Star Spangled Eyes

Yesterday I began my new peice of "artwork". I found some crappy (easily ripped) huge peices of paper laying upstairs and I decided to use it. It probably would have gne to waste otherwise since its the color of concrete and whatnot, but I like it. It almost reminds me of parchment paper. I'm having fun with it, even though I've already ripped it.

I got the idea from a National Geographic magazine with a picture of a Chinese man covered in soot. He works in the coal mines that are heavily active in China. I feel like, if I really want to go there I've got to spend a lot of time thinking about all the different aspects of this place. That's why I'm doing a giant image of this soot covered laborer with red eyes with yellow stars in them (representing the chinese flag). Any time I put into my art peices reminds me to think about what and why I'm creating. It's a reminder of where I want to go and to align my goals correctly.
Although, I am VERY well aware of how easily I stray.
It's a human condition that can't be shaken because life isn't a straight line.

So even if I don't go. I'll know I took the time to think on it, atleast.

Otherwise I spent the rest of my weekend cleaning and greeting a new family in the area. :]
