In arty art news there are 2 new pieces up on Society 6. One of the pieces was the inspiration piece from Matt Steady's latest album Theory of Ruins. Wasn't sure I was going to post it this week, but yup, I did. The other piece is a kitschy, campy piece that is a bit cartoony but creepy and cute, too. Make sure to check them out over at Society 6.
In other arty art news, I didn't get as much time as I'd have liked arting. Adulting stuff...ugh. I plan on working on the current piece a lot today...hoping I can finish it up this week. It's coming along nicely and again it's another one way out of the zone of comfort. Right now it's normal...**GASP** I plan on putting my creepy, twisted style into it. I have ideas to do just that. Getting the base down has been fun. It's just too normal for me. I have quite a few ideas for it, and I'll be trying them all out and seeing which fit and which don't. I do know not all of them will fit without making it too ouch on the noggin'. The great thing about being a digital artist is the whole layer thing...when I actually remember to add a new layer for the experiments...I've been better at that, as of late. I have a ton of ideas brewing, I haven't sketched any out, which I really should. The last 2 pieces I've done (they will be making an appearance on Society 6 soon.) have been just off the cuff...and they've turned out creepy and weird and outside of my comfort zone. All good things. The rough sketches that I do have are calling me, as well...there is no block only art.
In other news, it's been pretty uneventful. I get to workout today and there's the looking forward to it and dreading it at the same time thing going. It has been that way for probably a month or so. I still force myself to do it, because I know not doing it will just make me feel blech and off. So I put my big girl panties on and get shit done. Been reading a lot, too. Reading novels and non-fiction. Both inspire me to art and I learn more...I have an unquenchable thirst for the knowledge. I do love to learn, and while I did very well in a school setting, my true appreciation for learning didn't happen until after. I learn much better outside of a classroom setting, at my own pace and my own choice of subject. My bookshelf is quite a mash up of books. I look over and just smile. I'm sure the bookshelf hates me and will attempt a murder suicide if I don't put some of the books into my storage bins.
On that rambling note, minions, I shall leave you with the hope that your week is flying by and that it flies right into the weekend! Until next time...I bid you an adieu.
