Regret Revisited

Of all the things that one regrets in their life,
Not having found love is the one with most strife.
Were they looking for something that wasn't in the cards?
Should they have been more lenient with their rigid standards?
But perhaps the question that causes the most regret
"Could I have passed up love and not even known it?
Could I have been too careless and given up too fast
On a perfect relationship, which could forever last?"

That first night you met; sloughed through the snow,
Necking under a full moon, the kisses did flow
Seven days together, a week elapsed,
Perfection achieved, happiness at last

But he ha

Insomaniacal Tendencies

Lack of sleep
Double edged blade
Adrenal glands gush forth
Motor reflexes wane

Fingers fly across the keys
Pencil darts across the pad
Output plus ten-fold
Quality's not too bad

Neural threads fly faster
Dopamine cracks like a whip
Endorphins provide a high
But shit that's just the tip

As time goes on
The ashtray fills
The 2-liter drains
Take 3 aleve pills

The migraine comes down
Like an eagle on its prey

Hurts to think
Hurts to see
Hurts to breathe
Hurts to be

Is it still tonite you pose?
Or the following day?

Aleve kicks in
Respite from the lash
But its almost afternoon

Angelina Jolie portraitby ~mach5

Traditional Art / Drawings / Portraits & Figures

13 hours worth of city parking - $6.50
10 cups of decaf coffee - $17.50
1 tank of gas - $25

Finishing a drawing in the comfort of a coffee shop - Priceless.

I'm so glad this is done, and I managed not to severely fuck it up. I'm still not 100% happy with the hair, the ring, or the lousy excuse for a background, and I wish I'd spent some time maybe adding some texture to the hands and more to the lips, but ya know what....it's done.

I will so be sending Angelina a copy of this one of these days.

Used some nice soft brown drawing paper; same stuff I used for the Captain Jack Sparrow pic a couple years ago. Mostly 2B mechanical pencil, little bit of B, plus white charcoal pencil. Liberal chamois and blending stick usage throughout. That's pretty much about it.

WOOOWW ! Amazing work! Really really beautiful!

~PandoraSilvanesti Nov 4, 2005

Very nice work, it is beautiful

Oh my gosh. That is amazing-- I wish I could draw people like you can! I personally think the hair looks great-- hair's a bitch to draw-- even though you're not happy with it. The eyes are very striking. I think your choice for background (what little of it there is!) was a good one; anything too busy would take away from the face.

Hey, you keep up the work, you'll get there sooner than you think. I've seen your gallery, and you've definitely got the talent.

~mach5 Jul 27, 2005

Eh, I'm barely an artist. But I can recognize technical ability, and creativity, and you have both. I only have the former. In a few years, you'll blow me away.

~Sleekfur Jul 27, 2005

You think so? Thanks! A simple comment like that means a lot coming from an artist like yourself.
