And here, as promised, some of my photos from the Desert Botanical Garden!
Monthly Archives: September 2003
So today, in the interests of pursuing something in the whole cactus fairy notion, I went to the Desert Botanical Garden. I wish to violate the dominant theme of LJness in general, and state categorically that I love my life. Even if I never make more than is required to keep body and soul together, […]
Today James and I drove up to Scottsdale to visit some art galleries, on the principle that hey, we’re local, I’m doing more originals, maybe we should see what’s out there, what’s selling, etc. It took about two hours before our brains became thoroughly saturated, and the last place had an attendant that went after […]
More or less on a whim, I picked up the Baldur’s Gate II Collection yesterday–I couldn’t remember if I’d played it or not. Starting up, the first room was familiar, and nothing afterwards, leading me to believe that I must’ve abandoned it very quickly. But it’s all good, because this is exactly the sort of […]
The back of my brain is really working overtime on some kind of art thing, and I wish it’d cue the rest of me in, because it’s starting to get a little tiring. For the past coupla days, I’ve been sort’ve slapping paint around on a canvas, fooling with color and textures, and generally producing […]
Deep in the night, James woke me up to say “R.” I said “What?” “R!” This was not a piratical “ARRR!” or even a sea lion-ish “AWR!” This sounded like someone asked what letter came after Q. “Huhngh?” “It’s talk like a pirate day! R!” “That’s the worst pirate I’ve ever heard.” “Avast, me havarti!” […]
Found this tidbit at : Amateur art inspires me, because the person is trying their -hardest- to be noticed, whereas a professional produces masses of high-quality work with very little effort at all. My reply was fairly scathing and involved crack smoking, but I feel obligated to mention, just in case anyone out there is […]
Pretty much on a whim, I figured I’d post an example of what one of my rough digital sketches looks like before I transfer it to canvas. This is my three-legged buddy, Money Frog. He’s supposed to bring in cash. Since I now have a number of people who owe me money for various projects, […]
“James, don’t step on the cat’s neck.” “I wasn’t! I was petting his throat..with my foot…uh…It was all on the up and up!” (he loves the cat, really.) I was chatting with my father t’other day, and found myself saying, at one point, “I think I was in middle school before I realized that it […]
Finally finished that damn dwarf painting that I was kicking around for a week or so… That Damn Dwarf Painting I like the bald dwarf, myself. I dunno why. I am reminded for no apparent reason of a moment in a Shadowrun campaign when, having finally won to the heart of the twisted magical ruins, […]
