But not on purpose!

After making a declaration that i hadn't done "anything creative" aside from the new clothing line, i remembered that i had a bunch of stuff that hadn't yet made it to Anthroid.net. The problem is that i have too many sites, and too much work and i can't keep track of what is and isn't on them!

Anyway, without further adieu i present new[ish] work.

It just dawned on me that aside from working almost non-stop on various aspects of the new clothing line for the past year, i have done little else creatively. When i first started working on ideas for the new line, i never thought it would take me so long from concept to completion, but there was SO much work to do. I have never gone this long without painting or making some kind of art!

I think for the winter, i will move back to the "A's", as in 'Assemblage and 'Abstract Painting'. I have been toying with ideas in my head for these two ventures, but i was so sidetracked with the clothing line, that i have had time for little else but thinking.

Also, unlike past years, i worked straight through the summer. I usually take the summer off, and dash headlong into work in the fall and winter, but i almost feel like i need a short break right now. But i hate to take a break during my normally most prolific time of the year. This sucks! Ah well, perhaps a short break is in order? Don't mind me.. I am just thinking out loud.

I hope your Turkey or Tofurkey was delicious!

I tried to do the unthinkable and go to bed early tonight, but couldn't get to sleep. I think i am overtired from the past few days of non-stop socializing and catching up with old friends.

Anyway, instead of sleeping, i watched the new Leonard Cohen Tribute/Documentary and i was blown away. Not so much by the performances of the likes of Nick Cave, Jarvis Cocker, Beth Orton, and Bono/U2 who did covers of Cohen's work [with the exception of Antony of 'Antony and The Johnsons' who did a freaking amazing job with his cover of "If It Be Your Will"]. I mean, face it, NO ONE is as great as Cohen, and NO ONE can top the combination of his voice, words and delivery. What really blew me away was watching Leonard speak about his work, and life. He is such a beautiful soul, and i am so happy that someone did a documentary about him before he passes off this planet.

While watching the documentary, i was struck with the feeling that he might not be with us much longer, and this caused me to shed more than a few tears. But then again, i am just a big, old baby when it comes to deep and beautiful men with deep and beautiful words.

So, tonight i was getting ready for a meeting with a friend. I took a shower and was standing there, completely wet and naked with nothing more than a towel on my head, when my little kitty Milagro decides to start playing with the window shade.

I wasn't paying much attention to him because he is a 6 month old kitten who is always playing with something. My attention was quickly grabbed when he jumped up at the shade, and it came crashing down to the ground. I covered myself with my hands as quickly as i could, while screaming at him, "HELLO?!.. NAKED PERSON HERE!".

I stood there mortified, and quickly ducked down, but not until after i had noticed a group of college students congregated in the parking lot to the side of my house.. and in full view of my bathroom window. One of the boys in the group even waved at me. My, i am so lucky to live in such a friendly neighborhood.

Ah well, i suppose that since i rarely leave the house completely naked with just a towel on my head, that i should be safe and go discretely unrecognized the next time i do venture out... Right?

This spoke so loudly to me.. maybe it will speak to you as well.

James Gunn's kickass MySpace blog post on Filmmaking... but it can be applied to so many other creative areas in your life as well

I have never been a big fan of corny-ass, feel-good human interest stories, but...

.... this one is pretty amazing.
