Lazriel’s Carnival May 20, 2009

[ME NEWS]
My twitter identity crisis went as follows:
I procured myself a twitter account some time ago because I am a sheep.
I felt like such a tool for a few hours after that.
I then realized the brand identity was actually quite adorable. Also, I love the word “twitter” all by itself.
When typing up my first entry, I couldn’t help but imagine Orxieal** bouncing along a keyboard trying* to type messages.
This image was so cute, it eradicated all tool feelings.
I then later realized that twitter is an awesome service to quickly make notes to myself to not forget things.
I’m so excited at the idea of abusing this and maybe not suffering from my short term memory haha.

In other news, I’ve prepped Anthony (my laptop) up and he’s all ready to be sent off to Acer. Thank goodness I bought that extended warranty.
I’ll probably be even less present online, while he’s gone. Well I’ll still be working on practicing art stuff.

*trying is the key word here
**Orxieal is a Chickadee Angel

[ARTS]
Remember this fun little picture from here? Well while rooting around for something to post up on Deviant Art, I dredged up this guys. Maybe since today seems to be on the topic of memories, I found myself remembering what I had originally thought this picture was about.
It’s a little silly I know, but I have free reign to be as silly as I want with these guys.

Anyway, this is how I think Lazriel sees the carnival at night. Specifically the reflection of the carnival’s lights in the water under the piers. Lazriel is an odd sort of lad who sees things differently than other people do. Nobody’s ever really certain what he’s picturing in that head of his (not even me).

Bonus on Laz’:

Due to a speech impediment his adopted kid (who is a robot – sort of) calls him “ass wheel” also, the bloke is sort of crazy spoiled.

Illustrations for paradise lost May 17, 2008

Illustrations for paradise lost

Haven’t read much of the poem myself, but I plan to. In any case, the link send you to a gallery that shows different (‘older’) artist’s renditions of parts of paradise lost. They are rather interesting since you can see other artistic depictions of famous scenes. I quite like the engravings as well as Westall’s and Tintoretto’s, though they all are worth looking at.

Some mildly funny comments or quotes April 27, 2008

Sometimes I come across something that strikes me as pleasantly amusing. Sometimes, I stumble across the comment again and it’s still funny. My blog was made for convenience, and what’s more convenient than an archive of instances that make me wish i was capable of more wit somewhat funny blurbs ? (Please don’t answer that.)
Like my Tutorials post, I’m just going to update the old post, as opposed to publishing new ones.
