Tis not the final result.

Immaturity

2011-02-23T23:30:00.000-08:00

I have not been prioritizing.

Things are slowly slipping. What's important ends up last. But who's to say what should be important or not? Everyone has their own sets of worries, problems, tasks. I seem to have had none, until now.

Lately I've been questioning myself..
I'm always changing. I'm always learning. I'm always happy.
I know who I am. I know who I want to become.
My parents always described as the child who would "give my last penny, cookie, etc. for you": because I am that person.
I will always give, but who is willing to give back?

I'm confident with my morals and values.
I am very confident, indeed.
No more questioning, Victoria. No more.

Quote that made my day,
"If you're going to look back at it and laugh, why not laugh at it now?"

We had to pick an object that is overlooked.

I thought about how people keep saying that we never eat with our families anymore at the dinner table.

So, we have to take this object and repeat it 11 times.

My mind couldn't take it.
I needed another way.
I wanted it to go away.
And it did.
It just vanished.. along with the hours, minutes, seconds.
I couldn't feel, I was just there. And it felt good.

Fortune Cookies

I keep the special fortune cookies.
'THE EVENING WILL BRING ROMANCE'
In caps just like that.. One day when I'm older and have a band, that will be its name :p
and
'The entire sum of existence is being needed by just one other person'
I thoroughly enjoy that one.

But I always told someone this,
"Know the difference between friends and fans".
Oddly enough, I get a fortune cookie that states:
'A fanatic is one who can't change his mind, and won't change the subject'
Now you know what to look out for.

Why are we so obsessed with space research when we barely know the depths of our ocean floors? Did you know that scientists have researched only 6% of the ocean? That leaves 94% to be undiscovered! Who says that there can't be life underwater? It's impossible to live in space.. or is there life beyond us?

2010-08-24T19:59:00.000-07:00

This is an observational "self portrait". I had to draw myself in a reflective object that would distort my image. And on top of that I had to draw myself, drawing myself. Just take a second to read that again if you must.18"X8", colored pencil
Don't mind the crappy editing, I scanned it and "edited" it on Paint; unfortunately, I don't have photoshop. :/

Today was another day at BBAC, in which we had a female model today. She was very skinny and red-headed. Not that that matters but, just stating the obvious. These were my favorite 30 second gesture drawings we had to do of her. Strictly as warm-up.

After our warm-up we got started on a "new" medium: Water Color and/or Indian Ink. She have us large water color paper to work on, and mini cut outs about 6"X6" to practice before the larger one. So I was just gonna mess around with the indian ink. This took me 30 minutes max and it happens to be my favorite. I call it Rorschach's Wife

2010-08-22T19:44:00.000-07:00

On my second class at BBAC (8/19/10) we had to finish our nude model drawing. Thank gawd I did - but nothing is ever quite "good" enough in art. There's always something you can improve on.. which is crazy to even think about.

This is my SCANDAL piece. This kid in my class, Tyler Kazy, inspired us to do "scandal" week and since I'm way behind - I thought I shall. So, here it is. In Chalk Pastel.

Woodshop

2010-03-25T16:50:00.001-07:00

This is what I've been working on in Woodshop all year (so far)!
I, personally, love woodshop. But, the people around me tend to be in a "not-so-inspiring" mood so, most of the time I'm dilly-dallying around. BUT! After these two little projects, I want to do more more MORE!

The process: just took a basic 2 X 4 block of Pine and drew the basic shape of the spoon. I wanted to keep those little knots. They looked fancy - plus sometimes they increase the value on your object (if you are selling)

Then I drew the side view of the 2X4 piece of pine, cut it out with the Jig Saw. A lot of sanding was taken place for the handle - but the chiseling.. Oh boy.

I had to chisel out those little knots, and let me tell you, it was a pain in the butt! Making it smooth, or keeping it rough was an easy choice. Smooth. All the way. Sanded the inside of the spoon, or ladle, with 40 grit & worked my way up to 220. Then Va-La! Two layers of vegetable oil and it's all ready to cook stir some stew!

This piece of oak wood - difficult to sand. Made a beautiful, smooth pallet for my ugly sister. ^_^

Oh you, artists

2010-03-10T16:28:00.000-08:00

I’ve been really flustered with my artwork, lately. Mistake after mistake! I’m so concerned what other people think about, I forget what I want. Maybe it’s because I’ve been the harshest critic on myself, the amounts of art I’ve postponed to do. They add up! After one mistake, I put it down and everything else with that. One mistake leads to another. This is no excuse, but it’s tiring to be so harsh on myself!

My stupid baby piece, people have to make me feel bad: “Oh, I liked it before, why’d you do that?!”

Why do people have to be so pessimistic about it?

It could be out of curiosity, but after the 100^th time of the same question being asked, I just can’t take it anymore.

I just want to start everything over without questions about it. Change is good… “Obama”! The only thing that may suck is the materials put into it. Wah wahh.

My stupid paper decided to RIP!

Made me so angry!

Multiple art teachers suggested that I rip it all up and make it into a collage. So, I did - and now it's all ripped up into pieces.

Still deciding what to do with it all.

My deepest apology

2009-12-12T16:53:00.000-08:00

I cut out the ply wood (by hand), cleaned it off, placed layers of nice paper over it.. staple was being ridiculous. Anywho - this was for someone very special. All day people asked me what I was making.

And I replied,

"An apology card"

Their response, "Daaang - you must be sorry"

"You don't even know..."

I wish I had more time on it.. but, with the amounts of homework I had to finish before I left the house, this was the end result. Still made with love.

Banquet Hall

This is my sister's homework.. that I did. I'm actually very proud of it. Even though it is done on the old school Paint application it came out very swell. It's a basic layout for a banquet hall.

It was just one of those nights where your mind drifts off. First I couldn't stop thinking bout making mistakes over and over again. I just hate making the same ones constantly. A certain someone popped up in my head & I just wanted to rip that fucking piece of paper out.. I crumpled the next one. I should've chose a darker color in the background.. just a tad. But this whole picture came out a mistake after another.

I happen to like mistakes.

Well, sitting out in the garden.. when I just felt like drawing that purple flower. So, I plucked the petal, taped it onto my little sketchbook, & finished up drawing the rest of it with chalk pastel. Then I thought of how I was stuck at home all day -_- & the idea of being "fenced up" came to mind - added some brick texture in the background & yeah... out comes this lil' doodle.

Just being observant around the house & came along my p-nano's brand. I thought it looked pretty snazzy so I sketched it up, added colour, & va-la!
