The HellBlog!

It’s actually kinda funny…kinda…

I like Feist. I like Sesame Street. Put the two together … well … yay!

I was feeling kinda bummed out, when I found this on The Bust Blog, and it cheered me right up! I had a feeling it was only a matter of time before they thought of using this song to teach kids to count…

Also, on the subject of Sesame Street, and learning to count, anyone remember that adorable little kid named John John? Usually he seems to like counting, but in this video he’s trying to council Bert, who is acting a little bipolar.

So, I’m past feeling unmotivated. That isn’t a problem anymore, I have some motivation, even if it is only a very small amount. The problem now is every time I try to do something there’s this really mean voice in my head that keeps telling me I suck at everything, I always will, and there’s no use in trying.

Me: “I just got this really cool image in my head that I feel like dra…”

Bitchy Voice In My Head: “Nope! You can’t draw, you suck! And so do all of your ideas.”

[sad face]

Sometimes I’ll draw something, and I’m actually really happy with the result. Other times I hate how something turns out, and when that happens I feel like giving up completely.

So, I guess in a roundabout way, I’m saying at the moment it’s down to confidence. Well not just that. I can’t seem to come up with good ideas on the spot either. Aren’t “creative” people supposed to be good at that sort of thing?

Remember that 8 foot Alice in Wonderland project I posted last year? That assignment was late. I went through a few ideas before I settled on that one. 4 that I can remember, one of them being a different version of the Alice in Wonderland theme. But I remember all the ideas I tried before I finally got it right actually seemed like pretty good ideas, but I was having trouble executing them I guess. Nothing was turning out the way it looked in my head, which often seems to be the case.

My favorite radio show “This American Life” is having a t-shirt designing contest, and I can’t even come up with anything. I suck. I’m not creative. Maybe I should just quit studying art and go to librarian school.

UPDATE: Okay, so I guess I have an idea now, but the question is can I actually get it to look good on paper?

SplashCast isn’t working properly.

Check out the video here!

I saw the new Hellboy movie on the weekend, and I liked it.

That’s all there is to it.

I liked this movie. It was visually appealing and well directed.

The dialog could have used some work, and it seemed a little corny at times, but I truly enjoyed watching this movie. Especially the scene where Hellboy and Abe get drunk and talk about women….it made me LOL…

Go check it out, at least for the drunk talk about women, if nothing else..
