4am art [I'm not busy at all]

Since i didn't have any homework to do and Jason and Jeff were doing work (papers and paintings), i decided to chill with them and Jeff suggested i should try chinese ink and brush. I was somewhat interested until Jeff just went and got it for me. Both Jason and Jeff started explaining me how hard it is and how i'm suppose to hold a brush. But i just said "i'll figure all this out myself, don't worry about the rules. I got it." and i did. i didn't conventionally use water, but also because i just had standard arts'n'crafts large paper. Although i did play with shading, and some water marks at the end.
From the first strokes i was drawn to accuracy of the brush and it's versatility. I created several quick squiggles as i would do with a pen. Only brush is faster, allowing me to be quicker on my thinking, morphing lines into figures and shapes. (pretty much what i do a lot). The brush colors in fast AND has a shade effect - i can water down the paint several shades lighter, almost to white.
So things i have on this work: couple of dudes hanging, chicken, dead person's thoughts, bee, balloon, pencil, flowers, labyrinth, two creatures "holding" another creature, funnel, a chained creature, self-holding branch, several more creatures :). Of course each is to see what one desires. I like hearing what different people see. Well, here it is. I gotta go to work now. I would've written down more.



We also bonded in how various our childhoods were. What interesting stories we had shared. More 4am's please! Jason was playing lots of music on hit laptop instead of writing his paper. As i'm writing this on Wednesday 2.37pm the music is still on, and Jason is still writing his paper (after going to classes).
