some of my polaroid photos are up at the hibbleton gallery in fullerton, along with 100+ artists from all over the U.S. and Europe. kevin staniec (creative executive director of ISM: a community project) just sent an email saying that our photos will be up at the bergamont station gallery in santa monica in january!! i'm so excited about this.
in addition to this exciting news,
i'm planning a small group show in march and maybe participating in another group show before the new year.
i'm taking 4 studio classes and 1 lecture class (as of right now....) and i'm feeling pretty good about this semester. it's going to be a tough one but I NEED TO GRADUATE!!! i have 7 more classes to take which means approximately 2 more semesters. oh degree, i want you so badly!
visit http://www.ismcommunity.org/ for more info on the polaroid show. kevin is accepting more polaroids so if you have any, you should submit! |

this semester i'm taking life studies drawing and painting, typography, printmaking/etching and contemporary art history. i wanted to add another class but was very afraid of taking 4 studio classes...i don't think i would be able to. i feel that my energy is spread thin with 3 studio classes, just because they require so much dedication and hard work. i'm not trying to complain about school. i just feel that i'm not giving each class enough of my individual attention. deadlines upon deadlines and homework stacking up....don't get me wrong, i'm learning a lot from each class and understand that each class will benefit me one way or another. i just wish i could work on my own thing without feeling that it would jeopardize school work.
i'm still looking for (another) job. i don't work very often at my current job and i hate having to rely on my parents for all my art supplies. i'm very lucky to have their support.
also,
i'm beginning to think i should start a blogspot or deviantart to post some artwork. i'm usually very shy/private about my work, but i just need to suck it up and PUT OUT.

being sick has its advantages.
you have a lot of alone time.
the past three days have been filled with reading, instrument playing, and the occasional sloth-like television flipping...i don't see why the television is so appealing to other people...unless they have nothing better to do that day i suppose. it's so unreal and so far away from human nature almost. i guess it's not too different from the internet but at least there's SOME form of human communication.
today i was practicing claire de lune on the piano. my piano is located in the room with the two biggest windows in the entire house...taking more than half of the wall space. this room changes mood whenever the weather decides to do so. and today, the weather seems extra temperamental.
while playing claire de lune, i felt the room change. the sun came and so did the clouds, back and forth as if it were dancing to the melody. as if it felt the sadness as well as the beauty in the music. it's a strange thing when you combine the love of music and intertwine it with the beauty of nature. the feeling is pure and natural.
there are so many thoughts i wish i could express coherently, but i lack the ability to organize and prioritize. i guess i'll leave it at that. |
