you'll be the death of me.

i'm painting again...though not up to par how i was in school. not sure where this is coming from, maybe i missed the calming, laborious build-up of layers of color.
i still like throwing flashy colors on things in digital, but something about this treatment appeals to a different side of the brain.

I Saw A Totoro

Okay, so i used to an anime HATER but my girlfriend has been renting movies by Hayao Miyazaki, among them My Neighbor Totoro.
I was inspired when i came across The Totoro Forest Project, a gallery consisting of paintings and prints from a vast array of artists. Apparently the forest that inspired the movie is in danger of being cut down and they are raising money to save it.
Anyway i haven't watercolored in a while, i realized that i really miss it. Starting them is the hardest part, but a finished piece is worth it.
