Description Jenny in her bedroom, listening to blue beats.

It was fun to fill up the space with the junk of her life. She never has money, so her television is secondhand from a friend. (Lucky for her LOST is on a basic channel.) Her laptop (an iBook G4, natch) was a present from her momma, and the headphones she swiped from an old boyfriend who had aspirations of becoming a sound mixer. Her fondest memory of him is the day he accidentally knocked out one of his front teeth and she took a bunch of goofy Polaroids of him. He could always make her laugh, but he just wasn't the one.

She's been feeling sort of grumpy and blue lately. Ennui, is the word for it. She can't get her mojo going and it's making her moody and sorry for herself. Her boyfriend Jude kind of doesn't know how he's supposed to handle it, but because he's a gentleman and completely in love with her, he just gives her her space. One of the letters on her bureau is from him.

She'll come around once she washes her hair and gets hungry for pizza. It's no fun to eat pizza alone. Plus Jude can really snazz up a pizza. Goat cheese, tomatoes, crumbled up sausage and some good spices and shit that he won't reveal to her. A man's got to have some aces to play.

I'm really digging the overall glow of this picture. Just that warm feeling of security you get when it's just you and the music, hanging out in your underwear.
My "cave music" varies, depending on if I want to snap out of it quickly (usually, Flogging Molly), or if I'm kind of enjoying the melancholy (classical, something without lyrics, or lyrics in a different language).

I like this alot. I like the browns with the white. And really great anatomy. I really like her right leg.
As far as cave music goes I would say Josh Groban, The Birthday Massacre, Vampire Weekend or possibly Gorillaz (but then again I listen to Gorillaz all the time so maybe that doesn't count haha)

hmmm...unfortunately, i dont have a space small enough to satisfy any "cave time" urges, but where i to, i would listen to three bands: TOOL, Android Lust, and the Birthday Massacre. come to think of it, i would love to have a room small enough to sit on my bed and prop my feet up on my wall....and to cram my most used possessions into it...and then i'd invite my gf in and we'd be all cozy and intimate....

wow, i never really realized how much i actually appreciate small (but not too small) spaces until now.

For one reason or another, this I didn't see this in my inbox. Jenny is an inspiration, even when she's feeling blue. You should be proud. When I'm not feeling myself, I just turn on my Pandora radio (I wish I could get it on my phone and have it anywhere..) and listen to all the stations I've collected.

I know I already commented on this piece, but I feel I have to comment again. I've had it up on the computer for a while, doing my work on one computer, looking at this picture on the other. I find it... inspiring, somehow. It is so casual. I love it. I find all your work inspiring and I am so glad you post your beautiful art work on DA so it can be shared with the world. Thank you for being such a beautiful soul and making me want to be beautiful too.

Puffball In reply to ??? [2009-03-11 22:32:46 +0000 UTC]

Finally getting to viewing this thing. The narrative you added in the artist's comments gives even more depth to the picture. I've personally done this before: holed myself up in my room, just me and my undies, my laptop, my headphones, a drink, maybe a snack, and I relax as best I can. It's becoming harder and harder these days cuz more and more things demand my attention.

This is a great reminder to make sure to set aside some "me-time", cuz heaven knows we all need it once in a while.

She looks so relaxed in this - I like how she's so comfortable in her own skin. She seems like a really strong individual. I also like how the light from the computer illuminates her skin. Such a nice touch

When I'm down and out, I listen to VAST, or Coldplay, or Yanni, lol. Something a little mellow.

tpyourcat [2009-03-10 18:44:29 +0000 UTC]

I've been there. This explains the mood I am in sometimes. I just lounge, lay down, put on some massive attack, and, not really relax, just sort of exist. No reading, no games... nothing, just stare, think, remember... I can definately relate. Great pic, I'm looking forward to some cave time right now. Thanks!!

This is beautiful and clean, I love it!

I find that by listening to My Chemical Romance or Gorilliaz I become more relaxed and lose myself to another world. That's my kind of cave time, thought I'm not nearly as comfortable as Jenny.

Fabulous job, your drawings are always beautifully complex, even if they are simple like this. =]

I like, kind of constantly rediscover Gorillaz when I need an artistic pick-me-up. All of Demon Days makes me want to bust out my pencil and paper.
