So, I painted a self-portrait last night for my final painting class of this semester. I have several other paintings that I've done this semester that I haven't posted, but I will do so soon.
This one took me about three hours. The most difficult part was the eye and making the eyes, nose and mouth take the viewer's eye away from the flat expanse of neck.
I'd love to recieve any questions or comments.

My modeling gig
Here's a picture of me at my first modeling gig. BTW. That's not me in the yellow dress.

If only I were this lucky with women
So, I went to the Ghostland Observatory show last night. I started off the night by eating two slices at Hoboken Pies and then I sat at Bull McCabe's waiting for this girl I sold a ticket to to show up. The girl shows up and happens to be a really hot British chick who recently moved here. She said she hoped to see me inside. We texted back and forth a couple times after that, but I never saw her.
While at Bull McCabe's I shared a table with a couple of random people who turned out to be really cool. We hung out at the show.
While leaving the bathroom at Stubb's, I found two unused tickets on the ground. I held them up and asked if anyone had dropped them and no one replied, so I headed outside and sold them for $60. So, the next round was on me.

Fun Fun Fun Fest 08
I had triple the fun this weekend with three days of craziness. Friday started out with the Austinist Local Music Is Sexy party at the Mohawk.
Hung out with T.J. of Foot Patrol and listened to him play piano for a while. Stumbled to Emo's to see Diplo to stumble right back to The Mohawk.
I'm not sure if I saw any bands on Saturday at Fun Fun Fun Fest. I do know that I drank at least 4 Foster Oil cans,3 Miller Lite tall boys, 1 Dox Equis and 1 Heineken. I think I may have seen the Dead Milkmen, Trail of the Dead, Deerhoof, Swinging Utters and YACHT.
The afterparty was at the Mohawk. Then headed to Creekside to see a coworker's band, Babydick. The night ended at Bull McCabe's.
Sunday, I was tired of drinking so I watched Spinto Band, Annuals, Islands, St. Vincent and Bouncing Souls. On my way out, I ran into Annie Clark of St. Vincent. I should have made my move then.
On the way to the show Saturday, Rob and I called a cab to come pick us up. When the cabbie pulled up we saw two other guys trying to flag our cab down. We asked if they wanted to share our cab. The driver started yelling at us, "No, No, NO..their cab is waiting over there on Windsor street."
So the driver goes around the corner and sees that the driver on Windsor has already left, so he goes back to pick up the guys. We get about a block from where we're going so we ask the guy to let us out. We say we want to split it with these guys, but they only have a credit card. He says he can't do credit cards, so we try to give him cash. For some reason, the driver is so pissed at this point, he just tells us to get out without paying.

We had a really hot model today
So, I painted this in my painting class today. We had a nude model and she was really hot. At least hot compared to the last model we had. So yeah, I think it turned out pretty well. I can see some touching up that needs to be done. Her boob seems to be way lighter than the rest of her body. It was, but not as light as it appears in this photo. Anyway, tell me how much you love it.
