call the art cops...garn's painting again....

so last night after dinner i felt somewhat inspired..no real reason but i felt like i should bring the canvas, i was painting before, down from upstairs and give it another go...there was and are already layers of acrylic paint on it as well and patches that have been sanded a few times as well...i have never professed to being an artist but decided a while ago that i needed to paint something. so i did. and it sucked. badly.
but last night i put it back up on the easel and broke out the paints and, this time, a large house paint brush...now it's a mix of acrylic and latex paints...i have no idea what it'll be in the end but i think i have decided where it's going...kind of...for now. when the network and i were in portland i picked up some old photos of people and have incorporated one of them into it...and i hate mixed media...
maybe i just got sick of seeing that canvas sitting against the wall every time i went upstairs..maybe it was the network telling me how she used to do art and wants to get back into it and show me her portfolio, or marcy e.mailing me yesterday and asking me to help her with a project she wants to do-which i am happy to help with...whatever the reason there is a canvas in my apartment that now looks a lot different than it did this time yesterday. the majority of you will never see it but that's ok...it won't be hanging in a high traffic area...
i made the blockhead dolls a couple of xmas' ago and have made my aluminum blocks with the writing on them but somehow it's not enough...marcy wants to make a book of sorts and i won't give anything away here as it's not my place to do so...but her doing that made me think of the book i started a few years ago and then abondoned due to a few factors...money was one of them-a big one, and shyness was the other...but really, why do i give a fuck!? so the book may rear it's ugly head. maybe it'll be next year's xmas present...
the aluminum chair andy helped me to design, thanks andy, may have to be built too just to get it out of my system...

ok...all systems go...
