numb

I want to feel more.

I just got a job at Ann Taylor. Yay me. I start next week. Besides that, nothing productive is happening. I stayed at home the last few weeks, spending time with my family. Making some more art, bike riding, eating, the good stuff.

Hopefully I'll be in a different place, physically and mentally by next week.

Summer Art

Right now I have some free time so I created a new Milton painting. It is not finished, I still have some detail to add. I tried to experiment more with color, contrast, and medium. I used colored pencil, watercolor, acrylic, newspaper, and marker. I made every thing up on the spot, just spilled my random miltonosity onto a an old piece of foam core (i ran out of everything else). The painting is 2 feet by 3 feet, and it is entitled "I Read The News Today". It reminds me a bit like Bosch's Garden Of Early Delights.

I took this with my phone...















I did a few others, but I don't think they are worth posting, especially with the horrid quality with my cell. (I need to get a new camera) Time at home has been nice. Boring, but relaxing. I got my wisdom teeth removed last Tuesday, so I've been taking it really easy this week (aka going on Facebook and eating ice cream). I spent some time with my sister, she is quite the painter herself. She did a baby portrait, and it was one out of 5 paintings chosen by the art department chair of our high school to be sent to the Mayor, and it might be displayed at the Capital Building in DC. Pretty sweet. I'm listening to some 90's bands as usual...Letters to Cleo, B.I.G., Sneaker Pimps, Veruca Salt...I really want to see Third Eye Blind in concert in June if anyone wants to go with me.

Tomorrow I'm going on my bike and I'm going to start reading "White Teeth" by Zadie Smith.

Check out my new flickr by the way. http://www.flickr.com/photos/38953983@N08/

Topanga

almost halfway

it was a rainy day, which means a rainy mood. i was listening to older coldplay most of the entire day. i just came back from dancing though, which was fun. passover began on wendesday. this is my favorite holiday, but this year i couldn't adhere to all of the rules, its a bit hard as a college student. but traditions like these, i not only get to bond with my family, but i learn more about myself and how i should stop taking a lot of things for granted.

i took pictures of my sister printmaking the other day. i might use them for a photo essay for my imaging class, but i still want to travel around brooklyn and take more pictures before anything is final. my sister went to the same highschool that i graduated from to years ago. its a wonderful school, it is one of the reasons why i am at pratt. im so happy and nostalgic of my sister going through the same process, she is really enjoying it and is very talented. her 16th birthday was today.

Hi I started a blog.

I felt like starting a blog today. I thought it would be a good way to procrastinate with design procedures homework. We're doing this recycled paper swatch book project that has been going on since the beginning of the semester. Well, here you go. Enjoy.
