February 2012

i got a laptop. The main reason is to write music but hopefully i will be able to get a tablet so i can start making concept art with Photoshop. which would be awesome because then i can create sad art of old desolate cities that look like they just went through a major zombie apocalypse.

and stuff like this

and this

maybe i'll do some warriors too.

But anyway right now i don't have a tablet... but i do have a keyboard so right now i'll just try to write some music.  getting my key board was fun.  i met andy after work at the max station and we went to guitar center...  a pretty awesome place.  so we hug out there for a bit messing with this and that... i decided i want a turn table.  which is sad cuz i don't even know how to use one... xP  but they look so cool. after guitar center we went to costco and got some hot dogs then to the church where we messed around with auto tune.  he recorded the singing part the the song he's writing (which sounds awesome by the way) and then back to guitar center cuz the mixer he got for his mic didn't have a chord.  after we went back there we when to carls jr.  the best fast food place in my opinion.  then back here to write some dubstep. oh yeah...  then we skated outside for a bit ate and he left.

painting abstract is so hard... :P  i was trying to paint like brian rutenberg...

unfortunately i realized i can't accomplish in one month what toke a genius 40 years to learn. :P  but i did learn a TON.  one thing i learned was that i was trying to control the paint....  instead of trying to guide it and make it do exactly what i want i decided to let it do it's own thing.  where ever my brush decided to go that's where it went.  my brush would make a stroke that would be it.  i wouldn't try to blend or smooth.  no strait edges no drawing shapes.  i realized it's best to get in and get out.  blop and that's it... nothing more... it's that simple.  XP  i also learned that a painting takes thousands of strokes to finish...  i was trying to come up with some kind of genius in the first five strokes.  which doesn't really work... after a month of trying to do abstract landscapes i ended up with one and turned out somewhat good.

anyway here it is... i was thinking about adding a wash then busting the contrast in the back and the vibrancy in a couple of the yellows...  id probably do the wash in blue... yeahh... i think blue.

when i was at guitar center i also got a chord that made it so i can plug my computer into my tv and use it as speakers which is super awesome... so yeah now i'm sitting in my room listening to some dupstep and bein' happy...  ok that's all for now... i'll probably post again in like a month or something...
