Complications.

So, things have taken a turn for the worse.

I am still going out to L.A. this Halloween, that hasn't changed. Just.. the events have changed. Creature Feature's Halloween show is going to be 21+ this year since they are doing it in conjunction with Gris Grimly's Cabaret Macabre at the Magic Castle in Hollywood. See, this is a problem for me because I'm only 17.

I'm not going to lie, I was downright depressed pretty much all day yesterday. I've been sick with a cold for a while as well, so that didn't help my mood at all.
It seems like every time I try to see Creature Feature, complications arise. The first two shows I was going to go to were on the canceled Otep tour. Now, I can't get into the venue they'll be playing at. I've been trying to see them for three years, and it's looking like I'm just not meant to see them. I'm hoping that's not the case. I really am.

*sigh*

But, yes. I'll be in LA. October 3oth to November 3rd. Some friends and I are planning on meeting up and possibly going to "shipwreck" which is at the Queen Mary. It should be fun.

Thoughts of my premature burial.

Hello fiends.

So, a lot has been going on in the land of Delirium.

1.) I'm definitely going to L.A. this October! October 30th-November 3rd to be exact. My mother and her friend Amy decided that me going by myself would not be the greatest idea and decided they'd come with me, hence one day being cut off due to my mom's double shift on Thursdays.
I'm really very excited for this. Not only will I be seeing Creature Feature for the first time on Halloween in a little bit over a month, this will be my first time on the West Coast since I was 8 months old. (I was born in Long Beach, California for those of you not in the know.) I'm currently working on some painting projects that I plan to bring with me and give to certain people. More on that soon.

2.) The Poe painting I posted earlier has gathered a lot of attention. Someone is willing to pay me 55 dollars plus shipping if I paint them another version of it. My SciFi teacher also is going to give me a project-weight grade and 20 dollars for a poster sized print of it to hang in his room. Finally, my 10th grade English teacher is going to include it in "Writer's Ink" a kind of zine the english department puts out annually. I'm actually kind of flabbergasted. I never knew it'd get such positive feedback from everyone.

Okay, so maybe it's not a lot, but it's some pretty awesome shit.
Expect some more art posted within the next week, I'm feeling inspired.

Deep into that darkness peering

Time for me to post another new painting!
(paints really are the best thing to happen to me, no?)























Mr. Edgar Allan Poe

Done with acrylic paint on canvas. I think it took around 4 hours to complete.
I'm very, very proud of this piece. It's my first "portrait" in paint.
It's also fitting, seeing as this year was the 200th' anniversary of his birth!
My mother, Darci and myself went down to Baltimore this August to go visit Mr. EAP's gravesite. It was great fun. I'd hoped I'd be able to go to the Poe Museum to meet Gris Grimly but it's sadly not to be.

IN OTHER NEWS.
I miiight be getting a tattoo apprenticeship in the next few weeks. Maybe. If I play my cards right and build a good portfolio, I actually might have a good chance. I've got my fingers crossed!

Until next time!

Just Scarecrows to War.

Okay, so, it's 7:12 AM and I don't have to start heading to school until 8:15 am. Yay for senior privileges!

So, I thought I'd share my two recent pieces of artwork.
We'll go from newest to oldest.






















This one is called "Nevermore."
It's water colour and acrylic paint on watercolour paper and it took me about 9 hours to complete. This is my first time using acrylic paint seriously, and I love how it looks. Paint is honestly the best thing to happen to me, I think.
The raven was actually a last minute addition suggested by my friend Dani.























This painting is titled "The Death of a Dollmaker." It was inspired by an instrumental piece by Creature Feature of the same name. I used ink and watercolour for this piece, plus a little bit of coloured pencil in the background. I cannot remember the exact amount of time it took me to complete this one, but it was more than 5 hours.

I'm currently working on another, smaller painting, and then I'm gonna start on commissions (well, that is, when I start getting some commissions....) but, anyways, I might post that here when it's finished.

7:23. Less than an hour to until I've gotta get to school.

We go graverobbin’ when the full moon shines above.

I got myself a new blog. For some reason, my layout on the old blog was fucked up something horrible.

Anyways, hello my fiends.
I'm Miss Delirium, but you probably already know that. I like to draw and paint and sing along to music when no one else is home.. and now you're gonna pretend that you didn't read that last bit.

So, I've not blogged in a while. What is up, you ask? Nothing, really. I've started school again and my classes are nice. I've got two photography classes this semester. Next semester brings Theater Production and Painting.
The one big thing is that I'm trying to get out to L.A. October 29th-November 3rd to go see Creature Feature on Halloween. Seeing as I live in Connecticut, this isn't gonna be cheap.
So...

If I were to open up commissons, would anyone buy?

I need to raise all $300 for the plane ticket myself and seeing as how I have no job and it’s very unlikely I’ll get a job before October 29th, this is going to be hard. I've already got the okay from my mom for the trip itself.

I can draw, paint, ect. I might even do a couple of doll commissions if they’re not too difficult and the like. I’m really desperate here.

If you want to see my work, all my stuff is up on my DeviantART.

If anyone shows an interest, I’ll figure out the prices then.

So, yeah. Thanks in advance to anyone who decides to commission me. It'd help a bunch <33 id="gwProxy" type="hidden">
