art talk

「将来はたぶん大丈夫」

In the past, I used to be intimidated by artwork.
In the past, I might have been discouraged, constantly comparing my art to other's work, always feeling disappointed.
Now, rather than feeling discouraged, I am learning to take these feelings, and turn them into inspiration.
Be inspired. That is some very helpful, yet simple, advice I keep close to my heart to remind myself, at times of uncertainties, to constantly create.

advice from the heart

Something I have been working on every so often, whenever I get a chance to take a break from my studies.
But winter break is so close, and I fear I am becoming lazy...
冬休みは来週始める！ただ、今はゴロゴロしたいよ。。


An evening stroll, looking at the christmas lights. But it was too cold. I didn't want to take my hands out of my pockets.
寒い天気はあまり好きじゃないけど、光は美しい。

Stay warm!!

the macabre works of 'Colette Saint Yves'

BOO! It's getting closer to Halloween, and I can't wait for the classic movie channel to have it's annual Horror Film Marathon.
Also, episodes of the Twilight Zone start coming on other television channels. Yes, I very much enjoy the spookiness that surrounds Halloween.
If any of you enjoy scary movies, please let me know which are your favorite. I am always in search new horror films.

here are some ghoulish things I have found, as an early tribute to All Hallows Eve

These beautiful, yet haunting, works are done by the collage-video artist, and photographer, Hortense Lagrange aka Colette Saint Yves .
Her works remind me of the eerie band Timber Timbre; both strangely alluring.
I also like that Ms. Colette uses early film stars in some of her collages.

Are these too spooky? Or are you in favor of the spookiness in the season?

you are not dreaming

Vous ne rêvez pas

I'm not sure if I really like it, but I have to start somewhere.
