Patience/acceptance

I've noticed two small coincidences, within 24 hours, in Dexter and the anime movie Laputa - Castle in the sky, both leading back to the same TV-show! First I noticed that Sam Trammell who plays Sam Merlotte, the bar owner in True Blood is in Dexter Season 1, which explains a lot because I knew that I had seen him before but not from where. Then, today I noticed that Anna Paquin do the voice of Sheeta in Castle in the sky in the English dub, Paquin is also one of the leads of True Blood! Ding dooong!

I think I'm having a bit of a downfall in my blog posting recently, I don't know what to write any more. It's weird, I don't like it.

keep the streets empty for me

Today was slow. I didnt do anything except drawing and watching movies/documentaries. I saw Twilight which was much better than I anticipated. And thats about it. I let my painting and drawing to the talking instead. Laters!


Its not done yet. Gonna add colour n stuff but heres the start anyway.

The night was so long

This post has to be dedicated to Fever Ray. Fever Ray concists of Karin Dreijer Andersson which is half of my favourite music group The Knife and now she just recently came out with a solo album which goes by the name Fever Ray.

It sounds almost exactly like The Knife but maybe a bit slower. But the dark tones and funky beats are still there and the lyrics will just blow you away. The best thing about The Knife and Fever Ray is that its not about the image of the artist, its really more about the music and the art around it. Like their new videos for example. They will probably not be played all the time on MTV but they have a really good artistic value to it which i really respect. Their first video If I had a heart almost doesnt even feature the singer herself, except for a short amount of time where she is wearing tons of make-up to look like a skull. These videos and music inspire me and makes me wanna create create create! Thank YOU Karin Dreijer Andersson!






The pic at the top is an x-ray image of my teeth and jaw that I scanned and made a montage of.

Best artists right now: Fever Ray, Jonathan Johansson, Anna Ternheim and Antony and the Johnssons. Strange enough, all Swedish :D. NOT! Correction from C - Antony and the johnssons are americans! :) What was i thinking?!.. :P

My life in art

I like my classes :) Well most of them anyway. One is gonna be really hard and that is only because we have to do an presentation. I have Landscape photography, Photo history (which includes taking pictures also), Photo journalism and Introduction to drawing. The intro to drawing was really fun coz we painted with ink, pencil and charcoal. We paint really big also which is kinda new for me.

In other news, I really dislike Telstra. Telstra is like one of the biggest telecompanies in Australia but they still have problems finding our apartment and installing a landline. Two times they have gone to the wrong apartment! TWO TIMES! Now we have booked them for a third time which is ridiculous. They claim that them have come by but even though we had our door open the second time, all day and even though we've had people in the living room where the frontdoor is located they havent showed up, or called us even though they have our number.

Soo, the third time they will either fuck us over again, or show up, will be on Tuesday morning. The reason we are getting a landline btw is because we need it to use internet. Forget "två hål i väggen" over here. Perth is like ten years behind or something.

This week we've had like tons of bugs and disgusting stuff. Cockroaches and other evil things have been lurking around our apartment. It's so nasty but i dont know where they are coming from (only two roaches so its not thaaat big of a deal) but i think they've slipped in through our door or balcony. Coz its really clean in our apartment so i dont think its because it would be dirty.

I wish my better half was here so I could get some comforting hugs, huuu dang this place and dang, i miss her alot.

But its not all bad, errr... i like some people here, the weather isnt that bad, Gordon have a water purifier which purifies the nasty water here so thats good, i like our apartment, its cheaper to get around.. and yeah.. cool stuff :P
