i think it bothers me that on a site full of 'artists' no one has noticed that one of today's DDs is, in a sense, a photomanip, and not just an incredibly well shot photo. seriously, can no one see that the two girls on either side of the one facing the camera are the exact same, only flipped? and probably the same one as in the middle, although of course it's a different shot entirely. does that still count as a proper photograph, because all of the elements are of the same subject? does a photomanip technically have to be of different elements completely?

and... of course i'd report it, but its too much trouble, and there are much worse offenses on this site, and i doubt anyone will really agree with me either way.

there's also another photo i don't think deserved the DD, because yeah, the lens flare is more annoying than beneficial. it's not an interesting subject, there's nothing special going on in the background. its a photo with a lens flare.

good grief, for the longest time, people got crapped on for using it in photoshop too much. now, though, it's alright. because... y'know. its real i guess.

well, that's it from me. sorry, still no new art

i should've known it wouldn't work for me. there's that fancy new feature that lets you sort your deviations into different folders blah de blah whatever, and i put it off and put it off, and tonight i finally decided why the hell not i've got enough shit to sort. well, i added all the photos to my photo folder that i made, and then i was all 'wtf wrong order' so i found the thing that lets you change the order to the whole newest to oldest dealie, and WOW! all the pics disappeared from the folder! what a fantastic option!

so to hell with that.

nobody looks at my shit anyway, except for that stupid yin yang.

1.3 megapixels, hahaha. yuck.

i'm posting the pics here anyway, because i'm stubborn and i like to think i'm good at this shit.

maybe if i write a nice note to DA, they'll put in a new category just for me: SOME CRAP

(and maybe even SOME MORE CRAP cuz i have so much of it)

so... fuck it. this is retarded. so much for trying to make things run smoother. progress sucks.

this entry exists mostly to get the last one off my page. it was a bit harsh, but in my opinion only because i said i hated DA for a certain reason. and i don't hate DA. i just hate ignorant people, and sadly they are everywhere, including this site. so nyah nyah on the ignorant people, and... yeah.

i find it amusing that my most faved piece of artwork is the crappy (imo) yin yang i did. still, i get the notice in the mail that someone else has added it to their faves, and its a constant reminder that i have a coloured version in the works, which will be a million times better (if i ever complete the damn thing), and i should get my arse moving and actually work on it. hopefully? this week.

unless, of course, i keep re-reading the last few chapters of HP&tDH and looking for pics of snape, dearest snape..

no one is taught to love the human form in its infinite variety. people see a lot of hair and they freak out. wrinkles? fuck no. fat? oh heaven forbid there be FAT anywhere! all anyone wants to see anymore are stick thin, hairless women with their bones in sharp relief.

november is turning out to be quite green, and i hate it... i hate being jealous over stupid little things that shouldn't matter, and it makes me feel like ripping out my eyes (yes, i said something similar in my lj, who cares).

i should seek help. hahaha..


i feel like a dork using all these colours in this post, and its a site for art, haw haw, no pun intended? something..


its good to know that i haven't lost my ability to copy things so well. i'd be handy if your xerox machine breaks down!

hell no!

so i'm debating on whether or not to try and just make another background of some sort for the piece i want to submit, or just fuckin submit it with a fuckin black boring stupid background of nothing. FLOATING IN SPACE. that's what i could call it. i could use those photoshop brushes shaped like stars and put multicoloured stars all over the black and then it won't be entirely black, it'll be gay space.

fuck stock. fuck it. fuck.

also? fuck employment and NOT being a starving artist, and also fuck eczema.

anyway, i made a shitload of those wee animated flashy blinky names for friends and for me, and i'm wondering if i ought to upload them here, or is it just a silly idea i have because i've got nothing worthwhile to submit. i mean, considering the calibre of work i see here, and the stuff i've already put up, i don't really want to resort to something like that. maybe just my faves. i dunno. i'm bored! hahahaha and i QUIT!

i hate how a photo of a CAT, a moodily lit CAT, will garner so much attention. i'm not saying my art is the best and people should notice it and be in awe or whatever. and i do make my own art not for the comments and recognition (although gosh, it's so nice to get it ), but for myself, and i like to post it for people to look at since this IS a gallery and i do consider some (some, but certainly not all) of my stuff to be 'art' and even 'pretty damn good'...

i don't know... maybe it's just me. maybe i just don't get abstract art enough, or y'know, i don't get the artistic merits of moodily lit cats.

i mean, real artists do get recognized. I do see actual paintings featured once in a while. so its not that.

i guess it really is who you know, though. or who knows you. and i do keep to myself, which makes this rant entirely stupid. but i'm one of those people who see 'real' art, and 'real' skill, as something more than a photo of a cat, for crying out loud. and i certainly wouldn't buy a PRINT of one.

jesus. call me when you've spent hours, days, months working on a piece. when you've put some actual work and thought into a piece. when it actually represents something.

i'm also a jerk because i don't get the point behind abstract art. i go to the gallery in town and there's this stupid (yes i said it, woo!) modern art crap. someone installs a flickery fluorescent light near the ceiling with the cables dangling all the way to the floor and calls it ART? i can't stand it. and this shit sells for millions sometimes...

i don't get it. i guess, to me, that real artwork should have some effort behind it, you know? bah. bah, i say. it just drives me nuts. i just have to say THANK GOODNESS for the people who actually create and show it off, because that's what really inspires me to do more. it relieves me, too; 'real' art isn't dead yet.

and i'm not too stupid to realize that one person's idea of art differs from another. i know that somewhere out there, someone will actually buy a print of a moodily lit cat and enjoy it. i just can't, for the life of me, figure out WHY.


and don't worry, i've got nothing against cats, either.

gonna end this with a quote from a song on my playlist that just came on, and it's pretty apt: "it's a monumental big-screen kiss; it's so deep its meaningless..."

i'm so hard done by... ]]> ~thebacongirl http://thebacongirl.deviantart.com/journal/4618467/ http://thebacongirl.deviantart.com/journal/4618467/ Fri, 18 Feb 2005 22:39:46 PST
thanks guys, i've had 500 pageviews this is pretty cool. i wish i had a cake with candles or something.

now this! just... practicing, i guess. like everyone tells me to do. it'd be better if it was actual pencil and paper, or paints, but its something.

needless to say this means i can't even accurately judge any photos i might've taken since then, and thusly, no art from me. can't work on the projects i still have pending, and i'm not even gonna bother with photos.

there IS poetry, i suppose, but my writing is just as sporadic and dependant on my mood, which has been reasonably good lately.

i'm not going to complain too much, though, since i've had this extra time to burn all my files so i can get this computer overhauled finally. the damn thing is so loaded with junk and so much spyware and maybe a virus or two that it's probably gained 20 pounds since i bought it.


in other news, hi, how's it goin'? ]]> ~thebacongirl http://thebacongirl.deviantart.com/journal/3148056/ http://thebacongirl.deviantart.com/journal/3148056/ Tue, 17 Aug 2004 14:20:55 PDT now its done. ]]> ~thebacongirl http://thebacongirl.deviantart.com/journal/3120919/ http://thebacongirl.deviantart.com/journal/3120919/ Sat, 14 Aug 2004 00:47:46 PDT
i wanted to go all the way and give it an environment, but i started the stupid thing about three years ago and left it for at least one of those years because i couldn't get part of it right. since i started working on it again, i've realized that it would take me much too long (cuz i'm much too impatient!) to do it, and it would probably suck big juan.

and it'd be hard enough with a tablet. but i started the stupid thing with the mouse and i was determined to finish it like that, so... yeh. the thing is, i'm a southpaw. but i can't use the mouse with my left hand... and i can't really draw with my right. see the whole problem here?


maybe a simple background. but i dunno. and i want to post it so badly... and call it finished finally and get on to something else! argh!

it doesn't help that i keep starting projects before i'm even halfway finished the others...

actually, that's a lie, there's other stuff sitting around, but its not good enough for this place, in my opinion.

so yeah, pressure. pressure to get my other projects finished. there are about five or six and i can't just stick to one and finish it, i've got to work on them all at once.

just not right now. right now is bedtime and hopefully dreamtime. g'night kids.

if its a pencil drawing, its most likely done with a mechanical pencil.

if its... something else, then yeah... i'll probably mention what it is, unless its painfully obvious.

i'm not all that skilled with anything, except a) pencil, or b) my tablet. ohhh, i love my tablet... ]]> ~thebacongirl http://thebacongirl.deviantart.com/journal/2946049/ http://thebacongirl.deviantart.com/journal/2946049/ Thu, 22 Jul 2004 23:28:22 PDT
just want to mention that most of my stuff that i've been cramming into my gallery is from around '97, '98... i do have more recent stuff, but i'm trying to go in order as best as i can.

so for awhile, imagine this is some sort of blast from the past.


anyway, thanks to you who've been posting comments and adding my stuff to their list of faves. much appreciated. there are so many amazing artists posting their stuff here and all over this world wide webbage that i feel like i did when i was walking through the illustration wing of my college: intimidated.

y'all rock. ]]> ~thebacongirl
