Is it done? Originally uploaded by angrypirate. The eternal qestion. I keep thinking its done but I’m always fooled. Though I have to admit, it just gets better and better. Atleast in my eyes.

We had a nice man woman shop day yesterday. I shopped for wedding mags while Tom shopped for music mags. I shopped for lingerie while Tom looked at computers. It was a pleasant saturday afternoon. While looking through wedding mags, a woman asked me if I’d seen any with lots of cakes in them. I…

I’ve got today off from school. I have tons of homework to do but I don’t seem to be getting to it. I have no energy today, a theme that seems to be quite common this semester. I wish I could find some energy. Time for a walk in the rain. If I can just…

This was a narrative drawing assignment. we were supposed to map our studio practice. I decided mine felt more like a roll of the dice so I made a game. Click the image to see other parts of the game. P.S. I’m feeling a little better today. Just had a case of the funks.

Despite having the world’s best critique last night, and despite the wonderful things the Flickrboxers have said about my lovely beaster2000 project, I find myself in a deep funk today.

1. I grew up in California and I don’t like avocados. I just don’t like them. I eat them anyway. I feel like I’m supposed to like them, everyone is always giving me grief for being an avocado hater. But I’d be just as happy letting the avocado lovers have them all. Ironically, I can…

I am working on a project, due Tuesday, that I am now calling the beast. I’ve been felting and glueing and sawing for a few weeks now and things are finally coming together. I’m so excited. I don’t want to do anything else but this project. But sadly, I have two papers and a couple…

This is a page out of a 12 page book in the round that I made for Tom as a Valentine’s Day present. But I couldn’t wait two more weeks to give it to him. It was part of a narrative drawing assignment.

Waiting Originally uploaded by angrypirate. We swapped stories and drew pictures of them. This is draw by gabby. It was a story about waiting to be picked up at school and no one came.

Alanna Spence Minimalism Seminar CCA 2007 Ponty, Flavin, Judd, Stella Mauurice Merleau-Ponty’s article on body and perception reminded me of the short story, Flatland.

Ponty’s article brings up the important…
