Final Drawing Project. I chose my research topic, and I chose deer (you can tell I put a lot of thought process into it.) And I was stuck, I didn't to do the symolism of deer because i felt it would be to cheesy. So I learned that the stag in Christian art can be a symbol of ressurection and decided to take it literally. Put deer heads on religious figures. I also wanted to make it look like it was vandalized, so I drew Byzantine era images and then painted some deer heads and stuck them on there. They are really funny looking, I laughed as soon as I stuck the heads on them. I got a good response during critique and my teacher really liked them. So do I hear A+? I hope so.

I think i'm going to go crazzzzy. Final projects are intense. But after this I'm done for a month! Except I have a lot of my own personal projects to do, so no break for me really. At least I'll get to sleep in.
These are the two final stop animations I did, It took awhile because I had to edit each fram individually but it was worth it. They were based on a film by John and Yoko Ono that I watched called "Rape" (it's not what you think.) You can watch it here It's a bit long but I watched the whole thing and didn't mean to, it's really intriguing, and it makes you a little uncomfortable.

(Youtube fucked up te quality really bad, but what can you expect.Oh, and turn your sound on)

I need

a serious adjustment. It's funny how I believe in going after, working hard,and pursuing anything in life minus one aspect. I don't expect you to just fall into my lap, nothing happens that way I know that, I believe that, but it's funny how I let all of you just slip out of my fingers. Maybe because I didn't like you, maybe because I was scared. I don't want to be put into a position where a person can hold onto or destroy my happiness. I don't like being that out of control.

Just a thought.

Art History Notes, November 25.

I still get good grades though!

Peace bones?

Is what I need, I am looking forward to winter break so much, I have a huge workload ahead of me before the semester is over though. A drawing project series, two time studio animations, and a serious english paper. Next semester I'll also be taking French, World Religions, and Painting & Printmaking, three more credits than I need. I also may have to take some summer course if I want to double major in international studies. So busy, but I like it that way.

I bought some thigh-knitted socks on Tuesday, and I haven't taken them off in a couple of days. So comfy and warm! And I leave you with a stop motion experiment I did, we have to do two full length ones in the next couple of weeks,I'm excited.

Past Few Weeks

I've decided to keep this up at least semi-daily. I want to better myself (when do I not actually?) Whether it's just daily writings or poems, or photographs or artwork I'm doing. Maybe even what I'm wearing, who knows. The thing I don't like about blogs is I feel they're slightly ego-centric, but the American society is based on egocentrism (that's a word, I looked it up, don't tell me it's not macbook.) so if you can't beat them join 'em I guess?
Anyway, we'll see how it goes. I'm going to go buy a new sketchbook(my old one's falling apart) and a chai tea latte. Frivolous spending? Yeah, maybe a little.

I took these photographs for my photography project class, they weren't supposed to be good, I didn't want them to be, but he really liked them. How bizarre.
