Renegade!!!

The weekend was fun and busy and tiring and a little backbreaking but I'm not going to complain* because it was still mostly fun. Unfortunately, in the midst of all the activity, I photo failed. But it's ok because I met a couple of sweethearts who photo succeeded here, here and even here. =)

*Woops. I totally complained.

Sweet, Sweet Lovin

Ooo wow...it's been a long time...yeeaaaahh. I've got nothin. No excuses at all.

So, let's just jump right back in.

You know how there are those relationship people? (I will love you for a long time and when we are over, I will find your replacement with a crazy lightening quickness.)

And then there are the serial daters? (You look pretty...until I turn my head and...LOOK! Someone prettier.)

And then there are the emotional jerks? (I like you. I am bored of you. I LOVE you. Nope, bored again.)

Well, I've always been a relationship girl. EXCEPT...for when it comes to my art. When it comes to my art, I am a completely fickle, whiny, overly dramatic, emotional jerk. I love it one day. The next, I don't even want to understand why I'm doing what I'm doing.

This week had been a bad one. I grew bored. And then I forced myself to try and make it work but that just made me more depressed and resentful. I just knew it was over. I had given it all I had and I just couldn't give anymore. What did it want from me!? Couldn't we still be friends?

And today. I love it again.

Too bad today is also a Friday (aka the day Lisa's brain decides to go on it's weekly vacation) and I probably won't get any work done. And when I start back up...I'll likely hate it again.

Are you ready for a montage?

Stupid Pikachu rabbit judges me.

Progress

Testing out new techniques. I think I like it.

Pants

Quote of the Day:

"If I'm gonna put on pants, I better be putting on pants for a reason. Nah mean?"*

What's Making Lisa Happy Today:

Trip to the farmer's market.

Impromptu date nights.

What's Pissing Lisa Off Today:

Paint colors. Historically accurate paint colors.

And I suppose pants.

Aaannd you can take the girl out of Alief but you can't take the Alief out of the girl.

Don't know where Alief is? Good. It's probably better that way.

Oracle

For the past few months, I've been surprised to find myself drawn to darker, spookier images and subject matters. And quite frankly, I like it.

While I still love my sweet, spritely, technicolored happy-go-lucky fairytales, I'm finding myself extremely intrigued by all things strange, mysterious and otherworldly. I suppose it was bound to happen.

I think this is what they call...growing up? Maturing? No, no. The art world has a much more pretentious word for it.

Evolving.

And while I recognize this new venture into occult tinged art might turn some away; I really hope it doesn't*. I really hope you enjoy and appreciate that just like you, I grow and change and so does my art.

And as the world turns...so do the days of our lives.

*And if it does...poop on you.**

**And once you've cleaned the poop off, please revisit me in July when I'll be debuting a new body of work that is...what I hope to be...beautiful and haunting all at the same time. See? I aim to please all! =D***

***No, I really do. It's a problem.****

****So are footnotes within footnotes.
