JillWrites: Always Be Saving Dinos

Looking back. (As shot in the iPhone. Only black square frame added.) The clock in my car is wrong, tho. I haven’t changed it for Daylight Savings Time yet. 

Plz have some JUMANJI with your Christmas Eve—it’s the most appropriate spirit for the holiday.

Eek out a few sentences. Or maybe just two. Three, maybe. Ok fine. T-shirts. That is all. Good night.

 Writing should come back. Working on some changes. 

Solstice week. 

Stayed for back-to-back yoga classes—I feel like I had myself in a sanity deprivation chamber.  This self-portrait project is stagnating like my complaint from earlier in the year—finding myself back in these type of shots. Meant for the new kick-off from my birthday to take me back to the city adventures & documenting what I do each day.  What Would Traveling Tillie Do? www.travelingtilliephotography.univer.se Happy that I found myself having fun making the JillWrites Universe on Univer.se Social Media Art project, but I still would like to return to the Traveling Tillie type that I wax when I started the JillWrites blog originally. 

In this installment of  “Jill with Art”: a pizzeria bathroom. #damnhellbathroom #jillwithart

Processed with Refresh and then OH DEAR WE’RE REALLY SMURFING NOW. Actually I was thinking Modern Dancing and then Warholing and in between sometime a long while ago I had been Hockneying and it wasn’t until I made this quartych in Diptic that the Cyan Man filter showed BANANAS AND CINNAMON ROLL IN THE FILTERS MIX ALSO  

As shot. Long day. Good pajama pants. 

Remember this from May 2007?: How about if I now can knot two of these together? …began by putting one on this way (to see if I can use the neck opening as an armhole—(and yea the  turtleneck is actually a sleeve)—

Prisma app is also a lot of fun. (This particular sp is a combination of a few different apps.) 

With or without the filter I added on this last processing? (Hint: the filter is Redrum.) ***** (It was time for one of these.)

More no writing yet. 

This is the darkest my hair color has ever been (due to a highlights mishap that I precipitated upon myself—and so I went to a stylist to have it rectified).  I’m getting used to it—and now I can try some different color palettes in my self-portraits.  I have light brown eyes, and usually keep my hair sandy brown with highlights—so, my eyes and hair usually color-match. With this combo, I can utilize a dramatic contrast between the eyes and hair. My eyes have never been this much lighter than my hair—fun! Colors! 

Jumanji t-shirt today. More words another day. 

{More sentences go here.}

Good process-oriented day. Still not sure which arrangement of websites is going to work for this, but 🙎‍♀️🤷‍♀️ there’s just so much design fiddling, page-juggling, & brand-redesigning I can tolerate in one afternoon, and then 🤦‍♀️ 💆‍♀️ also got in some creative fun with the jillwrites universe on univer.se universe and some fiction / web-based fiction a-ha’s this is turning into a metatext but. one of the goals/processes  of this relaunch is getting the relaunch happening, so. in today’s episode of phone-it-in daily self-portraiture: sometimes getting tired of graphic design in a long day, a portrait artist says ‘enough’. ok, fine. one more entry into the jillwrites universe on univer.se set on my Behance: 

***** Time for abstraction. 

Didn’t write yesterday.  13 YEAR OLD JILL: I’M GOING FOR A WALK TO 13TH AVENUE TO READ MAGAZINES AND BUY HAIR CLIPS. *****

Didn’t get in writing time today. 

Alright: so, my old blogging persona was on its way back; I’ve now got art therapy in session; and the web presence overhaul is taking place. Looks like it’s all really happening, you guys. And now, a return to: started as a quick self-portrait, turned into album art.

Painting in my backyard:

Started the day in The First Light Bulb blog again early this morning.  Then a few hours later, I found myself at Wendy’s, where their computerized ordering kiosks seem to want to sing The Clash.   Took a few iPhone shots, and in the iPhone photo album, the series of nearly-identical thumbnails reminded me of Andy Warhol’s Campbell’s soup cans—so I thought I’d try a Pop Art configuration in a few apps. Haven’t quite come up with a design I love for it yet, but.  The in-progress work reminded me of something Trixie Clusterfuck (one of my fictional characters) would use.  Yes, Trixie Clusterfck is a real fiction story I wrote that I’ve been adapting for the stage ok, more later (Also going to revisit some Italo Calvino.) *****  Floor configuration time.
