I say the right things but act the wrong way
I like it right here but I cannot stay
I watch the TV; forget what I'm told
Well, I am too young, and they are too old
Oh, man, can't you see I'm nervous, so please
Pretend to be nice, so I can be mean
I miss the last bus, we take the next train
I try but you see, it's hard to explain

So today I had drawing class at 8:10 this morning! That is uber-difficult for someone like me who has NEVER been a morning person, but the class went well nonetheless. My teacher is painting the retirement portrait for Masiello and is mostly a painter by trade and I think that's cool. He mentioned that he has had exhibitions in the past and has more coming up in the future and I think that's cool. Maybe I can gain some tutelage from this fellow and he can give me some direction as to what it is I need to do to have a proper exhibition. He seems alright, he's a younger guy and name dropped "The Pink" so I can't imagine he's some hard ass.

Me and my dad made a 3'x3' canvas today and I can't WAIT to get started working on that one. I promise no more Clemente'-esque portraits, but rather something a bit more surreal, so look out for that in the coming week.

I'm seriously broke at present time and it seems that everyone wants to hang out with me this week (blah). I need to buy more art supplies for my class and pay my phone bill and a few other things I'm sure. I really want AND need that job at the Co-op and I'm praying that I get it. It's so close to school and everywhere else I frequent so that would be ideal.

So this weekend was sort of sedate for me, but there's much to be said about sedation. On friday i was at off the wall and I had a few drinks with friends and that was fun. On saturday i was at spot w/ another friend and that was cool. There was no place to sit so instead in went for a walk and saw all the great buildings around Elmwood and Delaware and that was fun. Good conversation was had. Later on we had dinner. This morning I went for another job interview and that went superlatively in my opinion, so hopefully I'll hear something back soon. And right now I'm just jotting down art ideas and dl'ing some music. So i mean it when I say it was sedate. Hope everyone else's weekend was good.

Ciao!

This is the newest painting I've done. It's called "Fabbish Face" and I think I'm going to send it to the Impact Gallery for a show they're doing. It's acrylic and water color with pastel on 2'x4' canvas.

More photographs of Montreal!

































A sexy and pretty city by all accounts!

Okay, so looks like I finally got some of the pix from my trip to montreal! I hope you enjoy them! It was such a rad trip, believe me!

Smoking a cigarette and taking it all in.



Looking a bit like George Harrison, in my own opinion.



Wearing a parka, because that's what gorgeous men do.
