Rode my bike around downtown today. Need to be in that area more, I rarely go beyond 8th.
Rode down to Portland Art Museum to check out the Greek Vase for my Art History paper. Got side tracked in the Chuck Close exhibit for an hour and a half. Amazing work. His work is made so much in the color choices; such an eye for it all. The grind systems don't look so hard to work with but just the tonal ranges and the use of every color from every spectrum. Just wow.
Patrick thought he was being really funny a few weeks ago when he said Chuck Close should try different styles, branch out a little more and that it didn't matter that he was paralyzed. Patrick thinks he is funny but most times he is just a douchebag. I don't have a problem with anyone else I have met, everyone here is wonderful and knows to hold themselves in social situations pretty well. Except for Patrick, he just doesn't get it. There is a reason why we chew into his work a little more during 2D Design and Digital Tools critique. Part of it is his hovering over our work and giving his unasked for opinion like he is some photography God when really hes just some freshman with fancy cameras.
The Chuck Close exhibit steered me into the gift shop and I saw a hilarious Christmas Card set but after looking at the price I decided I could be funnier. I did buy a lovely ring for my right hand. But that was it. Had to hold off from all the shiney pretty books.
After the museum I rode down around 4th heading towards China Town. Little traffic and the sun was just the right amount of bright and not blinding.
Made my comic run, Doktor Sleepless and Black Summer. Also the new issue of The Boys, yay! That wasn't supposed to come out for a few more days. After Floating World Comics I went into Compound Gallery but the gallery was closed off for renovation. There was an annoying kid and I would have like to browse the store some more but the kid was so annoying I left. Little beggar child, poor hipster parent.
Rode home and have relaxed for a few hours. Now to write my paper!
