What if we were created to gaze at the stars??

My new favorite song is "The Stars" by Jukebox the Ghost. Infectious piano pop at its finest. I am so smitten by this band. (:

Ummm... I just finished this drawing/painting for one of my classes. It's just a weekly exercise, so it's nothing major that I spent a huge amount of time on, but I still like it!

 So...yeah! That's that!

Don't you forget the things you're leaving.

So, my friends and I had our final get-together with the entire gang last night, before we all start moving away to our various universities over the weekend. I wasn't even the least bit sad until people started leaving this morning. I'm going to miss those motherfuckers like no tomorrow. I haven't felt aching in my chest so bad in a long long time. But anyways, that's that. I'm home now, and one of my best friends from Florida landed in Toronto late last night (she's attending the University of Toronto this year! Woo!)  So I can't be completely sad today.

Also, I finished this drawing a couple days ago for a guy named Gary whom I met over at absolutepunk.net. It's a new/better version of an old drawing I did, based on the song "All The Pretty Girls" by a band named Fun. And it was, well, really fun to draw. haha. I'm mailing it later today. I adore it (:

School starts on Tuesday, and I am more than terrified.
My Photoshop CS4 is acting up like crazy so I've abandoned the project 365 out of sheer frustration with the faulty software. Rawr. I'll be getting CS5 soon enough, I'm sure.

That's all. I promise I'll be updating more now that school is starting up soon.

My room smells like oil paint.

Randomly felt like painting today. I technically still have exams on monday and tuesday, but I'm not going to worry. Even if I fail them, I'll still be on my way to OCAD come September.

I have a chunk of linoleum but no idea what to carve into it. What should I do what should I do??

I've recently come around to The Weakerthans. They're pretty great and they remind me of Troubled Hubble.

New painting

Fastest painting ever.
I started with a photo reference, but then got lazy and started winging it. I think it came out well.
Oil paint is so much prettier than acrylic, daayumm!
I'm tired.

'cause I was thinking we could pull another weekender...

 

What's up, people?
I threw this painting together for an art auction we're having at school to benefit this really cute charity called Sketch.
It's diluted oil paints on canvas. There is also a weird shine in the background because the paint is still wet. 
I had a latte at around 11 and now I'm feeling pretty wired. I might even go and draw something new.
Lately I've been feeling like I suck at school. English especially. Urgh XD This Hamlet essay can go to hell!
I'm sort of hungry.

In love with the 80s.

Painted this late last night out of boredom. I love square canvasses.
This is oil + graphite.
