Almost twenty by now. Half-assedly working on a portfolio for that long-off someday where I apply to art school. Drawing a lot of strange boys. Bought a scanner, will have to re-scan some old sketches, for now it's all very recent stuff with a lot of tedious pencilwork.

Interested parties should check out the artlulz comm on livejournal. We're hosting AIM chats with prompts and fifteen-to-thirty-minute drawing sessions, and weekly assignments. It's fun and very good practice, anyone is welcome, no journal required, though we'd prefer people over the age of 18, since a lot of adult concepts get tossed around.

Not much else to say.

Or, does anyone know how I can make my tablet pen pressure-sensitive in all programs (including photoshop)? That's really the only reason I want openCanvas, because at the moment it's the only program that works that way with my tablet. @___@

Can't get over the part where Joker grab's Batman's ass. Beautiful. Best scene EVER.

Anyone else in stitches over this? ]]> ~sparrowette http://sparrowette.deviantart.com/journal/7064438/ http://sparrowette.deviantart.com/journal/7064438/ Wed, 16 Nov 2005 14:32:41 PST
I don't know how to do screenshots, so if anyone would be willing to snag one for me, when I reach 2,000, I'd be eternally grateful. *wants to doodle on it in Photoshop*

Other than that...eh...I'm back from my trip. Have been for a full week. I'm sorry I'm so bad at updating this thing, *dies*.



Question: If I got some funds together, does anyone think it'd be worthwhile for me to purchase a prints account? I'll prolly buy one just so I can use it in the future, but does anyone think there are any entries in my gallery that'd be worthy of printing?

Other news: I finally came around and decided I want to go to art school. Things are looking up, I'm going to be doing some oil paintings, 3D pieces, and taking life-drawing classes, so I guess I should put it to use.

I think I'll study visual design, comic-book art, and painting/illustration. ]]> ~sparrowette http://sparrowette.deviantart.com/journal/6941765/ http://sparrowette.deviantart.com/journal/6941765/ Thu, 03 Nov 2005 05:27:40 PST
Yup. Leaving today. A few hours, actually.

Going to miss my cats. *sob*

Any unanswered comments will be answered as soon as I get back. Hectic week, packing and repacking and getting times right...*dies* And now this, making sure all the people who matter know where I am.

:doom:

Ah well.



In other news, I was made a mod of the Z-A-D-R club. *needs to send them a note* And I need to get back to work wading through the endless submissions on Sunday. (Is it bad to think that the removal of adult pieces makes my job easier?)




People I most want to say goodbye too---Korora, DotRobin, sum1publicsecret, vasillis-childe, featherhats, and my friends from the ZADR and Jak communities, both here and on LJ. Bye everyone!

1. I have been known to consume non-edible objects, i.e. paper, spare change, shale, playdough....
2. Born two months prematurely. My head was the size of a peach, and about as fuzzy.
3. J'ai un talent étrange pour les langues. Surtout français.
4. I like older men. Probably because my father is very removed emotionally from my life.
5. I like to psycho-analyze myself.
6. Ireland is my fetish.
7. My favorite comic book characters tend to have names incorporating 'Tim' 'Drake' or 'Robin' in them. (Name them all to win a prize, put them in order to win a better one...).
8. I never, EVER want to have children.
9. I despise onions.
10. I have a phobia concerning old food. Anything stale, day old, or even slightly rotten-seeming must be thrown out.
11. That sucks, because my house is the kingdom of leftovers.
12. My tonsils were removed when I was seven.
13. I have trouble remembering the first half of my existence.
14. I adore swimming. My ideal death is to drown.
15. Lampshades are for the weak.
16. I have excellent eyesight.
17. My teeth are worth 4,000 dollars.
18. Never broken a bone.
19. Cats are my fuzzy minions of doom.
20. I can slashify anything.

I have a pad of watercolor paper. Will be doodling a few things for my new story/comic/scrapbookthing project. :doom:

Working on another painting in art. What do people fear? Has the face of my personal nightmare with block-letters in the back. They spell out things like 'monsters, committment, death, unknown, abandonment,' etc. When I'm done painting, I'll go back with a pen and write about each type of fear inside the letters. The whole picture is tilted, so I'll be mounting that painting on a level board, and painting some stripes on the exposed parts. It's pretty big, so I'll see if I can get a photo of it for y'all.

No idea what I'll do after that. My method of painting is to scribble for a week, then take another week painting something that came from those scribbles. Then I go back to scribbling. *dies*

Other news:

I shaved my head yesterday--well, my dad did. I was getting restless and in need of a change, so I decide it would be a good time to see what having next to no hair would be like. Can't wait for school tomorrow. I get to be an attention whore for two days before the whole thing will really, really bother me. People freak out because I'm a girl, and of course the only reason I'd want to shave my head is either because a) I'm a neo-nazi, or b) I'm a lesbian.

Yeah. 'Cause there's no way it could have anything to do with my free will and sense of individuality. *rolls eyes*

Ah well. That's all the news I've got for now.

It never stops. I ate dinner. I had two bowls of rice and a peanut butter sandwhich. This is right after I ate an apple, four crescent rolls, and some grapes.

I'm still hungry. My tummy refuses to shut up.

The first time I noticed was over the long weekend. I weighed myself, and found out that I lost five pounds sometime between midsummer and then.

I checked again today, since I was home sick and therefore unable to distract myself from the evil hungerness.

I've lost two more pounds. In about as many days.

Now, a normal, sane, happy person might take this as a good thing, as their metabolism finally speeding up. Prior to this, I don't think I had one. I could look at a slice of bread and not be hungry anymore. If the change weren't so sudden and so violent, I wouldn't mind.

So now I"m slightly freaked out. I don't mind losing weight, I just want to know WHY. Is it getting used to school? Has my body decided to eat itself for no reason? Growth spurt? Tapeworm?

Oh God, what if it's a tapeworm??!!!

*dies* Grr. If it is, I'm going to rip that thing out and eat it, because I'm THAT hungry.

Feh. Puberty. Soon as you think it's almost over, it comes back to bite you in the ass one last time.

Why did God create this horrible phase of life? ]]> ~sparrowette http://sparrowette.deviantart.com/journal/6216434/ http://sparrowette.deviantart.com/journal/6216434/ Sat, 13 Aug 2005 12:53:41 PDT
Something to illustrate this random thought that came to me:

"What if we had skin like fine-china; how does one live when they're afraid to break?"

I don't know-have to do something with it-maybe a poem or story to go with the picture. God, must remember that it's only a week or so until I'm back in school. ]]> ~sparrowette http://sparrowette.deviantart.com/journal/6186067/ http://sparrowette.deviantart.com/journal/6186067/ Wed, 10 Aug 2005 08:12:23 PDT
DA and comic books are bad for me. People who don't even draw make me feel inferior. How effed up is it that I am jealous of photographers?

le sigh. Do not pay attention to this, I'm just in a MOOD. I can't get Adam's comic done because every time I try to start, this little voice says "What are you DOING? You can't put together an entire comic book by yourself-what do YOU know about design, color, anatomy...'

In reality, I know quite a fucking bit about all of those things, but I'm still a kid, and I still can't believe I'm doing this.

I hope I'm not the only person who always gets a sense of impending doom when they start a project. That would be bad.

Adam blames Summer Lethargy on my lack of output for his lurvely story (it has a gay cop and greek mythology-what's not to love?), but I just don't know. I don't feel like drawing ANYTHING right now. And when I DO finish something, I am equally wary of coloring it in photoshop.

Computers eat my soul. I need real paints, that I can touch and smell and ruin my clothes with. I haven't painted anything in so LONG...and they cut art classes off at the knees due to poor funding, so I don't know if I'm going to get the chance to do something.

I just want to paint small things. Little 6x6 inch things and the like. Surreal portraits, etc. Something ARTSY FARTSY BLAH instead of all the icky fanart I've become slave to.

Speaking of school, I still haven't gotten my schedule. Two weeks until I go back, and no schedule-are we just NOT ALLOWED to change our classes this year? Do they just not care anymore? Am I going to be stuck with ALL the classes I asked for, including the backups, simply because I have room for them? Christ, that'd leave me with three social-studies courses, two sciences, English, Computer, and any art class still available...oh yeah, and Calculus...

Jesus. I am doomed every which way I turn.

Doomed to a doom worse than doom.

AND, I haven't spoken to any of my local friends, aside from the birthday party...meaning...I don't know, probably nothing. I don't talk to anyone outside of school anyway, so things will probably just stay the same as always.

Next-Priorities for the year:

Paint as much as possible.
Get all A's and B's, dear God.
Put together The Blurr, again.
Draw Adam's comic (he lurves my art, so why can't I?)
Finish writing my latest novel.
Get a job.
Learn to drive.
Make Jean happy.
Sleep more, eat less.
Stop being so insecure for no reason.
Don't die.

First and Last ones will probably be the only things I manage, without sacrificing my last shreds of sanity. And maybe making Jean happy...that will be easier when I get my old computer back. I already gave her my soul, and said she could have rights to my brain, so...I'm working on it.

I need to go finish that summer-homework now...yay for Arthur Miller. ]]> ~sparrowette http://sparrowette.deviantart.com/journal/6171533/ http://sparrowette.deviantart.com/journal/6171533/ Mon, 08 Aug 2005 18:16:44 PDT
First week of November, Gram, cousin Steven and I are flying out to Brooklyn, New York. Going to visit a distant relative who sponsors unknown artists in the black community. I am, of course, a bundle of nerves and excitement.

Excitement-It's friggin' NEW YORK! I get to ride on a plane! And take buses and subways and see weird people and giant buildings, and get out of the suburbs! Huzzah! I'll be sure to take loads of pictures to upload for y'all.

Nerves-Holy shit, it's New York, where there are psychos and murderers and evil homeless people, and planes can crash, and the subways are a cesspool of eeeviiil...Doomed, the three of us are just...doomed. Two months until I go anywhere, and I'm already convinced that I will die horribly.

Used to it though. Anxiety and Paranoia run through my family.

----Ah! Another thing to thank Gram for-she finally mapped out my basic ancestry for me.

Father's Side: (Orange) Irish, Scottish, mostly English and English Canadian.

Mother's Side: German, Swedish, Hungarian, Irish (unknown).

Dear god, updating this thing is even more complicated, now that I've been given a week-long trial account...I have no idea how I was selected, or what exactly I'm supposed to do with it, but hey...I guess it'll be fun for awhile.

I wonder if they expect me to want to subscribe for real afterwards. Yes, I'm sure it's all a marketing ploy. Too bad for them my family and I are dirt poor, so they'll be getting nothin' out of me, even if I wanted to contribute.

*shrugs* Whatever...I only use this place to put out my artwork, and watch a few random people. I don't browse, because frankly, I don't have the time or need to.

Still, not going to look a gift horse in the mouth, or however that saying goes...

I've cut off the curls
I shaved half my face
became half the man you asked to replace.
I'm willing to save you
you said you're worth saving
but half of my appetite's lost half its craving.
Stand in the mirror
that's me beside you
the one with the smile, the one who abides you
don't mind the madman
the killer, the lover
he's slowly fading one into the other.

Where is that white picket fence
that I painted myself in the late days of April?
Where are the daffodil mountains?
I know they're somewhere around here by the garden.

You say that you're happy
well you should know better
I see that you've sewn up that rip in your sweater
that some lover tore off you
that left you both shaking
that bled deep inside you the wound you'd forsaken.

Where is that white picket fence
that I painted myself in the late days of April?
Where are the daffodil mountains?
I know they're somewhere around here by the garden.

Don't fear I will save you
don't shout you'll awaken
the corpses in the desert staked out beside you
I cut off his wing
and shaved half his face
but I thought that I saw his eyes...move. ]]> ~sparrowette http://sparrowette.deviantart.com/journal/5621562/ http://sparrowette.deviantart.com/journal/5621562/ Sat, 11 Jun 2005 19:48:19 PDT
Ah well. Last two days...just been drawing like crazy, ideas won't stop coming. Some of them actually pertain to the comic i'm working on, but the other ones are there too, nagging at the back of my mind...Hence the last two submissions-Diamonds of the Sea and Halve My Pain. Proud of them, just a little disbelieving that i'm still able to do these things...keep thinking someday all the ideas will go away, but they never do...huzzah for adolescence screwing with our brains.

Note to Self: Work on backgrounds, perspective, and inaminate objects/architexture. Oh, and draw more mermaids and crazy winged-people, much catharsis is needed. ]]> ~sparrowette http://sparrowette.deviantart.com/journal/5491401/ http://sparrowette.deviantart.com/journal/5491401/ Sun, 29 May 2005 08:56:07 PDT
And i lost my copy of Photoshop 7. *thumps head on desk*

AND, i tried to bleach my hair, but it only bleached out the natural hair color and two layers of dye-leaving my hair orange with yellow roots. But dammit, i'm still going to go ahead with the pink dye. Only another week or so of school to suffer through anyway, why bother with appearances?

Speaking of school...I just woke up from a weird-ass dream in which we finally got back the results from our state-testing, thus ensuring that I didn't have to take the final exams. When i realized it was just a dream...god, why can't they just give us the tests already? I CAN'T take the geometry final...because there is no way i will pass the class if i do. I mean...i COULD just start paying attention for once, but when Mrs. Arens opens her mouth, my brain coasts into vegetable-mode.

feh, oh well. Just have to do better next year... ]]> ~sparrowette http://sparrowette.deviantart.com/journal/5418552/ http://sparrowette.deviantart.com/journal/5418552/ Sat, 21 May 2005 06:56:46 PDT
i went crazy the first day and added millions of things. what can i say, i have a weakness for mermaids, cats, and scrawny emo boys.

and Deemer. i've discovered his works, and love them. if anyone else wants to bother noticing, he is Adam Incarnate. Seriously...if Adam were real...that's what he'd look like.

why can't any of my characters be original? always, there is someone out there who, whether i've ever seen them or not, is subconciously worked into the design. It's either a horrible coincidence, or some latent psychic ability...

oh well. perhaps i can make up for it by using crazy stylized method to obscure Adam's actual features...like i did in Geometry Class(that pic was originally just the head and dress parts, scribbled on the back of a practice test. i then proceded to cut all of my doodles out of the test, thus ensuring my horrible grade. *shrugs*).

why am i updating this journal now? god, i should go write. Adam will be worth nothing if i don't finish his goddamn story. *grumbles* ]]> ~sparrowette http://sparrowette.deviantart.com/journal/4777323/ http://sparrowette.deviantart.com/journal/4777323/ Thu, 10 Mar 2005 12:45:56 PST
managed to shave twenty-one seconds off of last year's time.

how?

by becoming less active. amazing.

i guess the wrist movements used to draw and write are the only exercise i'll ever need. *does happy ostrich dance* ]]> ~sparrowette http://sparrowette.deviantart.com/journal/4579697/ http://sparrowette.deviantart.com/journal/4579697/ Mon, 14 Feb 2005 12:49:56 PST
