Not as productive as I'd like to be

  • Watching: Buffy season 1
I've not been as productive as I'd have liked to have been. It's not for lack of trying though.

BUT there is a silver lining to this cloud, I've started a photo blog, which can be seen here [link] It'll mostly random shots of my city, with random shots of other places when I travel :) There'll be a lot of stuff that ends up on the blog that wont be seen here. So, if you want to see photos of south east Queensland and read the ramblings of yours truely - [link] is the place to be.

Moving, unpacking and productivity

Thu Dec 17, 2009, 10:13 PM
  • Listening to: Shove - L7
  • Reading: 30 Days of night - book 5
  • Watching: Family Guy season 8
  • Playing: inFamous
  • Eating: bamboo biscuits (which are awesome)
  • Drinking: Pineapple and orange juice
Wow, a lot has happened in the last few weeks. The major thing is I have moved. Which sadly means all my artstuff is packed *pout* But I'm hoping to chew through a fair bit of my unpacking over the weekend. Which means I may actually do some drawing and painting. I can see the boxes my artstuff is in from here, but between here and there are numerous piles of books, boxes of action figures and bags of clothing. So paints and pencils will have to wait a bit lol.

I do have some projects planned, which I am hoping to start after xmas, so fingers crossed nothing major happens between here and there.

Woah

  • Eating: Chips (or as some folk call 'em, crisps)
  • Drinking: Pineapple and orange juice
After a bit of a nasty health scare, I've gotten my arse into gear and got back onto drawing the prehistoric critters, yay :)
These are probably my top 4 favourites at the moment




Also might try and get back into doing some starwars fanart, but I'm not making any promises there.

Sketchy Costumey Goodness

Righto, slowly getting back into costuming. Working on a movie accurate TankGirl costume.

Going to try and avoid setting myself big art projects because I never seem to finish them, will try to sketch more.

100 Ensō

  • Watching: The Running Man
Set myself a simple task of painting 100 Ensō .

Let us ask the almighty Wikipedia what the bloody hell Ensō means!
.....

Ensō (円相;) is a Japanese word meaning "circle" and a concept strongly associated with Zen. Ensō is one of the most common subjects of Japanese calligraphy even though it is a symbol and not a character. It symbolizes enlightenment, strength, elegance, the Universe, and the void; it can also symbolize the Japanese aesthetic itself. As an "expression of the moment" it is often considered a form of minimalist expressionist art. [link]
.....

So it is pretty much painting circles, well that's what I thought when I started, now it seems to mean more to me. I've done about 30 or so, and I plan on uploading a big picture of all of them, but I might post small group pictures or individual Ensō . It's an interesting project, minimal and immense at the same time. If it works - who knows, I may aim for doing 1000!
