It seems so easy to go bar hoping when all the bars share the same building..

I was informed of a new way in which to get cheap drinks. By going to the casino they give you three free drinks for playing on their machines ($5 minimum they say, but just walking behind where the tender can see can make that a $1 minimum for three drinks).

I figured out by setting the ISO on my camera up to the highest setting that I can capture pictures in darkened settings, like inside bars at night. Time for some fun to be found with this new knowledge… This helped in me getting some pictures for my photography assignment due tomorrow. Just need three more pictures and one more different camera/lens.

French underworld tattoos at the turn of the century. The man sports a tattooed mustache intended to foil the prohibition of facial hair in the Foreign Legion. The World of Tattoo by Maarten Hesselt van Dinter. I can only dream of being anywhere near that combination of badass and crazy.

Fulya was looking at my sketchbook the other day and remarked that she liked the random sketch that I had made of some girl that I saw walking along with a little plastic cup of coffee during the wind storm a few weeks past. As I still have some small pieces of very good watercolor paper [that I had sized to be used for some small frames I had collected but did not have anything to put in them yet], I thought that perhaps I could transfer a little sketch to a little piece of paper to play with techniques. Namely the layering of water colors. Something that I know I have been working on a lot, but practice makes perfect. I also wanted to see how using my new mechanical pencil filled with blue graphite would work in hiding my lines as I initially worked. I forgot to take a picture of the transition between not having the girl inked at all to inking her and starting the background. I was having a hell of a time trying to figure out a setting in which to put her. At first I was th...

A painting of Jessye drinking wine from the bottle in our Parisian hotel. Hopefully I will be finished by this Thursday for class. I am wanting to do something with the background but I am not too sure what. Perhaps some patterning and playing with painting and then wiping to build up layers of detail.
