Brick?

SOMETHING BETTER WILL COME OF THIS KYLE ...

But for now....

I feel like Ben Folds.


Though I can't relate to anything about

What he drowns about.  Thankfully.

Whatever........................................ and AMEN. 

How to Fall to the Center of the Universe


CRAYONS? CRAINS? CRANS? CRAY-ONS? cRaYoNs... RAyons. YONS? YAWNS? Yawn.... I'm bored.

One time I drew a piece of fruit.  It was an apple.  It was done with cheap crayola crayons.  I don't know why they're called crayons... But wikipedia says:

"The history of the crayon is not entirely clear. The word "crayon" dates to 1644, coming from (chalk) and the Latin word creta (earth)."

So... "earth-on?"  It's cool if it's LATIN based.  Does that mean the Old Masters used crayons?  That's cool.  Why? Cause it's history.  But we're not painting with "earth", it's just wax.  So, I drew this picture of an apple.  Funny thing, potato in french is "apple of the earth," so I guess I should have drawn a potato.  That would have made more sense.  But I drew the reddish apple.  Another person was amazed.  I said.... "Well... My art teacher says its all shapes and values... and I learned my shapes in elementary school.... which is where I had a formal training in Crayola Crayons."  She rolled her eyes and sighed.

So thank you Crayola.  I know my shapes, my values, and Pack can take a chill pill, I also know that Crayola can create a friggin cool drawing.  And Windsor Newton can just take a back seat for a change.  And Prismacolor, sometimes you need to just take a chill pill and stop charging so much for oil based stuff.  But then again, it's cool, cause you guys make some pretty nice stuff too, and I can't really sharpen a crayon.  But I digress.  It's all shapes.  It's all values. Right'?  And if Gogh had a box of crayons, I'm sure he'd say, "ya know, it's just too waxy.  I can't get any texture."  And Leo would respond.... "You kidding me? This stuff rocks... No more of this fresco crap!"  And Mike would say, "You morons, why are you drawing with wax?  Drawing is for suckers... Real artists sculpt and that wax stuff is just to cover up mistakes.  It is only used for my pretty marble people, and i'm pretty on my own.  And all of the rest of you in the future, all that wax is gonna go to waste..... So sue me if I ain't sincere. It'll look better without it anyway."   

So, moral of the story, if you want to be sincere, you don't use waxy crayons... Unless you want to learn your shapes and values.  And in that case, you don't really need a crayon, unless you plan on eating it... luckily, it's non toxic....But then you aren't sincere.  You're just full of wax.

Sorry Windsor and Newton... please forgive me... I'm sincere... Sincerely hoping you forgive me.  And sincerely hoping that I'll remain sincere for the rest of my life..... See ya Crayola.  I'm sorry, it was fun, but I'm going back to oils.  And Conte Crayons.  Those seem to be truer to the original anyway... made of the earth.  Crayola... You're cray cray.  Totes cray cray.  So I guess I'm the one in the chalk outline... gosh.. That kid is scary.  But I'm still sincere.
