Hey yo Captain Jack


Run along with Captain Jack

My concentration: Shapeshifters


The first one is an Ekek, who are creatures that are bird-like humans. They are winged-humans who search for victims at night. They hunger for flesh and blood. In some versions, they shift into a human form during the day.

They remind me a lot of aswangs... both like eating fetuses... ew.
The second one is another alp piece. I'm mostly going to take the other alp one out and replace it with another one, so that I don't have two alp pieces.... Alps: An alp is typically male, while the mara and mart appear to be more feminine versions of the same creature. Its victims are often females,[1][2][3] whom it attacks during the night, controlling their dreams and creating horrible nightmares (hence the german word Alptraum ("elf dream"), meaning a nightmare). An alp attack is called an Alpdruck, or often Alpdrücke, which means "elf pressure". Alpdruck is when an alp sits astride a sleeper's chest and becomes heavier until the crushing weight awakens the terrified and breathless dreamer. The alp is best known for its shape-shifting abilities, similar to the creatures from werewolf lore. It may change into a cat, pig, dog, snake or a small white butterfly.[6] It has also been said that it can fly like a bird and ride a horse. The alp always wears a hat, giving it an almost comical appearance.[1][6][4] The hat is known as a Tarnkappe[6] (the literal translation being "camouflage cap" or "cap of concealment") which is simply a hat (or less commonly a veil) that gives the alp magic powers and the ability to turn invisible while worn (see also cloak of invisibility). The hat is visible no matter what shape the alp takes. An alp who has lost this hat will offer a great reward for its safe return.[1] The alp also possesses an "evil eye" whose gaze will inflict illness and misfortune. Removing or damaging this eye also removes the alp's malicious intentions.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alp_%28folklore%29

I've Got



A lovely bunch of coconuts, doodly doo

Have you ever had those days that were, pretty good, until the end when one little microscopic thing goes wrong, and all of a sudden the good day turns to "OH SHIT IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD"? That's what's happening to me right now. And it's extremely inconvenient. And annoying. Yes, it's irrational for me to be so distressed over stupid, delicious, amazing, oh-my-god-scrumptious, chocolate covered espresso beans; but right now, it's the end of the world.
And when it's the end of the world, do you:

a. sleep
b. do art
c. study for finals
d. b and c
e. freak out, waste a lot of time and energy, then eventually fall asleep
(e is so far looking like the preferable option)

So, at this point, it's up in the air whether or not my life will ever be the same again. My life may be in ruins forever because of this one moment. This one moment in time will be an ugly infected scar that I'll remember for the rest of my life. I'll look back on it and see an ugly, infected, white, red, black, purple, green, moist, bloody, wound.

Or I'll completely forget about it tomorrow and go on with school and life like always, and it'll be an inconceivable blip in the long run.

I won't remember this day in fifty years.

I won't remember those stupid delicious amazing oh-my-god-amazing chocolate covered beans.

Damn, chocolate covered espresso beans sound REALLY good right now....Until I get my actual other concentration up, enjoy this picture I drew of an Ekek right before she devours a fetus from a mother's wom with her insanely long tongue.

Do it like a Dude


Stomp stomp I've arrived

So, I found this website recently that me thinks is pretty awesome. It's basically this site where dykes from all over the world (or so I assume, they're fairly diverse) take pictures depicting lesbian pride. Or just lesbians hanging out. But a lot of the photography is really nicely done, great quality, and surprisingly it's not all porn. Some of it kind of is, like maybe 5%, but most of it is PG and awesome. http://fuckyeahdykes.tumblr.com/

When I was first looking through it it got me thinking, though. I love gay pride and all, but... the fact that it's becoming a fad rather than an acceptance thing kinda bugs me. Meh. The idea of pansexuality has also been bugging me, but for different reasons.

This weekend I've been mostly channeling my rage and anger through: facebook, cursing, and almost breaking my viola. Yep. Fun times. I just love going to my dad's.

yep.

Word Up


Hello pretty ladies around the world


Hating the WOA project with a BURNING PASSION OF A THOUSAND SUNS. I really wish we were required to do less photos for this and we could either pick the categories, or choose categories from the list. (Like, I like the transforming category, photos taken at night, decaying, funny, and intense color. I hate taking pictures of groups of people since they never turn out and the simple shapes category is freaking me out. I can't tell if my pictures work for it or not. Same goes for the story one.) Really not feeling it, and having to do so much of a project I dislike... just not feeling it. At all, yo. Also wish we could use old photos.

And no, I didn't wait until the last minute to do this project. I've been taking photos over the past month or whatnot, but I'm piecing all of it together right now, and it's extremely annoying. Especially since I always have a mini freak out over just the concentration pieces, now I have a freak out over 102 pieces.

My concentration pieces are pretty good though. I don't think they're my best pieces of work I've ever done, but they're descent. Yay....
