Unfortunately after spending a few minutes here I just don't think I can deal with it. The work I'm doing now doesn't fit into any of the categories, and they make it very difficult to post such things. I've also gotten tired of the site asking me for money very quickly. I also have a few qualms with the website itself (it's very ugly).

If all of these problems get fixed I'll consider coming back, but in the meantime I'd like to let my old fans know I'm still working (and very hard). I keep a blog at [link] where you can see and comment on my newest work. I hope to see some of you there.

i'd also like to apologize for not commenting much one people works, they've been piling up in the hundreds in my inbox. i'll get through them eventually and hopefully have some feedback.

Then you compose them and try to find out where your center is. Making a mandala is a discipline for pulling all those scattered aspects of your life together, for finding a center and ordering yourself to it. you try to coordinate your circle with the universal circle."

my new website is slowly going up
very slowly
i'd love some feedback on it if anyone has a chance to take a look.

for the next two months i'm pretty much just trying to pass the time and hopefully make some money in between a few exciting things. most notably my best friend coming home, cirque du soliel (with her), and a road trip (with her), and finally MICA. i'll try and do some art too, just as soon as i find something inspiring.

i also sold thirteenish prints in the art show, which is nice.

i think i'll go stare at an empty page untill something beautiful happens.

if you havn't heard the new Modest Mouse album i recommend it.
and this is just like all my other journals... silly deviantart.

let's write little poems.

also, to anyone interested in my work who might like to purchase some prints. i don't think it'd be worth using deviantart prints, they'd take all my money and i don't know if i trust the quality of their prints, but if you send me an email/IM/note we could work out something and it would be awesome, i could use a few bucks here and there.

------
i have accomplished so little the past few days. that's really about it.
my friend and i are painting his guitar, i'll post it when it's finished.

i watched "The Science of Sleep" this afternoon. it was excellent and so much like the inside of my head. i recommend it and think might watch it a second time too. i also saw old school... which was... less inspiring, but i just have to say: "Fill it up again!!!"

i'll write some more when i have something to say.

new cds
sunny afternoons
memories
your little pictures
your smile, mostly when i make you smile
when you laugh at my stupid jokes
little gestures
your voice
"your face,
your grace,
the way that you talk,
i kiss you,
you're beautiful."

Be Here Now
‘I dreamt that it was all a dream’
just another hopeless fool
we must look silly in our corpses
fear is no weakness
I think I would be more worried about evaporation
(orange)
emerging from the static
I can’t say they never warned me
people never pretty from here do they?
Life Vest Under Your Seat
but I remember that night
If I were Anything more than this I’d Let You Know
in the cold we tended to our little fire with our breath and it breathed back at us
‘our fate is in gods hands. but god doesn’t always have the best god damn plans does he?’
If You are receiving this message
oh how we deceive ourselves
If I were any less helpless
I might ask you why you were crying
I have decided that You Are..
I know, but I will see you again
Volatile Clarity:
oh I have made a mess of this
or she Hates me
bi-polar bears
Don’t worry. I don’t understand either
“since you left me I’ve been eating only sweets cause they remind me of you.”
Don’t Remind Me
ok one last deep breath, hold it, let go.
but breathing mostly air
and in the End
This is that moment when I must not be afraid
here we stand at the edge of all reason to forget you one last time
Just to Wonder
I am a foolish foolish child but I am right about one thing. Too bad that was it.
I wrote you a blank letter. to tell you how I feel
‘But it Was all deceit”
The glass went dark again
“no sir, I’m not a pacifist. I’m a coward”
“I didn’t cry, but oh how I tried”
lets pretend that everything is going to be alright
I feel a change of hue
“I’m gonna remember to remember to forget you forgot me.”
all this to follow one white rabbit down her little dark rabbit hole
dropped sins into my pocketful of purgatory
of flesh warm breath and diamonds
pulling up roots
for fear of losing words
how to be: everything, always
they said these moments only came in movies, they were wrong
what I’d do to see you smile
I wrote you a blank latter
just to tell you how I feel
but only cause my pen ran dry
How can I make this more interesting:
If you’d only give me the chance to
afterwards, they coughed and gagged so much you’d think they were allergic to the prayer
my clocks been flashing twelve o’clock for weeks
this is my edge
of all the worlds I’ve seen within myself
these are, by far, the most
“no he won’t die, He’ll be back in an hour or so.”
too much to say
Don’t worry, we’re all just a little paralyzed
Just one world away
this must be the way I see it
lets pretend that everything will be ok
we hatched Monsters from our memories
Just don’t ask me where I’m going
It’s Beautiful But The City Will devour you
If I had seams they would be slipping
Breathing in the words of the Good Book
“Nihilists with good imaginations”
These hands…

my computer just got more ram, that might mean i can do more complex vector things, particularly those incorporating raster images.

There's no knowing where we're rowing
Or which way the river's flowing
Is it raining?
Is it snowing?
Is a hurricane a-blowing?"

happy new year

i havn't been able to get any digital work done, i've been too busy and my computer has been incredibly disfunctional. i think i have a few vector peices to finish, maybe i can do that over christmas break. i have been sketching a lot (as usual) and will be posting more sketches. i also have to photograph things for my breadth section of my ap so i'll post some of those pictures as well in the next few days.

i also might type up a poem or two from my sketchbook and post them. more likely i'll open my book type the first to lines, feel disgusted and go to sleep.
but we'll see

i just watched the fountain. it was a litte out there, but quite beautiful. i also have to recommend royksopp's music videos. i would also appreciate some feedback on the sketches i think i just posted, but my computer is being grumpy so i'm not sure if they actually uploaded or not.

sorry for the lack of art lately. i'm still not very inspired. all i've done since school's started is school assignments and drawings in my sketchbook. if i have time/my computer feels like working i'll post a couple of those. i did some work on a vector peice today as well, it's looking better than i expected, but i didn't expect much. we'll see how it ends up.

other than that, i saw ladytron on friday, they were amazing, and i'll be seeing broken social scene next month (sqeals like twelve year old girl... somewhere deep deep inside).

i feel i'm getting nowhere at the moment. between, school, college apps, some other things i wont mention, and generally being back at westminster, again, i'm a little stressed. i don't work well under a lot of stress. so... i don't know, i need to make more art.

i'm making another word-block piece, or whatever you'd like to call it. this one is big, and in ink. it's looking ok, but this idea really isn't developing at all and i'm just doing the same thing again.

somebody inspire me eh? or buy me a case of vault? i'm running a little low

"did anyone else notice the lights change?"

"the only difference between me and a madman is that i am not mad."


i said goodbye this morning to my best friend, who is, as most of you who read my journals know, going to italy for the year. i'll miss her dearly, but i'll get by, i think. it'll be good for her too and i might see her over spring break. i don't know, i'm not feeling all that motivated about school these days, it'll take me a little while to get used to it.
in any case i just got back from studio a little while ago and now i have to write two papers and do math hw. i'm sure it'll be oodles of fun.

scratch the math hw, definitely don't have the energy for that

i managed to survive my first day of school. i'd slept for three minutes at the very most the night before, so it was an odd day.
i spent today at a party for my best friend who'se going to italy in a few weeks. which sucks, but it'll be good for her.

i'll be honest, i'm not excited about this year, i already have a bunch of schoolwork to do tomorrow and two hours of sat prep. however, i have a free period (which is exciting in itself, i've never had one of those before) both before and after my art class. so i think i'll just end up with a three hour art period.

and one more thing, to all you mica people. i really miss you guys. westminster's great and all, and the people are much better than i give credit, but i miss mica so much. there's something about a forty second walk to see my friends whenever i want, something about freezer art, something even, about forty second breakfasts at the hoff.
oh well. hopefully i'll be seeing some of you soon

------

come now deviantart, we've seen enough naked women already, it's just not necessary. i try and keep an open mind, but lets be honest, there are certain poses, which without a well developed idea, maybe an artist statement, something, anything, it's just not art. i think most people here know what i'm talking about.
and another thing enough with that anime. kudo's to the person who created it, and perhaps the occasional person who does they're own thing with it, but everyone else needs to create they're own damn style. it's not art to draw images verbatem from a television program.
and yet another thing, there are some great vector artists on here and i've always enjoyed looking through the vector galleries, but i would also like to lash out at everyone who takes a photo from the internet and draws over it in illustrator and calls it art. lets at least pretend to be creative here.

i think that my point is more people need to start being creative around here. lets all make a collective effort, i know how difficult it will be, to not post things copied from television or movies, especially exact copies of cartoon characters. so that i and the rest of us artists around here can look browse through the work on this site and not want to swallow our tounge.

ok i'm done

on another note... no that's it
oh wait, i do have something else, i'm making a new website, i think it'll be better than the last. it'll be up, maybe even with a fancy, not really long url, in the next few days. i'd love some feedback on it when it is.

and enjoying a vault or two in the process (again with that whole dancing buisness)
still more sketchbook pages to post, but i'm still a slacker, even when it comes to deviantart

and before i forget: happy gay sex tuesday!

so as i was driving about today i got to thinking, 'man i really want to go home' by home i meant mica. alas.
anyway, i just downloaded all my photo's from my camera so i'll post some snapshots of mica/art-ish photographs/photomanipulations and other stuff in the next few days.
i also got a 5 in ap art (w00t!) so i'm feeling fairly motivated.
i also have 240 messages (after already deleting some), which probably means i'll procrastinate a few more days before going through them all... but eventually i'll get to it.

oh and did i mention:
Pre-College Does it in Groups of Three

but it was pretty much awesome. i'll miss all my mica buddies dearly. hopefully i'll see some of you again soon. and of course i'll miss stairwell dance parties, and arties. i might even miss the hoff a little, but just a little.

i havn't gotten around DA much lately but i try to take a look through the gallery of anyone who comments on my work or adds it to their favorites so if you like my work/think i might like your work/are just passing though and want some more people to see your gallery, leave my a comment somewhere.


leaving for MICA tomorrow. i don't know how much i'll be able to get on the internet, so i may or not be able to respond to comments and certainly wont be able to post any new artwork. (in other news: stain resistant pants are the shit, i just want to point that out.) so i hope everyone can get by without me for a month. I have faith in you.
farewell all

well... there goes that year
doesn't really feel like it ever ended, just sort of drifted off. i wonder if thats how it is every year for everyone and people just don't remember.

i can't wait till the mica summer art program i'm doing, it'll be a needed break, which the rest of my summer at home will not be.

trying to do some art but my family thinks that i should be doing something productive. i've managed to start two vector pieces i'll post sometime, perhaps now, and i still need to finish that drawing (it'll be good, i swear).

good luck to all on anything, and goodnight.

i thought i'd give a brief update:
halfway through exams (uhg..)
science olympiad nationals last weekend, (22nd place...)
still not doing much art but i've got one vector piece i've been working on between studying for exams, a drawing too that's almost done

Numerous attmpts were made on his life, few succeeded
arhythmic
someday we'll get married, for tax reasons
a lonely poison
see what you want
box
just to make you wish i'd never been there for you
the kind of girl all in black, save bright pink socks and purse to match
Infection-paranoia feeding of my blood supply
'keep seatbelt fasted while seated'
memory desperate for attention
'careful, the beverage you are about to enjoy is extremely hot'
Here is another phrase in conversation between inside and out
cut-off paranoia
where your as low as you can go, just be glad it can't get any worse. but not too glad.
i get the sense i'm bing watched
Intro vert
Hedge
fat man in a skinny suit
I've been...
'I'm creeping back to life, my nerbous system's all awry'
strategic flow of crumbling dreams
of course we're scared but not of you
memories that havn't passes of people with no faces yet
'Do Nothing, Be Nothing'
i'll see you at the book burning
love like paper hearts
journey from the astral plains
there are no words
what manner of dream is this?
'i've already written a million beginnings''I've written a million ends, now we just need someone who writes middles.'
wont you just stop Narrating?
save the earth: recycle your thoughts
inspired by giants
A Split in his head let out the Devils, eager to see the Daylight Hid Outside his Shadowed Brain
pocket angel
self: redefine
wastelands
Department of Motor Wheelchairs
outlet
life is Case Sensitive
silicon psychodelics
tear you thought from thought
Spontaneous combustion of intellect
If only robots could dance like this
White knuckles grasping for the angel in her pocket
Catastrophism
rehabilitation
I thought I'd let you know who you are, but there are no words
to bring together How things fell apart
stream of semi-conciousness
thin visions
burn the witch

don't swallow staples
set me free surrealist epic
confessions of a teenage phantasie
I tore up the final page with vengance

Fight the worms
The Universe, in no particular order
lets light the stars on fire
Particles in motion
Keep not swallowing staples!
so this is what they meant...
I got a soul, cheap, but they took it
diary of a non-conformist
meandering of a distraught mind
surreal projecton of life

my desperat nothings

potentially incoherent
shots in the dark
nothing but A SuiciDal KleptoManiac TRAPPED ina Bullet shop

someday they'll stop trying
SMILE
My Tumor Blooming in My Brain
and yet again a little something different
you can't reach me here
doesn't this music just make you want to dance in slow motion?
Turn the music up so I can't hear myself singing
Well... it was a nice idea
*sigh
Trapped within my own cramped defenses
Best Before End
alright... you win.
logical progression of disjointed blathering
Alas, they have not stopped trying but at least they still can try
From the cracks in the walls
as you devour your bastard king
disregard the little man in my head
different, but only beacuase you accept that you are just like everyone else
Bleed your sould crushed love mask into paper cups
To drown out my thoughts
and every now and then such a good thing
NO SECRETS
mingled treasons of out lonely minds
to descend within myself
lets write a play
please dont' cry
rEvolutions of a distraught mind

i've got a couple ideas but not really enough time to flesh any of them out. i'll probably get a couple little mechanical-esque minimalist pieces done in the next few weeks (the first one is in my gallery), and if i can i'll try to see what i can do with that idea in illustrator.

i've made a huge list of bands to look up in response to a forum thread i started. it'll take me a while to get through all of it, but i've already found a couple bands that i really like.

i just saw the Cirque du Soleil show "Delirium" it was absolutly fabulous, i feel small now. ok, so that was a little redundant. i could swear i had more to say than that. but that would be a lie so i won't. happy april 3 everyone!

i reorganized my photomanipulations a little now that they put an abstract category. i've applied for a summer art program and mica, hopfully i'll get accepted. that should be fun. my science olympiad team also got to the national tournament. i know it sounds nerdy but it's kind of huge, especially for college apps. the tournament unfortunately is the weekend before exams and involves a nine hour bus drive both ways. on top of that i've also got much too much schoolwork, sats this weekend, prom (uhg), science olympiad t-shit to design, ap portfolio to put together (i'm not in the ap class), and then that whole life thing i'm trying to work in there. it's a party.

i would just like to point out that for the most part everything in my work is intentional (including capitalization and punctuation/lack thereof). i just wanted to say this because i feel like i've gotten a lot of comments saying to remove key parts or colors of peices and such things. it seems like people are missing the point of my work.

on that note feel free to explicate/interpret anything. it all, of course, has a lot of meaning, but it doesn't have to mean the same to everyone. thus is art. and i'd love to hear what other people see in my work and how it compares to what i want to say.

i finally got some decent pictures of some of my ceramics so i'll be reposting some of them and probably adding a ceramics gallery to my website if i can manage to make room for it.

---my website is finially working and almost finished please check it out, i'd really appreciate any feedback.---

i've noticed i have a tendancy to make people around here mad at me. i think that's partly due to the fact that i'm a fairly sarcastic person and on the internet people who don't know me can't pick up on that and think i'm being mean. (that or i might just be a mean person, i dunno.) i also look down a little on a lot of the artwork on this site, i.e. all the people who can't draw to save their life and make fractal 'art' or trace other people photograph verbatim in a vector program or with airbrushes. of course all of these things are useful tools which i myself use, but when someone does only one thing exclusively tends to say to me that they are limited by that and without the crutch of a fractal program or vector program they couldn't create any art.... so.. i guess i should say something meaningful now. fischerspooner's pretty awesome.

i think i'll make a picture, as seems to be the tradition around here, for whoever gets my 2000th pageview (or closest to it). a wallpaper i think would make the most sense.

a.m.... very a.m.
sleep is gradually, yet effectively being replaced my caffene. science olympiad tournament is in two days. i've been working late for that every day the past two weeks or so and shall again tomorrow. now i'm trying to get some things printed for our critique in art class tomorrow. my printer will not cooperate. and just as i finished that sentence it ran out of ink. *sigh. hopefully after this week i should be able to get back on a reasonable schedule.

i'm working on some bigger mixed media pieces (mostly charcoal) in class. some of them are turning out alright and might be posted in a couple weeks.

my website is probably still not working. for some reason it doesn't like to upload things. but here's what i've got up so far.

sorry for not submitting much the past few days. i've been very busy and taking a lot of time on a very few pages in my sketchbook. however soon i should have some bigger drawings and some more sketchbook pages and hopefully i'll get some digital stuff done this weekend. and that website... but i'm not so optomistic.

i'm in a fight with the internet, trying to get my website working
hopefully it'll all be working soon, in the meantime if it is at all it's neither finished or up to date

i think the vector, digital, and drawing galleries should be working now but they're not very current

volume II is finally over, and i just posted my last page (i started numbering when i started posting the pages, which was well into in already, 36 pages to the end to be precise. most of what came before than wasn't so good anyway). i'm already working on volume III.

my submission (mindscape v2 i believe it is titled in my gallery) to the Scholastic art competition was accepted to the state-wide exhibition. i'll find out saturday if it will go on to be judged at the national level.

i'll try and get my website up and running in the next few weeks too. we shall see how much time i have to get that done.

another year past...
i hope everyone enjoyed their holidays.

i've been doing some things in Apophysis to create some textures/elements to use in some pieces. i appreciate any feedback on how that's going.

feel free to IM or email me too for any reason. i'd love to talk some more with some fellow artists around here.

the semester is finally over and i survived exams. (w00t!)
hopefully i'll be able to work on some art things over the next two weeks. i'm working on a vector piece ('wasteland') that's somewhat more involved than what i've already done. that should be done in the next couple days. and i've got a drawing/painting thing but that might take me a while to get done.

just finished "The Bell Jar" by Sylvia Plath. it's very good, terrifying, but very good. now i'm on to another happy bit of literature.

happy holidays to all
