long long ago.

I wish I could go. Plus the Blur ones.
I don't live in the UK, however.
Waiting for Conan on the Tonight Show.

Play with stuff.

Symbolic self-portrait. Not done there. I entered it in a contest. I don't know if I won.
Ms. Davis calls this Atomic Jesus. See where I got that from?
Plus if only I could accomplish the tenebrism of Caravaggio.

For a children's book contest. I don't know if I've won that either. About diversity. Friend, Michelle wrote it, I...made illustration. First real time with watercolor. Not great. Just some money would be nice.

Old work.

the woman is inspired by Toni Morrison's book, Beloved. I thought of Sethe, but this should be better with Baby Suggs.
The last one is inspired by Whistler's Nocturne in Black and Gold. However, the book that showed it made it so dark, I've realized so much of an inspired. A warped inspiration.

Charcoal, fabric and me are good buddies. I wish I had an obsession with it though. I'm not too crazy about it. I see a strong skill here...but..

Class ^ self portrait using patterns. Needless to say I wasn't very excited about it. Words in there as if I was in a middle of a conversation.

I have a slight adoration for Damon Albarn. So much so for his beautiful face.

Not truly an accurate depiction, for he is just much better looking that this. it was on my sketchbook. I didn't bother to give 100% effort. And i usually do these things at night so I'm mighty tired by then.
 I hope to add more when I see more pictures of him that catch my eye. I also have a Jonny Greenwood face obsession. I'll show some variations later. You'll see it.


My most prized work this year. I don't care if it was taken from a picture. I love it. Free poster made by me! My frugal side and my artistic side are full of satisfaction...although there are some things I could've fixed on his face. Ah...John Lennon. Wonderful. Color pencil. My first time using those Prismacolor...serious type of color pencils. I love using it. Dry media and control are just much easier. Unfortunately I can't use this for college crap. Maaaaaaan.

Art College is scaring me already. I am not confident that I have enough stuff for my portfolio. I need to stock up on figure drawings, but how can I do that....all those nudes when I don't have access to nude people? Just don't know what major I want. I'm at a fork in the road. If I want to go into animation...then I'd have to know a thing or two about it. I don't. I don't draw "characters" like a comic strip. There is no character I draw over and over again, unless it's Damon Albarn or Jonny Greenwood. I've realized.
Most of my works don't show the best I can do.

Life is hard isn't it?

Next Year: Birthday list:
ART THING STUFFS
yup decision probably final.

Gonna read urhhmm. this:
Marlon Brando. I love this. Too funny. Yes I'm reading this book. Yes it is for school.
I'm starting to really dig...yes dig The Beach Boys. This time period is really getting into my head.

So far life consists of school and college. God I had no cable. We removed it on my birthday. I've had cable since....I'll say..2nd grade. So 10 years or so cable. And I had no internet at the same time. I was in such a depressive mood. You know my escape was gone so that hurt. Now I have satellite. And no BBC America, my haven. I mean I'm never gonna afford to go to the UK anytime soon, so that, my friend, was a taste of it. I couldnt' have developed an alright English accent, nor an Irish one. Wouldn't have been able to see documentaries on English things. pity...pity...pity.
