing Pumpkins, and got myself sculptin'. Hope to finish the two new pieces I started, even though though their small. I even came up with a new idea for a summer project that maybe, you lovely folks reading this might be able to help me with.

Okay, I dont know if I've mentiond this before (dont think I have) but I dont usually do much in terms of sculpting portaits, so I thought I'd start a few to keep myself warmed up until classes start in late August. I usually do figures, I think you can show alot more emotion in a positioning of a figure than a portait. THats my preference on my work, I know others do the opposite. Facial expressions can show strong emotions, but I have a hard time with that. SO I thought I would attempt to break away from that. So heres what I'm thinking:

Anyone who wants (whoevers reading this really) can send me a note saying they would like volunteer for a portait. It doesnt matter where you live, I mean with digital cameras, I can sculpt a likeness as well as if I had a model in front of me. I intend to expertiment with a self-portait at the same time, but I would like to do other people as well. SO anyone that wants, just send me a note, and we'll go from there...

hopefully someone wants to *crosses fingers* ]]> ~hollows-grove http://hollows-grove.deviantart.com/journal/5451962/ http://hollows-grove.deviantart.com/journal/5451962/ Tue, 24 May 2005 20:18:22 PDT
Just got my AIM name up, which is up on my DAV infor, but for those that dont know it, its zipzip143. I know its weird, but hey, its just a name. I also just got into MSN messenger (or I think its MSN messenger) and thats register on my email name, which is also zippienoodle@yahoo.com, and the MSN name for me is also my DA name, Hollows-Grove. Dont have that icq thing or anothing else, but hey, its just for people to chat if they want.

laterzzzzzzzzz :snore:

Been attempting to update more and more, but this stupid thing takes forever to load up lately and my pieces show up a day later. Was wondering if anyone else has had a problems with that. oh well, atleast they get posted.

Been looking at people on my watchlist, and those watching me, people are coming up with good stuff! Been also getting into the writings that are submitted on DA, and I want to give alittle shout out to two (who I devwatch already) Jerry (aka MrMoogle< /dev> and Evarious.

anyways, not much else to say here, not all that productive lately.

keep an eye out for new sculpts!!!!

I have my own personal fears and concerns about this, but because its alittle late in the game, I need to silence them.

If anyone who reads this would like to contact me, my email is available on the front page of my deviant account. As I wont really be able to speak all too well for a few days, email or instant messanger is better for anyone who would like to know how I'm doing.

Thank you ahead of time for your concern and support.

Come this time next year, I will not be able to attend college, ever. Yes, wonderful financial problems, with no assistance from my school. My school that charges too much, says we love the students, then manages to give financial aid to the ones that technically dont need aid. What about the students that need it, cant afford to continue school without assistance outside of student loans? Oh, right, we dont give two flying shits with those kids. THey dont deserve to be an artists if they cant waste 16+ grand on art school that only pays for whiney teachers paychecks.

I dont see a god damned thing about my school that should be so fucking expensive. We have so many ridiculas requirments to meet, especially for freshman, food on campus is even fucking expensive. Just because its in a rich old cat neighborhood doesnt mean they can dick the students and their parents out of what money they have.

I'm not proud of this school, not proud at all. ]]> ~hollows-grove http://hollows-grove.deviantart.com/journal/2324851/ http://hollows-grove.deviantart.com/journal/2324851/ Thu, 29 Apr 2004 15:24:49 PDT
Politly and respectfully made a small comment about now having to consider me when they go shopping when they were packing up food. However my sister actually seemed to take offense to that. How pleasent.

*sigh* nice ]]> ~hollows-grove http://hollows-grove.deviantart.com/journal/2273939/ http://hollows-grove.deviantart.com/journal/2273939/ Thu, 22 Apr 2004 09:01:49 PDT
The lack of money in any form is beginning to take its toll. I honestly do not have my own money to pay for food, yet I'm managing. Yesterday on the phone with someone I was makeing poses in my mirror for possible sculptures when I noticed I could see my ribcage more than I usually can, and this frightend me. Being 6 feet tall and weighing 175-180 to begin with is slightly underweight, any less than 160 and I'm going to get seriously worried. Funny, most people stress about losing weight for their image, I'm more concernd about gaining weight for my health. Kind of chuckling if you think about it.

Also the lack in funds limits what I can do with my artwork via supplies. I have a decent amount of clay for my work, but plaster and other equipment needed for any form of casting I dont have, and is rather expensive. But seeing as tho all my stuff is currently crap or in progress crap, I'm not too stressed out about it, but still, its nice to have the possibility.

And of course having to move back into the house with my supplies by the end of the month is even more stress on top of what stress I'm already dealing with. Although its the less bothering of them all, its the most labor intensive, which is a whole differnt load of stress all togther.

Well this turned into one big complain after another, but its healthy to just blurt it all out, can help in many ways.

Several positives is that classes end in less than 3 weeks, I have several things to sell on ebay which could be both interesting and a possible large source of funds, but ya never know. One of the more important positives, this weekend. I'm very much looking forward to it. Also I'm doing my hardest to not be so "cranky" on a topic that I will keep to myself, even though I'm the only one to deal with it anyways. Not entirly sure why every time its mentiond, I just get angsty. Not necessarly angry in any aggressive form, but frustrated in the sense of "I've made developements both good and bad, but whats the point if I cant share them?". More of a lack of closure, but I know I can move around it. Think of a zen place, put it out of my mind. Also be willing to talk about it instead of just shutting up and letting the frustration take hold, not necessarly ranting but just being able to talk about the issue, let if be more casual rather than a sense of regret.

yargh, I've blabbed for more than I needed. But I do feel slightly better.

In more DeviantArt related subject matter. My life drawings have all been amassed and I just need to touch up a few, spray them, and then photograph them to finally be able to post them. Along with what work in Painting I want to share, then eventually, what little personal work I do have that I think is of good quality.

Time to end this long talk,
ta ta.

go eat a cookie.

SO hopefully as classes come to a close for a year, I will be able to post my work from this year, and work I intend to do this summer.

Tata for now ]]> ~hollows-grove http://hollows-grove.deviantart.com/journal/2213266/ http://hollows-grove.deviantart.com/journal/2213266/ Tue, 13 Apr 2004 07:53:52 PDT
Sculpture began tediously boring. Everyone is now repositioning their figures or starting new armatures for a replication of a Houdon figure, its got a french name and I'm too damn out of it right now to really know what it is, but anyways.

Having yet another stress fit. I've had way too many of those this last month and half. Worried about classes even though I dont give a rats testicle about them. Worried about the state of my development and attempting to sort out how come I cant commit myself to a piece of work for more then 48 hours on my own, and I dont have that problem in classes. The lack of a proper sleep cycle can just worsen already difficult problems.

So yet again I feel like a complete lazy bastard and will most likely skip the rest of the days classes so I dont get stress out. Unlike last time were I was stressed to the point of aggrivation, this time its to desperation. Last time I was about 5 seconds away from breaking Nancy Gladwell's nose with a plastic fork.

Yeah, but atleast this time I'll talk to Nancy about why I'm not in, if she doesnt care, I'll just tell her I'm not going to be in class anyways and that I will be working on the homework I missed, all 6 assignments.

Ah the artists struggle, how much it blows... ]]> ~hollows-grove http://hollows-grove.deviantart.com/journal/2193933/ http://hollows-grove.deviantart.com/journal/2193933/ Sat, 10 Apr 2004 16:12:57 PDT
On unrelated news, I had a very enjoyable day in Boston yesterday, and it was a well needed respute from the stress thats still is building up. Since I left I've been thinking about something alot, having been able to see someone I havent been able to really talk with for a long time, and I would say I'm slightly confused about it, but thats something that needs to be discussed with that someone in particular, I just need to get the balls to do it, and have patience.

Till I start to post new work and begin to delete my past work, enjoy whats here.
