I’ve been stuck in an art rut lately. This evening I finally finished a painting that I started back in February. Things just weren’t progressing; for those who make things, you know how projects suddenly slam up against a wall and the next step seems not only uncertain but impossible. The majority of it was [...]

Lines, Cheese, and A Little Extra Fabulous
Let’s go over this again. When you’re in a line, there is what some of us like to call “The Line Rule”. It’s generally called “personal space” or “your bubble”. The ideal line looks like this (but with…you know, more dimension): A typical line also looks like this: Maybe it’s just me, but isn’t there [...]

How To Draw A Perfect Tree
I’ve been sketching way more often lately, which is proving to be simultaneously exhausting and relaxing. It feels nearly theraputic, especially when things need to be shaded with a mechanical pencil. It’s exhausting when you realize there are more ideas in your head than hours in the day it will require to get them all [...]

Daily Zen
A more appropriate title will be forthcoming. For now, that fits. It’s my blog, I may keep that title. So there. Just a little bit of daily routine, shared with all y’all, in hopes that it might add a little zest of zen to your lives. When it’s almost time for bed: -This site reminded [...]

Spinster in the Making
It’s been some time since my last venture into this blog. The WordPress side of things has been neglected in lieu of my MySpace, Vox, and LiveJournal… but I’m back now! The word count that updates as you’re typing an update on here is really distracting. My newest obsession is home decor. It all really [...]

New and shiny.
The original subject header was “Hello, world!”, but I opted out of that one for the moment. First and foremost, this is an introductory post to what I’m hoping will not be another failed attempt at productivity. His name is drunkbunny. There’s a lot going on behind the scenes, but I wanted to get a [...]

Mentionable of the moment
Today’s Mentionable of the Moment is booga. We graduated from college together and she’s been getting quite a bit of notice lately in the art world. Dirty, dark art with a twist… just go, and give her some props.
