I've wondered that, forever... Is what I see as blue the same thing you see? And if all the colours are relative to each other... everyone might be seeing something completely different, and no one would KNOW because we have the same name for different things! It's wonderful, it is. That's from my Colour text book. I have a class called Colour Explorations. Clearly, I'm in the right place.
Neighbour update: They're not breaking up anymore, which sucks because I really hate Emma. She got mad at him last night for... oh shoot I can't remember what it was. They were flirting loudly, and suddenly she started crying, and he's like whaaat the heck? And she had some stupid reason, something that he said in they're fake flirt fighting offended her... So dumb. Anyway, tonight it was 'welcome home' sex at like, 6:00, which means they'll probably do it again before the night it through... Oh my GOODNESS this is repulsive.
I'm doing this project, an appropriation of this photo. The project is just appropriation, but I've chosen this... So I'm rethinking the idea of 'beauty' because this photo is sooo glamourous and classically beautiful, and delicate, and all those conventional sort of things... But now, ANYONE can be beautiful, so I'm taking a self portrait that explores 'interesting' as opposed to beautiful. Raw. High fashion. Make you question what's going on, rather than just sit there and have beauty hit you over the head. So I went to Sephora and said, hey, do what you went to school for on my face... And the girl was so excited, everyone goes into that place saying 'make me look natural'... Case in point. So she went to town with purple eyeshadow, blackened my eyebrows, made everything super intense and over the top... We wanted to block out my eyebrows completely, but didn't have the materials... It wasn't until I left that I remembered I had a gluestick in my backpack (holy art school) and we COULD HAVE, but oh well. This looked pretty sweet too. And the looks I got biking home, oh baby. I love drawing attention to myself. I'd much rather be interesting, than beautiful, and I mean that. Anyway, I'm printing off a self-portrait with all of this makeup, and the turban, and putting a couple layers of resin on it, with a chunk of rusty chain link fence replacing the lace... About 18x24. I'm excited to finish it, I'll probably have photos. Also, I just had a shower, and as a sort of experiment, didn't touch my face... Turns out, it's insanely waterproof. Seriously, not a speck of it moved. Impressive, I think it was mostly Makeup Forever... and she AIRBRUSHED ME. It was awesome. As if I was worried about the rain, on my way home...
My neighbour is playing the guitar. I have a love hate relationship with this guy. And check out this site, I might have to start something like this... although he's cleverer than me.
