no i agree, creating for pleasure is always fun.... and is a great time passer...
anything done for money tends to sap the soul and any creativity... its the whole putting a time on creating... and therefor becomes a chore
but i am not complaining, i would rather make my living from something so dear to me than any other way... but like anything can just get... difficult at times
old books... you cant beat them... i managed to get a first printing of lawrence of arabia a little while back... was amazing... when i opened it up it was full of notes and letters by the first owner and had all his thoughts down the sides in pencil...
yeah the comics get a lot like that... you need to find some form of detachment to work at anything creative... a way of separating it from your personal work... which is one of the main reasons i'm taking up photographer
as all the work i do is some form of commercial illustration, any personal drawing work i do ends up getting mixed in with that and becomes a bit of a grey area and it just ends up choking the personal stuff... at least with the photography, i do nothing like that commercially, so i think i may be able to express myself more freely... which will be nice as i havent been able to do it for so long...
sadly i'm selling off all my books... off to see the world and have no plans on returning back here or settling any time soon, so i have no real need for them, and are only ties like any possessions which will hold me back to a degree...
books are my friends things anyway, he has thousands... literally thousand upon thousands of books...
he just has some amazing books... especially his original fairy tale and fable collection... those books are a true work of beauty...
anyway... im waffling... and i still have a whole bunch of men in tights to draw...
i guess i've never really planned a break up, so I've never known it was the last time until afterward
i had to go through all of that provincial resident crap when i moved to Alberta and then back, it's not fun. Luckily when I went to school, apparently the fact that my parents never left Ontario made me a resident, even though I was legally a resident of Alberta at that time. WEIRD.
Tedious admin? I'd feel right at home at your school. It's like University admin have to take an incompetency course, just to make sure nothing gets easy.
Let's kill them with stares of d00m. (no real killage, then we'll never graduate. Oh wait, we'll be in prison, we could do PHDs)
Mmmm pickled turnips! What method do you use? I have a pretty easy recipe that tastes like the ones you get at that middle eastern restaurant Amir. (The pink ones.)
That's almost the recipe that i use, without the peppercorns. Do you blanch them? You don't have to with mine. I tried blanching them once for a couple of minutes but they lost their crispness and were all soggy.
Yeah cutting those things up is a pain in the ass.
I agree completely. I was just checking out your favourite bands and l'm really impressed with your choices! Sisters of Mercy, Nightwish, Joy Division were impressive but Lacuna Coil? I almost fell out of my chair. Wow!
Old school Goth! Nice. If you haven't heard them might l suggest Fields of the Nephilim, Alien Sex Fiend and Christian Death. All great bands with the edge musically or lyrically you seem to like.
Thanks alot for the birthday wish. A fellow Alien Sex Fiend fan. Cool! I don't know about Montral but here in the Eastern Townships, l can count the people who have heard of him on one hand. I think l still have 'Who's Been Sleeping In My Brain?' on original vinyl somewhere.
