Updates and word spirals

May 10th 2010 01:32

Got a few word spirals I didnt get a chance to show you before..

Ive got a few more churned out since these...Im starting to use a little colour here and there, which is fun, but at the moment I started to use colour everything skewed off and I spent two hours sketching birds. Im quite good at birds but dont draw them often - Im not sure what my GOAL is in this sketching, so its a little hard. I just want to have fun and create something pleasing and interesting, however, Im not sure Im happy with it. I think the absinth is to blame - I plan to get rid of it tonight.

The holiday has been, thus far, magnificent. Ive worked the stallion, played with the other horses, and cooked every night. Ive availed myself of the simplest pleasures - sleeping, eating and dressing in comfortable clothes.

I'll share some more art soon.....

Sketches and Stationary

April 23rd 2008 00:19

If you're a writer or a sketcher, or like me, both, you feel a tremendous sense of godlike importance in the stationary isle. See, it was crowded last time I went, a place that is usually scarce except for people buying cards, was full of people who had to have paper and pens.

Nose high in the air, lofty expression fixed firmly on my face, I swanned through the crowd. Where they confusedly looked at the bright colours and many different types of paper, I cut through the pretty gem like colours for my prize.

Cos unlike them, I knew exactly what I was there for.

I have 2 mechanical pencils - One is a HB, 5mm led. The other is a 2B 7mm led. I also have a standard 2B pencil, a ruler, a large eraser and some fine tipped gel pens. Ive been sketching at first, just in my journal(the lined pages) to make me feel its 'not important' no pressure. Recently I got sick of the lines, so switched to copy paper. Copy paper is atrocious for sketching. Not being acid free, it actually repels the led and a strong black line is damn near impossible. So, on this fated day, I was looking for 7mm 2B leds, and a nice book of acid free paper.

It mystifies me - When I stride into a supermarket isle people go all atwitter. They peer into my trolley or basket as if seeing what Ive bought will help with their selection. This time I was faced with downright hostility - how dare I knife through the pen buying crowd, and worse, how dare I know exactly what I want from this glittering and multi coloured wall of confusion.

But the point is, that none of these people know what they want because they just dont use enough stationary. I think thats such a crime honestly, who doesnt love it? It makes me wonder if I sketch just because I like stationary so much. I dont like the new trend of it breaking after a select amount of time - my HB mechanical pencil is 6 years old and still going strong, all the others die after a few hard lines.

Enough rubbish.

I gotta say Im bored. Im not shocking myself, not scaring myself. I gotta get back to teeth and nails and blood honestly. This vanilla shit is just not working. Oh, I love the snow gum, but God, how dull is that pic? I want to do another wall, remember the wall?

I love the wall because of the QUOTES. Remember theres a bibliography(I wasnt gonna tell you where but...) IN THE HAND that tells you the texts and poems the quotes are from. I love this and I want to do another. Ive gotta break out into coloured pencils too....

This is a theme I rather like....You might remember the snake and the woman from a while ago, they were in miniture then. The last two are on acid free paper and you can see the difference, but man, does it smudge! Of course sometimes thats exactly what you want, I just find it frustrating.

Hopefully I'll get some progress done soon - another wall, and some colour. Colour confuses me though. It always ends badly. Except when Im painting - I can always let it dry and come back and layer it again.

Ive been keeping my hands busy in another way - playing Tomb Raider. O boy the T REX IS DEAD!!! WHOO HOO! I just jumped on and very casually killed him first go. Then ripped through the levels. Ive gotta check out a walkthrough - I use 'Stella's walkthroughs' on the net and I have for years, Stella always has all the details. I dont like to read it BEFORE I do the level - what a way to take the fun out! I go through, then read the walkthrough to pick up anything I missed, which, being a good Tomb Raider, isnt much. Im up to 'St Francis Folly' and the first game was a MASTERY of puzzle. Bloody levers and doors and Greek Gods and a towering, towering level where the greatest danger was putting a foot wrong. It looks like fun all over again.....I get GOOSEBUMPS watching the demo, Anniversary was such a good idea if anyones listening!

I have to admit something to you. On our 12th day of rain Im finally starting to get sick of it. I still get exhilerated by the drumming of it on the tin roof, I still get that cosy sound hearing roar and knowing Im safe within. But the washing machine wont dry out which means it wont work, I need to wash the sheets which wont dry as I have nowhere to hang them even if I could wash them, the horses feet are rotting and the MUD god, the mud! Walking 5 metres feels like 10kms as I fight not to slide down the hill!

Teshan is gracelessly scratching her ass on the tree out front. Feet splayed, mane and tail flying, jaw disorganised and tongue out waving her huge ass back and forth. I thought she was a lady of class?

BUT I have to fence today. We have and electric fence INSIDE the barbed wire fence that rings the house, and the back section of it that leads out the back is not covered. It means horses IN the houseyard cant touch it, but those OUTSIDE who are jealous of those within, begging for hay or just trying to eat the grass between the two fences, can lean their 600kgs of horsey weight on the barbed wire and push it over. And in wet weather....Well. Yesterday I noticed two pickets out and the top strand has snapped like elastic. Ive got some more posts I need to bang out, but I should really fence first....Goddammit! WHERE are my fucking tools? I used to have a 'fence fixing kit' which is kind of essential on property - just a bucket with hammer, pliars, spare wire and sissors, some electric tape and nails. But then kman needed the hammer, mum needed the pliars and FUCK knows where theyve ended up. I swear, heaven on Earth would simply mean we all decided the same place was the right place for all this equipment!

And then, once Ive pulled out pickets, put in new pickets, repaired and restrung the wire, I'll have to hunt down electric tape and pins so I can electrify that section so it doesnt happen again. You know, all these years I thought horses actually RESPECTED wire. Fuck, I dont know where I got that idea from - they bulldoze it! So I'll complete all of the above - probably with a 'horsey helper' stealing my tools all the way (Zayfir and magnus have been known to hurl the hammer or mallett) then I'll have to walk the whole property to make sure my line isnt snagged or touching - even a plant can interrupt the charge in the wrong place and hopefully turn it on to success......I dont even know if I have enough tape yet.

So, out I go.....Like a warrior. Hope this freezing wind keeps up for a few hours, its blowing the rain back to the mountains.....

With all this sketching and process work, you might have guessed that along with entertaining you, Im trying to educate you. Generally a ramble and an educational post would be in distinctly seperate columns, but today Im smooshing it all together.

The Good, The Bad.....But No ugly

April 9th 2008 00:50

Ive got that weird, fired up excitement that happens when Im going out. What frustrates me is it happens when Im doing nothing particularly exciting - Im just catching a train, going to the docs, and a little interview. Nothin special. Yet my guts are twisting like Im going into battle. Actually, no, if I was going into battle Id probably be more excited and less nervous. This is more like losing your virginity.

This sort of anxiety never assaults once Im actually working. I just get on a routine rail and continue. But when Im out of practise, only for a few weeks, it comes back

Inscriptions Of a Psycho...Part 2...

January 20th 2008 15:38

Now my mate and I talked about fears, and hopes, and dreams. We talked about the past, the future and all we could be in between. But, even though the ideas were there, I dont think they actually crystallized until I sat here, finger poised above the mouse button. Ready to delete chunks of blog, leave some thoughtless comment about modifying it

The Inscriptions of a Psycho

January 20th 2008 15:07

It is, really, what this blog should probably be called. Kalikapsychosis is not opposite to it, or contrast to it, at least.

Lily, you inspire me. You must know that. It feels very good, to have someone that always, somehow, shines the light in a different direction. When so many people point their torches in the dark, its hard to tell which way to go. Sometimes, you need a really creative person to know which way to point
