Hot today.

I had to go to the art store to get more stuff. I matted the last of my pieces for the Fence show, and I framed them too. I thought they looked pretty good as drawings, but they look better matted. And even better framed. I upped my price on the two big ones- the frames cost more and I put a lot...

I went to a party last night with some friends. From the street you wouldn't even know there was a party, but once you went in the door of the building there were flyers stuck to the wall leading us up two flights of stairs to the apartment. Great apartment. Huge crowd. You really had to push your way around. Just fucking packed. I brought...

I'm fascinated by the story of the Minotaur. Imagine that poor boy's life. Born with the head of a white bull, indirectly the creation of Poseidon and a madwoman. His "father" is disgusted with him, abomination that he is, and has a huge maze built to keep the child prisoner. They make a monster of him. They make him eat seven little boys and seven...

So my stuff for the Fence Show is due by June 18th. I get to put three pieces in, and they get gallery space for two weeks. I need to decide what to submit: drawings or photos? I'd rather put drawings in, so I've been trying to pick out three that aren't more or less identical. Eventually I broke down and decided to mat one...

Now playing: Black Rebel Motorcycle Club "Suddenly"

Illusions within illusions. Smoke and mirrors. Masks to hide behind. Talk.

I feel like I've spent a very long time building an very elaborate illusion, and if anyone were to put my work to the test it would hardly stand up.

Friday: up at 8am. Made it up to Saratoga on time, and I thought the interview went well. I really liked the place and was hoping I'd get to work there. Came home, got changed, went up to Oakwood Cemetery to take more photos. Sweat running down my face and dripping off my chin. See pics. Went out to the Fuze Box, which was...

I have spent the week drawing. Mostly. I've been working on faces. Trying to get what I draw to actually look like the person I'm drawing. And I've been getting much better at it. I don't know why it's so hard. I think there's so much personality in the face, that if you make any subtle changes, too many mistakes drawing the face, it ceases...

Things come full circle.

The woman got all kinds of horny, and Friday we had some more sex. Saturday was fucking incredible. Sex, I got to stand in the rain and thunder and lightning and I haven't done that in far too long, and then company, who stayed for dinner and a really fun game of asshole. After they left I got a strip show,...

I put some new stuff in my pics/drawings folder. I finished VALIS on Monday. I'm halfway through Poppy Z Brite's Liquor, which makes me smile while I read it. I got laid ONCE, and while I shouldn't feel cheated I do anyway.

But it's okay now, because I've got a new set from Kasara to watch over and over again. I've got pictures to burn...

Dull weekend. Everything about this past weekend should've been really great. But it was really dull.

So, enough with this bullshit. It's time to kick my ass and get in gear. Have to start drawing again. Have to finish reading VALIS. Have to get laid. A lot. Have to stop hoping and waiting for something to happen. Have to start making things happen. Have to...

I need to come out of my shell.
