Sorry, folks! I’ve been tearing away at my Summer homework. I’m taking AP English as a Senior in high school, and I have to be ready! hee hee. The book that is currently bogging me down is Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison. It’s a generally good book, except it drives me crazy. Ellison writes in accordance to exotic emotions and portrays them too well for me… I’m an extremely cognitive person, so much so that the very mention of a heart puzzles me because I don’t use it except to love my other half. Yes, I get angry and sad [mostly sad xD], but I rarely feel them in my heart, and it’s never that nauseating feeling in my chest. It’s more like an awareness that I have blood coursing through my body. So… when Ellison describes emotions in an exotic sense, I become very bemused.
And… I’m quite tired of African American pre/post/Civil War stories. Coming from the North, we had to read maybe one or two throughout our entire high school occupancy. However, upon moving down to North Carolina, I find myself being told to read several throughout the Semester, and to be perfectly honest with you, I’m getting extremely bereft of interesting literature from which I can learn.
But anywho.
I have a new printer! I’m thinking of doing that Face Your Pockets thing again: Face Your Pockets, which I did in Pennsylvania about a year ago. I’m thinking of making it an annual thing… maybe every New Years, or my birthday type thing. Something to say–HEY, I survived another year! I will be using an HP printer scanner copier [psc]. It’s really niiiiiccce… I’m completely satisfied with it! If I can get some photo paper, I can probably sell prints after some time, as well as getting a paypal account etc.
Hee hee, but first thing’s first. Summer homework, Face Your Pockets, and then more art.
In the mean time, I’m working on this! 25 Essential Emotions I’m using Tempre… She’s so much fun to draw!! Speaking of which, I never finished this one, buuuuuuut, I’ll let you see it anyway!
I don’t think I’ll be finishing it… I was working on the wood the other day, and I ended up just putting my stylus down for the simple fact that I couldn’t figure out how to do it T_T I’ll have to have someone show me how to configure the bark on a tree digitally. I can do it just fine traditionally, but on photoshop…? HA.
Anywho, there’s your update xD I’ll scan something asap =]
Ta ta!
