so much has happened.... damn it why cant i have more time! its like i blink and a month goes by. right now i finally have a chance to sit down and get some words out of my mind. i'm trying to remember what i've done these past few weeks, i know i went to my friend brooklyns place in upstate NY for a weekend and she lives on such beautiful land with horses and Richard Serra stuff in view from her house. gorgeous. I went to CT again with my room mate tiffany for thanksgiving and got a bunch of work done and did some partying to unwind from the school schedule. the AIB library has let me make a few posters for them and i just finished designing a time line for world history compared to art history. it just started snowing a lot yesterday and its still snowing today and probably forever it looks like.

so i had an epiphany. i need to get back to my roots of art. i'm really loving the work i'm creating and i had such a great semester of artwork done. BUT. the reason why i even started to do art in the first place was to express myself. if i was sad or depressed i'd make art representing that and it would make me feel better. i've been kinda stressed with all this work i'm doing for freelance, senior year at school, work at the library that i barley have time for anything. so this break i'm going back to my roots and making art in all kinds of mediums with MY style of art. Last night i made a scratchboard which can be seen on my deviant art and it was so much fun. i also got into screen printing and my friend is going to show me how to make paper so i can make paper and my own prints. i'm going to try to make some money with my own illustrations just so i can get that release and satisfaction of doing my own thing away from the computer for a minute. i love you computer, dont get me wrong. i just need to remember why i started doing art.

Do it.
Take the time to do your own thing... You'll be refreshed and rewarded. Love the scratchboard. D.
