tried to paint

You said you tried to paint.

Did you mean painting as in a work of art or painting a wall or what?

yeah artwork wise - but there is some painting in the apartment I should do too when I have the umpf for it. I have no canvasses right now just these big pieces of cardboard - I'll still working into them - they make the paint look shitty when it dries though - it's a media *shrugs* I like the lofi aspect to it but will have to continue to work into it until I work out how to bring quality into painting on it..

I started to post something last night, but I felt like you probably already know this if you are indeed a starving artist. If you have tried this, then ignore me - I mean no disrespect.
You mentioned cardboard, but have you white-washed the cardboard and then coated it with sanding sealer or simply give your affordable (free) (plywood, masonite, backer board, scammed foamboard from signs or posters ) media a coat of off-white paint of a different type from your artist colors. Use a fine textured roller and your surface will retain a "tooth" after it dries. It won't be absorbent, though, so it will really only work with oils or heavy acrylics.

This of course does not work for watercolors, but if you are really into water colors, you probably already have experience making your own absorbent paper from scrap, right?

hm, I'm more from the collected stash of oils, stolen paint from big DIY stores, whatever I have pov. I'd love to work in oils but there is no way I can access the amounts I'd use.

Great tips, thanks  :plus: I would have definitely prime what I've started on if I was more together.

I've been teaching English in Germany where I live but I phailed epically. One thing I screwed up for not forcing 40 something dole scum to follow the course like they had no choice and the other because it was really corporate and they said I was "too wild".I was always very stressed out inside while doing it - so much energy to contend with so many people when you're really not up for such things. Only job that was any cop here for me.  I haven't actually worked since then, I asked in other schools but I think I'd been 'blackballed' in that specific network at that time.

At the moment I am unemployable not to mention my Deutsche is crap. I'm sure I could work very well at something appropriate *shrugs*

I couldn't really do it either. It was the only option really jobwise *shrugs* edit) or at least something that may have worked anyhow.. I was really just too inconsistent by the given minimum standard. Dealing with so many people in such a futile setting was extremely stressful and debilitating also.

I dare say it would be but in my case is was because I had assaulted some police officers who seemed keen on a bit of gratuitous brutality whilst I somewhat worse for wear and zoned out on zopiclon. Very luckily for me an intervention by a Paramedic ensured I was taken to a hospital and not the jail. The charges were waived as the doctors were told by the paramedics that I had not initiated the violence and they rubber stamped that I was of diminished responsibility at that point of time in question.

They decided to keep me in hospital because of concerns about how much zopiclon and tramadol + drink I had been ingesting over the previous few days and not least because they dredged up a psych report where obviously I'd been labelled off as a 'conspiracy nut wackjob' *shrugs*. I had seen a psychologist for a while at an earlier time - mainly due to the fact that my partner at the time wanted us both 'to do' 'therapy'. I found it a rather pointless exercise but it gave me a bit of a free chat once a week when social contact was fast ebbing away and it gave him some cash - my health insurance covered it - it turned out my psychologist was a cult devotee (literally) of the Indian shyster Osho - this I found to be funny so preceded to ask about this and started telling him all the things I had been reading into *shrugs*

blah blah.  The police still seem intent of causing me some hassle and I hope it will just be over soon tbh. I guess they really despise people getting away with hitting them - if only I could remember that *sigh*

or otherwise:

No, I was fucking the sink itself actually and literally managed to plug it with myself, then needed the fire brigade to cut away from the basin using the jaws of life.
