So I haven't written a new journal in years. Guess it's an every two year things..

Update on life! I graduated college, started a new personal project which will have lots of art for it posted (already posted some but there's a lot more planning left to go into it), got to work on some fun freelance projects, and got very into plants and flowers. Bought some flowers that I show off like a proud parent..

I started a twitter thingy, which is the point of this. Linking to other places I'm posting art and other things, especially since I tend to forget about DA a bit.

My last journal was from two years ago wow okay hey!
Cool stuff that's happened recently, went on a roadtrip last weekend. We drove almost all day there, spent some of the next day on a short hike to a beach, climbed some giant boulders, had near-death experiences, drove all day back the next day. Super fun stuff, that. Many games and moments were played and had, I might do several short comics about some of them maybe.
Big news, I'm graduating in the winter soooooo I'm opening up commissions once again because being able to pay for tuition is sort of a nice thing. Info in the post below

Slightly bored/distracted and saw this  

1. You were more concerned about the color of your car than the fuel consumption.
2. The highlights in your hair are from your palette and not Clairol.   (the ones that aren't natural yeah)
3. You are having lunch with the girls and the fragrance you wear is eau d'linseed oil. (yep)
4. The only piece of new furniture you have in your home is a $2000 easel.
5. You butter your toast with your fingers, just to feel its texture.
6. You think about taking a picture to a show. (mhmm)
7. You talk about going to a show where the pictures don't move. (to myself yeah)
8. You are over 50 and still have no health insurance.  (pff i am over 9000! ...i'll see myself out..)
9. Your family takes out a life insurance plan on you for less than $5000.
10. You know what shade of green the lichen on the trees is.  (yes!)
11. You can't find a nice outfit for your date because everything has paint smears on. 
12. Your date ends up with paint smears on her/him. 
13. You're late for the date because you suddenly knew exactly what that detail of your latest painting needed and just had to fix it while it was fresh in your mind.
14. You chose to buy that new Russian Sable Number Six Round instead of a Big Mac, a Large Fry, a Milkshake, Desert, and five gallons of gas.  (if i had to choose then yeah!)
15. Your favorite home repair store refuses to work with you to repaint your den, because you rename all of their paint swatches and you get upset that they don't carry the exact nuance of raw umber you had in mind.
16. You purchase a ton of books, and most are blank inside. (yep)
17. When viewing a sunset, you think in terms of cadmium yellow (light hue), salmon and gold, a tinted teal mixed with gold for the water...." (when viewing anything...)
18. Strangers save your 'regular' spot at the park, perfect for observing children and pigeons.
19. There are Prussian blue fingerprints on your phone.   (until i clean it off)
20. You stay awake late at night wondering how to render on canvas the dimly lit shapes and the shadows in your room. (and just everything overall)
21. When you go out, you are always stopping and gazing at the world around you. (yep) 
22. You travel far to sketch a place of scenic beauty. (i guess)
23. You clean your brushes in your coffee. (thankfully hasn't happened so far. almost though)
24. You carry pencils instead of pens. (yep. both actually.)
25. You have watercolor swatches on cardboard in your pocket.
26. You explain your deplorably bad housekeeping by saying, "it's a work-in-progress..."  (now why didn't i think of this before)
27. You do judge a book by its cover.  (sometimes)
28. You watch the latest kids' digital animation movies and drool over the effects as much as the story. (yeaaaah)
29. You bought paint instead of food! 
30. You paint more than you talk.   (definitely)
31. You draw your letters instead of write them. (i guess, yeah.)
32. You like to get plastered and paint the town red.
33. You're in love ... with your studio.  (if i had one!)
34. You know that art does not match your sofa.
35. If dust bunnies are part of your mixed media.  (yeaah)
36. You buy expensive brushes, and have nothing to do your hair with.  (yup, i keep losing those hairties all the time..)
37. You get a feeling of calmness from holding and stroking the bristles of your clean paintbrushes.  (yes!!)
38. When going on a quick errand in your painting cloths you're finding people rave over the 'fashion statement' you didn't even realize you were making. (i don't really go outside on quick errands)
39. You know the difference between beige, ecru, cream, off-white, and eggshell.  (yes!!)
40. You know more than 28 colors.  (pfff 28? hah hahah hahahah hah yes)
41. You get excited about football season because it means your significant other will finally be sitting still on the sofa long enough for you to paint him.
42. At the gym you take note of the intense facial expressions of the heavy lifters. (maybe if i went to the gym)
43. You never look at a person's face as a whole. You break it up into shadows and lines and shapes, and think how they would look on a canvas.  (as a first read, yeah)
44. When others are needing to be with the in crowd, you feel lost in the crowd.  (most of the time)
45. You long to be alone with your thoughts while others are lonely without much thought.  (some of the time)

------------------------------

In other news, taking commissions so note or email me ( captainsartstudio@gmail.com ) if interesting. Also, on another note, I might start posting big sketch files from my zoo sketchbook and others. Maybe if people'll like em I won't make them giant dumps and separate them out more like page by page. Maybe. But giant sketch dumps there will be. Soon.
