Feeling a little Gene-y

Working hard.
Feeling a little like Gene Pitney...
It's a bummer about this weekend; had plans that fell through... then I didn't even have the capacity to get any work done. I think I helped make up for that tonight.

A lot of work still to get done, must get crackin'! instead of typing away.

CHeers. Send Stella Artois.

Saturday Night

3.5 hours of solid work.
Feels good.

After a bowling tournament today. (Many beers. Not many marks.) Oh well; our team placed 10 out of 32. We won it last year... just spreadin' tha'love.

I wanted to work most of the day, and was really looking forward to tonight. Hopefully I can get some more time tomorrow, but that's gonna be tough. Wife is sick, boys will be boys and the Superbowl (meh). I hope it's either a great game, or a blow-out. None of this mediocre playing... boring everyone.

And I don't really care about commercials.  What ever.

Whatever...

munday(ne)

Ho munday(ne).

Relaxing this evening. Finished some prep on a few things. Studies and ideas flowed... was able to pastel them out. Somebody (not me)'s gonna have to search themselves and really take a good look in the mirror when I'm finished with one of the projects I've got stewing.

Speaking of which. I have some vintage newspapers on the way.... SOF UCK ING EXC ITE D!! to get them. I have already a great idea of utilizing them.

Vanity

Of course I'm vain, I'm ... provocative? interesting? conceited?

Meh

I paint pictures of myself for a few reasons. I hold still longer. I'm always around. I like the music I listen to when I work... same-old same-old.

I'm fairly excited to get to work tomorrow. I plan to use the early morning to prep, eat and whatnot; THEN after lunch: Feverish-Frantic-Fantastical painting. I just hope my brushes are getting a good nights rest. I'm gonna work 'em hard tomorrow.

Oh, and thank you to Dick Blick for getting me the tube of paint... a week-and-a-half later than everything else. I just figured I was crazy, didn't really order it; I had resigned to the thought that I was LOSING MY FUCKING MIND!
So, thanks again for restoring my sanity.
Oh. and Mr.J.C. We need to have some White Russians some night while I paint you. If anyone see's this, they should tell you the plan. You know the wives are down for that.

finally... this thing does what I say

Hooray for a little free time. I was able to get the site up last night, and it's working.

I have a couple more feeds I would like to connect, and a few other odds-and-ends to tie up; otherwise, HOORAY!

One less headache. studio shot up by the end of week.

Frustration

I've spent far too much time trying to make my website work how I want it to. So, I said Fuck It.

I am making it so I will have my blog feed into my website (that is working properly) and will update the site like a blog--only with work instead of explanations... maybe.

I neeeeeed to get into the studio instead of looking at code-line after code-line; trying to figure out where the hell my error is.

Dear HTML. 

Suck it.
sd

If I get everything working tonight, I will put it up. Otherwise it'll be this week.



And I have listened to Fame Monster tonight while 'coding', and remember how good it is. Thx Gaga.

Cure the Cure

I read this last week.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/12/07/komen-foundation-charities-cure_n_793176.html

I have been stewing, and preparing some works to combat this. This is some Bullshit. I hope everyone who gave a few $$ feels good about the money going to corporate lawyers.

THAT is how to find a Cure.

I must say: Susan G Komen Foundation, you will never get another penny from me. Any product that supports you, will get no support from me.
Don't misunderstand, I hope cancer gets cured; But I know lawyers can't do it.

Works on this vein to be posted soon.
Slogan:
CURE the Curing Curers at the CURE Foundation so they can't CURE anyone else.

Ho man

Getting work done... ho man! Multiple canvi' drying, waiting for me to finish 'em up.

Good way to keep the new year rolling.

Yeah.

D-u-n-g DONE

FINALLY! web site is finished(ish)

I will upload it in the AM. Looks pretty good, now I need to get all my images on there... whatever.

I mostly just want to get my ass back to my studio. This coding shit is Boring me out.


Happy New Year. Here's to production.

Diligence

It seems as if my ambition waned considerably this year. I am outlining what I would like to accomplish this next year, and trying to piece together a productive week for myself. I need to have less distractions this year and focus  more on the task I have. The amount of work I plan on completing this year should keep me busy in the studio; away from things that would waste my time. So, I must now apologize to my PS3, friends and sleep:

This year you may feel neglected a little, but I'm not too concerned with that. I'm not intentionally being rude to you, I am just going to put my artwork ahead of you; and specifically friends: You'll know where to find me... and you're welcome to come hang out with me in my studio, I've got no problems with that. You just need to understand that you may have to hold still for a while, and put up with the music.

Sleep, I'll get you back
PS3, I like to relax with you, but our relationship has become more one sided, and I don't like that very much. I know you'll understand... you'll be there when I'm feelin' it.

Onward

fan page

Almost finished setting up the Facebook fanpage.

Also! Web page, well... I guess its not too exciting, but it is on schedule. Deadlines. hmph.

What an exciting Tuesday.

Holy crap... Crap [emphasis]

Fuck! Yes, fuck.

How lazy/unmotivated have I been...? Not as much as it seems. I have been getting some work done, just not an amount that I am satisfied with; Fuck-around time is over.
I have completely delved into my site redesign, and am trying to get everything in order for some serious shit that have stumbled upon the other day. I think, of course, that adding this new idea to my ever expanding idea pool is ultimately going to turn out for the best. I had a solitary focus on separate pieces of the human anatomy, but something is happening.

My music tastes have changed. My food tastes have changed. My attitude in general has changed. Something happened to me over this summer.

I was semi-lazy, and I'm not very happy about that. Fuck, I might have just not had the motivation... but I don't know. I always think of my studio in the best possible light and situation, but I've been frustrated lately when I'm Entering it. (I can't have that) I have to drop my stresses. I've had some great ideas for "happier" works, but it's hard to make the pie smile when all I want to do is make the smile broken.
I updated the photo on my site tonight. I also gave myself a deadline of December for the redesign. I know it's possible, I just need to work on it; and not play so many fucking video games.
Originally I had "I'm so happy." in the circle of the face; but I changed it to the more descriptive, and truthful, ";!"

I have been painting on photographs. FANTASTIC. The results, so far have been outstanding. I am able to manipulate with many different materials, to alter the meaning or subtle direction of the photo.
I also have a couple pictures that Mel took of the boys that I want to paint. [I wonder if that is the proper sentence structure of that sentence? I'm tired and listening to music... maybe I could take out "that"... whatever.]

I hope to get back to my (I think I said 2-3) posts per week. I need to keep myself motivated. 

I have so much to say...
I'm skipping NaNoWriMo; I feel it would just be another way for me to waste some time.
But, I'm gonna be learning Español.

Here's the pic.

Lax

I've been a little lax this past few weeks, on keeping up with the blog posts. I've also been a little lax on getting work done.

Sometimes, there isn't enough time to make enough time.

Juried Show

I met the deadline, and have entered "I First Saw the Dragon" into a juried show.

Now I just have to sit back an wait for a while until I (hopefully) get notice of its acceptance into the show.

...

 ok. I have a commission to work on in the meantime, and a favor for a friend.

done & ready for the show

gripe

Apparently failing at posting, and failing at production go hand in hand.

All I want to do is get my ass to the studio for and extended amount of time; is this too much to ask? I think not.
I'll crank up the tunes and bust out some of this build-up. I am very Fucking frustrated right now.

I can barely type...
