After listening to this great presentation by Nick Campbell on the “creative gap,” I have decided to take one of his main points to heart and start creating a short project everyday. So, as of this Monday, I have been creating new work by the bucketloads (or, at least, once a day, everyday), and would […]
Alright, we’re back on track. This post is all about the concept art that will go into the final collage edits – I chose to work it out in Photoshop beforehand rather than draw and erase over and over (I’m much better at vectoring than using hand-eye coordination!). I used two reference pictures for this […]
(my SOCLR graphic – click to actually read!) I want to describe my SOCLR experience in a series of experiences, similar to the way I have previously described New York. 1. First day, waiting for the bus, lugging too much stuff, I am aided by a kind (and stronger) hand.2. I almost cry on multiple […]
(click to see a larger version) Today is my 19th birthday. It was a fairly low key affair spent with gourmet pizza, vegan desserts (Pala Pizza and Babycakes are both delicious!), and my dear roommate Liberty. For the workaholic in me, there was also a gift: I mandated that I could do no work today […]
Everyone thinks the troll is made of stone.His long terraced fingers rest inanimate and no breath shoots from between his closed lips. His body is grey and ever-locked in a soulful expression of grief, lost in thought.

I have had the strangest sleep cycle for the past day and a half; I took a monstro-nap this afternoon after going to bed only 2 hours later than I normally do and getting the same amount of sleep. Now I’m here again at 12:30am wide awake and feeling kind of strange. Maybe it was […]
Today (and yesterday), I have embarked on the Make J Pretty scheme. It’s not just for prom, though that seems like the most obvious reason. No, in truth, I have just found the urge to make myself pretty for myself and my new boyfriend [Joshka, if you were wondering – see Facebook or this picture, […]
I’ll take my pick. As foretold by the ancient seniors of old, I believe that my desire to do anything has just gone down tenfold. Scratch that. My desire to do things remains the same, but my motivation surrounding said things is waning. Following the days of my intense productivity, my “normal” mode has been […]
Today was just awesome.For photography, for food, for hanging out with people, for… well, a lot of things. I am going to have a really long-winded post today just to belt out all of this stuff from my system. And then there are the 50 billion pictures that I am going to put – at […]
