Bollocks...

Journal Entry: Fri Jul 31, 2009, 12:15 AM


As of late ...


I am the world's biggest idiot.

I've been working hard on my zombie burlesque dancer. But I made the fatal mistake of tilting the overhead projector forward when projecting her onto my painted background. It didn't lool so obvious when she was just chalked in, but as I started filling her in with colour it became more and more obvious just how hideously big her head was compared to her body. I'm thining, hey what the hell? I look at the drawing and it looks beautifully proportionate and then looked back at the painting ... and I realised.

I threw a mini self hate tanty, cried and bit and had a whine and a moan. I didn't know whether to throw the whole thing in or try rectify it. Greazefest is on Sunday. Hell I'd be so far behind. I decided to get up and attack the canvas with a damp cloth. To my utter surprise the zombie girl disappeared in front of my eyes, leaving minimal damage to the blended backdrop. Hallelujah! Is there a god?

So I'm having to rework the background a tad to repaint the white spots where the paint has come off and just get the remainders of zombie blue/grey out of it. But other than that, if I work through the night and keep at it I might just get it done in time. Here's to hoping *fingers crossed*

Now back to work!

When I bugger something up, I always look someone right in the eye and say "Well?! It's hard to be smart and pretty."

Is that your answer for everything?! :P

"Hey man, I need another 10 cents from you"
"Well?! It's hard to be smart and pretty."

LMAO. No.. sometimes my answer is.. there's nothing wrong with laughing at yourself. It's especially handy in times of adversity. I figure life is always going to throw shit at you, and it will normally hit you right in the eye. You can either curl up into a ball, or just look it back fair square in the eye and laugh. I've made a lot of mistakes in my life. I choose to laugh.

Yeah I see where you're getting at. Better to laugh and learn from it than waste time being miserable about it. :) I'm glad I made that choice in the end though because I had fun all day and was not overly tired. I had my little paintings anyway so it was good!
