an interesting realization.

i was thinking about the people i found attractive. i thought of something they all have in common.

(yeah, i watched brokeback mountain a few days ago)

so, have you noticed anything that these three beautiful people have in common?

no?

here's a hint.
the only one of my favourite people i can think of right now who does not fit here is the wonderful lee pace. here he is:
pretty goodlooking, yes?

but what if he looked like this?
OMGLOVE.


in conclusion: facial moles are teh sexy.

life drawings. warning: naked.

these are from drawing class second semester, which was mostly drawing from nude models. if you don't like the naked, look away now.

as always, click for full view, which is way better.

we were supposed to convey an emotion, sad and moody.

a blind contour with proportions gone wrong. his stance just begged for the caption, no?

and this was, obviously, not drawn from life. 'tis my little sister, and perhaps one of my favourite drawings i've done, ever.

look, some art.

i have not yet posted anything from semester number two at mount allison. so, here are some paintings. i only have a couple, because i am no painter and i threw most of them out.

click for full-size. i recommend it.

a still life. i didn't completely hate this.


a "narrative" painting, based on the song "a day in the graveyard II" by, of course, sunset rubdown.
i chose it because i feel like if i were to make a movie about my life, this song would be in the trailer. i don't know why, that was just my reaction from the first time i heard it.

this is the song, ignore the video, which is just some guy filming veteran memorials. unless you like it, then that's cool too.


and that's all i have for paintings right now.

my new favourite: sunset rubdown- dragonslayer.

i believe in growing old with grace.
i believe she only loved my face.
i believe i acted like a child, making faces at acquired taste.

spencer krug.
god, i love that man.

seeing this band live is probably one of the top things on my list of things to do in my lifetime. things like this are why i hate living in this corner of the country.



in other news, the library gave my job away before i got to them. that's kind of sucky. but on the bright side, there's a job making yarn that seems fairly promising. except it's 20 minutes out of town. but making yarn? as a job? awesome.

it's may now.

school is done, i don't have a job yet, and i have several weeks until i will if the library hires me again. so these next few weeks will be filled with lots of spare time in which i can release all that creative energy bubbling up inside me. or at least try to do something productive.

cool thing: today, i got my pictures from my trip to new york and prom developed. new york was the start of march, prom was last year. i love me some film photography, it just takes me forever to get around to developing it.

i love how colour photos turn out with my camera, a pentax spotmatic (which, according to my research, is from around 1964). they look so soft and dreamy. of course, that also has to do with my always having the aperture set to 1.4, due to both my love of a shallow depth of field and need for a fast shutter speed due to my shaky hands.

plans for the summer:
-shoot film. around town, at animaland, swimming in waterford.
-dye some yarn, possibly open an etsy shop with recycled yarn and things.
-perhaps also include vintage/modified vintage clothing in that etsy shop.
-yard sale it up, bigtime.
-find a bicycle. spray-paint it bright blue.
-make sure to not stop making art.
