onward and backwards!





First try at pigskin. Much harder than citruses. But you know, sometimes, when you fail miserably you learn a lot. I have learnt that shading is hard, and I should probably read a book/blog/wiki/ask someone who knows for a few tips.

Also, for those wondering, NO i have no intention of sticking needles into people without having an apprenticeship. I am just entertaining myself and trying to see if I can be any good at this.

That is all.

because I do what I want....




I've had this tattoo machine for a while now, but was to chicken to try it out... not bad for a first try no? but I have this feeling oranges sit nicer than people do. plus they don't complain when I fuck it up.

Because apparently grown ups need instructions on how to use a shared office toilet.....

alley cats at night

i'm an alley cat. This makes it hard for relationships, because i am prone to wander. It's not about wanting to have relationships or sex with a bunch of people, i'm not that kind of person, and probably couldn't manage the juggling act even if I was.

No it's about space. I need space. Space to wonder. To let my mind breathe. To do random things that I'm afraid will make me look crazy to the rest of the world. To scrape off the 10 million thoughts that get stuck to the insides of my skull. To find a glittery ribbon floating in the wind and follow it down the road for a while, and then realize suddenly I just drove to vegas. that kind of space. It's a rare person who can appreciate this quality, or at least, if not appreciate it, accept it.

See for most people, it's not enough to just put a saucer of milk on the back step. Ally cats crave affection as much as any other, it's just that they will only accept it on their own terms. They need to remain independent, or at least need to hold onto the illusion of independence. People need to draw boxes around everything. to define things. But defining things so often puts them in cages, and I can assure you the best things in life wither and die when put in cages.

Cabin




It snowed like 30 cm in April. Winter will never end and we will all freeze to death. probably.

resolutions

I don't make new years resolutions, but I do like to take a moment on my birthday and challenge myself to grow. It's my own personal new years. So for 2011 I pledge to do the following:

Say "yes" to more
make bad decisions
throw up in public (preferably by The Ship, but anywhere on 17th Ave will suffice)

Pickle Fence




I really did think it said Pickle Fence, until I was half done and realized that why would someone tell me to draw a pickle fence?
