2009 general work. a recurring 'theme' i see in my art, is that i rotate subjects. mostly from human, to furry, back to human again, back to furry, etc etc. i go through phases where sometimes i just want to draw animal people. and then i get sick of it, i guess, or i get ideas for 'real paintings' and get back to drawing more traditional things.

also summertime seems to make me want to draw more colorful, for some reason. strange. i must have seasonal affect-your-drawings syndrome.


i also just finished a painting that i can't remember where i saw it in my head before. it must have been one of those things that comes up when i'm falling asleep. i certainly know i didn't see it in a dream.
i did see, the other day, in a nap, my comic. it was a [comic-related] biblical story, where horace was playing a savior named mathuiyas, and keesha was playing a lame/blind homeless girl named kiesha [who in my brain-character-logic is the 'biblical' origin for her name]. the interesting thing is that i think i dreamed it in comic format.



"he came upon her in the valley.
mathiuyas

all the false pretenders who say they are believers -- who say they live by the laws of doing good to others, liberty, respect, but instead do exactly the opposite, and even worse, burn those who want to help others.

he came upon her in the valley. she was blind and lame, and lived in a ditch near the river. her name was kiesha.
they talked for a short while. she was not a pretender. he took her foot, and healed it. she could walk again, and discarded her walking cane.
then he took her head in his hands, and said he would cure her blindness.
she shrieked, and her eyes turned white. but she could see.
she saw his handsomness, and he saw hers. mathiuyas decided to stay in the valley, she washed his cookware and made him food in return for his service."

it seemed more of a story that horace had read in his version of the bible and transposed himself and keesha into. like i was dreaming a dream of his.



it was in black and white and had still frames instead of moving. actually, i think most of my dreams are in still frames, now that i think of it. i am not a moving pictures kind of person. anyway, it was weird because most of the time i dream in color [supposedly unlike the rest of humanity. i know for a fact that i do because it's been an integral part of the story and details of many, many dreams i've had]. and i don't believe i have dreamt much about my characters before, either. i used to get jealous of other people who were so wrapped up in their chars that they would dream about them. now that i've distanced myself from that, i find myself dreaming about them.
