:fish: GO FISH :fish:



I have an old set of Japanese dishes shaped like various fish, the edge of the tail on one of them chipped off long ago, and ever since has been reconciled among my art supplies. It's funny though, that shallow bowl gets more use then those deemed fit to sit among food and guests.

A watercolor palette also came to my recent attention; underside encrusted in black, remnant paper stuck on top of that -- the disaster of a spilled bottle of India ink from adolescence. I'd always assumed the designer tin ruined, but in fact, hot water and gentle perseverance with steel wool resurrected it. The few silvery scratches left behind only add another memento to the tool's essence.

There is something about art that always feels allegorical, metaphorical, mystical, and foolish. If one has been creating their entire life, the tools of trade also become a tactical trip through time, a deeply personal adventure, and a reminder that in art, mistakes can become strokes of genius. All is not lost.

Any similar tales to tell?

Hey, I moved you to "Members" in the ManStock group because you're not active lately on dA, and you've never submitted anything to the gallery. We were at our limit of Contributors and I had a couple people wanting in, so I had to choose people to demote. If you become active again and wish to be a Contributor again, just let me know and I'll see what I can do :)

Hi, I just read your most recent journal and i think your last paragraph was really deep. To feel art is such a big part of your life and is a big passion of yours is really inspiring. I'm kinda envious of that ;)

And now i know you're a great artist as well as writer, so thanks for all the art and stories you've done :)

Hey, IdolHands(:
Over the summer, a friend and I got addicted to reading Is It Scary, I think we read the whole thing in like three days. We were just wondering if you were working on it or if it's dead? Thanks! :3

Mike called last night asking if you still wanted to illustrate his "What If?..." stories. I told him he should contact you himself. I miss you on LJ and elsewhere.
