Now that I think about it, I should start signing my work at the front. I normally do not like to sign my paintings, because I find that it ruins the aesthetics. I prefer to sign the back of the canvas. Still, some douche can easily remove that portion and then write their name on it. I guess I should find a clever way of signing the work in a way that I do not find it annoying. Till them, I know that this was painted by me. I took the first photo of it when it was completed. I...

This is my latest painting and the like. I had a few canvas panels and the like. I decided to finally try painting on a canvas and I must stay that it was a bit different. I do not know if there is something wrong with my canvas or what, but it was somewhat annoying. Still, I pushed on, and then I was able to produce something of worth. All commercial canvases come with gesso, so they are ready to paint. The surface of this canvas was a little blocky, so, when I added the paint, it looked a bit...

The owner was complaining about the dog, and how much he hated it. Mother on a whim said that if he did not want it, she would take it. This is how we ended...

This is a self portrait I made using my acrylic set. I drew this based on an old photo I had lying around somewhere. My uncle when he visited brought a bunch of old photos to tug at my heart string. This photo was included in the set. Needless to say, it did not work. He is a douche, but he is my mom’s brother. As such, I had to be polite to the bastard. Frankly, if I saw him in the street I would not recognize him. I only putted up with him because I used to play with...
