My Bathroom Wall Rocks

Sun Mar 8, 2009, 1:06 PM

In my apartment my bathroom wall is 'decorated' (if such a term could truly be applied) with a rough stucco texture, the random result of some guy slapping on layer after layer of the stuff with a trowel. Any time I'm in there I see this wall there in front of me, and like the pastime of cloud-watching I invariably pick out all sorts of forms and images emerging from the lines.

I'd love to go in there with my sketchbook sometime just to ogle the walls and draw what I see, but then my roommate would think I'd completely lost my damn mind

In other news, work still rocks and I've seriously gotta stop going to art/comic conventions. Unless I figure out how to sell at them as well as buy, in which case I've gotta get in on that scheist.

awesome. I have actually started a giant landscape mural in my bathroom, all four walls and even the door. everything but the window. It'll take a while but when complete it will look awesome. I hope. I'll have to take some photos

Art is an extension of the soul. If you can not create you are soulless. And noone is soulless

I love it, man! You will have the most cowed houseguests around when they open your bathroom door to find a commode and all the world awaiting them..

Ha ha haaa... I know the feeling!
Especially in randomly tiled or textured bathrooms (what else can one do, right?).

Hey, you can always keep one of those pocket sized notepads or sketchbooks on your person, then it wouldn't be so weird?

Some people read on the can, others DRAW!

lol

*sadly admits this*
The tiles we have in our bathroom have these incredible veins that rarely repeat themselves, if you don't pay attention and imagine a bit all kinds of crazy stuff you can see, yeah...bathrooms are good for muses apparently XD lol
