Esotropiart

Woah, zesty title, eh!? Yes. Whoopty-do.

I just remembered I intended to append that Mechanical Pencil post with a testimony about last Sunday's church service. Oops! I forgot. Now that I remember, I simply gotta say it.

Last Sunday everyone was invited to draw with some simple art implements on a big table at church - yes, during the service! WOW! Is that cool or what?! Why aren't you going to Ethnos? :) Yup, when I was a kid, I was the king of drawing. Now I suck royally, but I was a genius in my day... or at least that's what all those compliments from adults made me feel like! In all honesty, I've never been that great. Any skill I have is from ridiculous amounts of practice... and by practice, I mean worthless doodles. Seriously - I could prove it if you looked at my early drawings! (or just take a look at my galleries, which include many of those! HA! Bet you didn't know the purpose of this web site was to show everything I've EVER done! Yep... but I have a long way to go... need to scan thousands of junks in).

Looking back, I can honestly say that my drawing almost assuredly stared in church - or thereabouts. It's the primary reason much of my artwork is either 1) totally senseless, or 2) divinely inspired :) Huh? What a combo! Yup. Most of the time I feel like I can't do anything at all artistically. Then all-of-a-sudden I feel empowered to change the world with art, a gift to be able to create. You could accurately say this very web site wouldn't exist at all if I didn't doodle in church. Story of my life. I've always understood art as a gift from God. If only I had such powers to create beautiful things like He does. Yet it's good that my skills are weak. For His power is perfected in weakness, eh? Yup.

So yeah, I was wishing I was one of those adults around the table last Sunday. But the table was too full. And as I mentioned before, I haven't had a mind to do anything artistic lately, much less something inspirational. But I'm feeling quite a bit more revived after getting that new Papermate Pro Touch II 0.5mm Mechanical Pencil. Woo hoo! Watch out world, here I come!

As you can see, my skills are honed to perfection and haven't lost their charm over the years - this "Beethoven Calls Me Custard Movies" is my latest creation. Hot off the press...ure of my prized Papermate Pro Touch II 0.5mm Mechanical Pencil! Don't you lecture me about which side of the hand the thumb goes on... I learned that a long time ago... the answer is: it doesn't really matter.

I got a dog, and her name is Breta! She's half Brazilian, just like my nose.

I can hardly stand having to explain myself... but for those who don't know me too well... I'm not quite insane... I just like to look the part sometimes... with blank stares and very silly things... oooo... it's Wordnesday again, like dancing wiffle ball supreme! Weeee! The primary annoyance is having to Google everything I come up with, to make sure it isn't somehow suggestive! Man it sucks to have to change my ideas sometimes!
