Well, Once again, I am back home. I took the train, the Amtrak for time purposes, watched the amazing swamps and straw colored places, and long sticks rising out of the ground, basically limbless trees all dark and rhythmic on the very strange and fantastic clearings, and of course there were the yawning holes and smokestacks and dead buildings, ( Read more... )

I find out recently that I'll be back home again this weekend. So, would someone like to meet saturday sometime?

Finished "Understanding Comics" this evening. This means that I understand comics a little bit better. So I checked out a Wacom Tablet and decided to play around with it in the computer lab. The yield is not so great, but I am currently trying to post my first decent page on here. Thats an exercise in egotism, of course, but I want to share it and ( Read more... )

So apparently I am doing pretty well in EMAC, but not in terms of the actual art. This isn't surprising since I haven't been able to get very engaged in that class, in comparison to the others. I think she wants me to push it conceptually, make it fully realized and planned and such. That means basically that I have to rethink my entire MO for the ( Read more... )

Woke up this morning to snow, and it was almost spring yesterday, or one of those moments in between, with the perfect sort of air that promises way too much, and the perfect sort of light on the still yellow grass and the trunks of the trees, also still in fall and winter colors. Then I wake up, and for a while I think that maybe I wasn't seeing ( Read more... )

Ok, so I am back for a week and its good to rest, though I am only starting. Everytime I return, it seems that there is a beautiful sky outside the car windows, but then I nod off to sleep. There were trees this time that were skeletal, but because the day was on the very verge of ending they had live, warm streaks around their sides, and you could ( Read more... )

Wednesdays are the hardest days in a way, simply because they are taken up, by class and work, from eight thirty in the morning till seven at night. But then again, almost every day is pretty tiring and busy. And that is not at all a bad thing, since despite how exhausting it might be, I actually glimpse meaning and purpose in all of it sometimes, ( Read more... )

I'll be here at least till 10 o'clock tonight, it seems. So if anyone wants to visit or something, you would be more than welcome.

Well, this weekend thus far hasn't quite gone exactly as planned, but at least I got to see Olga and Andrea for a short while yesterday. Though I came home to rest and see people, I spent the larger part of today, after my haircut, working on my EMAC homework. Once again, I worked for close to five hours, maybe the full six, and it was rubbish, ( Read more... )

Its been a very long week, and the work kept on coming. I am guessing that it might be that way for the rest of the semester, which wouldn't be that bad, except I need more confidence in my work, or to make it better, or something. If there is a rate of improvement, its pretty slow. Its little by little ( Read more... )
