The Duderstat

I've decided to become a library geek. I had to go for 2 hours today with CFC 1 and I found this sweet series of books called American Illustration. Apparently they put one out every year and it has over 300 illustrations in it. I looked at every single one today right before my nap and I plan to look again. It makes me want to get a nice heavy-inked black pen and doodle for hours. It was nice to look at since I'm thinking about what I want to print and on what surface I want to print it. I'm thinking I'm going to make some kind of a sweet bag and print a simple black outline of a girl with a ponytail holding up a cherry on its stem with an open mouth. I need to look through my fabrics...they're somewhere under the bunkbeds...

I didn't think I'd have a third quarter slump but in the first week of classes I can already tell that I am. I need to snap out of it and get inspired. I'm going to go shoot photos this weekend I think. My drawing homework will be excellent and I'm going to spend three hours on top of that drawing hands. I have a Bjork research paper too...I guess I'm going to be busy. I'm supposed to go to Rendezvous, hang out with Renae, & go to Studio4. Geez.

I need to get to work on my dance. Every letter and symbol has been assigned a body part...I just need to choreograph the words, then variations on the words, then video it, send it, teach it, make a dance and such..this is a busy semester!
