I’ve been really worn out. I am not 100% over my cold and I think I’m just so worn down. I have been trouble sleeping lately, which doesn’t help. Between coughing at night and thinking about classes, i just lay awake a lot. Last night I slept propped up on the cough, it stops the…

Bugs on the brain Originally uploaded by angrypirate. These little fellas are painted in egg tempura. Seems these days I’m painting more eggs than I’m eating. I could get into this egg tempura thing. The quality of the paint is so fun. Sort of translucent. Each tiny brush stroke seems to pack a punch and…

I’m still sick, which sucks, but it actually looks like I’m going to make my deadlines this week. And I’m getting really excited about hanging out with my studio mates this weekend. We are getting all riled up. Lots of email flying back and forth about food and drinks and cleaning. Plus Saturday night there…

Mwah ha ha ha Originally uploaded by angrypirate. Good god woman. What are you going to do with all those batteries???? The world will just have to wait and see.

I had my midterm crit in my drawing abstraction class. So tonight I brought a half a semester’s work home. It’ll be at the studio this weekend. Now I’m going to crawl in bed with my icky cold and forget about the world for a while. School and colds don’t mix. I have so much…

“…We will all get there someday however and do the work that we are suposed to do. Of all the pitfalls in our paths and the tremendous delays and wanderings off the track I want to say that they are not what they seem to be. I want to say that all that seems like…

So close Originally uploaded by angrypirate. I think if I stay late today I can finish my weaving project and take it off the loom for the finishing touches. I’m pretty happy with how its turning out. Can’t wait to wire it up.
