{November 23, 2007}   the left hand project

okay so, on a whim i decided to start practicing using my left hand more often for things. i was recently reacquainted with the knowledge that i was kind of ambidextrous when i was younger so i figured this wouldn’t be to hard. and I’m already able to make a half decent A and E and a circle!

I hope to be able to draw a full drawing by the time I’m complete.
also starting today I’ll document my progress by writing the date on each peace of paper i use. and in a few weeks i’ll show off a time line if i’ve made any significant progress.

Wish me luck people, I’m delving into unknown territory. *serious face*

also, to add some kind of content to this post.

as you all know the left hemisphere of your brain controls the right side of your body, and the right hemisphere controls the left side of your body.
but did you know your left hemisphere is the linear, math, and language side of your brain. and the right hemisphere is the multitasking, art, and problem solving side of your brain? if you’ve read the work of Robert Sperry you probably do know this.
so this experiment hold more merit to me then it seams to on the surface. by practicing with my left hand i might just create an even better pathway to my right hemisphere then i already have. i see this as a good thing.

peace out everyone
till next time.



{November 9, 2007}   My new favourit movie!

haven’t been online much lately but here i am with a Movie Review!

so last night i saw Pans Labyrinth. I’m a late viewer of movies I know, but the theater costs quite a bit! lol.
but anyways! i was led to believe that the movie’s trailers were misleading in that it had very little fantasy. i think people have been desensitized by Loter and Narnia.
it wasn’t a fantasy movie, it was fairy tail. and it was perfect quality when you put it up against stories written by the brothers grim and the such.
also, the acting was so god the violence actually sickened me. that’s what i want out of a movie. true emotions were brought out of me, like when i watched children of men.
amazing peace of art. and I’m glad that it was given subtitles rather then being spoken in English or dubbed in English, it made for extra authenticity I might say. Del Toro you are an amazing director.

anywho. I’ve got a mini series ‘pre-comic’ going for MHC before i finish up planing out the first volume. so go check it out here.

no art thumbs today, sorry :P
but do see Pans labyrinth when you have the time

Peace out!
