8:13 pm - i keep forgetting about this thing.
|
every night i am ready to pass out by 10pm. its kind of pathetic. lets see, after 15 hours of printing last week and 10 hours this week, i am finally finally finally done printing for my documentary final. my series is not really documentary and i wish i had more time to take even more shots because the series is rather disjointed. yesterday i worked on my silkscreen final for 6 hours straight. about 1 more week left of school. i can't burn out yet.
next semester i am interning at the creative alliance. i will be working with the art director there who used to be on the graduate school board at the chicago institute of art, which is a major score for me when it comes to connections. is it wrong that all i think about these days is meeting important people that could potentially hook me up with a nice responsible job in the near future? or take classes with professors only because i want them to write me recommendations. its just what it has come down to.
my current internship supervisor, jack, went to grad school with william burroughs. very cool.
a lot of picture posts soon to come. how much should i charge for a 16x20 color print?
[whoa, i was just about to sign my name at the bottom of this thing, because i thought i was writing an email for some reason. i write too many emails these days.]

11:03 pm - but the face of me and the face of you.

i really want to do a series of "out-takes" to my regular set up images. ie: these would be to the one's with the girl with the skull mask and black easter eggs. however, i don't have enough set-up images to make out-takes for. dilemma.
i want a bran muffin.
i have been printing like mad. making 8x10 stuff 16x20 cause 8x10 is way too small for me nowadays. i will have extras so i will prob set up a "prints for sale" thingie soon.

8:20 pm - "yuppie ennui" and "creative incest" are overused in art criticism.

my silkscreen teacher seemed to dislike this project because it was not on overpriced arches silkscreen paper. i dont care about her preferences because she is too traditional and i can print on plexi if i want to. for my next project im printing on red and white polka dotted fabric and for my final i am silkscreening on felt. silkscreening on white paper was making me feel trapped.
not the best reproduction, but you get the idea.
current mood: i hate my suitemates and wish
current music: them certain death! [oh and im listening to out hud.]

10:57 pm - is this the end of the haitus?
|
well, i wasn't really taking an intentional hiatus from this space. it just sort of happened when the semester started and i was unwillingly pummeled with tons of important things to worry about. i am now the official intern for radar reviewand that consumes massive amounts of my time because they make me drive around baltimore delivering radar's to the various major hotels and work the merch table for their hip hop benefit, etc. all the bitch work is balanced with cool stuff like meeting a bunch of important baltimore artists/editors/gallery owners etc. and they are letting me write an article for the next issue. both yay and yikes at the same time because i haven't really written anything formally art related for about a year.
i am wearing my jets to brazil shirt from 10th grade! it is an ugly hunter green. now i think: ick to both the band and the color.
i thought silkscreening would be more exciting, but instead it is just annoying because i am way too much of a perfectionist. we are screen printing four colors now and i am dying because the paint dries on my screen so fast and i end up having to wash it every 5 seconds.
this semester i have decided that my new medium of choice is felt. in the past it has evolved from easter eggs to plastic bags to plastic trash cans. now its going to be felt, until i get sick of it and become obsessed with some other synthetic material.
picture posting like old times to come.
current music: flaming lips.

10:28 pm - neglect.

school is kicking my ass right now, and its only been 1.5 weeks of the semester. OUCH. i have to keep 3 different sketch books/journals for 3 different classes and that is also ridiculous.
i hate snow and ice. i can't wear the shoes i want to wear because they are not made for slippery conditions. instead i have been rocking the blue doc marten lace up boots i got in 9th grade! oh what a fashion crime.
i love the unicorns. nick "neil" diamonds is the epitome of boys with bangs=sex. or more like wall of bangs that encapsulate his face, only revealing luscious lips. i want to know what sampler/groovebox thingie the drummer was using. it was all white with orange buttons. pink suspenders. mmmmm.
ok my throat is KILLING me. im super stressed, super tired, and super sick. and why did i sign up to have a class at 9am every tuesday and thursday?! oh right, i wanted to learn how to silkscreen finally. i am going to silkscreen on glass and mirrors dammit.
mike, its just not the same without you here!
tasha, thanks for your support of my obsession with acoustic fag music.
collin, you my caucazn.
oh god. sleep?

i have yet to write 2004 on a piece of paper.
tonite nic and i went to see mona lisa smile. oh what a horrible movie that made me hate kirsten dunst even more. [mind you that i hate kirsten dunst mainly because she got to kiss both brad pitt and tom cruise in interview with the vampire when she was like 12.] anyways, what a horribly predictable movie. ok so i can accept the fact that in a conservative 1950s world learning about picasso or pollock would be blasphemy, but did they really have to ask WHAT IS ART? in the movie. when they were flipping through the books with the close-up detailed shots of the mona lisa nic and i were both cringing. any movie that uses the mona lisa as a central thematic motif should be burned. the relationships, the characters, the conflicts, all so predictable and trite. and why was tori amos in the movie, good god why?
we had to cleanse ourselves and get two movies for the price of one, so nic and i decided to see master and commander. i know thats hard to believe but i was actually more than willing to sit thru a russell crowe movie after the complete failure that was mona lisa smile. even with nic saying" aw" after every scene that russell appeared in. surprisingly, russell seemed like he was born for the role and it was a very beautiful movie. i can't believe they got to film on the galapagos islands. darwin must be rolling in his grave.
i have gone to the movies 4 times in the past week and a half now. that fulfills my yearly quota practically.
current music: gang of four.
