Day 5: The Eye?

Here's some more spray paint action for ya. It's painted on cardboard, about 3' x 3'. I painted the whole thing red, pink, and purple plaid a long time ago, and just now decided to finish it. Well, it's kind of finished. I ended up just masking off a design and spraying it black with white flecks. It almost looks like outer space. Gnarly. Speaking of, I think I'll be doing a space painting one of these days. Check out this site... Space Paintings I'd like to try my hand out at something similar to that. We'll see.

Sprayed black w/ white flecks



Uhh....yup!

Day 4: Procrastination.

Today....I did nothing. zip. zero. nada.

I didn't have class today, and I have a project that's due tomorrow. It's a video project that I was supposed to film last month, and then edit this month. The thing is, I've started over on this project 3 different times. And each time, I decided that the project was going to suck, so I gave up on it, and started with something new. I think my problem is that when I know that something isn't going to turn out the way I want it to, I lose motivation and inspiration to work on it. I hate finishing something just to finish it. If it's not going to turn out the way I want it to, I would rather not finish it at all.

What sucks even more is that now I have all of these sweet ideas for video projects which I could have filmed last month, but it's too late. I'm stuck with crappy footage and no place to go with it. Call it bad planning on my part. I can't wait for this month to be over!


Getting back up tomorrow,

Day 3: WAR! part 2

So, I finished my painting today. As you can see, it's all made using spray paint and masking tape. As far as a meaning behind it...I would like to say that I had this big underlying theme to it, but I don't. I just feel like pieces of art that pertain to war have more power to them or something. It's like the images are stronger and can be more powerful since everyone can relate to war in some way. For good or bad.

Personally, I think people should fight for what they believe in. And if you have to go to war to defend what you believe in, then do it! We all need to stop being such pansies when it comes to standing up for ourselves, our families, our countries, our beliefs, OUR FAITH. (maybe I'm just speaking for myself there)



Here's a crappy picture of the final version... (speaking of, would anyone like to donate to the "Buy Aaron a Digital Camera Fund"? It's for a good cause)



Thanks for reading,

Day 2: WAR! part 1

Here's an acrylic/spray painting that I started today. Sorry to Lauren Conger, I painted over our tree masterpiece for this one. It's not that I didn't LOVE our painting...I'm just too poor/lazy right now to go buy another canvas.



The final piece should be up tomorrow.

Ciao,

Day 1: Random Sketch from Class

I realize that this is a pretty lame post, but it'll do. The first is just a sketch that I was messing around with in class today. The other two are from my first couple of months at Full Sail. Enjoy.

Stupid Horse.


Sad Clown.
(i think he's sad because his nose is cracked, and his eyes are lopsided)


Talking Hand.



See ya tomorrow,

30 Days of Blog! (starts tomorrow)

...because my older brother isn't the only one who has the ability to blog everyday for thirty days straight. (and because I'm a huge slacker and need a little bit of motivation)

Kept Stanky,

How you know school has taken over your life....

This is pretty funny.

The past two months I've taken two classes dealing with Flash Actionscript. (see post below...did i mention it's the coolest game ever?) Anywho, basically, Actionscript is the scripting language that you use inside of Flash to create flash games and websites and applications. Now, I've come to the realization that actionscript has engulfed my life. Let me explain...

A couple mornings ago, after a long night of working on this website for thunderground, I woke myself up with actionscript. Sounds weird, I know. But have you ever had a dream that transitioned into reality? I have. In this case, I think that I was halfway between conscious and unconscious, and that's when the code started running through my head. The code flew by very fast in my head and read something a little like this....

mind.addEventListener(Event.WAKE, setupBack);

function setupBack (e:Event):void {
var back:Back = new Back();
back.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, updateBack);
addChild(back);
}

function updateBack (e:Event):void {
if (back.itches == true) {
wakeUp();
ScratchBack();
}
}

function wakeUp (e:Event) {
mind.conscious == true;
}

function ScratchBack(e:Event) {
arm.x = back.x;
}

Now of that probably makes sense to anyone, but just go with me here. Obviously, this exact code didn't run through my head when I was waking up. It all happened very fast, but it was something very similar to it. So after that code ran, I immediately woke up and I had this intense itch in the center of my back.

It was just really crazy. I was a little freaked out by the whole thing. So what's the moral of the story? I guess there isn't one. I just have really weird dreams sometimes and I'm a HUGE nerd. I'm sorry if you took the time to read this.
