I instantly want to go "I say!" in a very posh accent when I put the monocle and mustache on. All made from an old broken record, because I'm too poor to buy proper supplies, destitution is the birth of recycling!

Incognito!

More ceramic work.
Ceramics seem to be the only things I'm finishing and photographing these days. Soon I'll photograph some jewelry I've been making and finish up some paintings. Maybe.
First a piggy bank shaped like a human heart.
A skull inkwell, or a skull box.
And finally Morpheus in progress, he's at home with me over spring break.
I'm starting to feel positively Pygmalion about this project.

I think my computer's colour is off, or wiki has a poor colour representation, or Winsor & Newton has consistently fucked up their batches of Alizarin Crimson. I'm going with wiki, I think they used the colour of rose madder and not the synthetic stronger version of rose madder which is alizarin crimson them being the same thing in essence, because Winsor & Newton are (some of) my gods.
Also I am sad because I didn't know it was a 'fugitive pigment', hopefully no one looks at my paintings in some years. At least they won't deteriorate as much or as quickly as J.M.W. Turner's, his impetuousness, regarding paint, is astounding. Had a genuis for light all the same and I can't wait to see his work in person, also Botticelli again, not even touching on everything else, oh my darlings, so far away in England. Soon though, for a little time I get to be with them. (Yes I have more affection for art/artefacts than people, I don't have to figure out relations with them, and they will always be there, beautiful and eternal.)
I went to the SF Symphony tonight and the last piece they did was a suite compiled from Shostakovich's opera Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District, it was absolutely wonderful, the conductor, who put together the suite, took the time to explain which elements were what characters and which point of the story. Now I'm dying to see the opera.
I need to go to a museum, I need to be with my old dead darlings, that is a good way of describing them. Also I need to finish my damn paintings, and read.
This is totally useless information and probably confusing to everyone but me.

There are times during which I seriously lament the fact that I can never become a vampire and have all the time in the world to read, learn, and create, while staying young. Also I'm deeply upset by the fact that I'm not a savant or genius and lack and amazing innate skills.
I wish I could invest myself thoroughly into every idea I have, every interest, but there is just so much I dream of, the knowledge that I can never achieve it all towers over me and creates this shadow of hopeless laziness.
I did finally make a terribly Baroque item out of clay. Let the puns flow.
I inadvertently recreated the gates of Heaven from Lucifer in the form of a brass "pierced piece" on Friday in my Jewelry Making class. First piece I've ever sawed out of metal.
I think my left iPod ear bud has a cricket living in it.
The list of random churches I want to visit is growing... and now reaching into Belgium, mind you these are just the ones I know by name.
Also:
Picasso wasted his immense talent on abstract art. There are very few things that redeem him in my eyes for this, Guernica and his ceramics heading the list.
