Yeah, these guys are my babies, babies that sometimes look like they're crippled or got hit by a truck, but babies nonetheless.

I got everything together today and took my oils for a test spin. I didn't actually paint anything, just basic color mixing stuff, getting used to having a warm and cool of each primary to use, finding out the properties of each one, how they interact, and just getting to know them in general. Painting with oils is like painting with butter that's been left out all day. Beautiful expensive carcinogenic butter. I could really go for a piece of toast right now...

I've been having such much fun in calc 3. So much so I might be embarrassed by it if I weren't enjoying myself so much. Maybe it's because I've jumped from the desert to a swimming pool, with a waterfall, well maybe not a waterfall... this is summer term at scc after all, but it's along those lines. I've missed this stuff more than I realized. I think I'm going to try to take some other classes at ucf in the future.

I haven't done paper mache in nearly four years. I can't believe I forgot all about it (or blocked it out maybe...). Leslie thanks for inadvertently reminding me about it (I realized it just now too), I don't know what I would do without you. Aqua boy and coraline's long lost clone are doing quite well, by the way.

tuesday - Shawn Barber talk & three hour oil painting demo
wednesday - five hour story boarding workshop from Sony
thursday - illustration demo night

I just want to stay up all night and paint stuff now, and would if I didn't have homework. I'm definitely going to try out a lot of new painting stuff and get into oils soon.

It was great to see all these guys work and see all these neat ideas, approaches, and solutions. I took some phone photos along with my notes [link] .

Anyways... I'm addicted to children's books. I just splurged on a bunch of hard to find ones by Charles Keeping and eagerly await them in the mail. He's so amazing...

My mom's a first grade teacher, so I'm around books a lot to begin with. Even as a baby I was obsessed with books, she would have to put them in my crib and I would look at them until I fell a sleep and when in my little swing she would put a book on the tray and turn the page every few minutes. I hadn't read any lately but that changed about a month ago. I was watching Olive the Other Reindeer on tv when I realized this time how amazing the art style in it is and became determined to read the book which it is based on. My library at school didn't have it, so I had to wait to raid the library at my mom's school. I didn't have any luck there though, but I started going through books on that end of the alphabet case and ended up bringing home a ton. Children's books are just so amazing! The illustrations are so varied. Really, the world of children's book illustration is so varied and rich, not to mention incredibly accessible. There exists such a range of style and ingenuity here, and it's incredibly inspirational. It seems so grossly overlooked too... which is a shame because there's so much wonder to be found here. I can't believe I didn't see until now, myself.

So, I suppose that brings me to the point of this post, to mention my new blog where I blather on about the books I read. I've also got pictures of the covers and selected spreads from each book. After all what good would a blog about children's book illustration be without illustrations?

and there's not enough nature around here...

In other news I got some retro label makers that totally look like rayguns with letter spools at the local goodwill. The goodwill here is actually pretty cool because It's got a lot of different stuff. I think it's because it might be the only one around for a while... lol. So, anywho, I'm thinking about modding them over break to make them look even cooler. I might just laze around and integrate functions though, only time will tell.

...I should post something to da... maybe I will. maybe I wont. I'm not going to do homework until the 3d labs open though so the forecast looks pretty good. I haven't really drawn anything in a long time though. go figure.

This toy project is such a beast. I still have to carve the legs, make the shirt/tie, make his head, learn how to make silicon molds, cast with resin, run tests with the magnets, make 6+ molds and at least as many casts, paint them all, design a box for everything in photoshop, then print it out and put it all together. Oh, and guess what. It's due in one week.

!#%@^W$YHRTH$%UE$T@TW$E.

I'll post it if I'm still alive.

On the bright side, if everything works out, which would be nice, I'll be able to make a few duplicates and maybe sell them, or something.

Why can't we just read to read? Why can't we just enjoy the words? Why can't we just savor the ideas, the emotions? Apparently that's just not good enough. No, we've got to sit around in a circle and discuss to death every poor scrap of literature which has the misfortune of crossing our paths. We've got to find out what it means and go symbol searching. It's like wine tasting. We take a sip from any given page, swish it around for a moment in our collective minds and then spit it into some sordid bucket. It's disgusting. It's insulting. It makes me sick to see works brought down like this and forced upon us to be discussed and analyzed collectively. And so the required comments compound into a watery soup with with so many spices that it loses its taste. It degrades both us and the works.

Maybe I'm just being cynical. Maybe I'm disappointed because I know whats coming tomorrow. Maybe I just caught sight of that long hidden light in books which I haven't had the pleasure of seeing in some years, the light which reminds me why I read.

Either way, those are my sentiments.

I hope I don't vomit the next time I have to didls something.

and I've got to start applying to college. Ringling, among others start posting their applications in mid september... I don't have anything on portfolio level in my eyes and I've only got a month to really get anything accomplished while getting my homework done so I can keep my grades up to keep my 4.0.

I need to try to reexpose my screen sometime... and probally thicken up the many problem lines another pixel...

there was a pit firing and raku firing today. fun stuff. I need to make something good to raku. I did my test exposures yesterday and it only took ~5 minutes to expose the screen with the sun, at just about sunset too. I found the best way to mask my pots, cover the entire thing in masking tape and cut away with an exacto knife the pattern.

Spring break starts tomorow!

Oh! I'm going to a portfolio day at Ringling this weekend . Got sats the day before though. Not at all worried about that, I did pretty darn good on the psats.

edit.
oh wow. I just talked to my dad. He had come by earlier today and got mom's old kick wheel out the storage in the barn and moved it to the cleared out part. He had come over a few times before and had an awful time trying to get it out and I had pretty much given up on the idea of being able to use it. I just walked out there to the barn with a flash light and right in the middle of the concrete is the wheel. I was so blown away I just started crying. lol. just, oh wow.

I was late to calc and didn't get in trouble. Best of all I had practically all of my homework, which is probally a first in weeks.
The essays we read in english today were actually quite interesting, dare I sare riveting.
I trimmed my two plates and learned to further appreciate coning.
Leslie and I stretched two screens today and I'm happy with them. They were coated with emulsion too.
All I had to do in physics was go over a section or two, so I started working on my squid for my tshirt.
I finished it up and inked it next period. I really like it .

Well after school I went to see if I could stay and work in ceramics, which I could since they were staying through for the salt firing that day. So I stuck around and threw for two hours. I got mostly messed up stuff that I plan to play around with. I can't wait to see how eveything turns out.

I had a good day.

Contact comes out for the DS friday D:!!!

I'd really like to start submitting some work. Maybe I could use it as an incentive to actually focus to actually focus and power through my online class work. The absurdity of the classes is worth it though because after I'm through them I wont have to take history and by doing them online I get to take ceramics portfolio which makes all the trouble worth it. I love that class. I want to run over to axners and pick up some porcelin and stains. mmm underglazes and utrasmooth white/vibrant fun ahoy! It's great to be able to buy things now that I've got that extra money from tutoring in math.

I really should start working now...
