Oodles of Doodles

Octopus hiding among a school of fish <3

Tiny octopi with tiny fish

 Face cat stares into your soul

 

I am keeping an art journal but I never can think of anything to write so thus far it is a whole bunch of tiny doodles.  Also here is a cat with no body.. just eyes and a tail it made me laugh so I added it. My boy friend asked for a doodle of an octopus hidden in a school of fish, not really sure exactly why but it came out fun so i got to use up a page of my notebook. If you have any ideas for doodles let me know and I will post the finished product!

WTF is a Hipster?!?!

This was supposed to help me understand. (it did not really work)

My depiction of a hipster.

Just to start out Hipsters confuse the hell out of me. Talking to my friends about what makes a hipster it seems no one actually seems to know. All accounts of run ins with hipsters are different. There are a few key similarities but for the most part no one seems to be able to give me a finite definition of a hipster. Large black rim glasses seem to be the one staple. Scarfs seem to be another hipster theme along with flannel lumberjack shirts and weird hair styles. Some other notable attributes are their elitist attitude extreme high top or low top shoes and strategically torn jeans. Other than these few clothing details hipsters are a mystery. I once had a conversation that began with the thought that they were derived from beatniks. I respectfully refuse to believe this idea, I feel that hipsters are not new wave beatniks but instead pushed actual beatniks underground. Beatniks are alive just pushed into the sewers of the artistic word like the teenage mutant ninja turtles only to be forgotten about and upstaged by the hipsters. According to the chart above hipsters have been along time coming but I don't recall half of these steps, we have been blindsided by the sheen of the new age vegan world of art seeking hipster parasite. I remember some of these trends but they seemed more like the slow disappearance of 90s grunge culture. Needless to say I will be looking more into this out of the blue phenomenon of snobby art museum weirdly dressed culture, trying to figure out how this plague happened and what the hipsters criptonite is.

Since I am not eyeballs deep in schoolwork just yet and still have free time some of it has been lovingly dedicated to watching cartoons from my childhood. In watching these cartoons I have noticed that current tv shows are not cartoons like they claim. Instead the TV of today is total crap. CG cartoons do not count especially when they are all teaching you a different language. What happened to mind numbing television for when you are just to tired of school and life to learn any more. I have no problems with children knowing 5 languages before they are 10 years old but they need to have a break sometime. What happened to the days of cartoons that were filled with innuendos that parents could laugh at and kids could wonder about for the next week. I want to see eyeballs popping out of characters heads until they are bigger than their entire body, characters that cant exist in normal life, cartoons that are all animals or creatures forget cartoons of children WHO CARES WHAT MANNY FIXES TODAY?! not me! I want to see the angel and devil on each shoulder both be bad, there were not ethical cartoon angels when I was a kid. I just watched a baseball go through a hammer head sharks right eye and straight through to the left, where is the pain that used to come with cartoons? *sigh* I guess I am left finding them on dvd because there is nothing worth while spending time doing nothing to. So for now I listen to Bev Big Head talk like an old black lung smoking diner waitress and think of the good old days of real cartoons :)

The best damn mug in the world!!!

If you did not know, my love for darkroom developing is never ending, so when I was finally able to buy out half of the darkroom section in the school store it was blissful. I know this does not seem like much but this is just a piece of it, the other stuff is not really as fun or is hiding from light. Funny enough I wont be able to use them in intro to darkroom for at least 3 weeks, HOWEVER I can use them now in my photo studio class, leave it to me to find the one loophole to get me there 3 weeks faster. Complete with my chemistry mixing paper I have been trained and put on the "must be permitted to the darkroom at all times" list. WIN!

Some funny inspiration for my first photo studio project :)
