drinkin' wine and thinkin' bliss...

Journal Entry: Tue Apr 28, 2009, 9:18 AM










...is on the other side of this
i just need a compass and a willing accomplice
all my doubts that fill my head cascading up and down again
up and down around again, down and up and down again

oh i’ve had my chances and i’ve taken them all
just to end up right back here on the floor
to end up right back here on the floor

pennies in a well
a million dollars in the fountain of a hotel
fortune teller says maybe you won’t go to hell
but i’m not scared at all
mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
the cracks in the crystal, the cracks in the crystal ball

sometimes you think everything’s wrapped up inside a diamond ring
love just needs a witness, and a little forgiveness
and a halo of patience, and a less sporadic pace, and
i’m learnin to be brave in my beautiful mistakes

oh, i’ve felt that fire, and i, i’ve been burned,
but i wouldn’t trade the pain for what i’ve learned
i wouldn’t trade the pain for what i’ve learned

irony, irony is hating love, hating love
for what it does to me, what it’s done to me
what it’s done, done

pennies in a well
a million dollars in the fountain of a hotel
broken mirrors and a black cat’s cold stare
walk under ladders on my way to hell
i’ll meet you there
but i’m not scared at all
mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
no, i’m not scared at all
of the cracks in the crystal, the cracks in the crystal ball

this started off as a very pissed-off entry. beyond pissed actually. more like a blind rage. thankfully i got a handle on that. sort of...

today is print ordering day. spent all day yesterday uploading and picking sizes. as i type this, the second to last image is uploading. groovy, eh?

i'll probably have the prints in hand thursday or friday. that will be fun as hell. all told, i'll have 36 prints ranging in size from 8x10 to 24x36. i am so fucking jazzed. next step, matting and framing. but i've got time. still almost six weeks until the show. but this is really fun. i'm having the time of my life. well, except for the whole process of setting prices... how do you put a price tag on a piece of your soul?

tomorrow i start a new job. laying tile. that ought to be fun. the first job i got lasted two days. i was breaking my back for minimum wage so i said to hell with that. this job pays a bit more, it's a cash job, and there's a tangible result from the work. it isn't what i want to do with my life, but it will pay for the essentials. you know, beer.

i've been scheming a bit lately. oh wait, i'm always scheming. what was i thinking? more on that later. don't want to let that one out of the bag just yet.

anyway, i've hooked up with a couple pretty cool people up here and we're heading out to openings friday night. going to have a look at the local art scene and try to get a feel for the market. it doesn't hurt that they're both fine young art students who really like what i can do with a camera. i smell trouble...

anyway, thought i'd leave you with a pearl of wisdom from all our friends over at tshirthell(dot)com...

all that glitters is not gold. it might be a stripper who just got off work. ';p

be excellent to each other

:peace:

PHUCKE HIGH COMMISSION PRICES

:headbang: My DIGITAL INKING tutorial!!!
:iconka-te:
schwey. awesome news about the job and the print ordering and all that. i totally agree on the price thing though. i hate selling things that i've made. people tell me i should charge more but i can't make myself do it. (i knit and crochet, purses, stuffed animals, etc. i haven't sold any of my photos yet, i have no idea how to price that. i've sold a few paintings... :/ )

yeah, matting is hella fun. i've never done my own custom framing though.

why do you smell trouble with young art students? *sniffs pits* am i trouble smelly??? o.o
