watercolor pencil, blood, ink.

watercolor pencil and ink.

I don't have much else to say really. Lots of drawing and working on projects, which is nice. Life is a tiny bit weird, but all is well for the most part.

This is what it looks like when I don't wear make-up and paint for days.

]]><![CDATA[seven]]>Tue, 13 Apr 2010 21:40:40 -0800http://www.sarahhuth.com/2/post/2010/04/seven.htmlI think these are the last two I'm going to finish before I head off to bed tonight.

Obviously they are part of a series...I think I'm going to do the Seven Virtues afterwards, in the same style. Other things I'm working on include:

- Finally typing up notes for the graphic novel Phil and I are working on together, because I got lazy and neglected it and that was very lame of me.
- Designing my own business cards because I need to get some printed up and using templates that someone else made is lame, especially if your business card is promoting your artwork.
- Working on some comission work. Yes, I am actually getting paid to draw things. How ridiculous is that.

I can't believe I spent three years in film school, where I never drew, never painted, never did anything really worth any artistic merit aside from some directing and my SFX make-up work. It just boggles my mind how long I went without drawing. I was so tired all of the time...just really burnt out and stressed out and I didn't want to draw. I didn't have the space to paint. I don't know. I'm just really happy. I can't wait to start my studio art major in the fall.

watercolor pencils.

really quick ink sketches.

Probably more later. I'm feeling quite accomplished today.

I bought a ton of new art supplies, including a set of watercolor pencils that I've been longing for for ages. I finished one painting, started another, and did two quick drawings with my previously mentioned pencils.

I feel creative and as though I'm creating just to create FOR ME for the first time in ages. Not because I want something to show off or get feedback on, not for some due date or gift I've promised someone, not as an expression of how depressed I am and how I can't deal with things. I'm just being creative and drawing for the sake of drawing; I'm painting because I love to paint.

I haven't felt like this in...I don't even know how long it's been. It feels really fantastic though. I could stay up all night and paint, but I think going to bed would more than likely be the healthier choice.

self-portrait. watercolor pencils.

I'm just happy, and I'm happy because of myself. That makes me so absurdly proud. It's taken me a very long time to get here.

]]><![CDATA[I have a tendency to remember my dreams]]>Sun, 11 Apr 2010 10:16:44 -0800http://www.sarahhuth.com/2/post/2010/04/post-title-click-and-type-to-edit1.htmlI just typed up an epic blog discussing in detail some bizarre dreams I had last night, but then the internet ate it. So here is the short version:

1.) I hung out with Colin Meloy and drank 2% Milk. There really isn't much else to say about this one. Soul mates. Clearly.

2.) Lord Voldemort came out as my REAL birth father (Eddie and David Arroyo, you were there too. Which makes us siblings and half badass evil wizard). He then set up this weird competition to see which of his kids was his favorite, with the plan of killing everyone else. I was in third place with 30 points. At one point I had the chance to kill him, but couldn't do it, because despite being the most evil wizard in the world, he was my dad, and I wanted us to bond. So he killed me. Way too much of a softie, Sarah Huth. Clearly not badass enough to be Voldemort's kid. I'm pretty sure I rode a dragon at some point too. I am disgustingly nerdy. I was passed out on the dragon though...which I guess just means I'm good at multi-tasking and disgustingly nerdy.

3.) I was involved in some sort of prison love triangle. Only I didn't remember anything about it, really? But we were on the run cause apparently that was bad news and the police were after us for uh...being involved with each other? Clearly worse than murder or theft. I think this happened after the Colin Meloy milk drinking occurred too, cause I kept looking at pictures of that on my digital camera. It was me, another girl, and some guy; at one point we were caught and the girl kept trying to make sure our story was straight and I was like, "Seriously, I'm just going to say the first thing that comes to mind, because I remember nothing after drinking milk with Colin Meloy. How did I even get here?" The first thing that came to mind was riding an octopus, so I told the officers that's what I had been doing. Needless to say, that didn't go over very well.

4.) Finally, I was trying to catch a flight. It was only $40 to fly to Seattle, so I was like, "Yes! I'll go visit Jen and Michelle and Amanda!" But Michelle was at the airport? And she was really drunk and tried to pull my pants down? Which just made me feel very awkward. From Seattle I planned on flying to LA for an extra $15. Plane tickets are very cheap in my dreams.

None of this was important, but I remember my dreams very well (I could type up conversations from memory if I felt like it...which I fortunately don't) and thought it would be amusing to share. I, for one, enjoy laughing at myself.

Colin does not laugh with me.

So what have we learned from all of this, boys and girls? Even when sleeping I never stop thinking about Harry Potter and the Decemberists...2% milk is my favorite...I wish airfare was cheaper...I like octopi...and am not nearly mean enough to be the child of an evil overlord. All highly important things to know...clearly.

]]><![CDATA[pittsburgh ]]>Sat, 10 Apr 2010 21:49:12 -0800http://www.sarahhuth.com/2/post/2010/04/pittsburgh.htmlTomorrow I leave Pittsburgh and head back to Butler; I've been here staying with my grandparents and visiting assorted people since Wednesday. It's been an utterly fantastic little trip; I've been out and about and enjoying the company of people I haven't seen in ages. Today, for example, I got lunch with Cryss then wandered around Squirrel Hill with Brittany. Bumped into Jeannie briefly, gave her the biggest hug in the world; that random hug might've been the highlight of my day, actually. I walked around Point Park for a little bit, and found myself feeling rather nostalgic. Wondering if I made the right choice, all of that, even though I'm positive I did. I think Point Park is always going to hold a piece of my heart though, no matter how much I bitch about it. I wouldn't be the person I am today without Point Park.

I feel myself growing. My reactions to things are so much...smoother. More natural and calm and just good. I almost went to Phipps today, just to go, because it would've made me happy. I care very much about my happiness these days, and about doing things for me, not for the sake of pleasing everyone else around me. I know I wrote this in the previous entry, but I really do feel like I've shed some sort of skin. I feel like my life is changing, in so many ways and so many areas, for the better. I look at things in new ways, think in new ways, feel in new ways, and come August, I'll be learning and living in new ways. I sometimes feel scared and anxious, of course...but it all feels very right and I am just very content to be where I am and working towards where I'm going.

I think I'm just about there, and I can honestly say that and mean it and believe it. It's wonderful.

Tomorrow I'll probably finish that painting below when I get home; hopefully start on the sketched out one as well. I've been painting a lot, but I'd still like to be working more...for the first time in a long time I have an absurd amount of ideas in my head. Usually being creative comes only with being depressed for me, but this time the flow of ideas has lingered and it's both shocking and absolutely wonderful. It puts butterflies in my tummy.

Much less insightful thought: my grandparents randomly have given me around $80 since I've been here. I can basically afford my tattoo now. Do I get tattooed...or go to Comicon? Or do I save my money and wait until my birthday to forever mark my body? Hmmm. It's probably going to be the last one; I've also been rather responsible lately.

I am growing up...sort of.

]]><![CDATA[real quick update]]>Sat, 03 Apr 2010 22:33:45 -0800http://www.sarahhuth.com/2/post/2010/04/real-quick-update.htmlThings have been quite good. I'm feeling happy and balanced and content. I'm getting a lot of things done, going on epic adventures with friends, figuring things out with Pitt, and overall just doing far better than I have been in a really long time. Right now breathing is sort of difficult due to my seasonal allergies striking my sinuses with deadly force (I've been so distracted by my food allergies that I nearly forgot about them), but I'm sure that'll be fine. It's just a bit yucky.

Currently working on two paintings, one still a sketch and the other 98% finished.

nearly finished.

very rough sketch.

I finished reading Freakonomics earlier today, and am now about half-way through The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, which I am just TEARING through. It's fantastic. I started watching Dexter, which I love for many reasons and am irritated with for many reasons. I will say, however, that I have an absurdly huge crush on Dexter. I find him awkward and adorable. Also, the opening credits give me chills; so beautiful.

Tomorrow is Easter, which will be cool for the sake of an Easter basket full of fun things (GLITTERSNIFFER EYESHADOW FOR ONE) and lots of hard-boiled eggs with hot sauce. Yum. Also, yesterday I looked like a 1950's house-wife and felt very pretty:

I think that's everything. All of these changes feel wonderful; I feel like I'm living in an entirely new skin...after shedding off one that had been dead since September.

]]><![CDATA[New Painting]]>Sat, 13 Mar 2010 14:06:03 -0800http://www.sarahhuth.com/2/post/2010/03/new-painting.htmlFinished a painting for class today; we basically just neeed to use a complementary color scheme. So...here it is. I enjoyed painting it. Working on finishing up another painting now...it's been a rather slow, rainy day and I figured it would be nice for painting/practicing guitar (which I'm getting rather good at!).

The left side of the image is the full painting, the right side contains two close-ups.

]]><![CDATA[updates via insomnia]]>Tue, 16 Feb 2010 01:15:29 -0800http://www.sarahhuth.com/2/post/2010/02/updates-via-insomnia.htmlOne piece of fanart completed; there should be another piece up tomorrow before the new episode, along with some photography (maybe). I think I'm going to go out and explore in the snow for a little while after I get some things around the house done.

The past week has been bumpy. My aunt died, so there was the funeral, and that on top of everything else was just beyond crazy. I'm happy though, and I can honestly say that. I'm proud of myself, I love myself, I love my friends (who are lovely and listen to me vent and check on me to see how I am), and I'm secure and confident in who I am and what I'm doing with my life right now. Planning a trip to State College for next week to visit with my friend Alys, which will include tea, wine, LOST, antiques, libraries, and a possible vintage/goth photoshoot. It's going to be awesome; I've been in the mood for an adventure for quite some time now.

I'm also working on a very nice painting; it's rather large, for my class, of myself, and probably my favorite thing I've traditionally painted in a while. Should be done relatively soon, I think.

My friend Phil and I are working on a graphic novel; I've yet to revise the drafted script he's sent me due to things being chaotic, but it's going to be pretty intense and I'm very excited to start it. I'm thinking we'll release it via the website page by page every other week or something along those lines. Hopefully I'll be able to illustrate that regularly.

I think that's everything. I'm busy, and I'm busy doing the things I love...which I haven't been able to experience in a very long time. It makes me so happy.

I also think I might have a cavity. Boo.
