  • Mood: Tired
  • Listening to: Reaching From Nowhere - Milla Jovovich
Sorry that I've been a little MIA lately. I just haven't felt like doing arty-farty things. I have been taking photo's, but they've been pretty vapid and meaningless and I don't think that DeviantART is the right place for vapid and meaningless - unlike flickr which I've been picspamming. [link]

In other news, my year off is coming to a close so I'm looking at universities. I've figured out where I want to go, but getting accepted is the hard part. I'm terrified of interviews and really need some more figurative work for my portfolio. But I'm just not in the mood for figurative right now and my mother doesn't understand that *has a grump*. Painting just serves a different purpose for me; it's how I talk to myself and how I solve my problems. I need to see whats on the inside, outside, in order to fully understand it...if that makes any sense.
Photography on the other hand is entirely different. I already understand what I'm seeing, I just want to capture it and share it with you.

And what about sculpture? well, I guess thats just how I think..and I can't be bothered explaining what that means.

Bonnie,

Greetings from the city of Angels.

What are you up to, art-girl?

uni applications...job searching, lots of cringe-worthy life stuff. It's hard to make lots of art when you're getting your life together.

I'm doing some art courses to improve my technical abilities and to show the people at the universities I'm applying to that I'm not a one-trick-pony. I'm not going to post any of it on dA because it's not proper artwork - just practice.
I've got some ideas for sculptures and photographs that I can do at uni next year (if I get in) when I have art supplies and studios at my disposal...so there is a little excitement lingering under the surface of the life-iceberg.

How are you?

Well it has sort of been a great year.

I published my first book, traveled to France and Germany, had a feature article in "International Artist" magazine, a solo show here in Los Angeles, and network television did a piece on the missing children paintings.

Holy smokes!

But the vital things include coming to terms with a lot of choices with my career and with my family. My father is very ill.
Life is grand, though, I think.

John Paul

Personal relationships are the most important things in the world.

Thank you.

yay! thank you!
You must have a really good memory; I'm terrible at remembering birthdays.

You're welcome :)
It's the same day as my little sister's, although remembering the time difference is a different matter =p
