Hindu art

#nowplaying "Grain of Salt" by the Morning Benders

So I'm taking a humanities class on the religions/philosophies of eastern Asia, and right now we're learning about Hinduism.  Looking at all the pictures in the textbook, it struck me that Hindu art is a great source for... for that one word that I can't really think of right now [argh]. 

I have no idea which gods/goddesses I did or did not include or what their stories are, but they sure do look cool!

Art project

I usually don't attempt to produce any visual art, seeing as how I'm a total and completely inept fail at it.
However, I was so bored this afternoon (and no, I didn't do my homework) that I tried something my cousin taught me a few years ago, which is to draw on Watercolor paper and paint in the color.

Here are the elements of inspiration:

Sasu and Kami, who I found on Giant Robot. [link]

The fireplace wall in my living room.

Please pay special attention to the phonograph:

Who's been influencing me a lot lately

Thank you Giant Robot for the feature. [link]

And of course my ties to the piano.

Here's the progress of what I've done so far:

I left off here before calling it a night and will be picking up next Friday (because college classes between now and then won't permit me any free time to do something I like).

YES, I see the flaws. I will try to fix them, but if I can't... then well this is the best I can do anyway.  For some reason, the only hand-eye coordination I possess is with piano playing.. and that's mostly tactile memory anyway.  Why do I spend such a long time blogging about something that's not very great in the first place? I don't know. It's summer and I'm a teenager.  These things just happen.

Well my brother and his family is in town on vacation, plus I didn't do any of my homework yet, so I've got to go to sleep sometime or later for "tomorrow".  Ciao now, and I hope you enjoyed.  I'll leave you with some music.

List for not having anything to do

So a friend of mine was bored and asked for some "instant gratification" (twss!)
I linked him to some stuff, and realized that I was coming out with a pretty good playlist.

Here, enjoy some:

Watch the movie I'm Not There and/or some Bob Dylan interviews on youtube.

IMDb site

Read this story I found on Mibba: Where Wild Things Grow.

Check out artist Ines Estrada.

Documentary:

Read a twisted manga, Tsumi to Batsu (aka A Falsified Romance)

Link: Mangareader

Link: Mangafox 

Over-simplified Description: Struggling author Miroku finds real life inspiration.

Warning: If this was a movie, it would be rated R for violence, gore, and nudity.

Read Dr. Frost, for something light-hearted but still psychologically stimulating.

Here is a trailer I made para tu:

Watch the anime Steins Gate and share your theories on what the heck is happening.

Link: Anime Freak TV

I'm on Episode 4. No spoilers, puh-lease!

I believe it is based on a game, so for further activities to do when you're bored, go find the game and play it. Then share it with me so I can play it too (^__^)

Check out the artwork of Katelyn Alain.

That's all for now folks.  Yes, this is really the kind of stuff I do in my spare time.  Besides cooking up conspiracy theories and being pretty rad.

For everyone who went to the Giant Robot concert thingy with Goh Nakamura last night and/or are going to the Pasadena concert with the Morning Benders (on at 3 pm today):

  I HATE YOU.

Just thought you should know that.

Good night, all! Nice talkin' with ya!

Btw, thanks to my sister I've been paranoid about getting carpal tunnel syndrome.  And my hands have been numbing up at the base of my palm a lot lately, too. Shoooot...

I've become a twitter-a-holic again.  That may or may not be something to celebrate.

Recently found out the amazingness that is American tanka.  Will post a few of my own attempts on my writing blog, Wanochi, later.

Peace outto.

Screw Life

Because we never had a chance in the first place.
I finally see what my teacher meant by "The youth will always try to live to their ideals".
I always thought that's what everyone did.
Woops, there goes my idealistic thinking again.

Idealistic and stupid. The two words that describe me best.

Hurrah for MS Paint.

Well yesterday was weird, then awesome, then rad, then boring, then downright terrible.
Apparently, if I get too detailed, I'm going to get my laptop taken away. Because certain people are stalking me on the internet. Oh, and if I get too detailed, someone else will find it and everything will be revealed and then Oh no! there goes my life chances.  As if I had any to begin with.

So because I can't do friggin' shit, why don't you enjoy my plagiarized drawings?

Either inspired by or just directly copied from certain Giant Robot features. I don't have the energy to look right now. Hurrah for laziness and plagiarism! Two major plagues of this generation. Or every generation. Who gives a damn to find out.

I've been reading lotsa manga and watching lotsa anime and stealing lotsa screen pics and making lotsa edits to 'em.  Will post later, since some of them aren't half bad (humor wise).

Remember people: you never had a chance. Give up now.

Oh, and I'm on Summer Break. For two days, because I'm taking college classes starting Monday.
