Updated art section with stuff that’s been laying around on my computer or in my LJ for ages. Broke up Photography section. Also added the Angua MAA VSD to Writings. Yay.
Operation: “Hey, there’s more to Discworld than the Watch” begins. Currently rereading Wyrd Sisters and drawing unexplored characters in my margins. Like Teatime here. Yay for experimentation with skinny, gawky styles! Other illustrious names are soon to follow.
“Come on, dad, stop being cute. Come on, evil! Grrr, evil! I kick puppies in my spare time! Evil, mean, cunning grin. Of doom! Grrrr, evil!”
I took photos of my dad just now for my fairytale project. The cunning brother turned out rather evil, as you see here, but oh well. I develop everything tomorrow, and I start printing later. I’ll scan my prints eventually.
Good News: Mrs. McCullough really liked the stuff I did in art today.
Better News: She says that I can work on the JETS notebook and the “Dark of the Moon” cover in class for my design folio.
Bad News: The JETS notebook is due a week from Saturday, and I have almost nothing to work from. Why, why, why does no one document anything? ::aaargs at robot plans written on paper towels:: Plus, I’m going to have to get the DotM drafts/concepts and final in to Mrs. Felice really soon if I want it in color. Oy.
Dear PDM,
You need comments for your blog.
Sincerely,
Priscilla Spencer
P.S.: Dude! I would *so* wear one of those buttons!
Uploaded random stuff to Elfwood. Hopefully, my gallery will be updated in the next few days. I’ll post again when it does.
Brie — of course you can join the Cult of Lincoln! Pinstriped suits are welcomed, but on no account are the chopsticks to be replaced. If you feel you cannot accede to this request, I know Rebecca has a far inferior, yet equally amusing cult dedicated to Woodrow Wilson. All hail Abe!
Working on art assignment of doom. Just got a great laugh. Cookie points to whomever finds the phrase “tender and private” on the US $1 bill. Project Mayhem, anyone?
This morning, I went to Stephanie Swingle’s house to photograph for our school assignment, Fairy Tales. Stephanie is doing Snow White, and Sagari (the other girl who met with us — a very cool Junior) is doing Cinderella. Because “How the Moon Began”, my chosen story, features four brothers and takes place at night, I wasn’t able to take any pictures, and instead provided modeling services for Stephanie and Sagari. I got to be Snow White and Cinderella’s Prince, which was quite an experience. While not modeling, I held the lights for optimum effect. Jolly good. I look forward to seeing the negatives — I’ll try to convince Stephanie to let me scan some of her finished images.
Meanwhile, I’ll be continuting to flip through Sandman in search of a story I prefer over “How the Moon Began”. I have lots of cool ideas for HtMB, but it may prove difficult to convince some of my friends to don airy, wispy garments and dance in a moonlit graveyard. A long exposure, with the cameraperson splashing us with flashlights. That would be awesome, say I. Stephanie and Sagari have volunteered to help me, though, and my parents will be there most likely, so they might be enough. Hurrah! I hope Mrs. Yoshii approves. She seems less open to alternative techniques than some of my previous instructors.
Anyway, I got back home last night at 2 AM and woke up at 10. From 11-3, I was at Stephanie’s. I got one hour to work on my college essays (all week, mind you), and now, at 4, I’m off to an essay workshop. I need a nap.
Oh — if you haven’t seen the photographs I shot yesterday for my other Photography class (God help me), there right here. Comment if you haven’t already.
