....Moving, My Poster Dilemma, and Paintings....

I AM FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE MOVING AWAY FROM HOME. Unforeseen events have led to the culmination of my entire family moving out of our house and into more affordable digs. I am moving in with my Sisser (My best friend of 10 years who'd be insulted if I called her my friend) and her husband, who also means the world to me. It's fucking scaring me retarded, let me tell you. I'm very excited to be finally getting out on my own in some way, but at the same moment I will miss my Mom very much. I think what I'll miss most is having her there to talk to. A lot of crazy shit went down and I fucking hate it.
Anyway, moving is bringing up some issues. FIRST on the menu is my closet. It's fucking stuffed with crap. It's mostly old clothes and crap from my old room. I miss that room. It was huge. It was also yellow and covered in Backstreet Boys posters at one point. SECOND is my posters. I have an Isaakwall , it's fucking insane and covered from end to end, and also leaks off onto the next wall. All my Stevie posters barely went up a few months ago and have go down now.

My paintings are all on canvas and heavy as hell. Mostly....I'm just exhausted thinking about it.

Which brings me to the fact that I'm working on two commissions and one painting for fun. My first commission comes from my Sisser who wanted a Bioshock painting of a Little Sister and Big Daddy about to harvest someone. She's pretty in love with Bioshock. The end result should look like this:

But probably not because my work is so matter of fact. There's really not much mystery. The colours are very solid. The last painting I did was of the CI Man it came out pretty good actually, and it was the first time I'd really done a lot of shadow and light. I was pretty happy with myself. I usually am when I'm done. I think I'm a good painter. NOT GREAT or fucking Frida Kahlo. I will NEVER be Frida. I like to think in my own way I'm doing something good. It makes me happy.

I've done a few other commissions, one of Bruce Springsteen for my buddy Melissa, another of Adam Lambert for my buddy Caleb, and a painting of my friend Brian which he requested. It's going pretty good, but the thought of moving is making me tired because I have a lot of stuff. I know I can handle it thought, I'm pretty good at adapting.

OH WELL!! Another chapter.
