I've been having trouble
Staying awake at lectures
No matter how interesting
They may have been.
My good friend Mike,
Seeing my trouble,
Helped me rediscover
 The joy of doodling.
The only catch
Was that I had to catch up
On notes during reading week.

The End.

For our studio course this term, McKay has made it so that we'd submit all our work by posting them up on a collective blog. Our projects so far have all been group projects, so yeah.
If you're looking for the projects i've been working on in my groups, I did analysis on the Eames Residence, and did the design for the prefab DM House. The links should be under the Pages menu at the left side of the blog. If you like, you'll also be able to see the work of my classmates! yay

needing an outlet 12.23.2008 |

i need a creative outlet.

yet, i can't get myself to do anything. not even chores, things that i HAVE to do. i just can't move. just sitting there watching a movie, or listening to music.
after a while, you'd just get damn bored.

hopefully i can force myself to go down Main St Unionville tomorrow and take some photos. it's the least i could do, though some sketches would be nice. If i can get myself to do it.

i miss doing my own creative thing, but somehow i've lost touch with it.
So help me God.

I'm tired. 11.19.2008 |

physically, emotionally, spiritually, mentally. Just did my (15th?) allnighter last night... and had to stay at school all day for interim critiques, and then a lecture till 10:30pm. so why the hell am i blogging at 1:30 in the morning when i finally could be sleeping?


beats me.


Thank God for visual communications class. I think it's my only connection to sanity (drawing class) right now, a class where i could actually relax for once. So i actually do have stuff that i Could post up here, BUT i realized that i left everything at school. sooooo, next time :D

While in New York, i discovered an obsession with high-end notebooks. At Barnes & Noble i ended up spending about $30 on notebooks :| . but they're really nice ones. I started using one of them, a RED cover Moleskine. I love it. ANddddd i also bought a pack of Muji markers for $5 :D and i love them too . reminds me of when i was a kid and how i would spend hours colouring with a bucket of markers.

These next few weeks before the Christmas holidays are gonna be AWESOME. Essay, manifesto, final studio project (worth a fricking 55% of my final mark...!!), building construction test, novels for history ALL next week. holy shit.

and i quote: 9.16.2008 |

"art is a way of getting in touch with one's own insanity."

hear, hear.

and frozen dinners are the way to go.

a new friend of mine from studio broke down in tears after a crit last week.
today i decided that i will go to school early everyday, and randomly choose 3 people in my class and tack up a small piece of encouragement on their studio wall/board thing. i hope it helps. and, shh. it's a secret.

first project is due on Sunday. SUNDAY. what is this world coming to??

Apple just made a new Macbook model. which is disappointing because i just bought myself a Macbook pro last week. It's still [kind of] exciting though. i hope it arrives soon

it is finished. 7.29.2008 |


Not bothering to crop, kinda looks bad cuz of the lighting. Some critique i got so far was to sharpen up the detail in the hand gun. sooo... yeah until i have the time and motivation to fix it, this is how it'll be.
Paramore concert coming soon! Hopefully i can go but i haven't gotten tickets yet, or found enough people to come with my sister and i. Day camp... oh man. The kids are adorable, and are really good kids generally. But oh, my, gosh, i don't think i could take having kids of my own one day :P i dunno, maybe i might end up differently. who knows

Almost, not quite. 7.19.2008 |
