I've been pretty busy this week, but luckily I did find time to do a little drawing. I have plenty more sketches that look like poop, so you won't be seeing any of those I think. But maybe you will; who knows? The student 200 show is coming up, which means i have to scramble to get some work done before Thanksgiving. Oh boy...That's gonna be fun. But I've discovered that the busier I was the more I wanted to sit and draw, so maybe I'll start pumping out some more stuff, I dunno what type of work it will be, but hopefully it will be something of interest.

Ceramics is kind of taking up a lot of my time right now, but I hope you've sort of been enjoying the few things I've posted. I'll be continuing ceramics in independent study next semester, so you'll be seeing more of it.

I'll take requests for drawings if anyone has ideas; I'm totally open for suggestions right now. I have very little absolutely-have-to-get-done work as of this moment. So throw something up.

How's life, kiddos?

So basically now that everything that I was previously excited about has pooped out in the last few weeks, my life has become pretty complicated again. School is doing this crazy business of sucking up all my time, which I find rather annoying. I also have pretty much no time to be creative outside of class, which I find rather frustrating. I'm also not very excited about the upcoming holidays other than the fact that I will get to see my boyfriend again. I'm dreading Christmas this year as usual. But pretty much my whole outlook on life has been filled with a vague sense of dread. I feel a little warped right now.

On the bright side, my three year anniversary with my boyfriend is fast approaching, and I must say that for a long-distance relationship we manage just fine. I'll save the mushy-gushy stuff for the actual event. I would like to say I will have a celebratory drawing to post, but i doubt I will. But just in case I'm moved by a sudden spurt of creativity, be on the lookout.

In closing, I'm kind of failing as an "artist" right now, but hopefully I can make some sort of triumphant return after the holidays and I have a nice long break during which to get all crazy-ass creative again.

"Art is like beginning a sentence without knowing its ending."

Have a good day/week/life, everyone.

A few of the frazillion things I am excited about:

+Art club

+Ceramics project (we're making tea pots)

+Contract work (Ok, maybe not quite as excited about that, but it's good to get some money, haha.)

+Writing again (I had some major inspiration after not writing poetry for a while. It feels nice)

+Nudie drawing AKA figure modeling (It's fun drawing naked people posing)

+Fall break: I'm going to see my boyfriend in Colorado at the end of the week! I'm pretty sure i'm more excited about this than anything else on this list. Actually I know I am.

+Learning how to crochet (I wanna make cute scarves and hats and gloves!)

+Pep band (it's ridiculously fun-10 times better than high school band)

+Origami (I got some really pretty new paper that a friend sent me from Japan)

+Pumpkin pie (I made some using actual pumpkins instead of the pie filling. yum!)

Hope everybody has a great week!

Phew! Midterms are next week, so I can't promise anything terrible interesting in the next week or so. I know I kept promising all this stuff...well I obviously can't keep up with everything. Ceramics kind of eats up all my time right now. But I'm trying to sketch some things that won't be a total fail. I should have some artist trading cards to show by November. I'll see you then!

So I'm really busy with classes right now, but I will have a couple of school projects to post here soon. Maybe. I promise. Haha. Life is a little hectic, and I really want to draw but it's difficult to find time to just sit down and do it. I'll post something interesting by the end of the month. We'll see how it goes after that.
