Syd Barrett, the Crazy Diamond

This is a drawing I did of Syd Barrett, former lead singer/songwriter/guitarist for the band Pink Floyd. I think it's one of my better drawings.

Close to the Edge - Part 20Neither of us said anything for a long time. We looked at each other for a while until I felt unable to make direct eye contact with Alex anymore. I looked away, just staring at the floor. Alex still looked at me; I didn’t actually see where his eyes were but I could tell that his gaze was directed at me.   Finally, I simply said, “Alex – I –” I looked up suddenly, biting my lip. “I think I’m going to go home now.”   “A – alright,” he said. “I think you should, too…”   “Alright.” I whipped my head over suddenly, as though I had heard Close to the Edge - Part 20

Close to the Edge - Part 19A few days afterward, Alex called me on the telephone and told me that he had called the members of the band. They were all alright with the idea of us being regular presences during their practices. I told him that that was just fantastic. He said that he was looking forward to doing the same thing on Saturday, and that was that; a new weekly tradition had begun. I now had three special things I did during the week; visiting with Alex and the Velvet Electrics’ band practice on Saturdays, and during the rest of the week going to the library with Nim. We both continued to do art for the library together. It was a good experience for so ma Close to the Edge - Part 19

Close to the Edge - Part 18“So we’re going now?” I asked.   “Yes,” Alex said. “So the band practice is at Chris’s house –”   “Yeah, Sydney told me that,” I interrupted. “He told me that he’s been to the Velvet Electrics’ band practices, and that he thought it was like having a concert done just for him.”   “I didn’t ask Chris, but I think Sydney would probably be there,” Alex told me. “But anyway – you’ve never been there, of course, but I have and since it’s on the other side of town I’ll drive us there.”    Close to the Edge - Part 18

Stuff I draw. Stuff I write. Stuff I photograph. And I am pretentious enough to think it all constitutes as art. Oh yes I am.

"Fake Friends"

Fri Jul 3, 2009, 6:46 AM
I'm generally not in the habit of reposting stuff I find in other people's journals here on dA, but I found this from *Hikari912, and to be honest I thought it was really quite true:

"No offense, but ... There are some people who are getting too fake on dA. They only want posts, comments, or to see how many friends they can get. So let's see who will actually re-post this. This is a test to see who's paying attention. This is a test to see how many people in my friends list actually pay attention to me. Copy and re-post in your own bulletin. Lets see who the true friends are and I think I know who you are... Re-post this if you are a friend...Don't reply... just copy and paste this in a new bulletin as "Fake Friends'"

Reading that in her journal just sort of resonated with me (although I'm not sure why)...You haven't got to post it in your journal (though, contrary to the quotation, I don't mind if you reply regarding this if you've something to say). I have a feeling I've a rather good sense of who my friends here are. I just wanted to share that, you know?

You're welcome! I like the idea you came up with that was based on the Warriors books. I like Warriors, and I also like it whenever I come upon a good idea derived from a book or idea I like. Yours is particularly ingenious.
