Writing

I have to write this essay about what artist would i spend with for an afternoon. I tried thinking of some that were in the fine arts area, but none of them really striked me as being someone i want to spend an afternoon with. So i thought up of people who i really get inspired by, Musicians. And of course i picked Thomas Alan Waits. But why not pick him. He's strange, corky, and a genius in a way (more than Kanye West). His music either points in the directions of hate or love in your brain, and fortunately I'm not pointing towards hate. His story's are clever and absolutely hilarious because you never know whats true and what isn't. And if it's not true, you'll believe it anyway. So if i had to pick an artist to spend an afternoon with it will be Tom Waits. But most likely i would just let him talk the whole time, while he's fooling around on the piano.

Listen to his stories "Tom Tales" and "Missing My Son" or "Big Joe and phantom 309"

Personal Thoughts

I've realized that i have ideas flowing through my head, but executing them in time seems to be difficult. So most likely i will be working on every single concentration piece until i need to have it absolutely done. I will work on them and keep on adding more frosting to the cake to a point where i can be at ease. I've recently been introduced to the artist Lucean Freud and i found his work to be very inspiring, which i find hard to come by for myself. how he paints his subjects letting the brush stroke guide your eyes to see what is being shaped and formed by the paint is something i find awesome. Right now i have six pieces being worked on and 4 more ideas that will be on canvas. So right now i don't feel like i'm going to have trouble making something up, but just completing it.

Winter Break with herpagonasyphilaids

This winterBreak i went to the south east in the city i like to call Del Boca Vista. I spent christmas week there with my grandparents (Nana & Pops) and my uncle and cousin. My family and i had momments like my grandma forgeting to turn off the car and is informed about this by the neighborhood security at 2 in the morning. Also watching Jerry Springer and Maury as a family. We actually might try to take a trip to conneticut and get on those shows. The Arts going fine, but i don't think i'll have the pieces at a complete finish tomorrow (monday).
