Waaaahhh

Ah school, I miss you already. 

Maybe one day soon my blog posts will get cool and relevant or something.

Daydreamin' and procrastinatin'

the end-of-year blues.

Well, here's a little installation snapshot of my last-minute inclusion for our group show One Night Stand, that took place last night at Eau Claire Market.

Well, I suppose that about wraps up (nicely) yet another year of craziness at art school... only one left of four.  That's actually kind of sad- I enjoy my cozy little studio and my art family...

My art-related to-do list for the summer:

make a drawing per day

work on some some old-school, acrylic-on-canvas paintings (!!!!)

set up an actual artist website (as this blog will quickly disintegrate back into random pastiche)

a couple group shows might also be nice.

TREKKING THROUGH ILLNESS TO THE END O' SEMESTER.

Here are some films that I'm projecting nice and large for my jury crit today!

I am pressing on... despite the fact that my throat feels like it's trying to swallow steel wool and fiberglass, and my fever is ragin': I HAVE NOT BEEN SICK IN OVER A YEAR, AND NOW THE GERMS DECIDE TO REAR THEIR UGLY HEAD???
