  • Mood: Eager
  • Listening to: lady gaga. i hate her but shes so damn catchy :(
  • Watching: i watched the labyrinth last night! :DDb
  • Eating: cookies
  • Drinking: peppermint mocha
So, after a dreadfully and unnaturally long, cold/rainy, caffeine withdrawl inducing week, we have arrived at an absolutely gorgeous, 70 degree Saturday.
This helps a lot, as the weather tends to affect my mood, and lets face it, this week was downright shitty in all respects. However, a few good things to report;

I won first place in both the printmaking and drawing categories of the student art show, along with sharing the honorable mention in the printmaking category for a different print.

the things that won were:
[link] honorable mention in printmaking
[link] 1st place in printmaking
[link] 1st place in drawing

I think I get like 50 bucks or something. yay! haha. and I also sold one of the 'Remembrance' prints for 40 dollars, my professor told me I didn't price it high enough, but I'm happy.

In approximately 2 weeks, my former roommate Allen will be getting his tattoo I drew; which can be found here- [link]
---------------------------------------------------------------
I've started baking more often! (mmm, chocolate chip cookies.)
---------------------------------------------------------------


In less awesome news, I've been going pretty slowly for thesis... I just feel stuck and hate everything I start. I tend to have issues with that. I think I need to stop worrying whether things fit my theme or not and just start drawing.

I really like UNC Chapel Hill's grad program, but they only accept 6 to 8 people a year. I think I might take a year off to beef up my portfolio-n-stuff.


Over and Out!

I'm currently working on my BFA with a focus in Drawing, however I am probably going to be doing my senior thesis this year in printmaking. I think that if I had been introduced to printmaking earlier on, I would be majoring in that instead, and the faculty in my art department has graciously given me permission based on what I produced this past semester in etching, to do that for thesis instead.
I have had 4 brain surgeries, bacterial meningitis from a staph infection, and hydrocephalus as a complication of the former, and like to think myself happy to be alive. I try to live my life with no regrets and not to take everything at face value.
I am interested in surrealism and sometimes macabre imagery; skeletal and organ systems show up frequently in my work as a result of my medical history, and i enjoy drawing gorey things as well.
I identify with being an atheist, but met God in a dream recently. Part of me truly believes it was significant, and my image of God is far different from the general populous'. One day I hope to draw it.
I struggle to be one of the guys and also convey my ability to be feminine and 'clean up well'.
I'm also a huge Harry Potter nerd.

no problem, I was really excited to see how photorealistic some of your drawings were, and I've always been a fan of exquisite corpse!
