Lady-de-Sade

I revisited my old deviantart page from frosh year (I'm not going to tell you the name of it if you don't already know...it's kinda embarrassing) and wow.  I am quite different.  My style is quite different.  I guess it's a good thing I'm not trying to be "creepy" any more.  Maybe a time will come when the result of how I express myself will creep people out, but I'm a genuinely happy person so I don't want to create art that essentially lies about who I am or how I feel.  Not saying that "creepy" art is a lie, not at all.  I love it, especially when it seems to be an expression of the artist him/herself.  I just personally don't have that sort of "flair".  Granted I haven't done much creating of "art"...it's mostly been assignments and stuff and I don't think I'm actually an artist, I just like painting and stuff.  I need to get on that.  I should start actually doing expressive art rather than just assignments and bullshit.  But then when do I actually have time for that... maybe in college.  Fingers crossed.

There should be more stuff to come in the near future; my teacher has to take pics for my AP portfolio anyways so you'll get to see a few more pieces soon.  Yay!  Btw the cross-hatching one I posted is from way back a while ago.

I don't hate cross-hatching after all!  I just hate it when it's of a boring subject (such as bottles).  But I really like using it in my current concentration piece.  This one that I'm working on is somewhat similar to my last concentration piece (with the red lips and the rib cage thingie) but I think you guys will like it anyways.  I know I already like it and it's not even done yet

...I hate cross-hatching.  I can't describe how much I dislike it.  You'll probably get to see the monstrosity that was my cross-hatching project.

I would love to get my teacher to make a CD of the stuff I've done.  I got two more things over and done with, but I want to get quality pictures of them (not the crappy, unflattering quality of the photos I have up right now).  Perhaps I'll use the college excuse  "Oh, some colleges need digital, not slides."  Simple enough.  We'll see...I'll keep all two of you who may or may not be reading this posted on what happens.
