[lay.in.rest - broken.souls]

Well this is my deviantART page and I welcome you to it.
Information about me and my art can be found below as well as my journal. Take a look at my gallery which is currently under description construction [still...] or just stay and chat if you'd like. I am online most times of the day and willing to help out people if they ask.





Over the past while I've been inactive with my journals, this isn't because I had nothing to say but more or less cause I just wasn't bothered with typing about things.

Lately I've grown closer with obsessions of things that push social norms, things like human anomalies, mutations, freaks, monsters, unaccepted concepts/theories, even just pushing what is "acceptable" music, fashion, etc.

The biggest thing that's happened lately would be last week I went to Toronto to see The Misfits, Balzac, Dirty Bird and Famous Monsters. It was there that I spent most my time in the pit having an amazing time. I lost my second left nipple ring though, and not having a spare at home I decided to let it heal over. The infection in the nipple would have made it excruciating to try to force new jewelery in a closing piercing anyways. Also due to the infection in my second holes my nipples bled most the night making my yellow shirt bloody and red. I lost a captive bead to my top right earring which I hadn't noticed until Friday night. I busted my ear up too, cut up my right eye lid, scraped my knees and generally had a blast.
Overall it was an amazing show; not just musically, but communally. It showed me how tightly bonded the community really is. I met a group of people from Bellville in line in front of me, and all five of them were quite friendly.
Having to walk back to Union after the show led me to miss the last train allowing me to take the bus instead. Not knowing my way around Toronto I rely on strangers directions and help with the bus service, etc. They proved to me yet again how we can rely on others when we need it.

I do have much more art on the way, many many incomplete things I'd like to complete. A girl I dub as Frakenlady especially, and a boot I may do prints of for school. I've been a little challenged in drawing lately, as I haven't been doing much personal work which I detest to be honest. Although I've been doing much for school. Creatively speaking I've still done a lot of art, I've finished studding the back of my jacket, painted the outline and skeleton arms on my jacket. Made a shirt last Wednesday at a volunteer activity out of a pillow case, which I adore. Also for The Misfit show I painted a pair of leather pants with the leg skeletal structure, including the hip bone, other then slight chipping in the crouch area due to the show they are amazing. I'm constantly being creative in some way, just lately it hasn't been in drawing but other things.

School has been doing fairly well, while I'm not the most accomplished, I'm doing fine. Socially I'm doing great, many friends, in both the student body and the staff.

I'm not really sure what more to include here, I'm sorry for the lack of updates I've made lately. There is a lot of work I'd Love to comment, but for any one who takes note of how I comment I really need a lot of time and effort to take everything about a piece in and really display my appreciation for it. Also I've been a little slow responding to messages over the weekend, that's just mostly been due to my lack of motivation I've had; I've been too busy recovering from the show.

I'm going to be going to bed shortly so I'd Love for everyone to enjoy themselves and have a pleasant mooncycle.

To start, I felt that I would open up and write a little about myself and my art. I really honestly don't expect most you or read all this but if you do, I really respect that. And you don't read this, I understand, and please don't worry about it.

I've been on our Earth for eighteen years now and with that I have seen and experienced a lot. You may have disagree, doesn't really matter to me, I feel we all are knowledgeable about a lot more than we realize. I stand to be around 5'6". My interests span a huge sector of this, mostly nerd things, natural things, and creative things. Other interests usually lay on an emotional scale. Which basically sums me up - I am a very natural oriented artistic kind nerd.

Creative interests include all kinds of art, music, fashion, story making, animation, body modification, role playing, etc. I pretty much always been into creative things and some things I've explored in great depth. I feel as I will continue exploring areas until I feel content with them and then I'll probably move to learning more about another area. But there is no reason why one should ever stop exploring more within an artistic field. Drawing will always be something I continually explore, as with many other things.

I have been drawing all pretty much my entire existence, with some dry periods. I originally was into comic books due to my father being a very large avid collector, but as I grew my interest in comic books withered and I grew into anime. I've come to realize there was no reason why I needed to have separate interests and grew back into comic books, then animation in general. Right now I'm pretty much just all over the place, I've feel I've kept elements from comic books, cartoons, anime, and manga all within my art.

I also enjoy photography, although I am not very educated within it. I just dabble and enjoy taking pictures sometimes, usually things fairly abstract or in nature. I am however educated within black and white photography, but I definitely would need more practice if I were to do anything large scale. I Love how much a picture can capture, how many memories can be held in a little polygonal shape. I would like to attain a Polariod camera as there is a large scale project I'd Love to tackle.

Within body modification, I enjoy majority of things. Both minor modification and more extreme things. I personally have twelve piercings, and plan to continue getting more as time goes on, and I'd like to explore more modification for myself too. Currently I have, six helix [three per ear], four three [lost one at The Misfits/Balzac show] horizontal nipple [one left, two right], one vertical labret, and one navel for piercings. Something I Love about modification is one can mark their body for a very personal reason, something that is only that persons.

I tend to be one of those people who dress out there a lot. Although sometimes you'll just find me in pajama pants and a large shirt. I dress with how I feel at the moment, which changes all the time so I look different a lot. I Love taking something I wear and turning it into something new, I do this with just about everything. I enjoy taking safety pins, scissors, beads, lighters, paint, or anything else to my clothes. I take things like beer caps to make into buttons and pop tabs to make into accessories or other things I can wear. I sometimes make clothes from scratch, but I'm a novice when it comes to sewing, so I really just need more practice.

Over the past while I've become more aware of how I spend my money and where it goes. So I tend to be cautious where I buy things. I normally just shop at thrift stores and small businesses due to the fact I know directly where my money is going. Many thrift stores in my town uses the money directly for things like the seniors or the hospital. I'm not saying every corporate company is evil, or uses the money it makes wrongly, and I do buy things sometimes from corporations. It's very hard trying to figure out where my money goes, and therefore I usually just stick with thrift and small businesses.

My beliefs have been developed from my heart, and life experiences. I believe in Love, and it tends to be the biggest part of my beliefs. From Love stems, my beleifs in forgiveness, peace, nonviolence, learning, creativity, fairness, and so on. Love is what I look to for motivation, and what I appreciate in life. Although my beliefs tend to be looked at different from a lot of concrete Religions and ways of life, I have nothing against anyone’s beliefs. I really have nothing against people, I don't hate people, I find it quite hypocritical. With most things I do spawning from my beliefs I tend to be a very compassionate and caring person. Caring for people is something I like doing. I like helping people and I am open to anyone and everyone, their ideas, beliefs, and feelings.

I enjoy educating people in anything I'm knowledgeable in if they ask. So please feel free to ask me anything, about myself, my art, modification, anything.
Enjoy your stay.

I would like to see said pants and newly decorated jacket. They sound interesting.

Well thank-you very much for your concern.

My nipples are doing much better now that the infection has bleed all out, same with my ear which was nearly healed before the show on Thursday. And my scrapes and bruises will be fine, nothing to worry about :aww:
I'm definitely not careful at shows, or at least not careful for myself in a physical manner. I just Love the intensity of a good circle or pit even if they hurt sometimes. I'd rather break something at a show having a good time rather then just stand there at a show :giggle:
Although I'm sure no one would ever let something as bad as that happen.
:icongimpykitty:
ah. okay. I must have missed the "just" part. Makes sense now.

Alright. Ha. I shouldn't get my hopes up, cause that could be a while away. XD But alright.

It just goes to show how much one word can changed the entire sentence.

Well, I just looked for you on MSN now and didn't see you on. Sometime hopefully before the weekend, cause I'm off too camp on the weekend.
:icongimpykitty:
yeah, no kidding.

well, thats because I have a normal sleep pattern. XD I'm not on at midnight like you. :] But yes, hopefully.

hey! I'm not that bad with my sleep patterns. I just have to get up a bit later since I have no first period and in doing so I go to bed usually between 11:30-12:30am.
