Entry full of blah
I have totally and completely neglected my Star Wars website for the past few months, updating only at the beginning of the month. Yeeesh, it's so sad! I used to update that sucker about once a week or so. More when Episode III was in full swing.
I need to pick a Site of the Month. (Any suggestions would be appreciated. Any SW related sites) AND I need to make a new desktop calendar for this month. I do have an idea for it as well.
I also need to tidy up my own little corner of cyberspace. I redesigned it a little while ago but I never quite finished everything. I'd also like to undertake the task of hauling every single icon I've made onto a new photo hosting account and organize them more specifically so it'd be easier for people to navigate. Then I could just link them to my website. Ugh, that'd cause me to have to use some brain power, that's for sure.
My painting teacher is doing a demo at school today. All this week Art Beat is going on. Basically it's a series of workshops, presentations, demonstrations, and entertainment done by actual professionals in their feild. Mark is doing the demo right during class so I don't think anything would matter if I'm a little late today. Honestly, I don't even want to take my work down here and move it to class only to work on it for a little while there only to have to lug it all back home. I will go today to see Mark paint 'n stuff like that there but I'll keep working on my painting at home. It's a tree. It kind of looks like one too at the moment.
What's amusing about my painting class is that I showed Mark my master copy last week in class and he just said "I love how painterly you made this." No, painterly is not a word as far as I know but what he means is he likes how it looks like I did my own personal interperetation of the painting. It's very rough but you can still tell what it is basically. It looks more abstract than the real painting. Mark likes that kind of stuff. I wonder if he'd be disappointed if I told him I was actually trying to go for the realisim of the painting. He also said simply surprising stuff that baffled me because I really don't know what I'm doing. "It seems that you're very comfortable working on a canvas this size." it was rather large, "And those textures you can't get by trying." I think the texture on the wall I had it pinned to showed through the canvas. I actually laughed a little when he said these things because every single freaking thing he told me was purely and completely accidental because I honestly don't know what the HELL I'm doing!
I am getting a little better at mixing paint and stuff like that there, but honestly I need a lot more practice.
It is now time for me to say again how much I appreciate I Love Lucy. I was painting while watching some episodes last night. I put on "The Operetta" because it still makes me laugh hysterically. Lucy puts on a little musical and she plays the "snaggle-toothed old gypsie queen". If you have the means, I highly recommend watching it. It is so choice ;)
I know my entries have been kind of boring lately, I'm not sure why. Well, I do know why but I really can't help that can I? *shrugs*
Alrighty, I'm off to update A Master and Apprentice to let people know I'm not dead and then start work on a new desktop wallpaper.
