Day 3 & 4

All the sketches are actually from today, I was bad and went to see the Cuba exhibit at the Musee des Beaux Arts yesterday instead of drawing. I found an Ideology Detector, though (*snicker*)

People smelled really wonderful there, like bubblegum and sunscreen. I almost didn't mind how ridiculously overcrowded it was. ALMOST didn't mind, I admit I skimmed over some stuff due to claustrophobia, but that's what a free day at a museum will get you, I guess. It was a good day to be outside and wandering in breezy downtown sun, at any rate.

Day 2

This has nothing to do with anything, but I ADORE Jeffrey Lewis, is all. I'm listening him sing through the History of Punk on the Lower East Side right now, and he even threw the Silver Apples in there, and it's comprehensive and fun and full of his scratchy boyish monotone. Wee!

I had a day full of disappointments but none of them were that disappointing -- gross energy bar, gross diet blackcurrant soda, gross um... seitan dinner. Okay, it was all food disappointments. And I did find this awesome bracelet for a dollar.

My life IS the embodiment of excitation.

Day 1

All right. I cook too much and I don't draw enough... and it's time to switch the balance. For some reason I'm even getting sick of imagining kumquat cupcakes and goji toast all the time... so I'm hereby promising myself and the world one (1, uno, une, a) drawing per day. At the very least. I just need to get back into the habit of using my pencils as therapy, release, entertainment, and stress-free noodling. Like a kid in a sandbox.

Anyway, she's called leafbutt candlehead ---

Expect more tomorrow!

gah, no ideas, I cut and paste instead...

"the fruit is health and life"

"...one in a million"

Okay, I'm a lazy dreamer and completely without focus right now. Other people have no idea what they're doing, right? Should I run away to Malaysia? Send away for an apron and my choice of acceptable addictions? Continue on living... slightly mechanically? DROWN IN DIET CRANBERRY SODA??? This is only because I don't have an idea for my summer drawing project yet... I'm so predictable. *eyeroll*

And indulgent. :D

a spoonful of sugar...

We had to make trinkets for our last day of drawing class - a "useless accessory" to trade, while we drank from jugs of wine and basically reveled in the least drawing-y assignment ever assigned. I got my days mixed up and only just finished mine this afternoon, but they will get handed out later, during one-on-one evaluations. Aaaaanyway.... they're spoons. Printed with sobering thoughts, dipped in candy apple sugar coating and only slightly burnt. Medicine for the soul! Chicken soup need not apply. Did you know that plastic melts like a mofo if you're not careful about dipping it into boiling pots of sugar?

Sweeeeet.

angelus... or like, maybe doctors.

Just a quick piccy for now... the last few weeks of school are involving a lot of studio time and stress and not so much in the way of carefree blogging. Plus I'm feeling nicer these days and not so willfully ambiguous, so I'll even tell you straight up that these are angels. Sort of. Anyway, I'll post my final painting series later, not that anyone reads this page (schroedinger's ending statement or just horribly ironic???? true logicians are laughing at me). Ta!

lesgo to the belgo

when I talk to you, I absorb your manner into me

and I hear snippets of conversational echoes from the kids across the city

you say it's probability

and it might be science

and it might just be that we're not so different
