this month is too busy, i am exhausted, and more posts to come especially from the show i have at the start of december.  also will post all print work/other stuff from semester when it's over and i have time to document.

trying to get ones head together is so much harder than one thinks.

I can't afford to drink as much as I thought I would, but I also thought that I would become an alcoholic (by choice).  I haven't really got time or money for alcohol.  
Most of my time is spent working: on projects that are due, as an RA, studying, cooking dinner (this takes up so much time) and as a design lab assistant.  I've decided I don't like putting myself in these situations where there's never-ending amounts of work that actually see no end.  There is never a moment in my life where I can truthfully say I'm free to do whatever I want! I say it knowing I have a lot of work to do but give myself a break.  Is this why they invented "vacation"? How awful. I better get out of the cycle a.s.a.p.

Anyway, art update... I'm painting more watercolors of Paris and this time they're actual panoramas.  I'm still doing 8ft. digital watercolor panoramas that are, with any luck, going to be insane and wonderful.  We've almost finished designing a manual for the Uganda project (Mangotree) and after visiting this amazing design company MediaLogic I want to do wood sculpture again and am planning things for next semester.
I have a show in December called T-Party with the amazing Dong Hwi "Thomas" Shim in the student gallery space and another meant to be in early November for students that travel abroad.
I love art still, just... can't seem to ever focus on what I want.




Advice for the month: Pick up a copy of Adbusters - guaranteed to blow your mind anytime.

it's my favorite month because it's my birthday... my actual 21st this time... so if you don't hear from me in october it's because i've spent the entire month drunk, in the bar drinking, having wine with dinner, or sipping beers in between work.

art is love. it's senior year so they've given me my own beautiful studio space and i've been doing design and print shop work that i will post at the earliest convenience. everything else in my life is boring, sadly necessary, and completely pales in comparison... well not everything, but you've got the idea. i'm just working to get to next semester when life actually starts...

until then,

today my fake id turned 23. i partied too hard last night (absenthe) so i don't have the  gut to go out, it's really sad. aah, nyc, you have been good to me, i am sorry i didn't take a better advantage of you, but i'm one of those innocent girls. too innocent.

well, onto art. i miss having access to programs and high speed connections, my computer is my baby, but my babies getting old.  my internship is going well and my portfolio will hopefully be rockin with some substantial stuff.
otherwise being a professional face painter gives me this artistic high.  i get to draw on peoples bodies with paint... that is so cool.  it's kind of like living out a childhood fantasy and getting paid to do it.
and that sums it up. i love my grandmother and all her old lady friends that i go out to dinner with every week.  i think the experiences i've gotten to have this summer i will hold onto for a lifetime... and i wonder how they will effect me & art & life.

much love<3

holy shit its june.

i ended college finals in may, had a week to pull myself together/close shop and look at senior shows, and then i flew to paris. i stayed for two weeks, there are one too many stories to tell that i won't indulge in here. i fell in love with picasso even though my project was on toulouse-lautrec.

i returned to move to queens and start an internship in manhattan. in short i moved from one city to an even bigger city. i am totally confused and haven't had a spare moment to digest life in... 4 months... or at least 4 weeks.

welcome to june, a month for digesting.

p.s. made tons of work, will scan it in... soon.
