MWAHAHAHAHAHA!

I'm all ready for Thanksgiving, it's just going to be me, my mother, and my brother. After dinner we usually end up playing Exquisite Corpse, I still have the drawings from last year somewhere... I'll post this year's if they don't come out too obscene.

I have all kinds of older unfinished things that I don't feel like working on. My faux skull that I started painting in a blue delftware style sits on top of my monitor every day, glaring at me because I'm not working on it.
I haven't worked on my dollhouse in a loooong time.
I have so much paper, pens, pencils, colored pencils, paints of various types, glitter, etc... I feel terrible for letting them just sit there.

I guess I'm going to keep crapping out ink drawings... at least they're SOMETHING, right?

Ten more pageviews and there will have been 25,000. Pageviews aren't my goal here, but I do enjoy having made people look at my drawings. What has been seen cannot be unseen. Or something like that.

I'm going to bake cookies- Chocolate Walnut Abominations... I couldn't find my Great-Granny's recipe for Peanut Butter Genocides or her recipe for Raisin Spice Atrocities. I think the cookbook they're in is in storage. But I can make Abominations from memory.

Things that make me happy:
1. This video of yummy baked goods: [link]
Watch it, it's lovely. DO IT.

2. Walton Ford's Pancha Tantra is available in a non-deluxe (less than several thousand $$$) version- finally. Guess what I will buying myself for my birthday?

3. The fact that my bathroom spider is alive- I saw what I thought was her dead and shriveled corpse in her web... then I realized it was just spider husk and she was just hiding behind the ceramic gnome on my counter. I will extract the husk from her web if I can without scaring her. I don't know if I should eat it or use it.

Things that make me unhappy:
1. My eye hurts, it's my contact lens, it burrrrrns.

2. I forgot a small bag with precious nesting material at work, and I'm sure it'll be gone when I come back in Saturday.

3. I've been eating too much sugar, and my body is angry at me for it.

I know most of the people on my watch list want to see me post art and have no interest in reading stuff like this, but too bad, you read it and now you can't un-read it.

In other news, dear little Hans is home from the asylum for a visit. I'd mixed up my dates and accidentally left him in his crate at the train station for several days.
When my driver arrived and opened the crate, he said Hans was unable to speak except for low growling sounds and faint, scratchy crying sounds. He also said Hans had a look of pure evil in his blank, white eyes and had a foul smell about him.
Thank goodness the ordeal didn't change my Hans in the slightest!

I will be staying at home with family this week, in seclusion. I was most offended when, at yesterday's visit to the tea parlor, Lady Billingham implied that it was wrong of me to allow the hospital to treat Hans as a charity case! The nerve of the woman! She doesn't know the terrible financial situation my family has been in as of late!
I'm ashamed to admit this, but I was only able to purchase new hats for the early and mid-Autumn season. I shan't be able to buy any for the late season at all.
I'm having a local milliner alter some of my hats from earlier in the season... it's so embarassing, I could weep.

I looked like the crazy person of the store. I just wore a purple dress I had, silver slip-on sneakers and a silver fairy wand. Nothing exciting.

So Thanksgiving is next and I'll do the same thing I always do- cook a vegetarian dinner and eat it with my mother and my brother. It's always fun, though. We usually end up playing Exquisite Corpse and producing some really twisted drawings.

I'm looking forward to winter but won't be celebrating Giftmas or Excessmas, and Christmas isn't a religious holiday for me. I will put up decorations and decorate trees, though. And cooking lebkuchen (it's GINGERBREAD if I say it is!!!!) and braided stollen, other cookies and several types of fudge.
And December 21st is the first day of winter, the Holiday Pig doesn't come in our house (no children here) but it is tradition to leave food for her outside for when she passes by the area... carrots and apples usually.

What are you doing for holidays in November and December?

I did go to the Halloween party and enjoyed it, I feel proud of myself for doing something social with humans. I want to do other social things now but nothing springs to mind. I suppose I could kidnap people at gunpoint and force them to play Candyland with me. I've done it before, I can do it again.

In other news, dear little Hans will be allowed to be home for Halloween- our family lawyer signed the releases necessary for him to be out of the asylum for the night.
Betsy will prepare a roast with meat she got from the boy who works at the market. Alas, she was unable to obtain the white currants and hazelnuts she needs to prepare her special dressing. I must ask Lord Michael to purchase some at the little import market down by the docks, when he next stops there to beat drunken sailors bloody with his walking stick (it's such a more wholesome pastime for him than some of his past pursuits). I am determined to have a very special holiday meal for Hans's visit!

I must mention that I overindulged on cinnamon mints while at tea today. Hans's uncle said I should write of this dreadfully unladylike transgression, or he would be most cross.
Although he is quite the refined gentleman, he can have a temper and I don't wish to anger him. Why, last week he ripped the facial skin off Lady Worthington's butler after the man spilled coffee on his new silk shirt. Thank goodness it was only a member of the serving class and not a real person!
I gave the shirt to Betsy to clean, and she was able to remove the spill before it could stain. And I am loaning Fredrick to poor Lady Worthington until she can find a new butler.

I'm working on an ink drawing with a lot of little details, and Sculpey horns to wear next Saturday to a party.
The drawing has a story to go with it, I don't know if people will enjoy it or not, but I do.
If I can get the horns to work, I'll post a picture of me wearing them- I'm creepy but it'll Halloween time so it'll be appropriate. I guess I'm dressing as a slightly slutty horned creature for the party.
I don't know if I'm dressing up for Halloween itself. I do enjoy creating realistic head injuries and bruises with makeup, for when I hand out candy to the kids. Last year I pretended to be a domestic violence victim and told people I had accidentally walked into a doorway. Halloween should NOT be about good taste.

Maybe it's brain parasites. I don't think it is anemia (which I've had before), I'm taking vitamins with iron as I'm supposed to. It's either brain parasites or outside forces... a lot of my dreams lately have had messages or learning experiences. LOL.

Unrelated to the sleep issues, but I get the feeling I'm the village idiot sometimes. I've been experiencing a lot of self-loathing lately.
Maybe it is related to the sleep issues. Curling in a ball under piles of bedding is a comforting way to not deal with reality. If I can sleep all the time, I won't have to worry about hating myself or being stupid.

Now, my throat is sort of congested also, and I'm trying to figure out how to make a neti pot-like device for that. I think if I make a hole in my neck and use my tea kettle to pour water into it, it will flush out all the gunk.

I'm in a good mood today because it is actually nice enough to have the windows open instead of the AC on, the nights are getting colder... it's getting to be my favorite time of year.
I like to be able to pile my bed with layers and layers of blankets and comforters until they are at least a foot high, it's very soothing to sleep under. Plus my cats tend to cuddle more when it is cold.

I bought a neti pot that I will try using tomorrow. I'm just afraid I'll end up killing myself, I don't want to drown. And saline seems like it would sting, I have a small bottle of Absolut Ruby Red that I will try rinsing with first before I attempt the saline solution.

Hans has been terribly fussy today. I took him in for his hydrotherapy, and the attendant turned on the water hoses too high, leaving a slight dent in the side of Hans's head. I suppose I should bring it up to the doctor, but he is such a busy man, and already so kind to take little Hans in as a charity case. It is ever so hard, raising a sickly child without the support of his father.

Anyway. I'm posting one quick drawing tonight. I have so many ideas I've written down when I was in a fever/ cough syrup-induced haze, and so many projects I have to finish. I have five days off in a row coming up in less than a week, and I really look forward to them.

One of my coworkers is having a Halloween party. On one hand I really want to go and see my coworkers drunk and in costume. And I'm supposed to interact with humans. But on the other hand I don't like being around a lot of people I don't know well. And I get the feeling I'll have an anxiety attack or get drunk, and then people will draw on my face with sharpie when I'm passed out.

So I'm all, "I'll always be alone! Yayyyy! That sucks. But Yaaaayyy!"
It is a very interesting way to feel.
No one likes me for who I am. Wahhhhhhhhh.

I'm actually surprised quite a few people voted for my blood art... I always thought it was more something in my gallery that people didn't like but put up with. Maybe I feel that way because it is more personal that other arrrrts and I do it without specifically setting out to create a piece of art sometimes.

]]> *pink-porcupine http://pink-porcupine.deviantart.com/journal/27531396/ http://pink-porcupine.deviantart.com/journal/27531396/ Thu, 01 Oct 2009 23:04:01 PDT I'm HAPPY. And a bit hyper, too much caffine today, but I take pills to sleep anyway, so I figure why not?

I've been thinking today, I'd like it if I COULD sell my drawings, so I'd have extra money. But there is no way in hell I'd walk into one of the little galleries close to the downtown area and ask them for my opinions on my drawings. I need to find a pimp, do they have pimps for art? There's no Pimps 'R' Us stores in the area. And I feel weird when people in the real world know what I draw, it is very uncomfortable for me and there are very few people I can show it too without feeling I'm being looked at as a creep. So, yeah, it wouldn't work out. But at least I have my regular job, which is SUPER AWESOME and I have the BEST CUSTOMERS EVER. LOL.

Tomorrow is payday for me, at least, and I can take a bus to the arts 'n' crafts store for supplies. And there is a Cost Plus World Market near that store, I can stock up on CANNNNDDDDYYYY.
Oh god marizpan covered in dark chocolate oh god oh god oh god. And there is an Ulta between those two stores and I can get MOAR GLITTER EYELINER IN DIFFERENT SHADES. Yesssssssss.

So whoever wants to create problems just because they're able to can go on being miserable and uptight.

The draguanas, the seat cushion & back, and the apples/ strawberry/ cherries look flat like they are just pasted in. There is no sense that they are rounded actual things that are there in the scene.
2. The backs of her knees should have lines to indicate the concave area there.
3. Candy canes in the candy cane forest are drawn crooked and the stripes are inconsistant.
4. The heart was drawn without me consulting a picture of a real heart and so it doesn't look anywhere near as realisitc as it should.
5. The murder victim to the left could easily be a big pile of spaghetti.
6. Waldo is poorly drawn which may hinder some from properly Finding Waldo.
7. The mask on the window seat is too flat and not the right shape.
8. The silhouettes and the frames they are in are poorly drawn, the silhouettes themself aren't as detailed or crisp as they should be, and the frames are a joke.
9. Her arms don't look right, the one to the left doesn't look the way a bent arm viewed from behind should look, and the one to the right is too straight and doesn't taper to the wrist properly.
10. The patterns on the rug, fabrics, and wallpaper are hastily done and don't really repeat as patterns.
11. Her hair should have had texture to it rather than being solid flat black.
12. The drapes are fucked up.

I'm not just randomly beating myself up over this, I'm looking through and trying to learn from my mistakes.

Something I did find interesting were the similarities to this drawing I did over two years ago: [link] I didn't have it in mind while I was doing this recent one but right after I finished it I was looking back through my gallery and noticed:
1. The curve of hair hair on the left side of the paper is similar to the lines on the left side in the older drawing.
2. Each has an empty chair, someone's bare ass, a snake slithering under folds of draped fabric, fabric with large floral prints, and a back wall in a similar position on the paper (both of which have a similar sized and shaped window).
3. The candy cane forest and the striped ghost creature are in similar spots with similar stripes.

The newer picture has items scattered here and there, but no actual hidden pictures that are actually worked into the lines like in the older picture.

I thought it was interesting, at least.

I had two 16oz Red Bulls and three cups of coffee today so I will be up working on arrrrrrts for a while tonight... more work on my face and some pencil drawings. I HATE that I keep getting ideas and don't seem to finish anything. But I keep getting hit with things I HAVE to draw.

]]> *pink-porcupine http://pink-porcupine.deviantart.com/journal/27459779/ http://pink-porcupine.deviantart.com/journal/27459779/ Mon, 28 Sep 2009 00:10:50 PDT As someone who hasn't had much experience interacting with humans, I'm starting to become quite delighted with just talking and interacting with interesting people... humans have so many wonderful thought nuggets in their heads, and you can't just saw off the tops of their skulls to get to them (I tried).

I found a block of fimo, maybe half a pound? It is white but I'm going to paint the face I'm working on anyway, so it doesn't matter. And I got a 40% off one item coupon for Michael's arts&crafts, so I can buy more Sculpey soon. I'm just waiting for a refund on something I was overcharged for... I bought myself a copy of 'The Dr Ikkaku Ochi Collection: Medical Photographs from Japan Around 1900' and I can't wait. Now that I'm making Sculpey faces I'm hoping it will be a great source of inspiration.

I'm just going to take 20mg of Melatonin or so, I hate to use that many since I'm running low but it should help me fall asleep.

]]> *pink-porcupine http://pink-porcupine.deviantart.com/journal/27418908/ http://pink-porcupine.deviantart.com/journal/27418908/ Fri, 25 Sep 2009 22:07:34 PDT I'm slightly horrified, I bought this Yoville guy a bikini bottom and let him see the adult playroom in my apartment before I realized he was THIRTEEN YEARS OLD. Oh god I'm glad I didn't do anything with him. Oh god.

Yeah. So anyway I just let my mind wander and did some quick pictures on black paper while I was playing before the child molestation incident. I tried to use some color.

I've been working on another Sculpey face, but it isn't finished, I ran out of Sculpey. I've used about a pound and a half of Sculpey on it... I hope there is a Michael's coupon in the paper Sunday, so I can go and buy more. I smooshed all the unbaked projects I had to add to the face, and I even used the chunklet I use to stick incense sticks in (yeah, I'm too cheap to buy a $3 holder).
The problem is that it was supposed to just be the lower part of a face, but I decided to sculpt the upper part, too (with the eyes closed) and now it is heavy and time consuming. But otherwise I'm satisfied with the progress.

I realized why I've been feeling lazy and not wanting to talk to people much... just PMS I guess.
The other day I was sort of sitting/ crouching crosslegged on my bed, nekkid, and I felt something on my ankle. I looked down and my legs and ankles were covered in blood, like someone tried sawing my feet off or something. It was just slowly pouring out. D:
I had to wipe it off with kleenex and throw on a robe before I could hobble out to the bathroom to take a shower. But seriously, it was hilariously bloody.

Do I have to put my face on it? No one wants to be looking at my face... is it just for photos or what? I don't knooooowwwwww.

I found my old pictures and worked on them some more, and I am trying to start another Sculpey face... I'm going to buy a heat gun next month, to use on precious metal clay but also to use on Sculpey projects... eeeeeeeeeee I'm excited about projects!

Go nuts, as long as you aren't claiming the artwork as your own, etc... If I ever change my mind on that, I will let everyone know, and probably put watermarks on whatever pictures I don't want to be copied. Right now, I don't give a fuck.

Hugs to everyone who was so supportive and nice to me on my last journal entry! But not real hugs, since close contact with people I don't know well makes me uncomfortable. Pretend hugs are the best, that way you don't get my lipstick on you.

The censorship here on DA is ridiculous... drawings depicting consensual sex acts, in a way that wasn't graphic or vulgar (in my opinion at least), put behind a mature warning that prevented minors from seeing it are deleted. And so much creepy, disturbing shit is allowed to stay.
Ah well.

I did a little drawing when I came home from work and posted it, I still can't find my drawings I wanted to work on. I do believe *Guppy1060 snuck into my house and hid them, and then blamed it on my cats. He also may have rearranged my little jointed drawing model mannikins into obscene positions, but that was mostly my cats who actually did that. The little perverts have done it before.
So yeah. I have tomorrow off and will work on arrrrtts then, and hopefully post something. Right now I'm going taking a huge dose of melatonin and going to bed... I've been having beautiful and disturbing dreams and I want more.

This is EXCELLENT: [link] A more in depth explanation of what is and isn't appropriate here on DA. Someone put quite a bit of thought into that. And apparently my nipples are dirty, dirty things because of my sex. But men's nipples are fine.

Ahhhh, and if whoever reported me is reading this- I'm sure I'm far nicer, more talented, better looking, and just overall more awesome than you will ever be. So take whatever satisfaction you can over reporting pictures (which were set up so no minors could view them) that didn't fit in with what your narrow little mind deems acceptable. You can go fuck yourself, and I can go draw!

I can't find any of the drawings I was supposed to finish up. I just had them yesterday.
I did find some old ones, some I don't even remember drawing. There's one with a girl being chased though the woods by wolves, coming into a clearing where the trees have sweets growing on them, and there is the giant head of Harriet Tubman coming out of the ground. I vaguely remember looking up pictures of Tubman to use as a reference. I have no idea what the idea behind the picture was.

Now I cover my printer when it is not in use.

I have a lot of pictures started and I keep starting more. I suppose it's good that I'm working on arts at least?

I'm trying to work on how I feel about my pictures. For quite some time I was paranoid that all my drawings were unoriginal and clichéd. I still worry about that from time to time but I'm much better. Right now I'd like to stop being so hard on myself and try to see positive in my art, rather than only see the negative.
And I am working on not self-censoring my art.
I mainly censor myself in three ways-
1. I hesitate to draw/ post certain things out of fear that people will see them and think I'm crazy.
2. I hesitate to draw certain things because I worry that I AM crazy, and once those images are out of my head, I'll have tangible proof that I am.
3. I don't even allow my mind to roam to certain places. I want to let it run free, but I know I'm really restraining it. I need to go to a grassy field, saw off the top of my head, set my brain down on the ground and give it a gentle nudge. Go free little brain!

Right now I only want to work with blood art, but I'm not bleeding now. I have one paper from nearly four months ago with the lightest bits of dried blood on them. I'm trying to work it into a drawing of a myrtle branch, using thin brown ink pens and dabs of gold paint pens.

Have you seen Jordan McKenzie's "Spent" series? He masturbated on canvas and applied graphite powder to them, they're actually quite beautiful. If I produced semen I'd totally be doing this sort of thing. But I enjoy my blood art quite a bit. It's so wonderful to create art with blood that has circulated through my heart and my brain.

I just discovered that there is a culinary arts section of Deviantart. Nobody seems to post their recipes, but that's okay, because I don't want their goddman recipes anyway.
But maybe I'll post pictures of cookies and things I make in the future. I'm making peanut butter, cocoa/ chocolate/ walnut/ white chocolate, and maybe oatmeal/ spice/ raisin cookies today. I don't know if I have enough spices for the oatmeal ones- I purged the spice cupboard of expired crap and I don't even think I have mace or powdered cloves anymore.
I want to modify my peanut butter cookie recipe to a cashew butter recipe, but I don't want to buy cashew butter and whole cashews right now. But, for the future, I think they'd be yummy with enough sugar and good vanilla, and a sprinkling on top of chunky sugar and a few bits of chunky pink or red salt.

I'm painting a not-too-fake-looking skull I got at my work, in a blue-on-white Delftware design, inspired by Charles Krafft's lovely art.
