Other Layers of Doing The Art Thing.

Working backwards is sometimes the easier thing to do, but sometimes it just doesn’t make sense. You can un-puzzle a puzzle, thats a ton of fun but it doesn’t make sense unless you’re Destructo/wo/man. I made that up.

Trying to fuddleduddle with my website has me wanting to regress, and instead of giving you all a State!Of!The!Art! site where you can ooh and aww, I kinda want-

remember Geocities? I used to have a page, and an Angelfire page, and a Gurlpages page, and I had that running neko-cat marquee. Don’t worry I wont bring that back, just deciding to wallow in my desperation.

I’m working backwards in art, too. I never went to artschool unless you count the time I was 7 years old and went to “art school” where my job was to desecrate a forest worth of chartpaper with smellyfelts. I’m going to artschool soon, to finally learn the tools of my trade. 4 years of university taught me that note-taking isn’t neaRLY as pretty as doodling, but it’s not an art basis I can fall back on. I’m learning everything as I go and the humility is heartbreaking (Sorry, what’s ‘vector’ ?)

Face palm desk corner sulk.
Plus 2 resilience.

So in the midst of all this regression sulking, I decided to try finger painting again. After all, I never formally learned how. The gunky under my nails spurns would-be-suitors but it was fun while the regression-sulk lasted

batstxx. oh I fingerpainted OVER ink. I’m not that good with my stubbys.

Super Emo Tries To Eat His Lunch Inconspicuously

Super Emo

Coming soon to a shadow near some broken dreams.

INTRODUCING SUPER EMO

vcky — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 09:22:54 +0000

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s-
SUPER EMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’d ask u all to give him a big welcome to the world of the imaginary, but that’s okay. He’s practicing the art of Caring Less about the inhabitants of a world that will never, ever understand him.

I’m going to be at the Urban Glamour Market Thursday (today), from 7-10. If you’re in Vancouver, swing by for some local artistry and be the first to pick up some super emo merchandise featuring Super Emo.

I know, my friend was all like, “Isn’t Super Emo kinda like Major Buzzkill?” and I was like, “Please go away.”

I’m hoping to feature my buttons at this market, there’ll be a small bucket of hand-drawn ones and one-offs that I can try to sell as a “gotta collect them all!!!!” marketing frenzy!

That may have worked too, if only my spending-the-whole-evening-trying-to-draw-Super-Emo hadn’t indeed made me identify with my sullen creation.

Everything sucks.

Remember he said he felt like a bit of butter spread over too much bread? I feel like that with the number of INTERNETY things I’ve signed up with.

I started using instagram lately. I feel like I’m cheating professional photography, by taking crappy pictures with my cell phone and then putting a predetermined filter on it. The account is mostly pictures of stuff I draw with pen/paper, pages and pages of love letters to Spike, and my dog doing indecent things. So that’s one more thing you can follow me on, if you miss your daily dose of chickenscratch.

Small Update

vcky — Sat, 19 Feb 2011 09:48:34 +0000

Thanks for sticking it out, everyone! The overhaul is having overhaulic issues, I’m gettin’ there!

In the meantime, nothing else is going on.

Also, I have this beer gut that I’ve been trying to work off. And I just cringed badly when I typed “trying”, because “trying” is just me poking it 20 times every hour on the hour.

None of that has any relevance.

Look at this mug I have! It’s one of those MAKE YOUR OWN OVERPRICED STARBUCKS TUMBLER things, and because I’ve been poking my stomach for the last hour and trying to make irrelevant things sound important – I wrote out what I could fit of the Lorem Ipsum Dolor Sit Amet……….

And I like instagram.

Oh, uhm.. thanks, babe.

Found one of my lone Valentines Day cards at the store, next to this fuzzy rendering of a sexually transmitted disease.

cus it’s a bittersweeeeet, symphonyyyy thiiis lliiiiiiife

jokes, jokes. I salvaged the card from it’s STD haven and stuck it beside a bunch of on-sale Justin Bieber calendars.

In other news, I’ve been fiddling around with the site, trying to get it to look different and have a place where the BUY STUFF button actually goes somewhere I’ll continue to post blog posts as time goes, but the daily doodle has taken a hit. As usual I’m on twitter at @vckystxx , but most of my inconsequential ramblings are at @ivcky (uhm, follow at your own discretion), and reachable at vcky@vckystxx.com

Ah’ll be back.

I’m trying to get a much needed new revamp done to the site, and it’s a small but steep learning curve! Sorry about the lack of consistency over the next few weeks as I get this sorted out, but 2011′s looking to be pretty snazzy!

So my iPhone camera’s been doing this weird thing where it shows right-side up on the phone and the second I upload it or email it somewhere, it is sideways. Like the rain.
