Mood: kinda cheerful, actually
I got into this discussion with September last night about what art meant to us. I think we talked for about 2 hours. We really had a deep conversation about it. I really enjoyed it.
To me, art is a form of expression. I cant even remember how many times i have heard people discussing art
and bringing up which artist is "BETTER" that the other. Of course one
can often argue on sheer technical merit that one artist might draw
more realistic architecture, or characters and such, but i argue that
art should not be judged on sheer technical skill alone.
Good art to me, has always been about EXPRESSION. When a artist has some
thing to say with their work, whether it be through illustration or comics,
it is apparent, and it gives a sense of depth and integrity to the work.
Art also needs to have a voice. Oftentimes i talk with friends about art and explain to them no matter how
great a artist may draw or paint or write, it means little if they have
nothing to say.
like screaming over and over but never forming a word.. or a language.
expression is impossible to judge. there is no "better" expression, due to
the fact that art is reactive, subject to the taste of the individual viewer.
That pretty much sums up what I said.
Then September gave her response, and it went a little bit like this:
Art's not so much of an exresson of ME, or MY feelings and
emotons, but just emotions in general, and I kind of want to strike emotion,
whatever it is, really strong in people. Plus I love drawing it!
Also, I love to portray love in my art, and have people see it for something
more than porn or whatever. I don't draw for that, and I absolutely hate it
when people can't see past the sexual content, or maybe even the mature
nature of my art; that some people can be so shallow as to presume about it
or about me from it, thinking ME as outwardly sexual, or easy ::cough cough
stephen tom cough::
In fact, one of the reasons I'm so intellectually attracted to you (that's me by the way ^_^) is
because you can see art for art, and not for its face-value. Whenever I've
shown you any of my art like that, you hve NEVER just said "OH, cool, porn!"
or "Ugh, man that's so gross!" and you don't presume about ME because of it,
and I love that. You are one of the only other people I've ever met that did
that.
Wow!

Mood: lovey dovey
Time passes by
And life will never be the same
But don't let your dream fall to the ground
Don't let your pain take over the sky
Because there is tomorrow
And I'll be there to love you

Mood: You know...
Erg...I'm really bored right now.
I guess I'll just have to watch lots of anime porn, like I did last night. I watched Mezzo Forte again which, by my account, is the greatest hentai/action/comedy anime of all time. At one moment you'll be like "sweet, baseball!" then another you'll be like "oh shit! guns!" and then you'll be all "hey-- fucking!" and it'll all just recycle itself over and over. Really tightly scripted out action scenes (one notable occasion is when the lead character chick kicks a dude out the side of a building, and the camera shows him plummet to his death with an outside shot-- beautiful). Really gratuitous fuck-scenes with notable lines like "suck every inch of that hot cock" or something like that. Pretty intense stuff. I was kinda blazed (really blazed) when i saw it and it was almost too much for me to handle. I almost shot my load.
Oi!

That game of life is hard to play

Music: Abandoned Pools "Mercy Kiss"
Mood: Frentic
Erg...The 20th was Yoshiki's B-day and I did absolutely nothing. I mean, I wore my X-Japan shirt and did nothing but jam to their music all day...but that wasn't enough. I wish I could go to his concert in December, but that'd be pretty much impossible. I'd have to fly to Japan, buy a ticket, find a hotel...ect. ect. It'd be too much to plan, especially this late in the month (the concert is on the 4th).
I should have the next page of White Wallpaper done and uploaded by the end of tonight. Something just clicked and I went into drawing machine mode. I have around 5 pages layed out and a new drawing finished for September (I think I'll make it once of her Xmas presents). I hope i finally get a project off the ground. It's been like 2 years? as far as drawn things go anyway. I'm excited.
I got about 25 more seconds done on my video, Psyence A Go Go! God, I love it!!! It should be out my mid-December.
I would have hosting by now, but the person offering it to me isn't responding to my e-mails. I think he's on vacation or something. If all else fails, I have his cell phone number so I'll give him a call if it takes too much longer.
I got $35 dallors today for an action figure I sold on Ebay. Screw saving. I just bought Sep another gift for Xmas with it. I got her the latest Gackt CD, Moon. I know she'll love it. I also finished another drawing for her (with a poem) which I'll include with the rest of the stuff I got her. it was a good day. i think i'm going to hit the coffee house or strum my friend's guitar.
