Day 25

sigh. 5 more days.
comments are pretty cold lately, huh?
guess my work doesn't draw much to
people.

well, i guess probably the hype has gone
away?

but don't stop now, my friends!
the end is almost near.
spread the word!
please.

anyway, was researching on Philosopher's Stone.
found a few pretty brain-trigging websites.
do check these sites out if you feel like
knowing things that could just fuck yr brain up.
i'm feeling quite scared to even share it now.
visit at yr own risk!
www.godlikeproductions.com
www.truthcampaign.co.uk
www.tvnewslies.org

one advise to painters out there,
do not check out other people's artwork
if you are currently doin some artwork
movement like this. i feel a little
low-esteem after seeing some great work
out there. i feel all mine are crappy.
ugly. Amateur. wannabe.

i mean, look at this:



pretty good huh? nope, its not mine.
i wish it was.
its the album cover of Mogwai's latest
album, Mr Beast.
simple technique.
hardly any renderings.
is the composition, man.
and i feel my composition sucks.

it really could bring down yr work's
quality afterawhile feelin like this.
the oomph is lessen somehow.

after struggling for hours and hours,
layers after layers,
i'm able to come up with these:





hope its not too crappy for you all.

anyway, for today's song i dedicate
it to a friend who thinks he had
angels helping him yesterday.
its not important if he was right
or wrong. what's important is
that all of us should always have,
believe and faith.
and also an optimistic mind
towards whatever crisis befalls on us.

try atleast.

anyway, wanted to share this
song for awhile now but couldn't
find the perfect time.

guess, now is.

A Song For The Angels
by Great Lake Swimmers
Taken from the Album Bodies & Minds
(highly recommended spiritual album)

The echo to your yell
the ripple to your dive
the currents under your wave

electricity
flows through me
i send it out to you
we were charged
with the founding poles
of a million years
a million years
before us
have trembled in their fears

never saw you never heard you
but i knew that you where there
everywhere
i could feel you all around me

i know that i am just a grain of sand
meeting water at the land
we could make our castles here
and sweep them all away

i know that i am just a drop of water
frozen into ice on the stormy earth
who gave us birth
over and over in cycles
lovely cycles

never saw you never heard you
but i knew that you were there
everywhere
i could feel you all around me

never saw you never heard you
but i knew that you were there
everywhere
i could feel you all around me



till then.

I don't know about anyone else lookin here
but I like your 2 fighting pics better than mogwai's cover
mog's art is slick, but...

well, cynicism is good, but without flip side is boring
too judgemental

day 22 I think - black & white flags
wonderment
- cynical wonderment -
is more open than judgement

what difference between black & white?
a universal question...

I think sometimes dissatisfaction with your work is important. How else will you improve your work if you think it's already perfect, or good enough? I think we should all strive to become better at what we want to do :)
