The Acoustic Membrane

AN ART THING?

Journal Entry: Wed Mar 12, 2008, 7:10 PM

DOES YOUR HEED MESS UP TOO?

I find that if I'm not painting, I get anxious, paranoid and agitated.
I find that painting seems to stimulate all of the necessary boxes in my head.
I feel calm and contented.
It's almost like my brain is a pet and I must look after it well, exercise regularly and keep it interested. Doh, that sounds obvious, but I know what I mean.
It's so demanding though. Like the Border Collie of brains.
Either that or I'm seriously messed up.
Maybe I am. I do quite enjoy talking to myself and the dogs.
Not to mention the odd things I find myself doing on ocassion, in my imaginary world, but then I just end up laughing my ass off, so what the hell.
Who made the rules anyway?
Not really sure what this is about anymore. I'm on a break from painting and I got bored.
Tatty bye.

I would have to agree. Though i usually draw more than i paint, i find it very relaxing behind a brush. Though the smell definitely gets to me after awhile. XD

Same thing. I just meant anything creative really.
I don't have a prob with the smell. I use cheap o' cheap household turps substitute. Mainly because I'm skint, but it don't seem to smell that much, or does it? Maybe that's why my head wanders? Mmmmmm?

Yep, Im the same. If I get art block or something I start going mad. I NEED art as much as I need to eat or breathe.

Very well could be XD just kidding.
I use terpentine and the more expensive oil paints. I dont paint with oil much so they last me forever. not painting oil for over three years and then spending 3 or so hours straight working with them... yeah, there was a bit of throbbing goin on

I'm the same when I find my writing groove. When I cant get anything down it's frustrating, but on those few occasions when I cant stop writing... heavenly bliss.

i find that if i don't paint/draw a lot i get the same way- then when i do finally paint it usually comes out overly detailed and fucked up. I call these pics 'throw up' drawings cause its like i puked it up like some sort of hair ball. If you look in my gallery , note the crazy detailed ink drawings..these are my Throw Up Drawings. Whats really fun is they are popular! I am always striving for 'simple' art- to just capture a mood or a movement- yet i have to get out the desire to draw a thousand scales- feathers-hairs and what not first! LOL!
