Art has been happening in a very major way. Unfortunately, since I moved again, I have misplaced my USB cord.

Delays

2009-02-03T12:36:00.002-05:00

My flight was delayed for a day due to the weather in London. So I figured I'd leave you all with a painting I did of myself in early 2007, I think (I may have posted this already... can't remember!) Wish me safe travels!

Stand Still

2009-01-13T11:59:00.004-05:00

So this is where I'm at. My father suggested I put stars above the clouds and I decided to turn the sun into the moon instead. We'll see where it goes I suppose, I'm as clueless as I imagine you all are.
And a drawing of myself I did this morning-maybe 15-20 mins of work.

More Photoshop Stuff For Now

2009-01-12T18:54:00.006-05:00

We are the music-makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams;
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems.

With wonderful deathless ditties
We build up the world's great cities,
And out of a fabulous story
We fashion an empire's glory:
One man with a dream, at pleasure,
Shall go forth and conquer a crown;
And three with a new song's measure
Can trample an empire down.

We, in the ages lying
In the buried past of the earth,
Built Nineveh with our sighing,
And Babel itself with our mirth;
And o'erthrew them with prophesying
To the old of the new world's worth;
For each age is a dream that is dying,
Or one that is coming to birth.
-Arthur O'Shaughnessy

A Poem by Jarett Anderson

2009-01-08T19:02:00.006-05:00

Jarett Anderson wrote a poem he says my Sunshine painting (below) inspired him to write:

Sunshine

I'd love to express, what she means to me

Every day she rises, embracing eyes to see

Warmly lighting life, expanding all perceived

Existing in her debt, every breath a living being

I feel her and accept, every step I'm given feeling

Her radiance so alluring, we wake to watch her turning

Solar Systems ever burning, reaching for our journey

Sunshine

She rises

Lightheaded in her rays, breathing in her dream steadily

Counting blessings to the pulse of her moving melody

Spinning worlds enchanted with her celestial beauty

She rises

Sunshine

-Jarett Anderson-one of my favorite poets of the 21st century

It's too bad I can't match his talent with paint but I suppose some of our inspirations come in strange forms.

This is probably all I'll have for today, unless some magic inspiration whacks me in the forehead.

Okay so this will be a process. I started painting something but have not finished it. Perhaps I'll show you how it progresses through each post.
Let me know what you think! I'm not sure where I'm going with it so if you've got any suggestions-I'd love to read them.... not that anyone reads this blog :-P

Beethoven

2008-11-29T09:37:00.003-05:00

Good morning, on July 7

Though still in bed, my thoughts go out to you, my Immortal Beloved, now and then joyfully, then sadly, waiting to learn whether or not fate will hear us - I can live only wholly with you or not at all - Yes, I am resolved to wander so long away from you until I can fly to your arms and say that I am really at home with you, and can send my soul enwrapped in you into the land of spirits - Yes, unhappily it must be so - You will be the more contained since you know my fidelity to you. No one else can ever possess my heart - never - never - Oh God, why must one be parted from one whom one so loves. And yet my life in V is now a wretched life - Your love makes me at once the happiest and the unhappiest of men - At my age I nedd a steady, quiet life - can that be so in our connection? My angel, I have just been told that the mailcoach goes every day - therefore I must close at once so that you may receive the letter at once - Be calm, only by a clam consideration of our existence can we achieve our purpose to live together - Be calm - love me - today - yesterday - what tearful longings for you - you - you - my life - my all - farewell. Oh continue to love me - never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved.
ever thine
ever mine
ever ours

Ludwig Van Beethoven 1827

Since I got pulled over by the fuzz today and got progressively more sick after visiting a dear friend in the hospital, I will not paint tonight. I refuse. So for your voyeuristic pleasure, here is another drawing I did about 3 years ago.

It's drawn in pencil and based off the photo below of Regina Spektor, one of my favorite singer/songwriters.

2008-11-23T11:37:00.002-05:00

I feel sick today and though it's still early I'm preparing to let myself down by posting something I painted over a year ago... maybe I'll paint something later.
