 lately i have had the urge to paint.

real paint on real canvas and stuff.

and to use words like gesso and underpainting.

i am conflicted by the douchey asshole in me that thinks they can paint

and the who gives a fuck awesome person in me that will do it anyway.


i know i have a little artist in me. (douche douche douche)

it's in the genes.

and..i have had some schooling on the subject..a wee bit.

but that just really doesn't matter.

i don't believe school necessarily makes you good at something

(unless we're talking medical school)

in fact i think a lot of the time it affects natural talent in a negative way.

(spoken like a true asshole)

 

so..

obviously

i am inspired by interior design.

 

the photos above, if you squint your eyes, LOOK like paintings.

it's the composition of the color and texture in them that i am inspired by.

not as easy as it may look to put together.

 

 

some examples of getting it right:

 

 

 

 

 

 

lot's of bloggers are turning into artists, some good...some...meeehhh..

 

what are your thoughts?

 

any artisty advice for me?

cheap paint sources?

 

i aim to share my art stuffs with you.

of course.

 

even if it sucks dick.

 

booger,



in general i am terrible at keeping secrets

 

this is mine.

michelle armas super painter painted this just for me.

 

i was going to wait until next week

when she delivers it to show it to you.

but i can't.

it's too awesome and it holds powers greater than my brain capacity for keeping secrets.

she asked me for inspiration and in short i said "lavender and yellow".

i got so much more than that.

she really is a genius at capturing YOU in her work.

 

i can't wait to hang it above my fireplace.  

pictures of that next week.

 

maybe the most awesome thing ever..

 if you have no idea who michelle armas is you have been living inside your butt.

she is an amazing artist who can paint real real good.

 

so when she emailed me today to tell me that she named this painting....

"jenny"

after yours truly....

 

i peed rainbows.

 

seriously, that is pretty badass.

 

thank you michelle.
