Postcard

Out of the three postcards that we made this is my favorite one.

Also.

So Proud

So I need to remember to do:
1. 3 Post cards
2. Logo and Letterhead
3. Resume!!!
Anyways. I'm really proud of this thing I made.... A copy of roy lichtenstiens work, redone in photoshop. Instead of just plain colors all of them have textures.

Class.

I wasn't in class today again. I'm so pissed, because truthfully, I like my Computers class. My alarm clock has a mind of its own and didn't wake me up again. Another new thing I need to get.
And I stayed up til all hours of the night finishing my computer homework, amoung other things. And since I didn't get to show everyone in class today, here it is:
This is the second blending test thing I did. And my favorite. I don't think I'll put the others up because I like this one so much. And because I don't have much to say about them.
WELL. The computer isn't letting me upload anything else anyways. So maybe later.

Self Portrait.

Also, because I'm bored here's another post. A selfportrait for class. I like the colors in it, but my boyfriend doesn't because I look angry and it's the face I make when I'm mad at him.

Book

I was on stumbleupon.com today and found this awesome link in the arts section: www.lookatbook.com
It's this website for a sketchbook that was sent between 4 artists. Two in Brooklyn and two in Belfast. I really want a copy of it, but it's 55 dollars. Not to mention shipping and handling. But you can look at it all you want online for free. It's just you can zoom in on the images to see some of the details. And I collect books, so my natural instinct is to want to buy it.
So go look.

Work

Here's a couple things that I did in Illustrator that I didn't post. The first is of my friend Kate. It's a picture I took from her facebook. I turned her into a spy. I like how it turned out, but I really want to put an explosion or a sneaky looking guy in the background to confirm her status as a spy.
The other one is me. A self portrait done in text. The text is a poem that my friend Jake wrote. I really like it and am surprised it looks anything like me. So I'm glad it turned out how it did.

Out and About

I'm in the tech center on main campus. Main campus adventure!
I've only been here like twice. i was supposed to go see this career info thing with Random House Publishing here, but they didn't show up. Casual business attire. So I've been running around in a skirt all day in the cold. And since the next bus doesn't come until 7:30, I went and bought a pair of sweat pants to wear.
I'm excited for computers class next week. Since I missed this week. I spent so much time on the homework I really want to turn it in and have everyone be amazed, like Ryan was today.
And I have to find out what the homework is for this week. I have so much to do tonight. I've got to finish my folios, finish making a mold, fix my english paper, and find some stuff for my 2D project tomorrow.
I also need to make a trip to home depot to get some wood for my 3D project. And start that. It's due next week and I haven't really gotten anything done. We don't have 3D class tomorrow, but Friday is just a work day for that. But I think I can get it done this weekend. I also have 4 drawing to do over the weekend for drawing AND I need to study for art history.

Don't Know

Bleh. I have too much work to do. My drawing teacher is giving way too much homework and I have stuff leftover from last week since I was in the hospital for stitches. They still aren't healed, but they don't hurt anymore. and there's a scab, so I don't have to worry about getting charcoal or plaster or clay or anything in them. And now I just feel so run down and tired from everything.
I've been up so late for the past few nights trying to catch up on everything and mythroat feels so sore.
Complain, complain, complain.
What else?
I found a list online of Apples worst flops. The top 10 products that flopped:

First Adobe Illustrator Projects

The 1st part of the project was to create two pictograms each showing a job you would have considered if not art. This was my favorite of the two: an astronaut. Until I was about 8 I was convinced I was going to go on to the moon and maybe Mars. Then I think when I was 9 some kid in school told me NASA wasn't making any more trips to the moon, so there was that dream crushed. But I still thought I was going to go to Mars. Finally I figured out that there was no way I was going to go to Mars and besides the fact that they probably aren't going to get to Mars until I'm old I never had any idea how to go about becoming an astronaut. I don't like to exercise and I think it involves going into the air force, SOOOOOOO. That's a no.
The second part of my homework was to create a warning label for yourself. Mine was may cause confusion since sometimes my sense of humor confuses people. Like how when I first made the label and accidentally typed may cause conusion instead of confusion. I thought it was funny. But later, telling the story I couldn't get anyone to giggle. Maybe it isn't that funny.

Rusell Edson

I just spent the last 6 hours working on folios. On and off. I had to let a lot of it dry. But they're almost done. I ran out of black thread and nowI'm once again waiting for something to dry. I had to dip white thread in india ink to make it black. I had a better idea for them. On each page is a medical diagram of a hand or an X-ray of one, and torn up tracing paper that i had sewn on. On the tracing paper are pieces of a poem by Russell Edson called the Fight.
It goes:
A man is fighting with a cup of coffee. The rules: he must not
break the cup nor spill its coffee; nor must the cup break the
man's bones or spill his blood.

The man said, oh the hell with it, as he swept the cup to
the floor. The cup did not break but its coffee poured out
of its open self.

The cup cried, don't hurt me, please don't hurt me; I am
without mobility, I have no defense save my utility; use
me to hold your coffee.
I love Russell Edson's poetry. It's so funny.

3D Project

I've now been to all my classes. I was so excited to be back to school and have work to do again because I was so bored over winter break. And then none of my teachers have given me much homework. I can start working on my 2D folios, but I need to go get a goauche kit first. The first folio we have to do must be red. I want to do something like take photos or transfers of these trees's branches that I think look like veins and then make them into veins on a wrist. Then have an ocean, but red, like the bloodin the veins, with fish and such. And I want to havea mermaid on the last page, holding an umbrella with red rain coming down. Although I think that almost seems like emo, suicidal art, which is the only reason I wouldn't do it. I don't need the teacher thinking I'm going to off myself.
I did start working on my 3D project. Well one of them: taking photos of objects that have been worn away over time. So far I've taken pictures of the fillings in my teeth and I want to take pictues of my mom's smile lines around her eyes and mouth.

1st Blog Post

Well this is supposed to be a blog to keep a record of my days in art school for my computer class. I've failed miserably at getting any pictures up. The file size is not that big, but the computer has tried to keep me here for 10 mintues uploading a single image. Maybe the computer is just retarded. I think it is, so once I get my own computer fixed I'll try again.
