YOYOYOYUOY9OYOIU

I am so so so so s oooo excited for Painting V I could barf all over my friends and family!

I am ripping off this one girl's idea from my last painting class.
She painted all chili peppers in different artist styles.

And I am doing that too, but instead of peppers, cassette tapes
and using different artists, or, at least different reference points.

THATS JUST THE BEGINNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1


I am going to be doing portraits of music people I like

ON ON ON ON ON ON


CASSETTE TAPES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111

List of people I want to Paint

This list will be on-going,

And by on-going I mean I'll probably forget/stop caring.


These are people I want to paint next I think think think think

Walter Matthau
Louis Riel
John Belushi
Jay Reatard
The Cancer Man
Kathleen Hanna
Nick Cave
Ian McKellen

Obvious I can't paint all of these people, but I wannawanna!!

Hopefully this semester I can paint lots of pop-portraits and build my stinky portfolio -

for whatever reason.

FunfunFUN!(not, totally not)

Holla!

Do you know what I did!?

I told my teacher of paints, Chris that I would recreate 5 classic paintings:

Olympia
The Two Fridas
The Birth of Venus
Jane Avril Leaving the Moulin Rouge
Mona Lisa


But with a twist!!

Instead of painting the usual women in the paintings, I'll paint Kids in the Hall dressed like women!
And of course, of course, I said straight up I was gonna cut corners, but fuck!

Here's how:
The Two Fridas - The Two Chicken Ladies (Mark McKinney)
The Birth of Venus - The Birth of Kathy with a K (Bruce McCulloch)

I am not 100% on titles for the other ones yet, I've only just started the second one!
But the 2 Fridas is the like, center piece or whatever, and it's pretty much done!

Possible titles for the other three:

Olympia - Jocelyn (David Foley)
Mona Lisa - Queen Lisa (Scott Thompson)

But I really don't know about Kevin McDonald, Jane Avril matches him in body shape and facial expression, but I can't figure out which exact character to use :S :S

Maybe Jerry Sizzler?

FUCK DECEMBER IS GOING TO BE HERE IN LIKE A SECOND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FUCKshitshitshitfuck

I'VE HAD SINCE LIKE, THE THIRD WEEK OF SEPTEMBER!!

PAINTING II(complete(kind of))

I just hads my last day of Painting ii with Chris Friesen on Tuesday!
!!!
!
BUT
I still have one more assignment due tomorrow, an optical illusion like this:

It's easy enough to do, with masking tape and etc. but it's going to be super tedious, and it's already late

The last big project I had to do for this class was a 2x3 ft. painting was carte blanche
we could do whatever we wanted. 
SO
Being involved with radioradio AND being a Media and Communications student I chose to do something relatable to that.
The themes that I had to work with were: radio advertising, media studies, dystopia, vintage1950s, futuristic, post modernism.

It didn't look like an ad, or dystopian - - - there was a lot more I wanted to do with it, but I got too ambitious... but hey, it was super fun to do, except the lame oil part.

Then:
I finished thee UFO painting I posted foreever ago:

I love outerspace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PAINTINGII

I'm taking painting two with Chris

it's sweet

we've had to do lame colour chartsboring(ugghh)
a tri coloured image of our choosing(2x2) Kim Gordon/Kathleen Hanna - a few weeks(lazzzyyy)
an impressionist painting - replica or our own image(2x3) Mad Max II: The Road Warrior - a night and a day
a b+w greyscale smooth transition painting (1x1) A Spaceship! - a few hours - not done

So, I will now show you these paintings.

The grey one isn't done yet! Its gonna have hoops chillin'/coming out of the bottom so it
1) doesn't look so empty there
2) so it looks cool
and it's a little uneven so I'll fix that shit up too, I hope the teacher approves - he insinuated I was a slacker!
I'm actually surprised that one is almost done!  Its not due until the end of the month!

Sorry for never posting (JK)

I've had so many bullshit assignments and teachers yankin' on my balls that I haven't posted anything in 3 years!


First: I have hella homework  which is always expected and accepted
Second: My ENGL online Prof sucks everything imaginable... and I'm dropping outta thurrr
Third: My new job rules, despite being tedious and making my back hurt from sitting in a chair/having a large bossom
Fourth: We are going to Jason's Mom's for turkie lurkie - despite assignments I need to eat birds
Fifth: I am painting a still from the video for Bull In The Heather of Kim and Kathleen
Six: Most bands in Vancouver wish they were Black Lips or early British new wave (except Nu Sensae)
Seventh: Despite sounding like Black Lips I really like this band Demon's Claws, they are newer
Eighth: I got 19.5/20 on my first Sociology assignment and am kind of upset I didn't get 20
Ninth: Jason is too pretentious for Jay-Z and Beyonce, starting NOW
Tenth: My car was dead and now it's better (again) because my sweet Grandpa hit the battery with a wrench
Eleventh: I missed my last radio show due to devestating sneezesnot illness
Twelveth: All we ever do is watch Pawn Stars
Thirteenth: I'm still sad that Jay Reatard is dead.


More is happening but I don't care.
My shoes are taped together and I switched to Diet Coke
Great Value chocolate isn't as gross as you think
My underneath nails are dirty and I recently plucked my eyebrows after a month of them running rampant on my eyelids

News is news, but nothing is really new

Last Week Sucked

I had like a billion (2) assignments due!

One was a presentation in my Simpson's course.  It had to be 25-30 minutes long, I think mine was just under or just over 20.  But that wasn't the only way I came up short, I feel the presentation had lots of holes, and could have used more work.  Also, the PowerPoint sucked, and I didn't take my eyes off the paper the whole time.

But it's done with, and I don't care as long as I get like a B, which I probably/hopefully will!
So that's what I did on Wednes.

FRIDAY, I had to have a 3x3 foot painting of a celebrity of my choosing done.  I did Tony Parsons.  Being busy all week with the presentation for Darren's class, I had to hella rush on the painting. I started that Thursday afternoon (after my class) around 2, and finished (after a couple breaks) around 1:35 AM!
guuh!

It was a rough deal, so this weekend I'm "takin 'er easy" before getting balls deep into finishing the semester!

ALSO!  It's 7-11 day today, and I celebrated by going and getting 4 of those fucking tiny slurpees for Jason and me and having them spill all the fuck over my front-seat.
I continued this celebration by getting the trunk of my car to try to slam on my shoulder, and by having the passenger door slam on my leg because neither of these things stay open on their own!! 

Other than this all I've done this weekend is hang out with my pal, Grandma, and watch Kenny vs Spenny. 

LG!
