Dear all
on account of my blog being labeled as an "art site" on the family blog community's gallery next to my work, I have decided to make things more professional looking by putting up a list of links to my pieces. this way you don't have to go swimming through all my nonsensical posts searching for that one particular piece, but now you can access it simply and effectively via the links to your left<- savy?
the cgs are up first in chronological order as to when they were finished. the traditional media pics will follow as soon as I can get our good friend imageshack to host them for me. I probably, might as well, put up one for the challenge too, but time will tell
cheers

quitting...
I have decided to delete my deviant account....
(akward silence)
It wasn't going anywhere... and when I seriously thought about it I realised that that wasn't the way I wanted my life to go... it was an inroad for compromise into my life and I knew it. Every time I went on I felt it sapping at my convictions, and my strength to resist was wearing away fast... finally I gave in... I submitted my closure request and never looked back...
I will still continue with the challenge... though I'll have to completly rebuild the links here... still I feel it a worth while choice...
heres to the future

lethargic lullabies
here's some lethargic lines I came up with at nine PM some night
to be sung in a sing song drawl wilst weaving bed sheets around your prey...
Sheets
Take your time
to setlle down
Loose your voice
as in silence you drown
Guilt aside
just lie around
Make no noise
and forget your sound

we went to gatti waste today with my half brothers... I humiliated myself on the stomping machine... I'M... OUT... OF... PRACTISE... (s if there was such a thing that one could be in) pummeled my brother at air hocky, after subjecting my right hand to a bizzarre massage on the adams family generator(BRRRRRRRRRZZZZZZZZZ), or wait... was that before or after I had a bite taken out of my fish on the "feeding" ticket frenzy machine I can't quite remember... it was all I blurr mostly, anyway I did a grand barrage of other things that I'm way to tired to remember or write down...
it amazes me
how spiritually dull

poetry attack!!!
I don't really consider myself a poet but then there are those times when somerandom inspiration will grip me and I can't keep from rhyming... of course this is poetry not songwriting... for some reason that gift hasn't been very co-oporrative, anyway with out any further ado I give you three of my poems I have written...
this first one was written sometime back when I still was fanatical about the craft
Troubled Waters
Singing to an audience
That's just not there
Couldn't care less
This silence
Too hard to bare
Endlessly crashing ambience
Layers piling up
Apon my skin
Of bells struck
I've had to much
Of this light too dim
Fearlessly passionate touch
Something feirce
Is in the air
A fire within my tears
My greatest fears
Of this dare
Toyingly haunting mirrors
Days of Nights
"I will not love!" shouts I,
Spreading wings in the wind
"For nothing can I find
in my humanity to give"
Amnesty to live
Death taunting grin
graces my face
I can no longer waste
my tears
so dear
as to be my only dream to shed
But, Oh! the dread
of endless days
Of sleepless nights
Without the sight
of your face
Oh how I pray there will come a day
when I can touch
It aches so much
And nothing can I do
to soothe
The pain
of these joyless days
Of dreamless nights
Without the sight
Of you
a little free verse, anyone?
Evanescent
GO, find your light
Bring what you have within
and it will be your guide
Every night you scream
your tainted soul
This insanity within you
furrowing upwards to find
Nothing to bring
To give
to the sorrow that thrives
Within your breast
Where is this peace that you long to hold
Hesitant to see it
in your own eyes
Silence reigns
Although your screams explode
And everything comes
back to your pain
There is freedom
Now your own song
and yeild to the light
Before...
enjoy!

5. Seeking Solace-finished
6. break away-finished
8. innocence-finished but unscanned
10. breathe again 60% finished

I finished another cg...
no limits!
inspired by the song(whadya know) "no limits" by steven mcnair
I quite like how this one came out as it was my first experiment at painting clouds in ps and I was kinda unsure as to how it would turn out...but I like the final impressionistic (orange ice cream WOOOT!)effect they have and I think I'll do all my clouds like this from now on...
the studs (yes those are what those little grayish things on his belt and too-low-contrast armband are) were done with a brush I created but came out different then I intended them to...
akward lens flare moment...
lineart in pencil... inking with pilot rollerball(fine) and colors in photo shop

what happened how and why...
okay originally I had the idea of telling why I got that punishment on the first place through an eight page long short story of the events as I remember them(in the first person of course) but then again I realized that it would probably take me next to forever to finally persuade myself to type it up, but I just might do it anyway and post it for you to see...for no apparent reason....but yeah!
ANYWays...
well to make a very long story short, on the 13th of september I "crashed" my computer by downloading a virus which I thought was a patch for a computer game I wasn't even supposed to be playing. as a result I had a punishment of one months absense from any sort of computer usage... I'm serious not just online, but reading, writing, and yes shocking as it may seem art(of course that would be my cg I have been plenty busy with my other "genres"). about the only thing I could do was my school and put on music. aside from that the computer was completely off limits...I griped and groaned about it even tried to get around it by still playing the game... but, then I figured that if I kept going on like this I would get nowhere and still be unable to get the lessons strait, so finally I just buckled down and did it... that was a month ago... it was hard let me tell you that much... I even had it suspended a week twice(although the second one I was semi-expecting as it was on friday thirteenth*shrugs*)... but for all the times I was tempted I just told myself that I had brought this apon myself, there was no turning back, and the reponsible thing to do was to get it over with and learn from it for the experience that it was... but, then again it wasn't so bad it gave me a chance to step back from everything, see the big picture, and get a fresh perspective...

I'm baaack
so, where have I been?
oh nowhere dramatic except for the fact that since wendesday the 13th of september my computer use has been limited strictly to schoolwork and the "putting on" of music.
needless to, I can't say I didn't enjoythe period in a strange sort of way. for one it gave me time to back away from things and take a good look at what I was doing with my time. and for another I found I had all sorts of time for things that before I had hardly any to do as a result of my time glued to the screen. although I did miss the hours apon hours of mindless surfing, during the time, not to mention I had left my relations with Nats hanging on a line(quite literrally as she asked me"the Question" that very day) and my creativity was cramped by the fact that I couldn't even cg (not that it would of mattered as my hardrive got wiped a couple of days later as a result of my actions.[don't worry it was backed up] yes my hardrive, on the computer that originally had no internet access and [still does poorly now that it has] was commandeered by my brother to be used as the home pc... now it's a dinosaur!) and now I'm as disoriented as ever. but despite all that I think I'm all the better for it. at first I was really miffed about it all, but then something clicked and I just bit the bullet and now I don't know why but I'd do it again...
shortly shall you hear oh why I had this time of drear :D

The Challenge!
I promised myself I would never do anything like this before, but whaddaya kno I broke down and took z challenge... that is the hundred theme challenge going around Deviantart of which I am a somewhat shameful member of :D...I still haven't read the complete list yet but at least I have something to kill spare time between my work, and why not... after all the best way to improve a skill is to practise it whenever you get the chance and you never know... I might weave some of these things into my book and other projects... the only problem is I have a dificult time sticking to one theme in a piece but a well

| art art art art art art art art... ART!!! here are the links to my "latest" cgs The cover to the glorious nathalie's album:My Pledge was worked on while I was finishing the first in a series of pics of The Elements which I started with (for no apparant reason) FIRE!!! the other ones are still up and coming I only have the lineart in pencil for earth but I will ink it in and start coloring it (in the same style as the former one, mind you) after I finish with an overly extensive peice that's been driving me crazy for the past month or so... which I may or may not submit to the Xn two new projects I have also "just started". a "comic strip/music video" for The Metanoya's version of The Room. although how could you call it a music video if it's a comic strip. I guess more like a music strip or somthing. I will put in the lyrics along with the character as well as what i feel it's saying... but don't be expecting too much as I've never done anything like this before... but I am still very challenged with doing it and can't wait for a chance to start working on it although I probably won't ever get aroud to it since I also am starting to do some concept art for a game for this guy down in mexico...but, it's nothing official...I still have to actually write him and tell him about it but shhh...I won't tell if you won't but i do vaguely know what I'm drawing since jesse goode does it "officially" and i breezed over some of the stuff he gave him... but keep your fingers crossed, kay? |

broken wing is colored
yess! I finally finished it...
heres the link
Broken wing
this was so difficult to work with I had to do the base colors for the wings three times because my computer kept on getting turned of or photoshop was closed without me saving... gah!
and then there's the textures I really did not want to texturize this one too much as all my other cgs are so I just used two from what I had and just slap them on on the background only as I wanted the figures to stand out...
the blood was fun...

my last post as a fourteen year old
this is my last post as a fourteen year old...
My, how time flies... it seems just yesterday that I was blowing out the candles on a sloppily iced cake... and now that's just another memory... in the stacks... I have no regrets about this year... except... that I hadn't laughed more loved more and lived... more I wish that I hadn't been so scared... of the unkown... of being hurt... now I see that all my worrying was in vain... that i was holding myself back for no reason... I have no idea what tomorrow will bring... but I hope... I pray... that I will not fail the coming tests the coming trials... I still have my fear... but I am determined to overcome it...to master it...
I have become the fifteen year old...

updates...
hmmm... let me see what can I tell you...
well, I've started work on digitaly coloring my interpretation of "broken wing"... it's rather annoying because the lineart is pretty light because I'm using the pencil lineart so the colors get a little choppy around the outlines and I can never tell where they are when I brush against a dark color, but yeah besisdes that it's going well... here's the original image...
Broken Wing
we help at the foodbank today... making food boxes... it was quite fun first we had to fill them with one layer of cans then another with one box/bag of cereal and other boxes or bags, then another layer on top of that with jars... then we had to fill in all the empty spaces with what we call fillers or little packages and boxs of anything from oat meal to tea bags... the main goal was to get the best qualityand variety of food into each box as well as making it weigh enough... they had to be at least fifty pounds or else they didn't have enough food in them... we did about forty of them or four pallettes of twenty a very fun but almost exhausting experience... especially when you have your freinds there to joke and talk with...
we have some more people staying in the lodge... it's the guy's that came from nepal for wordstock I don't know how long they're staying though...
natalie called me last sunday... great conversation... of...of... politics... TEEN POLITICS!!!
yes you know they exist even though they go on right under your nose... quite scary... really... I hardly remember what the body of it was but most of it was me stumbling over my self about why I thought her breaking up with danny was funny(which I have no idea how or why it came up) while trying not to hurt here fellings... sigh it didn't work too well... and the conversation ended awkwordly... DAMN PHONOPHOBIA!!!...*hem*
marie claire is sooo pale! how does she do it? it must have something to do with those veils she's always wearing...
I hate this pic but it's the only one of me and melody dancing
I was so annoyed that Tim took this picture... not to mention we were camera'ed as well...
sigh...
*POOF* we are gone....
well, I've started work on digitaly coloring my interpretation of "broken wing"... it's rather annoying because the lineart is pretty light because I'm using the pencil lineart so the colors get a little choppy around the outlines and I can never tell where they are when I brush against a dark color, but yeah besisdes that it's going well... here's the original image...

characters of the Bible in a monastery
okay this is something quite humourous I stumbled apon written by Andre Beuchamp! it's quite hilarious so prepare for the stiches...
anyways here goes:
Characters of the Bible in a Monastery
(And the various problems that ensued)
Brother Adam: Never did manage to retrieve him from that bush. Whenever someone would stroll haplessly by he would cry aloud “I’ve sinned.”
Brother Noah: Kept on making puddles in the yard while trying to make a boat and coax others to join him.
Brother Abraham: He was so obedient; one was tempted to think he was a Labrador.
Brother Joseph: Kept on asking others to lie down on a couch; when they would comply, he would ask, “Now then, tell me about your dream?”
Brother Moses: Refused to stop playing with (parting) the tomato soup.
Brother Joshua: Announced every dinner that the Covent wall will, “Fall down in seven days.” Laps around the grounds ensued every evening.
Brother Samson: Ever heard of Cousin It?
Brother Samuel: Kept on telling others about his “voices.”
Brother David: That un-tuned harp was driving us MAD!
Brother Solomon: I do not think he comprehended the term “Celibate.”
Brother Isaiah: Refused to wear clothes, even while on the ‘Missions to the Poor’ ministry.
Brother Ezekiel: Kept trying to sneak dung-cakes in for midnight snacks.
Brother Daniel: Encouraged Brother Joseph by telling him his “dreams.”
Brother Jonah: His story (slightly altered) inspired the movie “Jaws.”
Brother Zacharias: Could not stop saying, “His name is John, his name is John.”
Brother John (the Baptist): Staunchly insisted that, “It’s not my fault that I unwittingly created the salvation practice for millions of Protestants.”
Sister Mary: Insisted that she was still a virgin, even after the barn incident.
Brother Peter: Always was boasting about how he could walk on Brother Noah’s puddles.
Brother John: Kept on annoyingly mimicking Jesus voice while saying, “What is that to thee? Follow thou me.” Snickers and black eyes ensued.
Brother Judas: A manic-depressive who had to be kept from all forms of string; shuddered at the sight of metal. (Sister Delilah called him cheap for awhile because he did not ask for 1,100 pieces of silver.)
Brother Paul: Insisted that the way the Bible Cartoons portrayed him makes him look gay.
Brother Titus: Felt “special” because, once upon a time, Brother Paul wrote him two letters.
Brother Gabriel: Could be heard snickering every time Sister Mary or the word ‘men’ was mentioned.
Brother Michael: Argued constantly that since his prostate is larger then Brother Gabriel’s that he should have been the one to impregnate Sister Mary.
Brother God: All he says is, “I’ve chosen a bunch of MANIACS
may the grint be with and may you love free...

woRdstOCK
my life has changed... I'm sure of it... I don't know what or how it happened but it did... and it happened at wordstock...the school of prophets...
six whole days of compromise shattering classes, awe inspiring experiences, and spiritually renewing, liberating, moshing... oh yes there was moshing... every night, laced fully with the cascading, flowing, and all out revolutionary spirit of god... our spirits were one as our ragged voices tore the veil... we were so totally and fully possessed that nothing else mattered... only the moments of pure power that tumulted down from the heavenlies were all we knew... those nights were some of the best I've ever known... I get chills just thinking about them now... the total and all out no limits ambience that permiated that hall totally blew my mind.... it was like nothing I've ever known before... and there is nothing that I wouldn't give to experience the same thing again...
so here's to wordstock here's to the school of prophets... may the revolution live on!!!
these are the things I know to be true
these things I've experienced
because as I moved
I felt the spirits presence

piling artisanian... stuff
soooo much has been going on this week... culturally that is...
first I finally finished the peice inspired by the Metanoya song I Believe in Hell... I was so lazy while doing the coloring... took me almost two months to do it... anyways here it is...
http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/9159/cage003copylb8.jpg
to read the lyrics and hear a low quality sample of the song go here:
http://www.metanoya.com/songs.php?sng=12
I've also finished a new song for my book...
I just couldn't resist putting it up as I worked hard on it and it has such sentimental value to it
anyways here it is
The Puppet
Verse 1:
A mess of strings
Above me swings
To these I am firmly strung
My hands and feet
These strings do meet
At the mercy of a tug
I cannot move
Unless I do
What these strings sing down to me
Chorus:
Soon these strings I will break
I will no longer take
What you tell me is real
I wanna know how it feels
To belong only to me
To walk away free
To steal the sunshine and rain
To know a true pain
Verse 2:
Curtain is raised
Forced into place
Same thing as always before
Dancing prancing
Endless thrashing
As I’m moved onto the floor
Jerking around force to the ground
As the music yearns to play
Repeat Chorus
Verse 3:
“You stubborn thing
You see these strings?
They are what’s holding you up
Cut them you’ll fall
Won’t move at all
Just dance it shouldn’t hurt much"
But I don’t care
These strings I’ll tear
I know there’s much more then this
Repeat chorus
Bridge:
I’m sick of this vanity faire
What is it you’re hiding me
I want to know what’s out there
What are you holding back from me?
Chorus 2:
Soon these strings I will break
I will no longer take
What you tell me is real
I wanna know how it feels
To belong only to me
To walk away free
To steal the sunshine and rain
To know a true pain
To run through the trees
To fall with my dreams
To find that I’m sane
To be an untamed
To be free to sing
To know the unseen
To fear no chains
To not live in a cage
To belong only to me
To walk away free
To steal the sunshine and rain
To know a true pain
A true pain
A true pain
A true pain…

sensitive song
I restrung my guitar today... it was a rather toilsome process but I made it...
I spent fifteen minutes alone trying to get the g string (heh) wound around the tuning mechanism right... I still didn't get it right... it's not really something I want to do again. I was freaked out that I would break something or scratch it badly but now I guess that since it's all over I can relax and work on stretching the strings...
and those evergreens come down....
Wordstock's in two weeks... I still haven't finished composing the flute peice I promised I'd do... still I'm pretty nervous adout it...
and they put them in a stand...
with lights all around...
still a little dazed from doing seven puppet shows for two days strait at a fiesta carnival thingy for special children... and I mean special... it pays for wordstock which is the only reason why we were doing it... God I hate carnival food...
This is a sensitive song...

trip...yeah...
I feel so drained... maybe it's the time... I dunno... it seems to be ticking on quite well... 11...
I feel almost like my life is worthless like I have nothing left to do but go on each day like a zombie... that's what I fell like... a zombie... I dunno... maybe it's the late nights I've been taking resently... the 'levens I've been popping in... or maybe it's the writer's block I've been having lately... I dunno... you can never tell these days...
anyway *snaps out of it* I'm going to Oklahoma(!) next week for Easter to visit my brothers... I doupt I'll have much fun... most likely no internet which means I'll be sorta blanking out for a week... hope YOU have fun...
Yep! I'M A FREAK!!!

linkelf...
I am such a stained little linkelf, never knowing what's really going on with my masters(trust me, there are many I hold a light for), but always seeming to get the best gist of it all... I hear much but am never told enough... such is my plight, I have many secrets to keep but none of them ever will be mine, for I hear much that I wish I did not understand, but far to often I just know enough to... curse these genetically long and sharp ears!, for they will become my bane someday I fear...
foozoo!!! people, foozoo!!!
gosh has anyone tasted this grimble yet?! I work hard to prepare it, I did!!!
oh well everyone's afraid to drink my cooking*sigh*

mountain happenings
Boy a mountain can happen in a week!
since last post I've been punished twice, had my half brother over with his wife's kids entered a contest, and gotten a book review from a very interesting critic... god my life's busy!
whooo...
spring's taken flight, a very teetery one considering that it's going down to the forties tonight...
started the inking to one of the illustrations to my book... realized that a piece really looks better(and is easier) when you use several diffent nibs...
relitives...
thursday I think it was they came over... all five of them... not something I want to do again... makes me glad I'm homeschool and thirty minutes away from san antonio...("is that really an electric fence")
note to self: never start a photomosaics puzzle by yourself

blog start...
okay okay
I did it... I finally started my own blog...
for the longest time I had been against one of these. I thought: "what's the point, really, what would I or in fact anyone else have to say? I mean I don't even have enough time to post anything on it...I'm constantly getting into, punishments and the most time I can spare/get from my parents on the computer would be at the most just fifteen minutes. So what's the whole point? " but then when I thought about it some more and I looked at some other ones by my friends I figured:"well, maybe if I tried it and see how it would be like. I might actually like it. I mean I can talk about literally anything, ANYTHING so why not."
and so I started this: The Silver Arrow Times
here is where I will post whatever's on my mind(providing it's appropriate), my art, news photos, poems(yeah those to) and any local news, and anything else that I feel like... or in other words, whatever...
