Some more? I give you some more and watch you crawl; guts hit the floor, worms exit your pores.
I trick ya, ha, then I'm quick to syringe deep into my thoughts and bust out your skin.
You scream; portraits of inflictable pain. You can't stand.
You're up to your hands in quick sand. You're sinking and sinking deep into the earth.
My thoughts was possessed since the first day of birth.
My mental says its my turn to possess the matter; stab you with a dagger of jacob's ladder.
Thoughts become shattered, confused, and tragic; fiery thoughts of gravediggaz....

I wanted to shout down to her "Chillax scary BuzzCut McDykepants, its just an old dog. You should be sweet to her! She can barely even walk and its b/c she's so grossly over weight that she can't move as quickly as you do, & its your damn fault for feeding her fuck-all and whatever."

But the number one rule of watching people is to NEVER INTERFERE. Especially when doing so would give away your location to whomever you were watching.
So I said nothing.

I like to watch my neighbors as they walk their pets.

There's an old man that lives across the street with two dogs and two cats. All four animals are very fluffy, and a few times a day, can be seen walking up to the corner of Windsor and Kemper, and then back down the sidewalk and back into their house.
None of the animals have leashes; they know where to walk-- and don't stray from the man. Even the cats stay close by and walk with the man and the dogs!
Hilary aptly named this occurrence "The Fluffy Parade."

There's a woman who lives nearby who has the most beautiful Husky I have ever seen. Sometimes I see her tiny grade-school-aged son walking the dog; although in his case the roles are reversed and he is taken for a walk by the dog.

There's a young lady who lives a few doors down & across the street who often takes walks her little Chihuhua, and talks (v loudly) on her cellphone the whoooolle time she is doing so.
One day she tripped and fell down in front of our apartment, and I happened to be sitting next to the computer with Hilary and Erin. We called down and asked if she was ok and if she needed ice-- she said that she did so I rushed to put on shoes and ran outside with an ice pack-- but by the time I got there, she had walked back to her house. o_O
She looks a lot like my little sister's friend, Lauren.

Sometimes I get to take walks with Erin and her Dachshund, Hans. Someday, I think I'd like to have a dog that I could take on walks. I've always wanted a big fluffy Husky like the woman and her son have. I would name it 10.

I wonder what my neighbors would think of when they saw me walking 10.

...

There are a lot of interesting crack heads that walk by and do funny things, too, but that is a whole 'nother journal entry.


In other news, today I am going to:
Get dressed
Go to The Evil O (Wild Oats)
Purchase Coffee
Reflect on the fact that coffee is the only thing at that store that isn't grossly over priced.
Return home
Draw like fuckmaddcrazy/work on my story
Play Naruto Clash of Ninja 2
Alternate between the last two things until Hilary returns home from work in the late after noon.

Yes. That is my plan.
What will you/did you do today?

pretty much sums up my entire personality in just two minutes and thirty nine seconds.


It is colorful, bright, fast paced & confusing, entirely nonsensical, and to a lot of people, absolutely terrifying.
It even has a bit of Texas in it, just like me.

Do you have a music video that you believe sums up your personality? If so, what is it?

Because srsssssly it is not like that at allllll.

It was more just that this morning turned out to be an adventure in self loathing and in that mood, I posted that entry to be all "Waaah I am not feeling the loveee huuuuuuuu Don't you liek me anymorez????? ; ; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;"


Ahh, but it makes sense, though, those things that everybody said. I know that most artists will snap your head right off if you reply with "I want one but Im broke" but I was just saying like-- I didn't even get THAT much so I was like "... fuck! I must really really suck. o_O"

But its all good. Thanks for what ya'll said. Really. x x Sorry I have such a tendency to act like a total lame ass. I don't know how Hilary puts up with it...

Anyway I just wanted to type this out before the commercial break was over. NOW IT IS BACK TO NARUTO HANDO! ZOMMMMGNHGH THANK YOU CN FOR 100 EPISODES OF HEINOUSLY CENSORED AND PAINFULLY MIS-DUBBED HILARITY.

I have to admit, this is a pretty big blow to my ego, as well as to my confidence in myself as an artist.

Now I'm not only broke, but also kind of... insulted.
I've gotta fix this.

Name what you want me to draw, and name your price.
After I have drawn your picture-- we can discuss payment.

Paypal is best, but a cash/check/money order/whatever is fine, too.

Originals: Yes, I would be willing to sell some of my originals-- I don't know which ones to offer, so if you want a certain one just tell me and we'll discuss a price.
But, there are some pieces I am not willing to part with, so if I say no pls understand
And if you buy an original, please also understand that it might be a while before you get it because, as I said, I suck at sending snail mail. ):


If you're interested, reply here, or note me and tell me what you want.
If you'd prefer to use aim, my sn is donotwantt with two ts.

Seriously guys, I just paid my rent and some bills and I forgot to factor in food money so... yeah. Anything helps u u;;;;;

Now, whenever she smelled the gums, the balsams, and the special aromatics that arrived with merchants from afar, her head reeled with images of temples, shrines, palaces, fortresses, mysterious walls, tapestries, paintings, jewels, liquors, icons, drugs, dyes, meats, sweets, silks, bolts and bolts of cotton cloth, ores, shiny metals, foodstuffs, spices, musical instruments, ivory daggers and ivory dolls, masks, bells, carvings, statues (ten times as tall as she!), lumber, leopards on leashes, peacocks, monkeys white elephants with tattooed ears, horses, camels, princes, maharajah, conquerors, travelers, singers, fakirs, magicians, acrobats, prophets, scholars, monks, madmen, sages, saints, mystics, dreamers, prostitutes, dancers, fanatics, avatars, poets, thieves, warriors, snake charmers, pageants, parades, rituals, executions, weddings, seductions, concerts, new religions, strange philosophies, fevers, diseases, splendors and magnificences and things too fearsome to be recounted, all writhing cascading, jumbling, mixing, splashing, and spinning; vast, complex, inexhaustible, forever.

It was then that she realized that the it was the odor of the incense that had intrigued her all along, only now the smells filled in the fantasies that heretofore had been mere outlines, smeary contours scrawled in ghost chalk. Perhaps the most terrible (or wonderful) thing that can happen to an imaginative youth, aside from the curse (or blessing) of imagination itself, is to be exposed without preparartion to the life outside his or her own sphre--the sudden revelation that there is a there out there.

I simply feel that I can't keep up-- everyone else makes such amazing digital masterpieces and is so quick and with it with loads and loads of talent and its just.. so.. amazing.. intimidating.
I love my art; creating it is something I do almost involuntarily.
But I feel so.. small.. compared to the thousands of other amazing artists on the interwebs.
I feel like "Why look at MY art when you could look at this person's art which is ten thousand billion million times more incredible??"
But I digress.

I also feel that.. well. Ok. I *don't* feel anything. And that is the problem.
Remember the day that you realized that you weren't as into playing with your barbies and/or toys as you once were?
I remember that day very clearly. I remember distinctly how suddenly, adamantly, and completely my desire to "play" disappeared. It was confusing for a little while.. but I eventually found other things to occupy my free time with.

The same thing happened with uploading art to internets; its just not something that I have any passion for anymore.

Also, I wrote that entry this morning when I was in a bit of a weird place, emotionally.
There's been some "stuff" going on in my life, but again, I digress.
I feel a lot better, now, and sort of embarrassed for making such a dramatic announcement n n; *der*

So, okay. You.. convinced me, I guess?
I'll "stay", although.. I don't really have anything to upload, and I'm not sure if or when I will again

But, thanks to everyone who responded to my last entry.
Sorry for uh... doing that thing .. that people sometimes do.. with the "i am leaving the internets goodbye forevers!! 8 8" shenanigans.

But my statement still stands that you're all amazing and wonderful and I hope you nothing but hearts, stars, and horse shoes, clovers and blue moons.

Gemini (May 21 - Jun 20)

You may be inclined to talk to everyone about everything this afternoon, but problems can arise if you don't know when to stop your endless chatter. Keep in mind that others probably don't want to know all your gory details. Your tendency is toward exaggeration, so just convey the main idea as accurately as you can for now.

To me, a digitally remastered episode of any old animation is almost completely unwatchable. Its too crisp, too sober, it looks like Dragon Ball Z.
I like the softness of hand drawn and painted cells and backgrounds.. the rotoscoped sparklies.. its so much better.

I want to have my movies on DVD, so that I can keep them pristine for posterity & because VHS is a quickly vanishing technology, but I also want the oldskool animation; not some digital rehash.


Does anyone else feel this way?
Or am I just stuck in the past, and need to get with the times?

Oh, did I fail to mention? I fucking love Maine Coons. They're my faaaaaaaavorite breed of cat. They're so huge and fluff and mischief and "bowwow" instead of "meeoww" they're so GREAT, I wish I had one.

If you're curious, just altavista/google image search for maine coon <3

I wonder if I'll ever get to meet Emily @ @ I've never hung out with a real one, before.. I think my cat, Mudbone, must've been born from a mainecoon/domestic shorthair.. because he looks just like one, and is huge like one, and bowwrarows like one, but he's not fluffy like one? I dunno. Someday, I will own one.. omg what if I got it as a KITTENN sdfjhsdfjhsdao2310-2312121..

...

Hahaha, oh wow. And then I realized that I was spending my Saturday night updating my deviantjournal with how much I love cats.

We're going to clean out the attick that is our noggin, and open up the windows so that this dense fog of stale smoke (cigarette and otherwise) can finally clear out and stop stinkin' up the place.
We're going to sort through all of the stacks and piles of dirty (mental) laundry and files and paperwork and set everything in nice stacks, into drawers, onto shelves, etc etc. Tidy up the place, and get rid of all the rubbish that has accumulated.

We're not going to eat junk food, and we're going to cut out most sugar, and -all- dairy and wheat. No more Taco Bell or Burger King fries on lunchbreaks.
Those things all upset my tummy, and there are many, many other things to eat that don't fall into those catergories that are equally, if not moreso delcious.
We're going to, no seriously this time, get out my cookbooks, and start learning how to cook.

We'll find someone to help me bring my new bed home, and I'll *finally* have a room of my own. I don't mind sharing a room with Hilary, but we both need our space, and since I'm plural this goes double for me.
I think having my own "space" will help me immensely, by leaps and bounds.
(I hope the same is true for Hilary, though I think she can flourish in just about any kind of situation..)


As far as artwork is concerned... hmm. Yes. About that.
Maybe after I get my life in order, my 'artistic drive' will come back to me.
But in the meantime, I've got no yen for it. I don't want to draw or paint or color.
Its like one day my desire to create art just.. got up and left one day. Told me it was going out to get a pack of cigg's, and never came back.
I've got no inspiration. No reason. No muse. I'm burned out, I guess.
I need someone/something to change my bulb.

Which brings me to the last area of interest; romance. (har, har.)
Again, I find myself feeling burned out.
I still want it, to be sure, but as far as my eye can see, there's nothing of promise on the horizon until I reach Philadelphia. And, even after I get there, who knows what will happen, or who I might meet, if anyone at all?
In the meantime, though, I need to put what little brainpower I've got into more pertinant things.
Its only propper ettiquite, after all, to do some mental/physical house-cleaning before I invite anyone over for tea.


Lately, I've found myself meditating only on what I don't have.
For the next two weeks, it is my goal to stop thinking about what I want, and learning how to want, and be satisfied, with what I've got.
"All I need, I already have it." will be my mantra, so to speak.


I just looked outside and its snowing a monsoon, though strangely enough, the sun is also shining. :9
I'm going to take this as a good omen. <3

10. Rarely do I start off to drawing something with an idea of it in my head. I just start sketching, and get ideas as to what it'll be as I go. Maybe this is why I kind of suck as an artist.

09. Much in the same way a person will look at porn before they fap, I will look at other people's art before I draw. A few folks that really get me goin' are Corey 'Rey' Lewis, and Kharry from kharupt.com, and most recently, David Mack.

08. I can't afford paintbrushes, so most of my paintings are, in fact, fingerpainted.

07. I've found that I draw better when I am also spending a lot of time playing video games... I think it has something to do with hand-eye coordination.

06. When I first started drawing, I just traced pictures from some Korean Sailor Moon coloring books that I bought on E-Bay my freshman year of highschool and added candy-raving clothes to them.
Examples:
[link]
[link]

05. And now, BEHOLD! Drawings from 1999/2000, when I first started drawing and having internets lol:
[link]
[link]
[link] My first CG, lollllllllll

04. I draw on anything for inspiration, a fond memory, a piece of paper, walls on a train station..

03. I drew "furry" art when I was in 5th grade; my friend Jamie Davis and I were always drawing sexy cat ladies, like the two from that one episode of Eek! The Cat. Jamie and I fell out in 6th grade, though, when I started going to a private school.

02. I like it fast, and loose. I mean, I have a lot of trouble focusing on something for any amount of time, so when it comes to inking/sketching/coloring things, I like to use fast medias; paints, markers, sharpies.
Lately, though, no media is fast enough to hold my attention, so I haven't been drawing/making art at all. :/

01. One person who has influanced me as an artist more than anyone or anything else (including music, holy cow!) is Hilary The See Penna. Don't tell her this, because she thinks we're friends or something, but I really moved to Ohio just so I could study under her just as Beatrix Kiddo went to the mountains of China to study with that geezer.
And one day, I'll poison Hilary's fish heads and then eat her brain to fully gain all of her powers and wisdom.


And fuck you I ain't taggin Shit because tags are for faggots anyway yeah I said it. Nword.

Carve out a pumpkin and rely on your destiny,
Get in your car and cruise the land of the brave and the free.

Don't forget to understand exactly what you put on the tree,
Don't believe the florist when he tells you that the roses are free.

Take a wrinkled raisin, and do with it what you will,
Push it into third if you know you're gonna climb a hill.

Eat plenty of lasagna 'til you know that you've had your fill,
Resist all the urges that make you wanna go out and kill.

But don't forget to understand exactly what you put on the tree,
Don't believe the florist when he tells you that the roses are free.

Throw that pumpkin at the tree,
Unless you think that pumpkin holds your destiny.

Cast it off into the sea, bake that pie and eat it with me..

Also, I'm sure most of you already know, but there is a Dj by the name of Saskrotch who produced an album called "Nintendo Breakz"-- which is about 30 oldskool Nintendo game themesongs put over IDM-ish beats. S'nice, ya'll might want to check it out.
He also has a few individual songs, and an hour long set called "Broken Needles", all of which I also reccomend.


And.
Mixed into my playlist(s) are several "bump" songs from Adult Swim that I downloaded from www.bumpworthy.com.
Some of the songs (the ones that I could find u u; ) are on the playlist in their full length, such as Junebug, At Last, and Haven.. to name a few.

I'm really into 8bit nintendo-y sounding things, flutes and chellos over heavy bass and/or downtempo breakbeats this season.
If you've got anything along these lines, and would like to suggest them to me in a comment here, I'd be much obliged.
I love new musics, and am always looking for more. :3

Inked: $10
Colored: $25
Colored w/background and frame: $30

These prices are for single characters only. For each aditional character, I will charge another $5.
If you're reading this journal, and are interested in purchasing a commission from me, then I would assume(hope.) that you've seen my art; and you know what it is like, and will expect something along those lines, i.e. I am not much for standing still/static poses, giant robots, etc.


Also, for an aditional $5 shipping fee, I'll send you the original.
(If you buy a background/frame, I'll waive the shipping fee, though.)

I'll ship to anywhere; but if its more than $5 to send it to you-- like, if you live in Australia or something, obviously I will need to charge however much it is to send it to you.


These are all just loose guidelines; nothing is set in stone.
I'll work with you on the price, depending on what you want and what you can afford.

If you're interested, you can comment here, send me a note, or an email (muuncandy at hotmail.com)


Thanks! :3

If I already owe you one from way back in the day, please send me your addresses again: muuncandy@hotmail.com
I have finished them all, they're in envelopes ready to go, I just need address confirmation. ]]> ~starc http://starc.deviantart.com/journal/8596292/ http://starc.deviantart.com/journal/8596292/ Thu, 27 Apr 2006 18:29:30 PDT On the fourth day, she decided to think, in an organized manner, about the problem of romance.
"When we're incomplete, we're always seaching for somebody to complete us. When after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on--series polygamy-- until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failiure every relationship we enter. Hey, that's pretty good. If I had a pencil and paper, I'd write that down."
Alas, she had no pencil.
Next, she thought "When two people meet and fall in love, there's a sudden rush of magic. Magic is just naturally present then. We tend to feed on that gratuitous magic without striving to make anymore. One day we wake up and find that the magic is gone. We hustle to get it back, but by then its usually too late, we've used it up. What we have to do is work like hell at making additional magic right from the start. Its hard work, especially when it seems superfluous or redundant, but if we can remember to do it, we greatly improve our chances of making love stay." She was unsure if that idea was profound or trite. She was only sure that it mattered.
Then she thought, "The mystics say that as soon as you give it up, you can have it. That may be true, but who wants it when you don't want it?" ]]> ~starc http://starc.deviantart.com/journal/8571896/ http://starc.deviantart.com/journal/8571896/ Mon, 24 Apr 2006 16:25:59 PDT The moon was full. The moon was so bloated it was about to tip over. Imagine awakening to find the moon flat on its face on the bathroom floor, like the late Elvis Presley, poisoned by bananna splits.
It was a moon that could stir wild passions in a moo cow. A moon that could bring out the devil in a bunny rabit. A moon that could turn lugnuts into moonstones, turn Little Red Riding Hood into the big bad wolf.
For more than an hour, Leigh-Cheri stared into the mandala of the sky.
"Does the moon have a purpose?" she inquired of Prince Charming.
(Prince Charming was a toad. He lived in a terrarium at the foot of Leigh-Cheri's bed.)
Prince Charming pretended that she had asked a silly question.
Perhaps she had.

Albert Camus wrote that the only serious question is whether to kill yourself or not.
Tom Robbins wrote that the only serious question is whether time has a beginning and an end.
Camus clearly got up on the wrong side of the bed, and Robbins must have forogtten to set the alarm.
There is only one serious question. And that is:
Who knows how to make love stay?

Answer me that and I will tell you whether or not to kill yourself.
Answer me that and I will ease your mind about the beginning and the end of time.
Answer me that and I will reveal to you the purpose of the moon. ]]> ~starc http://starc.deviantart.com/journal/8532901/ http://starc.deviantart.com/journal/8532901/ Thu, 20 Apr 2006 15:18:23 PDT ~starc http://starc.deviantart.com/journal/8277998/ http://starc.deviantart.com/journal/8277998/ Sun, 26 Mar 2006 19:00:13 PST ~starc http://starc.deviantart.com/journal/8210340/ http://starc.deviantart.com/journal/8210340/ Sun, 19 Mar 2006 18:53:22 PST Goatse? *yawwwnnns* Seen it.

Yes, yes, the world is a safe, fair place.

Everything makes sense, and no one ever lies to anyone.
No one's feelings are ever hurt (on purpose), no one ever uses anyone else... or takes advantage of them.

No one ever gets hurt, and all forms of life are treated equally and with respect.

The world is a fine, fine place.
A very fine place indeed.

The Skagit River, which bangs down from the high Cascades, which spills through the wild hills, which is cold and green and silty and (at this time of year) teeming with salmon spawn, which flows sullenly through the croplands as if pouting about the loss of speed, flowing daily, flowing as it did last year, flowing as it did when the three painted duck-hunting chiefs of the tribal Skagit rode upon it in their long canoes, flowing, flowing, fearlessly into the future, flowing forever from beginning to end; the Skagit River did not give one watery damn that it was drowning the life of Marx Marvelous, promising (if confused) young scientist who had excelled at Johns Hopkins University and once owned a natty checkered suit.

At first, Marx Marvelous did not like drowining. The water in his lungs was heavy and unnatural. He thought of a cake his father once had baked for his mother's birthday. He felt as if that cake were in his lungs. But drowning is like anything else. You get used to it.

It was a relief to quit struggling. When he struggled his lungs felt overheated and rusted out, like the muffler on an old Ford truck in which he had delivered the Baltimore Sun after he grew too big for his bicycle. That passed.
When he ceased to struggle his lungs ceased to backfire. It was peacful. Would they publish his dead picture in the Baltimore Sun?

Drowning takes a long time. It is not something one does in a fast minute. Don't think it is. There is time to think. There is time to eat a sandwich while drowning. Marx Marvelous would have enjoyed a grilled ham and cheese.
Hold the pickels.
A light followed Marx Marvelous down to the river bottom. He did not know from whence it came. Perhaps the fishes are familiar with this light. Marx Marvelous stared into the light. It is possible to drown with one's eyes open, you know.

The face of Albert Einstein appeared in the light. Einstein was demonstrating that since motion depends on the observer no one point can be considered the zero of motion. Einstein's face, baggy beneath the eyes, was very kind. Nevertheless, it made Marx Marvelous nervous.
He soon replaced it with the face of Someone We All Know and Love. Marx Marvelous and the face hung in the water as if the river were a museum and they were famous pictures placed opposite one another for contrast.

The light dimmed.

"Our gallery is closing for the day," thought Marvelous.

I have been trying to find them on limewire for a while now, but to no avail, so I'm putting it up to you, dear friends, to help me find these songs:

(artist - song)
Jeru The Damaja - Murda 1
and
1st Infantry f/ Havoc, Twin Gambino - The Midnight Creep

and finally, if anybody just happens to have the cd entitled "Obey" by Dj Dq, and could somehow get me a copy, or mp3s of it, I would also like that very much, as well.

And if any of you can get me any of said songs, I will be willing to return the favor in some way that we can settle on when/if ya'll can find these for me. :9

Just note me or reply here, or if you have aim: who is starc

I've visited every single gallery of every person that's added me (and beyond), and its all the same thing. I can't deny that I'm horribly dissapointed that the only people that are interested in my 'art' are people that haven't the faintest clue of what art really is.

I don't think that there's a single original idea on the internet anymore. Especially on deviant art.
Everything "new" that I see is simply some trickled-down rehash of something that someone else did a few years ago.

What ever happened to making art to express one's self, rather than for the sole purpose of gaining popularity?
What happened to pulling ideas from your OWN brain, instead of drawing the same thing that everyone ELSE is drawing?

Find your own place, express your own ideas, be your OWN person, and stop trying to be everyone else. You're actually PERFECT on your own. You don't need anybody else's personality traits to make yourself "better."
You don't need to be like anybody else.
All of your ideas, and tastes, and thoughts and opinions are perfect and beautiful, no matter what Seventeen magazine and MTV try to tell you.
And your art doesn't have to be "pretty", and it doesn't have to get DTF and comments in order to be VALID.
And -people- don't have to be pretty and perfect in order to be valid EITHER.

Stop looking to other people to learn how to 'be cool' or whatever, and start looking to yourself, and thinking about what YOU think, and what YOU want to create. ]]> ~starc http://starc.deviantart.com/journal/2486602/ http://starc.deviantart.com/journal/2486602/ Sat, 22 May 2004 20:54:03 PDT
