Yesterday:
I wore the mint green cropped jumpsuit to school today, the one I got at the holiday sale for $5. Got some compliments on it; nice to dress fun when it is so dreary all around.
Scanned in some of my new darkroom work and sketchbook to add to my website. The scanner kept scanning things smaller than I wanted and I had to redo about half of what I scanned. The weird glitches and kinks in my website seemed to get worked out. As much as I like Gordon, I will be glad for this class to be over. Only two more classes! One more week!
The substitute for Arvie was really enthusiastic about teaching. His methods were far different from Arvies; he had us to straight lines to build up the form and then come in with a contour. Sort of hard to explain, the final pieces don't have much emotion to me. Not really my cup of tea method of drawing. He gave us juice and cookies at the end. That was awesome. More teachers need to give out snacks.
Student council didn't have lunch, only candy canes. I stuffed my pockets and sat in for the meeting. Diana is the new moderator and that is downright awesome. Shes a real cool lady, that Diana.
After council, Jack and I went to Quizno's for lunch.
I made my comic run after drawing. I haven't been since First Thursday in November. Been a while, lots of comics had piled up. Two issues of The Boys, American Virgin, Black Summer, Y the Last Man and THE NEW PIRATES OF CONEY ISLAND!!! This comic was an eight issue mini-series. The first issue came out in October, 2006 and there was four monthly issues after that one. Then it went on hiatus while Vasilis Lolos did Last Call and I have been waiting since March for new issues. Such a rad comic, that one. So happy it is back with new goodness.
On my ride home I passed a Police Lady on a horse. About two blocks later I passed a pile of horse poo.
I finished my collage. Well, I haven't drawn in her face yet so I don't know if I am finished or not. It looks cool, nice and yellow/violet. Not quite Paranoia anymore. Hmmn.
Today:
Got my work done real quick. I do a good job, it just gets done quick and I have to kill time. Maybe something to clean will come up. Read some comics. Sean Carney gave me the OK to use the MFA's computers. Speaking of the MFA, they treat me nicer than the BFA's. Well they are a lot more conversational, some of the BFA are great and some just ignore me. Still, I like my job.
Midnight Update:
While biking home I saw Lindsay at about 13th and Burnside so I decreased my gear and escorted her home.
We watched Hedwig and the Angry Inch while eating dinner. Wonderful movie! Lovely songs and a good story. Is it wrong to be a little jealous about the costumes Drag Queens get to wear? I can't believe I went this long without watching it; what held me back?
Then I watched Kill Bill volume 1 and got to work on my comic. That movie and the part of Sin City I didn't finish a few nights ago; while watching those I achieved 23/50 panels pencilled onto Bristol paper. I got into a good rhythm, but the quality started to falter so I'm going to stop work for the night on it. Two more movies should be good for finishing it, if that. Then I have to ride my bicycle and find some of the architecture Libby recommended I write about.
Weekend goals: Finish comic on Saturday, scan it in and print out nice copy on Sunday so it can be critiqued on Monday. Find architecture on Saturday and write about it on Sunday and turn in paper on Monday. Plan out and start my second collage in the open time; due Wednesday.
