dylsexia	1:32a	Funky Little Christmas Tree This is our Christmas tree. My parent's Christmas tree that is. You see, my parents work an incredible amount. They're away from home 6 months of the year. They generally arrive back in Toronto on the 22nd of December and leave early January to return sometime at the end of February. And my sister started decorating this tree when we found out that it really sucks going out, getting a tree, decorating it, watering it, and having the parentals home long enough to admire it in passing only to throw it out shortly thereafter. And I'm not the biggest fan of Christmas, so I was always piss poor at wanting to do much of anything to help out. So, as always, laziness bred creativity. My sister took this ugly excuse for a decorative tree and made it look overall pretty awesome. The tree at my parent's place has been variations of the same thing since. One year we had 6 traditional trees. One year we had 3. But since I was 16 this has honestly been our Christmas tree. Happy non-denominational holiday season. E. (Comment on this)

dylsexia	2:07a	Dinner. Frog. Brandy. Placebo. I made a legitimate meal for the first time in a while. It was delicious. And a sneak peak at a drawing that I am doing on a piece of hardboard with the hope that I will get around to painting it soon. This one will be quite the toughie, honestly. It's small and therefore I'll have to be a lot tighter with it than I have been with some of the paintings that I've done. Unfortunately the painting I'm doing of Billie Black isn't coming along at all... I haven't touched it in weeks. So I've put it on hiatus until I can figure out how to make it work. Maybe I'm getting older, but I'm actually legitimately enjoying the taste of whiskey and brandy recently. It still makes me cough before I drink it.. but brandy has a nice spiciness to it that I truly enjoy. I was watching a trailer for an upcoming film, I think it was Daybreakers, and near the end they played a song. It took me a second but I knew I had heard it before, or at least I knew who the singer was; Placebo. I haven't listened to Placebo since I was just getting out of high school. But it made me wonder if I could still listen to the music that I listened to however many moons ago, and I've been listening to Placebo since. I'm in nostalgia mode. I wonder if I've matured at all. I honestly don't think I have. I've gotten older and learned to control my emotions better, but I think I've only really learned how to deal with myself better. I think, in order to mature, you really need to collide with people. And I'm far too cerebral 99% of the time to have much of anything to do with anyone. I wish you all the best, E.

happymrlocust	11:54p	69 Love Songs - I Don't Believe In The Sun In an effort to, you know, draw more comics and stop whining about wanting to draw more comics... I drew a comic. For a blog run by one Julia Scheele entitled How Fucking Romantic - 69 Love Songs, Illustrated no less. The concept is beautiful in it's simplicity, choose a song from The Magnetic Fields' 1999 album 69 Love Songs, and draw it as a comic. There's some really beautiful work on there already, so it's very exciting to be alongside them. I chose "I Don't Believe In The Sun", and I'm not really sure why. ( +5 more ) I have another in the pipeline, because drawing comics is actually addictive. Now, back to scanning Bunny pages. (6 Comments |Comment on this)

dylsexia	2:10a	Dr. Sketchy's I went to Dr. Sketchy's tonight. I actually did a drawing that I mostly liked. It was originally a five minute sketch, but I spent an extra hour cleaning it up and coloring it. Col-erase, ink and colored pencil in my brown paper sketchbook. I really want to get back into doing serious life drawing at least once per week. It would be nice if I had someone that lived near me that I could sit and draw while they watched tv, or read a book. Half the reason I'd like to have a girlfriend would simply be to have a pretty girl on hand that could model for photography, drawing and painting. Is that pathetic? (7 Comments |Comment on this)
