Life Drawing.

So, I've been drawing a lot lately. I don't really know why, but maybe it has to do with what I have been seeing. I guess I've been to many skinny girls in the art I've been viewing and if you know me I'm a chubby chaser. I love my cute chubby girls. So, I've been drawing a lot of women. Trying to get the figure down so I can draw a lot of chubby women. Also, I think women are beautiful and it's ok to have a few extra pounds. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I really want to draw chubby girls so women will see that you can be big and proud of it. <3

100th Post.

So, I've been up all night chatting with The Girlfriend and after that I drew this just to see what I could draw. I like it, it's a totally new style for me. Hope you like it. I used digital Oil Pastels for this.

Weird.

I have just downloaded Corel Painter 12 and I must say, I really like it. It's a lot better then 11, but again my computer isn't all that great. Anyways, last night and tonight I've been working on this weird alien thing. I kind of like it. I finally finished a painting and it looks ok. I'm happy with it but I know I can do better in the future.

Learning 2 Sing?

It's been years since I have sung and recorded it. I really hate how I can never play with a singer, so I have started to work on my vocals once again. This is probably my 20th time I've done this, but I tried something different this time around. I have downloaded a audio book for vocal lessons. It's something like Singing On The Go. Something cheesy like that. Last night I was doing some of the lessons and picked out my range. That has been the hardest thing for me. I could never really find my singing range. Well, last night I finally found it. So knowing this new great range, I began to re-learn Time of Your Life by Green Day. It's a easy song to sing and I know it by heart-ish. Anyways, I put on my capo to change the key of the song that suited best for my range.

This is the first take I sang and really the only good one out of the 10 I recorded. The singing isn't all that great. I can't hit the notes straight on. I can bend up to it and hit it, but I can't singing it like how it should be sung. Anyways, I do hope to do more of these little covers and work on my singing again. I do love writing songs and hate that I can never have a singer sing them. So, I'm giving it another try.

Protect The Family.

A man went into a gun shop to buy a gun.

He ask the clerk, “What gun is best to protect a family?”

The clerk thought for a moment...then he walked

over to the right hand of the store and pointed

at the pistol on the table.

With a wife and two beautiful kids to protect,

the young man smiled and bought the pistol.

Many years have past and

the children are all grown up.

The old man came home from his wife’s funeral.

Not once has the gun ever been handled.

It sat in the hidden drawer in the

man's bedroom collecting dust.

Tired and depressed, he found his gun

and took his own life.

The Artist's Way.

My therapist has recommended this book called "The Artist's Way" by Julia Cameron. It's a self help book to help you be more creative in life. It's been about a week and I found the book and been working through it. It's really great and it's been helping me out in little things. The image above is a contract in the book and I wanted to sign it, kind of add it to my art portfolio.

The Man.

You know that feeling

when that exciting thing

grows dull.

That feeling is you learning about

the man behind the curtain.

The Way I Looked Growing Up.

Growing Up.

I was on /b/ a couple of months ago and I came across this pic.

Template.

I really liked the idea so I made the art on the top of the post showing how much I've changed over the Twelve years. I also found another pic of the same idea, but besides growing up. You draw your dream husband or wife. I may also do that as well, but not sure.

My Punk Rock Parents.

Don't get my wrong. I love my parents and I'm happy they were able to divorce and work together without killing each other. But, there is this weird feeling I get when I look at the photos of my parents. More happy then sad. Maybe it's because they look like punk rockers and I think that's so cool. I can tell all my friends that I had kick ass parents and even had a short lived band together. My Dad has guitar and vocals while my Mom played drums. Totally "White Stripes". By the way, I love The White Stripes. So, maybe I picture my parents playing songs like The White Stripes and that's why I love these two pictures of my Mom and Dad.
