This is it!

That's right!! Nov 1/09 at 1pm I will be heading to Metropolis to see This is it! on the big screen! Bought my Ticket today online, picking it up next weekend!

Markers and Daiso

Whee! Jeri's just in the shower and then we are heading to Aberdeen Centre with Mum.  The New Canada line Skytrain replaced the B-line bus and so now there is a skytrain going right to it. they have a huge Daiso there and a Beard Papa's! So it should be fun.

I've recently bought quite a few Copic Sketch Markers and Various Refills! I mixed a lighter shade of Mauve shadow in an empty markers. Mauve shadow with blender.  I'm still a little miffed to lose my Trias because they had a lot more bold colours but I guess I cam Mix some now HAHA!

Staff discount is good. Copics are the most expensive markers available right now. The refills make it really affordable though.

Well I better go get dressed!
 I might post a preview and some sketches of my drawings later :D

Shop and stuff.

First off

Heart and pimp this article please: Unspoken Art Exhibition. A friend of mine is a featured artist, and I'd like it to be successful. It's for The Cancer foundation. Show it love.

Second

On gurukitty we are going to have Glass Bead pendants of not only Conflagration and Daqueran stuff, but also our fine art paintings etc. Anticipate wildly, or at least pretend.

Our Shop has all free shipping! SO order some Daqueran comics or one of our super comfy tshirts! ya the Tshirts look fucking HOT by the way. I have 2 Tik's and kitty has a daqueran and 2 tik shirts! They're soft and great quality. They've been through hell and back and the image is still clear. and they look pretty classy too. Christmas is coming :)

Christmas

SO I've ordered parts of my Christmas presents, painted, assembled, or created other ones. I'm off to a good start. If you were smart you'd have your christmas stuff started now so you don't bitch and whine about christmas later on. You will anyways, but I can tune you fucks out now ;)

Working On Presents

Christmas is coming up fast for people who make their gifts, so this weekend I'm starting on them. Temple is all sorted out. I've got to finish making one and one is in the mail I'll finish it up when that part arrives. I'm at a loss for Mum as usual though. Could do a painting, but she always want's stuff so far out of my area the most I can muster is a high school-esque job. I'll think of someone. Temple's boys are easy.

I have to work on a Hallowe'en costume too. We are doing a Star Trek Theme at our store for Hallowe'en, Kitty are I are going as Borg. I'm one of two, and shes two of two. HA!

Waiting for the First coat of Gesso to dry on 2 8x8 canvases for the Anonymous Art show. I hope to sell more paintings this year. I only sold 1 of the 3 I submitted last year, though I have sold prints of the other ones on dA which is nice. :)

My Dad won the auction for that charity painting and So I'm going to be framing it next week sometime too. Tuesday Or Wednesday I'll be ordering the frame for it. I'm going to double check the measurements when I actually get the painting back though, since canvases can be uneven, I don't want to have any problems.

Good times. Well, the Gesso should be dry by now I think! <3

Going to post a grainy preview of a painting on my Animated Guru blog. :)

Painting Sold

The verve Gallery Auction has ended and my painting sold as the highest bid! I'm happy it was my dad that won the auction but there was a bit of a bidding war for it, Ha ha :)





So I'll be picking it up for daddy next week, and framing it for him. I'm so pleased.
Tonight Kitty and I are going to have a Christmas like dinner. she's having chicken and we're having mashed 'tatos corn and stuffing and stuff like that :) haha! the overcast freshly rained days remind us of Christmas (because that's how Christmas weather is SUPOSED to be here).
 So I'm going to go get that started :)

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).

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...
