The Scourge

2 min read
so with another semester of university behind me i get to be creative again. all of my courses this semster are hands on rather than paper based so YAY!

plus i am returning to the acting world. so several years away from acting what part do i land......CLUNY THE SCOURGE!!!!! yes cluny the scourge the giant evil sea rat from Redwall. i will be playing him in the evelyn swensson musical based on the first book. a local company is putting it off at the Reid theatre. it is probobly the first time where my size actualy HELPED me get a role. so there will be a cluny that actualy IS giant. and as a plus im pretty good at Rope dart so i will actualy beable to fight with his tail weapon, and maybe even make it look impressive. im haiving so much fun with this. i mean he is a classic character. i mean there is fan art and fanfiction out for this guy. so not only is this my first major role, and first musical, but its my first villian as well. the play is a little lighter then the books, but we are going to bring some of the darker elements back into it. should be fun.

it has been so long since i uploaded any artwork. i realy should soon. i will have time to be creative again this semester.

24 hour art marathon weekend was wicked. I had so much awesome sleep deprived fun. I didn't enter after but I was volunteering and I got to be creative just the same. So without further adeu I shall begin the run on sentence now:

did a little drawing and painting[1] Hung out with a lot of my favorite people, met a lot of cool new people, saw lots of awesome art, had my meat read, got a little further in my studies of the Tarrot[2],  spun a little fire, heard some good music, saw a half naked dancing covered in molassis[3] taught somebody to juggle, hung out with my favorite and extremely talented cousin[4] who I never see anymore, became a shining beacon of justice and not bringing your beer bottles outside, saw a fist fight on George street, helped run an auction while trying to stay awake after more than 24 hours without sleep, and danced with the hottest girl I know.

The art marathon is my New Years. I guess it is my intelectual and creative New Years When it rolls around everything I have been woking on all year is over, and new things begin. Plus staying out all night with over tired or drunk(or both) artists. I look forward to it every year. It always marks something special for me, and it is an awesome way to end the summer.

So what is the universe going to show me now?

[1]I highly enjoy painting, but I'm not that good at it. I'm better at drawing than I am at Painting and im only ok at drawing. I do however plan on remedying this with practice and hopefully classes at some point.
[2] Im currently looking at the horsemen. By the horsemen I mean the 4 knights, the Sun and the 6 of wands. I made a lot of progress with my studies, but I will write about my it later.
[3] I liked Jills quote about this act. "It may have been art, but you're cleaning it up now!"
[4] I really wanted to bid on his piece, but it quickly went out of my price range.

Yay! I got accepted into the Newfoundland Arts and Letters Competition. I didn't win anything but my art work will be displayed in the exhibition, so they sent me a shiny 50$ hanging fee check. Very nice, and just as I was broke, so good timing too. Its good to have some good news. I got some good and interesting comments on my artwork as well.

So im going to have my art work hanging in The Rooms from May 6th to the 28th! Not bad for my first time entering. So yay good news and a 50$ check. The prize would have been cool, but hey, good news is good news and it's a start.

the picture i submitted was a slightly fixed up version of this one www.deviantart.com/deviation/8…

haven't been on here in ages. I miss this place.

so I posted a couple of new photo manipulations. one I did earlier tonight, the other I have had sitting on my hard drive for a month or so.

so what have I been up too? well, Mostly I have been designing puppets. kind of my new project. im having fun with it. im starting the building stage now. I even made my friend a birthday gift. sewing is a lot more fun then it sounds.

I got some bad news lately, and a bunch of my summer plans have kinda of fallen through, though that hardly compares to what is really on my mind now. basically other than a few highlights im having a really shitty month.

anyway, I look forward to posting some more new stuff soon.

i realy should post some new stuff soon. i scanned in a lot lately, but i havn't chosen what to post yet. also classes started up again now, but i have alot of time between classes, and other than my japanese philosophys and religions class, it looks like it is going to be a rather boring semester.

im also working on a possible novel, and im realy excited about it.  I think i might post a few chapters of it when i get more written, so far all i have is a rough prologue, and a few random lines for future chapters. but i am very excited. i need to do more wrighting.
