For days she hung like a goddess untouched by time, untouchable to me, a memory of a blight and a time when hope seemed absolute,
The loss of the muse of my hearts passion hangs over me like a black plague, stilling my sight to see beyond what mine eyes see perceive to be,
Stalled by the image that would scream to me as being perfect I steady my brush to destroy my perfection,
There is hope and salvation beyond the drowning mans gasp, but to see the light, one must cast off anew,
Look beyond her image, see beyond the pain, destroy your idea of perfection and create anew, embrace the rage, pain and loss as is befitting for one such as you,
Nothing ever lasts, nothing ever begins, everything just is and accepting that brings forth the light.
they did not need to be in iraq
Thank you mr president, but they did not need to be in iraq, it was not your fault, but they did not need to be iraq, simple as, full stop.
Something To Conisder
Something to consider, In the U.S. there is a concerted effort by the christian religious right to exert it’s freedom of religion, therefore challenging the basis for most american freedoms. This argument is set in place by the nature of the first settlers being christians. The word here is “settlers” those who settled. This excludes those native to the land. The vatican, or the Pope, warns of this and the focus ofcourse is abortion, or as they would call it, the ending of life. Ignoring the Catholic churches history of the inquisition, the invasions, the expelsion of the jews, the persecution of the jews, the conversion by hook or crook of most of the world, it’s initial war on islam and the many lives that were extinguished for not believing, converting, the assumption of witch craft etc, and ignoring Americas occupation, slavery and capital punishment history, the church says no man has the right to end a life. Thankfully now this includes all man, not just those of caucasoid appearance (white). This basis is fundemantally flawed.
To State a freedom freedom of religion, the church must also acknowledge freewill or freedom to choose. A person chooses to remain a christian, catholic, baptist, pentecostal, anglican, Lutheran, etc such said person can also choose to convert to budism, hinduism, taoism, islam, or they may deny all religion therefore not beholden to the cannons of any faith. Religion imposed marriage “What God has joined, let no man set asunder” asknowledging that it’s easy to understand why alot of people cringe at the idea of homo vs hetero marriages, but I digress.
The point is the church or any faith cannot impose it’s weight on the way a country like america functions, because America, unlike England, Italy, India, Egypt does not have the same ties to religion as these aforementioned countries. (old country new country) The reason for the seperation of church and state is because once church starts interfering in the functionality of the country, then the country becomes vulnerable to the influence of other religions. With the raging war on terror and the xenophobic atmosphere within the world (minus Norway where they have to be scared of each other) What imagine if detriot was to vote overwhelmingly muslim, or jewish and be subject to the rules and prectices of that mayor, governor, senator, or congresman… I haven’t even touched on the wiccans, scientoligists or those who simply do not believe. Those who disagree with me will have to not that I once stated that within my lifetime I would see a white female president, a black female president long before I ever saw a black male president… Same words that were spoken by margret thatcher considering the possibility of seeing a female prime minister elected in her lifetime.
It would be a mistake to allow the church or any religion to have a voice in what human beings choose to do, because one thing that God gave man, that he didn’t give even his angels was the right to freewill. If the church intervenes, she leaves herself vulnerable to attack, a fight she will lose… it is inevitable because her rivals want the same thing as she does and we as people want the right to choose, not because we will choose to end life, but because we deserve that choice.
I have the right to choose, that is what freewill is, to strip that right from me means that the church does not acknowledge my right, If I was in Northern Ireland, Italy, or a country that forbids homosexuality or abortions (these 2 because most religions are squeemish about them) then I could understand, but when in Rome, do as the romans do. America is not Italy, England (even if they are more liberal about these things here) China (1 child rule till they face the problems in germany and singapore of a low population index). One must have the right to choose, and if the Anglicans can somehow get it together and be progressive… well they like to call themselves protestant…. but anyone that is christian but isn’t catholic is a protesting christian… the Orthordox does not count in this… I get the feeling that this has become a ramble.
America is a secular society, seperated from the influence of religion of all sorts, therefore the actions and laws of the people should reflect that and any act of religion imposed into law should not be allowed… this is not a call for scientology, or a crafty to make the bible story a science. It just means people should learn, and choose. In the catholic church, confirmation is when a person has reached a certain age to make a choice to be a catholic… though this normally happens before the child is even 16, so there isn’t much choice. but the idea is that we have to choose these paths… So therefore the church looking to protect it’s flock and congregation is fine, but imposing on the general public, a lot of whom do not ascribe to her rules, is wrong. It should not be allowed to happen.
What is another baby in the face of the millions of dead slaves, drowned soon to be slaves, burnt non believer, plundered islanders, burned witches etc… whatever the reasons those were lives, innocent or not… though I find it hard to imagine a 5 year old boy wasn’t innocent.
Every man and woman has the right to choose without anyone trying to take that right away from them.
tumblrbot asked: WHERE WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO VISIT ON YOUR PLANET?
The Australian Outback
Walk in the park
Acrylic on paper 18x20 (i think)
this isn’t even at the good part.
Lost piece of work never to be finished… that and a whole bunch of chalk drawings and half finished acrylic paintings… but alas they were disposable… but the ideas were sound.
But after the blog I reposted earlier, I’m feeling just fine.

Best part it what’s in quotations
Another Sartorialist inspired sketch. I always enjoy his photographs, he has such amazing taste; and speaking of good taste, this quote appeared on my dashboard today (via 70% EtOH, a great artist in her own right)…
“Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.” - Ira Glass

Startling discovery number 1
I have come to a simple realisation. I have an unquenchable urge to murder all post modern and most contextual contemporary artists… Even if they are dead already I just want to kill them again for making my artistic education seem soooooo pointless!
End Rant.
For an artist
I post little to no freaking artwork ever… but then I do have my deviantart with stuff from 100+ days ago… most of the time I just can’t be asked to be on the damn computer or doing anything productive… this is a whine rant isn’t it?
Well for your information (random person reading this who doesn’t really care) I have not done enough stuff (that was anticlimactic…) but stuff should be coming up soon… after these short messages!
BRUSH DAILY and HAVE SEX WEEKLY (over 16 in the UK, over 18 in the US… anywhere else, consult your anti molestation guide, cause pedophiles get killed in jail, and trust me sucker, they will catch you, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but they will catch you)
Untitled
Word smith devoured by the longings within ones soul to reach beyond this limited expansion.
Focusing my highlights to those blurs glimpsed while speeding through this stagnant crowd.
Forsaking happiness to embrace the unknown, while knowing no true joy can be had by a meaningless pursuit of the will’o’wisp.
Deluded to think there is more just over the looming horizon, when this dream seems like a nightmarish loop of and unending lull.
Can I, Will I, Should I attempt to hope for a shine of grace upon my brow, while others languish in the filth of inequity?
There can be no coincidence of the forces being pulled to this shifting parallel, where the avenue of choices are ever so fluid.
Alternate futures are being bled by the blending of the lines between the altered pasts to create an inevitable present of loss, sorrow, and death, usurping hope and a glimmer of peace to cast doubt on all things believed and unforeseen.
The levels are infinite, yet ever raised and rising to outstrip the heavens, leaving one with a sense of nothing.
Blind me to my stupidity while I outstretch my claws to the vanishing point that ceased to exist, imagining yet there are unknocked doors left to open.
Break down these barriers to flood the room with a sense of belonging, to find a place to call home, hence as others open arms beckoning me in with welcome; I shall still strive to have mine.
Feeling unfulfilled there is always more to reach for, even as one has it all. Will it ever be enough to satisfy my wanderlust?
With the desire I have to travel the shores and explore the soured emptiness of the world?
No, I will always want more.
Imagining my self as a wunderkind for whom all things revolve around. I am all and I am none.
Choose me and see the unending twilight of time suddenly explode into a million possibilities even as anger closes her grip upon your soul, know that there is always a way out. Jump to the top of the violent bearings and overcome the turbulence of the rising winds that aim to quash your potential.
There is always a way, find it and drag me through into a sunlit moon caressing me and softening me in her embrace, and even though darkness may fall, I will not struggle, I will not move, I will simply become a truer image of that which is seen within mine minds eye.
I shall cease to exist and in doing so become one whole within the sea of evergreen, the crescent that is my top to aspire to and as yet unreachable.
Where are you? I see you there, just there out from the corner of my shameless sight playing tricks with on me as Loki would, and in burning my carcase setting me free of me.
Can there be another way? Is there another way? I would not know, this is all that I know and I shall follow through to it’s endless climax.
WSA
I have images of a ulcers on my tongue I have pictures of a lot of crap and so now I am tired, exhausted and almost fully healed and I gotta get back on the grind for uni… I swear, it almost feel like I came here to suffer for more schooling…
I’d better be rich after this if not I’ll go back in time and beat the shit outta myself for choosing art.
