your thoughts never experienced flights of fancy
the clothes you wear, anything but flashy.
you stare out at the foggy ocean
hoping to find your lighthouse.

never ready to accept the fact you are lost
always out there searching for the key.
the beat of your heart can't match the beat of your feet
always out there running, free as a bird
yet lack of confidence cages you still

always looking for satisfaction
nothing but a soul lacking direction
you wander the streets wondering where the stars are
hoping spaceships will give your soul salvation
nothing but stories of science fiction.

i can like people, but i've never really felt like i've truly 'fit in' and inside sometimes i get jealous of the people around me. but why blame them? they've done nothing wrong.

alot of the time, i ask why? why does it have to be this way? is it because of something i've done in the past? is it because of who i am?

the longer i think about it, the harder it hurts.

all the things that i've done in the past. the past, the past. sometimes i feel i worry too much, worry if i wronged someone, worry if i did something stupid.

like i mean it's not that i'm not moving on, believe me i am. it's just no matter what, no matter how much i change, there's always that part of me that remains regretful, perhaps even resentful of the past. and the mistakes i have made, or the decisions i've made.

i know alot of the time i try too hard to be perfect. i've begun to realize this is tearing me up from the inside. not only in my art, but in my life. it's an addiction, it's muddled my thoughts and inspiration.

one day i hope to realize that the imperfections we see in ourselves are actually what makes us humans beautiful.

i don't think i'll ever truly be free until i get over this.

i need to work.
things are written.
lots of random things i write on these sleepless nights

but without a thread to hold my disjointed thoughts together

choking up our air with god knows what.
can't even go anywhere.
i've lived here all my life (in the same house too)

i hope that I can get out of here soon. like maybe next year
toronto probably in second year, until i graduate university.

then maybe new york, london, paris, or even venice?!
anywhere but here

i need some noise
i need something new.

no it's been cold and rainy for the last two weeks.

without warmth and light my thoughts don't seem to flow very well. it's just the fragmented bits and pieces that come through.

does it have to be our past experiences that shape who we are today? is our greatest fear the fear of ourselves? is that why most of us are so reluctant to express? to create?

even my attempts at expression never seem to tell the whole picture. my 'creations' seem to only have a self-serving purpose (which is unclear even to me). it's ever made me so reluctant to share any of my art because i want you, the viewer to feel those experiences (or at least comprehend them) yet even i don't know what i'm creating. it seems everything is beyond comprehension these days (atleast for me).

if we cannot comprehend, how can we realase ourselves? it's just as bad as losing control, except you can't really feel it, it isn't something physical. it's in the subconcious (even worse). it's something even i cannot fully understand.

thus the satisfaction of this feeling of 'true release' continues to evade me. perhaps i will elaborate on this at a later time. perhaps when the need arises.

or maybe it doesn't exist, and that our creations, the creations of mankind have just been a mere facade of who we truly are? an existence so powerful even we cannot imagine, so we cage ourselves in our own creations....to protect us from ourselves, sending humanity on a path of mediocrity.

there's the irony. we create to find out more about ourselves and give us a sense release, yet it is tis knowledge, that causes fear. the fear that then drives us to just be 'normal', thus we keep to ourselves the burden.

and for some reason i can't make peace with that.

either that or i'm just wrong and this is all mumbojumbo gullshit i wrote for no reason.
which it probably is, ifso forgive me for making you read all this in the first place.

[and finally if you were wondering where my stuff went on da lately, fear not i did not remove any of it. i was just meddling with my front page, i put everything back up....]

oh back in the day i used to write alot of stuff.
i MEAN creative writing. but for some reason i refused to let myself share...

the only stuff i've actually written/shared lately are english assignments and newspaper articles, which hasn't really been too creative.

i hate instructions, and i hate writers block.

but this might be the break i've been looking for...

agh help me before i lose my friggin' sanity.

11 days.

i need to free me.

i need to leave my mark before i go.

the walls speak to me, and i listen. they whisper the truth to me when nobody is around.
they beg me to do something to them, so i came up with a plan. i have what i need. i know why i am here now.

only thing is whether i can pull this off before the year ends. whether i have the balls to even do this.

i guess we'll find out in 26 days won't we?

Just wanted to get a few things out of the way first, then I'll go back into my little hole.

Finished my OCAD and Ryerson stuff last week, it went pretty okay. Not gonna bother with York. Now it's just playing the waiting game [I should find out by late-March hopefully].

If not screw it I'm taking a year off, screw my parents. I know people who are doing that anyways...

-Just finished tidying up my gallery again, mostly the older stuff.
-going to finish my damn website and put it up.
-Going to read The Mosquito Coast by Paul Theroux.
-currently stuck on Tegan and Sara [they're awesome, check them out]
-From now on, I think I'm gonna to keep low, deal with school/life stuff, make some plans for the summer. hopefully I can start to create some actual shit.

I keep coaxing myself to change, but nothing's really changed...I feel stuck. I've wasted so much time now just whining to myself instead of getting things done and out of the way.

I just finished the most depressing semester of my life. It's really sucked the life right out of me. I hate school now. Funny because I used to love going to class. Now I just hate it. Sameold sameold crap.

I'm sort of looking forward to second semester though (art/world issues/english), but at the same time I'm still worried and anxious about my portfolio, ya know what I mean?

I mean my portfolio is going OKAY I guess. It's just I don't feel inspired right now. I have tons of ideas, but so little time (interview on the 18th of Feb.), and of course I'm being my nitpicky self again, which has always proven to be a great hindrance. So far all my portfolio entries are just self portraits. I'm wondering if I should just be lazy and dig through some old stuff to put in. Plus I'm trying to focus on other aspects of my art but can't seem to motivate myself to do so. *sigh* I need some good dose of inspiration, fast.

Whatever, gotta start somewhere I guess. Only one way to go now! If I don't get into OCAD, well, I guess I can build myself a hippie shack in the middle of nowhere and live there for the rest of my life. Can't be too bad harhar. Do some freelance shit, you know. Blah. Who needs school right?

I'm sorry for all this pessimistic bullshit. I'll promise to make it up somehow. Perhaps some new art in the future? (A Warhol? Or perhaps another Hockney?)

Anyways, peace.

_{PS: I'm digging these new dA userpages. I can move stuffz around yay!}

Let me take a few moments to reflect upon the year that has past (more actually my life since every year has felt the same for me). I'll spare you all the details, and if I bore you, just feel free to skip to the bottom for my standard "happy new year" wish.

2008 marked the year when after seventeen years, I finally manged to tell myself "NO MORE"

I finally smacked myself to change. Change what though? That remains uncertain at this time, but I have a feeling that 2009 will bring some positive form of change.

So I'm going to be optimistic about the year ahead. Perhaps it give me a chance to clear up some old business and finally give me the new life I've so desperately sought all these years. Perhaps something grand will happen soon? Or maybe some sort of misfortune will befall me instead. All that matters is something will change, and I'm ready to embrace it, so bring it on life. I resolve not to be silent as I've always been. I resolve to make myself heard.

Whatever direction my life will take in 2009, I know the only way I can go now is forward. I must remind myself that even if everything is at stake, I must push down on the pedal as hard as I can, and hope for the best. 2009 will surely be the year where I either MAKE IT or BREAK IT.

Sometimes I think I'm better off not knowing where my life will be going this year. Perhaps it's more fun to be in the cloud of uncertainty for now...for perhaps it will lead to some exciting adventure (or misadventure) in the future!

Finally, I want to take some time to thank everyone who has inspired me to change. My friends (I hope I have earned the priviledge to call you that), my random watchers, and people out there who don't even know they've inspired me. I must apologize for borrowing your creativity (if that's what you call it) to further mine.

That's about all I have to say now. Before I go, I'd like to share some lyrics of a song I feel strongly about. [link]

Anyways, I'm done now. I gotta head out and celebrate new years. I must apologize again for wasting your time with my silly journal ramblings.

I wish everyone peace, love, and lots of creativity in the new year.

It's been a while since I last updated. Things are going well for the most part. I've been keeping myself busy.

Thanks for 2,000 page views! It's been slow (I was still at 500 a few months back).

I'll try to make your visit worthwile with some new stuff. Unforunately none of that is here as I still lack the motivation to get my ass off my bed and actually put my ideas to paper. I'll need to if I want to get to OCAD.

I did manage to finish my sketchbook cover last week, and a few drawings though.

On, and one more thing before you go.



Check my friend's gallery RIGHT NOW. It's WELL worth it! She's been around for awhile too! (I've been living under a rock lol)

Anyways, thanks again everybody! Love you all, thanks for the support! <3

You are beautiful.
You know I'm telling the truth....

Welcome to my new gallery. I've um, re-vamped stuff so hopefully you guys like it. I'll be focusing on more traditional media from now on (film/drawings hopefully) Now all I need is some inspiration......

Portfolio here. [link]

I also just posted my last batch of digitals, which are basically old pictures re-worked. Nothing new.

Look for more traditional media from now on. I look forward to sharing what little inspiration I have.

I'm nearly finished cleaning up my gallery/journal. Hope you enjoy!

My life for the most part has been good. Busy, but nothing super rough. I've been busy working, school/extracirriculars, and mainly developing my portfolio application for OCAD since university applications begin next month. So basically because of this, I've begun to show an apathetic attitude towards my other courses this semester (Math/Bio/Physics).

I've also spent the last two weekends cleaning up my gallery and journal too, rather than flooding my gallery with my usual mediocre crap. As you have noticed probably...

I don't have my camera at the moment (it's sitting at school), so don't count on any new photographs. I might scrap out some old ones, but don't count on much in terms of photography (at least until I get my SLR stuff). I might be going back to film for the time being.

My gallery should be taking a more traditional shift in the coming weeks and months, so expect alot less photos and deviations in general.

I realized the first-year programs at OCAD are actually general arts, and not just photography specifically, so to get in for any program, I actually have to show my ability (the ability that I don't have) in other forms of artistic media. SO I guess that means I gotta start drawing again, and I suck. Oh well, gotta start somewhere! Any ideas? I'm SO uninspired lol.

One more note, I'm almost done tweaking my Palin editorial for the school newspaper. I'll post it up as soon as it is completed/refined (which could be awhile considering my pickyness ).

Anyways thanks for watching, and bearing with me. I'll put something out soon! Now I gotta buzz, I'm hungry. Love you all.

So anyways the title says it all, I'll be out at my cottage all weekend at the French River (north, but not as far north as this summer's trip ). I'll be leaving tomorrow morning, and will not be back until Monday Evening. I shall post anything that comes out from that trip.

The fall colours up there will hopefully be nice, and hopefully I can pick up that memory card I left behind LAST YEAR.
[link]

I will be spending some of today commencing the cleanup of my deviantART account that I promised many times now. You may not notice much, but my gallery will become smaller in the coming weeks. If there's anything out there that you SERIOUSLY do not want me to archive, reply and I'll take it into consideration. I will also be cleaning out some bad journal entries to make things nicer.

I'll be posting a list of archived works soon, so stay tuned.

Overall, I'm pretty hyped for the long weekend.

May the force be with you. (oh shoot, I sound like a geeknerd now.)

Love y'all.
-Chris

In deviantart news, I posted two new deviations, which are poems! Yes, you heard me. I've decided to add more variety to my gallery, because I was getting tired of my gallery being flooded with photographs. I realized I'm still a mixed artist, and I wanted to show my watchers some of the other mediums I work with.

That's all, cheers.

I'd like to mention I was featured in two news articles recently, and let me say it was an honour to be featured with some really talented artists.

featured me in her news article "My Favourite Sky Photos "[link] The featured deviation was Guiding Light [link] an old sky photo I took a few months back.

featured me in his news article "All Things Red, Yellow, and Pink" [link] The featured deviation was God's Yellow Taxi [link] which was one of my more recent concepts.

Again, I would like to thank them both and link you guys to their galleries. They are truly worth looking at, as well as their respective news articles!

I would talk about my journey here, but I'd exhaust myself. All I can say it was a blast. Everything. The many hours and kilometers on the road, the nights I spent with my friends and family by the campfire, and of course Yearbook camp in North Bay was the best, despite the boring lectures on beginner photography and that dumb frisbee golf game they offered (who invented "Frolf" anyways?). It was REALLY nice to see some of my friends again.

Anyways I'm back now. Summer is almost over for me, and another school year is aroubnd the corner, and for some of you folks down south, it may have started already, and in which case I wish you the best of luck and excitement in the upcoming school year.

I'll be spending my last week of freedom here and around the house preparing for school. It's going to be a busy year for me, in fact, it will be my busiest.

Going into my final year of high school....I don't know what to think. What lies ahead of me? Will my efforts come to waste, or will they finally pay off? Will I make it big, or will I not? Will I reach my dreams? Needless to say, it is not the time to burden you guys with these uncertainties.

Got lots of pictures, don't know which ones to put up :S

Blah, thanks for reading yet another pointless journal entry.

Nah, I'll just be spending time at my yearbook camp, and then with my family for our annual getaway for the rest of the summer. Sorry if I kept repeating this haha, I'm just super-hyped.


While I am gone, I didn't want to bore my watchers.

So before I part, enjoy the quick horror manipulation I put up. One version is with text, and the other without.


And enjoy the remainder of your summers. I will finally be able to enjoy mine at the least. [Another sad reminder that school and busy life is around the corner for most of us again...]

See you guys at the end of August!

Yearbook camp and family camping in beautiful Northern Ontario starting next week.

I should bring back lots of pictures from this huge trip. Who knows, I might get to see a polar bear or two!

Oh, and I would like to thank for featuring my work on her journal. I really appreciate that you take the time to go take a look at her photography, as it is quite impressive!

See ya!

Life's been alot better now.

Time to fire up some tunes and hit the road on my hippie wagon!

Love you all!

(PS - Thought my journal could use a less-boring entry )

Anyways that meant I took a slew of pictures for Canada Day (HAPPY BELATED CANADA DAY 141 TO ALL MY FELLOW CANOOKS AND BEAVERS!!! )

So yeah, enjoy the fireworks, flags, random shots, and the general Canadian pride I've captured in these select few images.

Oh, and it's July. Will DA ever fix my mood button? I'm NOT feeling lazy!

Well I'll still be really busy with stuff, but I'll finally have some freakin' time for myself. Sheesh, wasn't too much to ask for eh?

Anyways I ran out of inspiration so I'm putting old pictures from awhile back instead. And I mean old.

So yeah, enjoy! I'll also get back to painting and drawing (if I can ever fix my dollar store art kit haha)

Have a great summer guys!

I got two more exams coming up. Tomorrow bio, Friday: photography.

And to celebrate me "studying" my bio, I uploaded 3 new pictures that will aid me in studying a bee's anatomy.

As for my photo exam. Ummm, I don't even know what to study >.<

Blah, oh well. Soon I'll be FREE from the grasps of education for the summer.

We went to the distillery district where I took at least 300 pictures of bands playing, and lots and lots of wonderful art. And the usual urban vistas downtown Toronto has to offer.

If I have time I'll upload the "non-DA/casual" pics somewhere after exams are over. But here's a small selection of some of my favourites from the trip today.

Cheers!

So...yeah....I'm nuts.

THIS IS SPARTAAAAAAAAAAA! [random]

Anyways yeah, busy week ahead, and very exhausted. I think I had a crazy Victoria Day haha, so yeah hitting the sack right now.

Goodnight, thanks to my watchers! Keep your eye tuned for some new (and potentially, shockingly different stuff) from me next weekend!

This week I can't say it was any easier to get through, but I'm happier than I was last week that's for sure.

I don't know. I've been going downtown Toronto alot lately. I went there on Wednesday and took some great rain shots from the car. Friday (today) I went on a field trip to OCAD [link] and I got to see Toronto again.

So yeah I have alot of digital pictures to show from my outings.

Unfortunately my film stuff isn't going that well due to my crazy-ass schedule, so I apologize for that.

Anyways this week was better than the last, and I managed to put everything back on track, at least for now.

Let's hope it stays that way, despite the fact exams are coming up next month. Blah.

Thanks for watching, enjoy the scraps and pictures!

-Chris

The winter's dragged me down alot. It snows, and it's all icy, no colours here yet, maybe that's why I feel sick partially.

Anyways I'll get past it in a few days based on what the doctor told me. I shall not share my illness and suffering with you any longer.

April will be a big month for more deviations, especially in photography! Roll 4 and 5 are coming along well, and you shall definitely see ALOT more from me this month.

Oh, I wanted to say I haven't forgotten traditional art My painting has gone awhile without attention, and I wanted to let you know I will definitely be transferring my sketches to canvas sometime this month. I hope to get the painting done by the summer. I might get some sketches under Scraps, so stay tuned guys. It's not all photography!

Finally, I would like to comment on the little April Fools joke. Good on you DeviantArt, even though I don't know what "mudkipz" is. It sounds like some random name you would give to a lightning Pokémon!

Anyways, I've been extremely blessed to be part of this wonderfully talented artistic community. I can't even describe it with words. Everyone here is amazing, and I'm just so glad, even if I'm only a "needle in the haystack" here.

I've been in and out of here. I know those few who have tagged along and watched me for all these months wish to see something new from me.

I will not disappoint you. Although I've only had 21 deviations this past year, I hope to post many more soon.

I've picked up my SLR camera and began shooting with it last month. I'm really excited about this, because I've never tried SLR, and it's always great to be experimenting with new mediums. Especially in photography. I can't wait to show you guys how my first roll turned out! So keep watching for those shortly! As well something new this year: So far my gallery has traditionally been visual. Well I've decided to start writing again. I should be able to get a small selection of writing in here sometime.

Anyways I've rambled long enough now, it's been a wild week as always, and I want to conclude by thanking those who have supported me, and that I look forward to actually contributing to this community this year. Keep watching!

Much Love to you all, and a Happy Belated Valentines day to you all! <3
-Chris

PS: So you don't get bored waiting, I've treated you guys to a little computer graphic I did awhile back, that I found digging through my school files today. Check my newest deviation for that!

This week was literally beyond words for me. I was all over the place. I don't know if I mean that literally or more figuratively. Doesn't really matter. I'd rather not discuss it here.

Anyways, I'm getting my first roll of SLR film rolls developed in a few days. I cannot wait to see what comes out of them. A few pictures may end up here soon, so stay tuned.

Asides from that I don't really know what to say. It's a nice afternoon? Blah.

Keep the peace, and spread the insanity!

It's the new year, and I couldn't be more excited! I'm so thrilled right now, and I am definitely looking forward for things to come!

I'll be starting Photography soon! The work will cover a range of emotions,, and I've been preparing a portfolio of some of my favourites in the months to come, so stay tuned!


I have an oil painting in the works, not sure if I'm going to post it.

Sadly, I don't expect to be doing too much computer art lately.

I sadly do not have much to offer, except the cover of my 2008 calendar I've been designing. Hope you enjoy that!

May you all have a Drastic and Fantastic New Year full of creativity and inspiration!

<3 Chris

Anyways, all that aside, I have something lighter to share.

A new deviation of my current project. It is a work in progress "sprite" card. It's a fun trend that's been evolving all around DeviantArt, and I highly suggest you check it out. I know I'm going to be doing one (hopefully I'll finish).

I updated my deviations with four new photos. (Well actually two )

They're both from my camping vacation in Northern Ontario this summer, and I'm really happy with them. I hope you enjoy them, and I have many more on the way!

Cheers and Love

I'm so tired though, I'm not sure why, but I wasn't feeling too well today. Bah, probably just exam stress?

Things will roll over. Now it's off to a good long sleep for me. Hope for a better morning tomorrow.
