kayla took me to sam bosma's class today and listened in on a crit of their tiling patterns. patterns are pretty cool. she showed me how to make them and it's almost too easy. life will never be the same.......!

today, thanks to staring at the creamer counter at our lovely library starbucks for a good long while, i learned that a lot of people have probably never actually tasted coffee even if they drink it all the time.

Waldeinsamkeit: (German) n. the feeling of being alone in the woods.
a class exercise we did, "burning" graphite with gamsol oil - it's like painting. cool!

Fall semester has started, my summer was amazing, and now I'm rebooting this blog with a different approach. I started it two years ago with the idea that I would post a thing every day as an attempt at making myself be productive and make art all the time. Since then, I've gotten to the point where I don't need a blog to make me do that! So I'll post things, but not as much as previously, with the idea of (eventually) making some moneys off of my pictures. Stay tuned.

I keep having dreams of Europe.

this is my final for my design class. we were assigned a group and a story and had to make an animation for it. it was rough, but we had some pretty good times! as good as things can get while making a stop-animation thing in about two weeks.

it also happens to be my last project/homework/thing of the semester. it's over! I WIN.
