New Artwork

Working with Flash on the computer: Just a "advertisment" But I worked with pictures and some graphics. Surprisingly, it took me about 90 minutes to do this.
My mom's Mother's Day gift.
Medium: Pastel
Meant to put these in reverse order, but oh well. Close up of graphic painting-above lips. Can see the black words showing through the other layers of paint.
Close up #2
Close up #3
The whole picture. This was my painting II final.
First layer meant to be a topographical picture made with words from Sin City and Watchmen. In acrylic.
Second layer: the primary colors and teeth in oil
Third layer: The T's and L's, added to try and get a comic book feel. Oil.
Fourth layer: Outline almost everything in black. Oil.
Also, the white on the bottom lip is intentional. I was trying to copy the style of a black and white Sin City woman.  I think it was successful, but it still seems to be confusing for most.
Finally, Narrative painting.
 Used The Wasteland by T.S. Eliot
Took Part I and turned into a multi-media piece...sorta.

I had this great new idea today!  What if I painted/drew my own Christmas cards?!  I may just be adding to my pile of work, but I think I want to give it a shot.  So in the spirit of the 12 days of Christmas, I will paint 12 Christmas cards! Again, this will be first come, first serve!

"Why I'm Dysfunctional Today"

Things I've learned about being in the "real world" so far/or what I have experienced while still living with my parents:    Since I now schedule my own work time...                I like to get projects done one at a time before moving onto another one,         which then results in me undertaking this huge project, and working on that-which is usually not that important-not getting anything else done all day, and then wearing myself out because I feel like I didn't do anything (since I haven't finished the project).          That being said, I think all projects I have will take 1-3 days tops.  Not even close.         So then I tried to move on to scheduling my days about hour by hour, or 2-3 hours at a time.  This result?  Spending way too much free time on the computer and talking to friends, or not accounting for travel and eating time....

Some of you may know already, but for the past 11-12 weeks, I have been reading "The Artist's Way-Walking in This World" by Julia Cameron.  And I have already learned a great deal about myself, my art self, and fueling my creativity.   So for this post, I am extending on one of the "tasks," as well as sharing a tidbit of what I read.  "As artist's, we routinely tap an inner well, and the well is fed by our spiritual condition.  When we have kept our spirit carefully nurtured, the creative water seems to flow easily.  When our spirit is dried out with unacknowledged discouragement, our inner well runs dry."  "As artists, we don't want to be petty, but the truth is, we need  to be.  If we try to 'let go of' a creative slight, we very often simply bury it.  There, tucked neatly into our subconscious, it can do its slow and poisonous work.  Too embarrassed to repeat the 'tiny' comment to a friend on the way out the door fr...
