CAN'T. DRAW. EFFING. HANDS.

Well, there you go. I'm suffering a (writer's?) block. Actually, it's more of an artist's block. In french we call it "the white page syndrome" and honestly nothing is more frightening then a white page when you have half a million things TO DRAW!

One of the down points of making your hobby your job (thru being an artist and doing contracts.)

So right now i'm trying to fight the block by watching a million movies and drawing silly manga images, like this one, of the characters of bleach.

I watched lately a bunch of disney animations, the Sex and the City movie, the indiana jones collection, the indiana jones NEW movie, Stranger then Fiction, The Mask, V for Vendetta and The bleach movie; memories of nobody.

So far, most of this stuff is pretty good. Lilo and Stich dazzled me with it's watercolor backdrops (one day I shall be so talented). The Sex and the city movie was pretty good. The potrayal of all the characters was pretty accurate, especially Samantha, that brillantly shone as herself at the end of the movie. Charlotte was impossibly cute, as always, Miranda took her legendary pride for another spin. Carrie was true to herself as well, throwing her own stubborness away... for a pair of shoes. Yes, indeed. It was good. And a good way of introducing people to sex and the city too.

The indiana jones movie threw nostalgia my way. It was okay for the most part. The ending was definitly odd and perhaps not the best way to go. But it reminds us all how Lucas and Spielberg are now obsessed with CG, aliens, cool technology and bad acting. I'll admit though, every time the characters whould utter "Henry Jones jr." I'd feel chocked up, looking for dear old daddy jones and his grail.

Stranger then fiction was awesome. It was definitly a victim of bad marketing; it's commercials made it look like a boring comedy/chick flick. It's actually really smart, and offers an interesting lesson on life, and a few interesting critiques about litterature. Loved it.

V for Vendetta is still one of my favorite movies. I love V. How can you not? And the main actresse is definitly better as Evey then as Padme.

Finally, the Bleach movie was kinda cool, though Senna's classic hyper japanese schoolgirl attitude (sigh) really got on my nerves. I'm warning you, this movie is filler glorified. But it's not bad filler. I felt bad for Inoue, Ishida and Chad who get like, two lines each. They got butted out of the flick by the damsel in destress, Senna. Ah, Ichigo. He's really popular with the girls. XD There was a few ichiruki moments in the movie too, for fans of the couple. I like the idea of the couple, but I kinda like them as is (aka mostly platonic super close friends with romantic hints). Most of the romantic hinting is caused by Inoue anyways... I still thing Rukia is cute. I like how she's less like your basic shounen girl (aka Inoue). She's stronger and more adrogenous, a bit like Ana from shaman king, who is also deeply cool.

Ok, time for bed I guess; tomorrow I have one of my gallery openings. It's in Vankleek hill, which is why I didn't really tell people; it's awfully far to get to. If you wish to visit one of my exhibits, i'll have one in ottawa and one in montréal soon. The one in Ottawa will contain all new works. The expos in Vankleek and in montréal show mostly the stuff I had in the Graduate show, with three new fairy tale works.

Man, I hope this white page syndrome goes away soon.

Oh, I still don't have a job either. But i'm starting to look very hard. Most people say they won't hire for other then student jobs, at least not until september.... Gah. Need job, please.
