Pastel, portfolio

Thank you ;o;

I tried answering this once already but my computer was apparently unplugged so it shut itself off half way and then crashed, thus losing my response so I’m going to answer much more concise this time.

Pastel- what’s your favourite famous piece of art?

Hmmm. Off the top of my head I’d say Albrecht Durer’s Hare. It’s so simple and just stunning. It’s just a painting of a wild rabbit but my lord I love it. Or anything from Walton Ford

Portfolio- if you could interview any artist dead or alive who would it be?  

Hmm. I would love to interview Walton Ford or just watch his process. He does paintings using the same techniques as John James Audubon but he does them on gargantuan scale. I would like to interview Salvador Dali just because he had an ocelot and you have to be pretty cool to have an ocelot. I would also love to interview any of the people I follow on various art websites because I’m a filthy nerd and don’t focus on classic art as much as new and modern stuff.

Foxglove, primrose, hibuscus

FOXGLOVE:Name three facts about your family?

Umm oh gosh. The only person I’m really close to in my family is my cousin. 1. My last name is fake and a bastardized version of whatever it used to be. I don’t even know the original. I’m not even kidding I can’t even think of 2 more.

PRIMROSE:Favorite kind of soup?

Vegetarian chili!

HIBISCUS:Did you ever play an instrument? If so what?

I had a keyboard as a kid and I wrote shitty songs on it, but I was never trained. I have no dexterity and small hands, I probably couldn’t learn how to play anything!

What are veigue's thoughts on an amigurumi version of him? I think I need to draw this

Pfft, now I’m imagining Claire made it, because @flamingo-bubbles and I had discussed Veigue and Claire getting buried in lots of homemade crocheted and knitted things. (It started with their art of Veigue in a scarf Claire made.) I bet Veigue has it hooked like a small charm to his outfit somewhere. No one ever sees it, no one ever finds it, BUT IT IS HIS GOOD LUCK CHARM FOREVERIt’s probably knitted and really lumpy and looks only…ahaha, vaguely like him. xP

3. Favourite art period(s)? -Probably the period Mexican Muralist movement, the Pre-colombian period, post conquest period in MX with the indigenous art blending with European aesthetics, and the art art nouveau period although I’m quite a fan of the Romantic Era as well.

29. The biggest spiritual experience you’ve had with a work of art/gallery/museum?When I went to the National museum of Anthropology in Mexico City man, I felt like I was home. I spent like 8 hours in that museum. Although I get the same feeling when I’m at the Art Institute of Chicago. I’ve cried in front of two works there? The last of which occurred when I was standing directly in front of a bust of Marcus Aurelius, Just gazing into his eyes man I swear to god that for the briefest of seconds it felt like he was there in the flesh.

sweetest-creature replied to your post “Do you think Bloodraven will die by the end of the series? Do you...”

Ive been confused Jojen... He has the green sight but is not as powerful as Bran or Bryndyn... So he's not a "Green Seer"? Is it because Jojen isn't a warg where as Bran has greensight + warging abilities? But don't Jon and Arya have that?

Jojen is not a greenseer, and his green dreams aren’t greensight.  He says so himself:

“You’re a greenseer.”

“No,” said Jojen, “only a boy who dreams. The greenseers were more than that. They were wargs as well, as you are, and the greatest of them could wear the skins of any beast that flies or swims or crawls, and could look through the eyes of the weirwoods as well, and see the truth that lies beneath the world. (Bran I, ASOS)

There’s def magic there, and it might be related to the magic that Bran has by virtue of some connection to the COTF.  TWOIAF implies that there was intermarriage between the COTF and the crannogmen, but whether that was racist!Yandel being racist or GRRM saying “ok but this happened” who knows.  I see the difference as being between passive and active magics.  Jojen’s magic is a passive one: he has dreams that are magical.  Bran’s magic is an active one (once he learns how to use it): he can do things with his magic and in his dreams.

Jon and Arya are both wargs, and both have experience in text warging into their direwolves.  Robb probably was too, and Rickon probably is as well; Sansa would have been if Lady hadn’t died.  Arya’s also a skinchanger because she sees through the eyes of cats in Braavos.  But Bran’s the only greenseer in the books apart from Bloodraven.

11. Describe your ideal day: I’d wake up somewhat early in a hotel of a city I haven’t been to before, BUT I would actually feel rested and not tired. My hair and makeup look good. then I’d go to meet my friends for coffee and breakfast pastries. Afterwards we’d explore and stuff, go to museums, and see artistic/cultural things. Go to a tea room for lunch. A lot of the stuff is location-specific. Like if I was in Buenos Aires, we would go see theatre all day, in Tokyo we would prob spend the day @ Harajuku, etc. But I know the end of the day I would like to go to the theatre or ballet, then for evening coffee before going to a club or party where I could get just the right amount of tipsy but not uncomfortable, then get laid, and then go to sleep in a giant and very soft bed.

30. pick one of your favorite quotes.

THIS IS TOO MUCH FOR ME RN.

but probably: “Art is born out of an ill-designed world.”--Andrei Tarkovsky
