Yes, I realize I barely ever do anything on this site anymore but I feel an extreme need to update this journal.

Question: When drawing do you ever find yourself drawing and sketching and redrawing and resketching (repeating process again) over the same image until the art mutates into something else entirely? Then in the end, you are ultimately left frustrated and drained from erase marks searing the paper, ugly, black smudges that only smudge further if touched, and strange, distasteful lines that refuse to go away.

I seem to have a knack at creating this very problem EVERY time I pick up a pencil and a sketchbook. You will probably never find me doing illustrations as a profession for this exact reason. Quite frankly it is becoming a tiresome nuisance yet I still find a reason to pick up a pencil and scribble until my brain is fried. There is something about art that is addicting, and I am not talking about the smells of the paint or markers that my face is commonly only a few feet from.

Simplicity

^{A journal by Airadiah}

Here's to a simple and short journal. It has been over 6 months since my last update. Rather sad actually. So what's there to say. I think a simple hello will suffice. So hello. When I have more time I will give a better journal but for now, just hello.

2. DO NOT TAMPER WITH THE ART IN ANY WAY UNLESS GIVEN PERMISSION.

Dinner and a Journal

^{A journal by Airadiah}

"You see things and ask, 'Why?'
I dream things and say, 'Why not?"
~George Bernard Shaw

I wanted to try something different and to my knowledge new to DA, since I have not seen it done yet. I am sure many of you are familiar with the show "Dinner and a Movie." Well here's is my slight twist on it- Dinner and a Journal. Basically I will share with you some of my favorite dishes and their recipes along with a journal. So to start it off- how about a pasta salad. This is one of my favorite vegetarian dishes that I became acquainted with at a local restaurant. Enjoy. To set the mood I suggest listening to "Via Con Mi" by Paulo Conte.

Pasta Nicoise

Ingredients

1 pound- ziti pasta or any other tubular pasta

1/2 cup- extra virgin olive oil

2 cups- green beans fresh, blanched

1/4- red onion fresh

1 cup- cherry tomatoes halved

1 cup- black olives sliced, pitted

1/4 cup- flat leaf parsley fresh, minced

1/4 cup- white wine vinegar

1- garlic clove pressed

2 tsp- dijon mustard

1/2 tsp- salt

to taste- freshly ground black pepper

salad leaves for serving

1/2 cup- carrot, chopped

1/4 cup- green olives sliced, pitted

to taste- parmesan cheese

Instructions

Boil the pasta in a large pot until the pasta is al dente (around 8-10 minutes). Once cooked, drain the pasta and let cool. If pressed for time allow the pasta to sit under running water until cool. Toss the pasta, green beans, cherry tomatoes, olives, red onions, carrots, and parsley together.

In a small bowl combine the vinegar, garlic, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Whisk in the oil and then add to the pasta. Toss until well mixed in. Take parmasan cheese and sprinkle to taste.

Sprinkle serving plates with salad leaves and then top with the pasta. Pasta is now ready to serve.

This recipe was taken from [link] and has gradually been modified over a period of time.

Journal

About a week ago I was watching "Extreme Home Makeover" on ABC and a special guest introduced to the audience redefined my conceptions and beliefs on art. The guest was an older gentleman probably in his 80's. He was blind, death, and mute. What inspired me about this man was his will to keep on living and to do something with his life. He spends much of his life working with fabrics of different textures and shapes to create quilts. It was so inspiring to see a man with such great disabilities have such a powerful ability. There was so much passion put into his work. It really inspired me, and I just wanted to share the story with you and maybe inspire you as well.
