Well with the school year ending in site, I am starting to make plans for the summer. I am not sure yet what to do for the summer. I still might take classes but not sure what I want to do yet. The trail is calling me but in away I want to continue with classes. I have all supper professors this term and it has been great being in their classes. That’s always a big help when you going to college. You might or might not know how it is when you have a teacher who doesn’t care for you.

I could talk about what we are talking about in one of my classes right now, but that might just bore you, if you are not into art in depth. So I will spear you that lecture. I have been painting some but with school my time is not all that plentiful. I will try to go out this week and paint and take some pictures for you. For today,I might just go for a bike ride and just to get out and see the day of light again; not just stuck at the PC writing papers all the time or reading the textbooks. But you know if I took the summer off I might be bored out of my mind within two weeks!!! Oh well that is how it goes. This is not the first time I been in collage so it must be that I like it. Some how deep down inside a sick and twist need to study and learn!! Well I going to end it here and go do some other things.

Two nights ago, I had this dream of falling into this void or vex. It had all these colors and it was cold and warm at the same time. I awoke and did this image of what I saw in the dream.  For some reason I remember the colors viverly  and I don't think I will forget it.   NO I didn't take LSD or ACID!!! I can remember the sounds pf echoing heart beats and seeing the yellow and red flames and being cold at the same time and it got colder the farther I went down.

 

The Void.
The Void,  Digital Art.

I awoke shaking and It was so vived that I remember it eough to do this. it was so realistic.

Name that Painting!!

I could not find the right title for this new painting of mine. I thought it would be fun to let all of you try to name it. It's an abstract in Acrylic paint, this is the the first one that I did in Acrylics. And to tell you the truth, I like oil a lot better for many reasons.


What would be the right  name for this painting??

Please put your title,your name and where you are from (If you are a non-Tblog member) In comment. In two weeks I will post the the new title.

My Velentines Poem


I shot an arrow up in the air, and hit cupid right in the dairy-air!
He screamed and shouted in pain and called me a fairy,
so a drew again and shot him again.  He let out a scream and droped all his candy.

I laughed with delight as the candy fell from the air.
I yelled back, don't call me a fairy,  you diaper wearing freak!  
 
you fly around  with nothing more on then a diaper, and you call me a fairy?

 

Then he quickly flew off, with two arrows stuck in his ass, and thats how
I got my velentines candy this year.

   Happy velentines to all the ladies out there and to all!  ;)

As time goes on, the classes are becoming more intents and more fun to learn. Right now we are studding Adobe illustrator and more advances elements of the application in one of my classes, along with more sketching on screen and more reading as we go on with the classes.  I am sure that this will go on for the next 4 years. With more fun art classes will bring more new things to learn. School is going well and it’s taken up most of my time, this is why I don’t blog as much as I use to or one of the reasons.

Today is my birthday, not much has happened today just the same routine.  It’s been snowing here every day for a week now and we have a lot of snow on the ground up here in Maine (about 3 Feet)  It’s  been between -10 down to and +23F lately so I don’t go outside that much these days.  I have a lot of studding to do, so I have to cut it short and go back reading now, stay warm!
