Cabbage is Green

this is [part of] my design for my litho class. my stone is HUGE. it weighs about 200 lbs. and takes two people to move it. i had to reflect the image so it could be read because when you print from a stone everything needs to be backwards so when you print it will be right-reading. this is going to end up being my last run. i have a background color i'm doing on my posi-plate and haven't decided if i want it to be pink, red or light green. my second run is just the green of the cabbages and this [my black run] is on my stone. i'm excited. my image is going to be 11½"x11½". because we're doing so many runs and going about the crits "professionally" [meaning we're critiquing state proofs, artist proofs and then the finals] the whole thing is taking us until midterms.
-and yes, it was hard to do the writing backwards, as you can see some of my letter's are little funky.

polite graffiti

Christine Finley wallpapered some dumpsters as "polite graffiti". I dig.

pancake obsession ♥

Anne Mailey is coming to visit me! She goes to MICA but wants to transfer somewhere. Hopefully it's SCAD! I have to pick up a futon from a friend for her to sleep on, and I can't wait to do that because when I get back I'm making pancakes for breakfast. Mmm... I really want some pancakes and tea, and to do a Wonderword.

future Rory Gilmore

i have recently decided that i need to start dressing better. i'm getting older and i want to feel older. when i dress better, i look older. when i wear hoodies and jeans i could easily be mistaken for a high schooler. i always feel this way when i'm at home, and i care about dressing better for the people i'm around or could potentially run into, but when i'm at school it's so busy and fast paced that i don't bother with taking the time to look better. i don't really care what anyone at school thinks, and in my down time i want to relax or have fun, not have wasted it because i just spent 30 minutes doing my hair and make-up. i love my hair when it's straight but it takes so damn long. and usually most people can dress better because they are in majors that require a computer or nothing liquid of any sort. photography chemicals, inks, isopar... it never ends for me. what's the point of looking like a grown-up if i'll just ruin it? and why try and look nice when i'll rip it all off three hours later and put on gym clothes? i can't wait until i'm out of school so i can dress how i want all the time.
