Perspective

Definition:

- The technique of representing three-dimensional objects and depth relationships on a two-dimensional surface.

- The relationship of aspects of a subject to each other and to a whole.

The first one is so much easier! You just create a vanishing point or two or three and make all of your lines converge to their respective vanishing points. Nothing to it. Lately, I am having a lack of clarity on things. Where am I in relationship to where I think I am at in my life? Where do others view me? I am fairly certain that no matter where I am or would be, I'd never say I was ahead.

Anyway, this song found me on Pandora a couple of weeks ago and has stuck with me. I did some research today and found it's the guy from the Postal Service that isn't in Death Cab.



The chorus is a bit corny, but it makes me laugh.

"I have to type eleven numbers into my cel phone
Just to make it spell ‘love’
So I usually don’t
And it takes up fifteen digits to spell out ‘goodbye’
But if I leave out the ‘good’ I can save us some time
55566688833"

I guess the song is already outdated now that a lot of cels have full QWERTY keyboards. I also like the part about them having to turn off their cels and argue face to face like in the 90's.

Man On Wire

Tonight I watched Man on Wire. It was a telling of Philippe Petit who set out to achieve his dream of walking a tight rope between the Twin Towers in 1974. It was great to see all of the prep work they had done in order to pull it off. Philippe's dedication was tremendous.

Still Run

I've been kind of hooked on this vid.

Too Much Too Young

There is so much going on lately. I need a week at work to rest up from my busy weekends. This weekend it was shopping at every sporting goods/outdoors store in Orange County, burgers at Joe's Fillin' Station, drinks at home, drinks downtown, Mellow Mushroom, Sea World, shopping for clothes, Ceviche, and 4 shows at the Fringe Festival!

It's About Time

I haven't updated in freakin' forever. I have gone to figure drawing two weekends in a row! I guess I have been keeping myself busy. And work has been pretty fast paced too. 

So, here is a montage of some figure drawings. I need to find a better camera than the one on my iPhone. It makes the drawings so dense without a flash. I even tried putting the drawings in direct sunlight. It will soon be time to buy a new digi camera. My old one has been on the fritz for quite a while now.
