About me: I'm a currently a eightteen year-old loser teenager out of high school. So loser, in fact, that I can remember the exact number of wrong number calls I've received. I really suck at writing about myself, so here's boring stuff about my art.
About my art: I don't really limit myself to any one medium; I love doing everything. And I don't mostly just do one thing. I've done a lot with writing and graphite, just because those are the two that have always been available. I didn't really start writing until 2001 and I didn't really start drawing with graphite until 2005 about January. In the last summer of 2004 I started seriously picking up photography, as I got my first camera in June of that year. I guess I've been fooling around with photo manipulating since 2001, but I never really did a whole picture until 2004. During the second half of 2005 I picked up watercolors and I started painting. I also started a ceramics course in school that I really suck in. So far in 2006 I've worked a little with acrylics (though I haven't been able to produce anything yet) and I've started carving soap. So you can't really call me a painter or photographer. I like to do a bit of everything.
I have new brushes, a couple sheets of canvas-style paper, brown acrylic paint (accompanied with a deeply [and deepening] founded hatred for all paints non-watercolor), and a set of neon fabric markers.
I'm trying so hard with those acrylics, but every time I work with them I just end up watering them down to watercolors. It's pointless. Besides, who wants a watercolor painting on canvas?
I really like the solidness of acrylics and the (to me) theory that you can correct mistakes with them, but when it comes down to I just can't do it. So what did I do? Buy more, of course!
Also, the other day my friend introduced me to Book Crossing (www.BookCrossing.com). The basic idea of the website is to find new books that are an awesome read.
After registering your books with Book Crossing, they are left in the "wild" (also known as the public...perhaps a store near you or a school, local cafes would be good) and found by other people. People read a note attached to the book that contains your book's tracking number and a bit about what Book Crossing is, and come onto the website, type in the book's ID to 'track' where the book has travelled. After they're done reading they leave the book for another person, and so continues the chain.
The whole concept is pretty amazing to me; I've always wanted to do something like this. I figured that a lot of you would be interested as well.
Most of the animals you see aren't mine; only the black lab Abner was. All the other Goldens, Labs, and Shepards in my gallery are being raised by members in my local Seeing Eye puppy club. The horses were a random pasture from my school. The cat is my mother's. But I do love animals and photographing them. Thanks.
The difference between 'involvement' and 'commitment' is like an eggs-and-ham breakfast: the chicken was 'involved' - the pig was 'committed'.
If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is "Probably because of something you did."
