verve gallery auction

MY art is up for auction (as well as others) on Ebay right now! proceeds go to the Boys and girls club of Canada! This is a collection of pieces that were painted by 6 artists of various backgrounds. The pieces were painted live at the RDS Skate Supply Lower Lonsdale Block Party and Skate Competition. Each artist was given a 3' x 4' canvas and some spray paint (compliments of Opus Framing and Art).

my painting is in it:

Thanks guys!

digital painting?

I thought having a shiney new tablet might be super inspiring but after 2 weeks of owning it I had done nothing (traditional or digital). Then today i said "fuckit!" and started playing with it and boom, I'm starting to be happy with the result of what I'm doing. Its a painting of MJ, and its digital, but those 2 things aside, I'm pretty pleased (not that I'm against painting MJ but It's just that when you want to work on your own stuff, fanart/ tribute art is a frustration)

anyways, Maybe I'll post it but ... i dunno. I'm not exactly fond of digital work and its more of an exercise than really a "creative thing" in fact, it isn't really creative at all - its just a photo referenced duplicate sort of... sometimes you need that though. to get the uncreative out of the way. Maybe just post it because there is a tribute category... we'll see if it still makes me happy when I'm done HAHA!

i started reading the very thick MJ biography (updated and re released) on Tuesday, and to my horror, I am at the end... And guess what!? HE DIED :<
:lol:
Bad ending.
I'm surprised i burned through 2 books (ones around 3 inches thick) in less than a week but that what happens when art takes a vacation i guess.

anyways, I dont have much else to say... just felt like talking...

art block

I am so tired of this 2 month long art block. I've done nothing but sit in front of blank canvases and listen to music. Thank god for music. I think I'd die without it. I don't think I realize how important music is to me until its all I have left.

Losing my Abba CD has pissed me off so much. I hadn't transferred all my music to my laptop when i bought it a couple years ago and for some reason never missed the abba until now. now I want it, and cant find it.

I figured out how to get Videos from you tube downloaded in small files for my Zune though so I have some fun music vids and randomness on my zune now! Crispin Glover, the Picard Song, and He-man means the seabus is less boring at 6 am HAHA!

I fucking Love my Zune! Next time I'mma get that 130gig one. its big HAHA!

I'm working on the artist trading card drawing that go in the Daqueran Pre sale comics. I did one today. at least I've drawn that much. UG. I just want to paint. Its so basic.

I remember countless times I've talked people out of their artist blocks. Someone has to rescue me this time...

Yes, Crispin Glover IS awesome

Whatzupwitu

This is just too cute. the little doodles that float around. this thing just reeks of wholesome. <3

funny day

Brought the Wii to mums today because she wanted to borrow it for the week, lugged it there just for them to say they didnt want it for the whole week. GRR.
We played Wii Sports Resort today. I love the basketball!HAHA

we went shopping and I got some new shoes and socks. Hightops. Black with black roses all over and tattoo art on the side. black and rainbow socks of course.
Temple sent me a pair of shorts to cope with the fucking heat. It's awful. i hate the heat, but the shorts are cool. comfy. they're Off white. I normally only wear dark colours but these off white ones almost match the off white pastey skin of my legs so its an interesting thing. HA!

I got a Michael Jackson T-shirt at the rock shop that is just stunning! i almost died when i saw it. I hoped but didnt expect to see one there. I go there for my serial killer shirts.
I wanted an Evil Dead shirt but they failed me. They made up for it with MJ


My new Intuos 4 Tablet kicks ass. It lets me be a southpaw. i dont have to adapt. I'm even using my mouse left handed. I'm out of control!

Gotta meet one the guy who I did one of the logos for tomorrow at 7pm, hopefully to get paid.
Well back to work tomorrow. I cant wait for my weekend again.
