i feel... like really happy right now.

this is the one you saw raquel... it has a robot... xD

i forgot that when i started this blog i actually wanted to post art. then i remembered... like a few seconds ago... so here's a painting i just painted...

it's not that impressive.  and a lot of people might not even call it art at all.  but i didn't even rly try to make it visually stunning.  actually i didn't try to make it anything... i just did it because i wanted to...  every time i make art i try to make it... u know... all this and that and stuff.  but this time i just painted whatever came to mind.  which is actually hard for me.  i've always tried to make each piece of art i do perfect.  not just like the lines all strait and smooth and stuff.  i mean as i painted i was continually questioning what i was doing worrying about ruining the painting. i don't do that when i have a reference of course just when i'm painting from my head.  most people have this thing against abstract art...  but then again most people are uptight.  anyway i think abstract takes a lot of skill.  it's not so much about ur ability to manipulate paint than so much to to be bold and fearless letting ur own creativity come out.  the only way you could understand it is if u tried it ur self.  if you've ever looked at abstract art and said that's not real art, try this...  bye a canvas take some paint and paint what ever comes to mind first.  let ur impulses guide u completely (that's not as easy as u think.)  then when ur done take a pic and post it to facebook clamming that you are an artist and that this is you expressing yourself through art.  try it... i dare u... O.O

this is after i did an effect to it... it actually looks kinda cool now.

bob's feeling a little lonely...  :P

i'm back.  and i've got more ranting to do.  isn't that great.  i bet you're pumped now.  anyway... there's something i wanna say about a lot of christians today.  i think that we are so afraid of anything worldly we are starting to look like prisses.  the bible tells us to separate our selves from the world.  but while we try to keep ourselves pure we've got to be careful of some of the bigger sins that can slip by while our heads are turned.  like judging people with a little dirt on their face.  i'm sorta a down to earth sorta person, but in my eyes it's better to let our selves get a little dirty and hold on to our ability to love others and accept them for the way they are.  really if you think about it, it's not our place to judge anybody.  and when i say judge i mean show any kind of unkindness or disapproval.  whether it's someone with a couple tattoos or someone living with his girl friend or someone gay.  God never appointed us the job of deciding whether someone is worthy of our love or not.  of course if they've directly insulted you in some way that's different.  XP  but even in some ways we've made God out to be someone who is too holy to tolerate looking at sin too long.  but that ruins one of the most amazing aspects of God.  the fact that he can look past our sin and see us and love us.  yes God hates sin, but only because it came along and ruined his amazing peoplez he created.  so yeah.  i've decided to really work on never making people feel rejected or uncool.  every bodys cool in my book :D  ...  btw, one thing cool about being an artist is that artists are more open minded to new things.

artists

i never know how to start posts.  for some reason i always feel like i'm tapping some stranger on the shoulder to tell them about some random thing that they probably don't wanna hear about... weird right? :P oh well... here goes...

hi there random person... wanna hear about a ton of random stuff i've been thinking about lately?  one thing I've been thinking about artist... and not artist.  and one thing i've discovered about artist is that they can see more in other peoples art than most people.  as i've done more and more art i've most definitely noticed a change in the way i see things.  my artistic eye as grown so much.  it's gone from a scrawny little pipsqueak to a muscular fiendDANGTHISSTUPIDHEADAKE!!!!!  ... and know what?  there's something this muscular fiend would like to say!  abstract art is cool.  a lot of modern art is cool.  there is a lot of it that's just pretty dum... but not all of it.

  

here's a piece i found on etsy that i really like.  if the artist of this sees this post i really hope you don't mind me copying your art to my blog.  so you could say it's boring.  or that a three year old could have done it.  or that something so simple couldn't be considered real art.  after all there's only three colors and there's no complexity to the composition.  but you probably didn't say those things... because your not stupid like that.  first of all, complexity is over rated. there's a certain beauty in simplicity that so many people fail to see.

and second this is how it would look it a three year old had done it. of course the lines wouldn't have been so strait.  but i think you get the point. like the fact that a three year old would not have known that by adding texture you give the eye something to look at and work on so it doesn't just get bored of it right away.  actually a three year old wouldn't even know how and what to add.  a three year old also wouldn't realize that by adding black around the purple and bottom half of the painting  you make the the colors look more bright and intense without making them so intense that they fight with each other and set if all off balance.  another way the artist kept that balance was by making the blue section the largest and by taking some of the blue and carrying it to the top around the yellow.  doing that made blue the primary color of the painting.  now the blue and the yellow don't have to fight for first place.  there's also a little bit of purple in the blue... XP also the brightest part of the yellow is in the center and it fades out toward the edges.  this give the painting a center point... something that draws you eye. without that there's no depth and your eye doesn't know what to do with it's self.  in the three year old example i gave your eye it gets lost in a flat overstimulating plane of color. the the last thing i wanna say about it is that if you look closely there aren't really just three colors.  the blue that's above is  slightly more green and a little bit brighter than the blue bellow. and the blue bellow has like three different shades in it.  you can see a darker blue dripping down from the purple and as it reaches the bottom it grays down a bit.  and if you look closely there's even a bit of red in the purple here and there.  so if you look from the piece above to the piece bellow you can see that there's a lot more emotion and depth and other good stuff like that in the one above.

i'll probably post on artist and not artist and stuff later.  but i'm tired. so... until then... bye.

im posting bob on a tumblr account i made now.  jus cuz it's easier to put the app on my phone and upload them from there. so here's the account.  http://thefatb0b.tumblr.com/

this has gotta be one of the best animes out there.  especially the second season.  it's kinda slow, but i like that about it.  it's more of a relaxed thoughtful show than a suspenseful nail biting show.  you'd  have to watch the show to know what i mean... and finish it.

hey look i actually posted! and i even gave it a title!

i haven't been posting as much lately because  i can't scan anything.  but as soon as i can, i can assure  you there will be more bob and anime coming.  is it just me or did that sentence feel kinda awkward...  awkward is a word that is best said long and drawn out....  "that was aaaaawwwwwkwaaaaaaaarrrrrrrdddd."   ...  any way here's a couple stuff things i painted...

I'm not really sure what this is supposed to be...  i guess it's sort of abstract.  i didn't really start with any kind of idea in mind. i just threw paint at it and it morphed it's self into a creation of it's own design.  O.O  yikes...

i decided that part of it looked kinda like a guy.  so i put a face on it...  he's a happy fellow.

i do know what this is.  it's a tree... not a mushroom...  :P  the inside of the tree is actually a painting that i painted over... except for the tree part of course... duh...

she has no face...  O.O  it's really hard to do detail with paint.

i'm feeling happy right now... can u tell
