I haven't really posted much lately and I don't know if I will anytime soon. I want to wait until things start looking up again and I can post something cheery. I don't know when that will be- a few weeks, or maybe months. Hopefully I'll be back soon with some good news and a smile. 
Until then.

 Hey livejournal just a quick entry today
- a friend of mine is one of the founders of Future Women of Appalachia, a group dedicated to helping out women in Appalachian Ohio, and the group needs help. See, they're in the running for Pepsi's Refresh Everything 5k grant, and the top 10 ideas get the grant. The FWA is in 33rd right now and every day ( Read more... )

I found this today and think that it's especially haunting and beautiful. Most other versions are in higher keys and sung by actual opera singers, but I prefer this lower version. It just appeals to me more. It's the most famous song from the opera 'Dido and Aeneas'. Aeneas is a hero who escaped the sacking of Troy and Dido is Queen of Carthage ( Read more... )

 no exam today, but 2 more to go. I'm disappointed that I was unable to finish my final painting before turning it in, but I did manage to finish enough to illustrate the gaudy v. subtle theme. The professor seemed to really like what I had managed and wants me to e-mail him a picture when I do finish. I think he still can't believe I'm not an art ( Read more... )

 I'm really getting anxious to finish up the quarter and head home for spring break in mid-March.  I need to start searching for a new summer job or I'll get stuck working security again.  And that is the very last thing I want to do.  My younger brother actually asked when I'd be coming home so I need to make sure he's okay and family drama isn't ( Read more... )

 So I didn't sleep at all last night- didn't even try.  I spent the entire night drawing in photoshop because I had been struck with inspiration. After pausing to attend class, eat breakfast, and grab a quick nap, I'm pretty pleased with how this drawing is coming.  It's a well known myth, everyone knows it- The Rape of Persephone,
or,
Hades ( Read more... )

 I didn't get any work done on any wip's or really any serious art.  I was preoccupied with this monster Rape of the Lock essay for one, and also I was busy researching Greek myth.  Not that I wasn't already doing that in my Mythology class but I've decided to draw all of the olympians (and other important gods) in my own style. 
 So I've been ( Read more... )

 So last night at about 2:30 I got this idea for a comic for my younger brother.  It had to do with a silly family joke but I made the stupid thing anyways.  Because I really wanted to draw batman fighting a dinosaur.  You don't need to understand what they were talking about, just know that yes, it is.

 Okay, a lull in the rigorous midterm schedule! I only have art projects to finish and greek myths to study for tomorrow and that's fun.  Recently I came across an argument online over american vs british literature.  Honestly I've never really noticed a difference.  Not really- although I have to admit that lately I am rather obsessed with British ( Read more... )
