gorgeous!

I don't know where and when I'd go to if I had one. And the temptation would be so great, but I've watched enough science fiction to know that sometimes time travel isn't such a good idea. Unless you're Doctor Who, which I, sadly, am not.

Hey Thanks very much,

you've got some great work in your gallery. i really like the Uzumaki image. the darkness of the spirals against the textured backround looks very cool.

i know there's the whole paradox issue with time travel, which is a bummer, but if the machine worked i'd be gone!!...lol. maybe there'd be some invisibility clause so anyone traveling in time can't be seen or touch anything. it wouldn't be as much fun but it could help to alleviate the paradox problems i'd start by going back a hundred years and see my house being built then move outward and backwards from there. it'd be cool to see some ancient cities being built. like Baal Bek or Angkor wat or the pyramids. the cool places in time to check out are endless ain't they. where would you go?

i will get back to you on this later. i am tired an loopy, and all I can think to say is that I'd use the time machine to go somewhere where I could sleep a long time, and that is hardly interesting.

p.s. thanks for the on Uzumaki. I really appreciate that.

thanks, I did... all 14 hours of it! Wow, I haven't slept that much in ages. guess i needed it.
ANyway... where would I go... Probably San Francisco in the late 60's. I've always wanted to hang out with real hippies. There's a million other places and times I would probably want to go, but sometimes I really think that there's no better time than the present...

wow 14 hours. you musta been tired!

yeah you're right about there being no better time than the present and i guess it's easy to romanticize the past when in fact some of it was very likely kinda shitty. i know if i went back a hundred years to see my house being built, the vilage where i live would be full of very poor people looking for work in coal mines the or smelting works or brick factories. it would have been dirty, grimey and smoggy and far removed from my romantic view of it. not a very cool time to live if you're poor that's for sure. but lets be honest if either of us had a time machine we'd be gone!!...hehe....you'd be hanging with the hippies listening to ravi shanka and i'd be down a mine diggin coal!

Rilkes-Dream In reply to rubesart [2005-02-05 18:47:44 +0000 UTC]

Its really random, my dad is a locksmith and sometimes he is called in to open abandoned houses before they knock them down, so sometimes he brings really odd things home, (ie a 70's lego collection that was created JUST to build castles, they all looked like they were stone and they had tiny knights and everything.) ad oneday he comes home with these sheets of tin and i used them to make these bare trees and mobiles and all sorts of weird stuff. My dad thought it was cool and got me copper sheet metal so I could soilder it and stuff, I've made a co-co-peli and this sun wall hanging for my boyfriend and his mom respectivly. So I dont really know what I'm doing but its rapidly turning into an obsession.

Therefore you are awesome

that sounds like fun there's nothing quite like using old stuff to make new stuff and these days any amount of recycling is good. i use all kinds of things to make some of my art pieces but the only trouble is, like you said, it can become an obsession and you end up not throwing anything away until there's no room to move, let alone make anything! i'm having this exact problem in my studio right now. so beware! the stuff can take over ..... i wouldn't have it any other way

yeah, I came up with the name after an anime convention. I was gonna do a manga(japanese style comic), but I never got around to it. We did some crazy stuff at the con. Do you watch anime?

rubesart In reply to PockyMafia [2005-02-05 12:15:46 +0000 UTC]

well i like some of the anime stuff that i've seen but, to be honest, i rarely watch it. i don't get the time these days 'cause i'm usually in my studio, covered in plaster or clay or some other crap.

if you got "a-round-tuit" and then made your manga comic would it be hand drawn or digitally produced or a mixture of both?

PockyMafia In reply to rubesart [2005-02-06 10:38:29 +0000 UTC]

well, it would be hand drawn, and probabbly colored in photo shop, or maby just colored pencils. If I get a tablet soon it would be all hand drawn, but into the computer. It's like $100 for just a small one, thats of good quallity. But, for now I should atleast do some sketches, if im gona do it at all. If I actually did it, I probabbly wouldnt waste that much time though, the idea of the comic was to illistrate all the fun and crazy stuff that happens at anime conventions. Until then, I should probabbly work on my style a little more, but I get so mixed up. I have no one favorite style, I like more traditional stuff, and some macabre, and I also like Anime, I also love american comic book style. I also love to do clay, and acrylics. But, I guess its good to be diverse. We're doing clay right now, in art class. I'll have to upload the pics when im done.

rubesart In reply to PockyMafia [2005-02-07 21:20:27 +0000 UTC]

Well my advice would be to just keep drawing as much as you can. that way the styles you like will blend into a style of your own. it's all about doing it and not worrying about it too much and, as they say, practice makes perfect.

show the clay pics when they're done.

One of my peices will be done as soon as I get the glaze fired, and one still needs to be bisque fired, and the third needs painting and all the rest. But im gona have the pics of my paintings in soon, she's got them on her computer, but she doesnt know how to send them on email.
Yeah, I just talk more than I actually care, about drawing and art. Im not to broken, I do perty much blend american and anime style stuff usually. I'm not verry good at the really stylized anime, but I try some times. Hehe, here I go rambling on again. I'm bored. Do you like CAKE? The band?
