wtf cats don't dance[LISTENING: The Cure - UNDERNEATH THE STARS]

Amazing to think he would have been 40 years old. He’s 23 forever…but he accomplished & created more in 23 years than most people do in their whole lifetimes.
I have a portrait of him I worked on but it’s not done in time (and I don’t think it’s good enough for this occasion). I may finish it someday…but I scanned 40 photos of him and shared them online instead, aha! (*´・ω・) (・ω・`*) 〜♪

wtf cats don't dance[LISTENING: L'Arc~en~Ciel - VIVID COLORS]



Done! I like the outcome. Fun to use coloured pencils again…Well it’s kinda strange looking on the computer ahaha & I couldn’t take a good enough photo of it to my satisfaction. The colours still look a little off compared to in real life but whatever; everything always looks better irl…art
Aha, good riddance I’m done with it! ヾ(@⌒▽⌒@)ノワーイ!

I’m satisfied with it…I’m surprised I actually finished it. It was looking so shitty to me barely into starting it and I wanted to scrap it. Good thing I let it rot for a while (I almost typed for a whale…hmm) and took a new look at it…well don’t know if it’s a good thing xD maybe just a useful thing. Well that made no sense.

But there is also the WIP, first real time to photograph lots of stages. It’s annoying to do! Less steps next time maybe, I don’t really know why but it took me like 2 hours to select which exact/how many WIPs to show, so when I got to around to finally aligning them up I just did it sloppily xD. Why so slow to pick I don’t know why…

And gotta start some Beatles artwork!
I really do nothing else. xD

P.S. diggin’ through an old Life magazine…I found a nice rare pic of Ms. Shrimpton! A surprise to myself. ^^

photos by Hiro (Yasuhiro Wakabayashi) for mid-60s Harper’s Bazaar…

I just picked a random few to put up. Forgot which issues those came from…years 1964 or 1965. I’m pretty sure 1965 though. I barely see any of Hiro’s photos online…although he worked quite a bit for Harper’s Bazaar and is one of my favourite photographers. I suppose from now on I’ll be collecting images by him…they need to be saved! Ahaha. Made another photobucket to put them in because I’ll run out of space…

Really like the b&w photograph with the coloured necklace; now I’m going to use that effect in a future artwork of my own. Charcoal with watercolour? Probably charcoal with coloured pencil…or chalk pastel. Hmm uhm…

~~~~

So…
I been working on that hyde coloured pencil portrait for almost a month now…although, total hours worked on it is no more than 15 hours! I’m so lazy, I can’t work or concentrate on anything art-related. I think this whole past year I’ve been this way though. Year-long artblock, wow. Any completed artwork I’ve managed to squeeze out this past year is just pure luck. Don’t know what the problem is…my lolFAIL life hasn’t gotten any shittier or anything so I don’t what the deal is. Hahahaha. Whatever, it’s just awful summer, I don’t like the heat…

It’s interesting to me that she mentions here that she didn’t want to go into film…but later on went to be in the movie Privilege. I wish she had done some more films. I guess she didn’t want to, really. ρ(-ε- ) イジイジ xD

wtf cats don't dance[LISTENING: David Sylvian - WHEN LOVE WALKS IN]


Finished a watercolour of hyde. I think it may be my best watercolour so far…at least my personal favourite. And first time putting up WIPs in a long while. It’s sort of interesting! Next time I hope to show more steps. It’s helpful to myself to look at these. Even looking at the WIPs for this one I see things that I shouldn’t have done. LOL


Anyway something unrelated to my new painting…a woman for whom I drew about 8 portraits of her family for about 400$ total…well her house burned down. The artworks were destroyed too. It’s kind of a strange feeling to know something that, although you no longer owned, but you worked really hard on no longer exist, just like that, all gone! I don’t know if she had insurance or whatnot; I think so. I wish I had the time to redraw them all for her. I do have digital photographs I took of about 5 of them, but the others are gone for good. Aha, as I sold them I thought “Their family, generations from now, will probably own these and wonder about them…” Well there goes my art legacy! LOL
I shouldn’t be laughing…
XDDD
