I haven’t been on the bike for at least two weeks, its making me cranky. The last week of this quarter is next week so I’m looking forward to getting everything over with– at least until next quarter. Lately I’ve been cramming in as much work as I can with my hours, mostly staying in after school (versus sitting in traffic for 1.5 hours) and doing homework/projects in the library. So far it has been pretty rewarding in that I’m getting good responses from my work.
For a poster I did for English though, was mixed. I made a poster in a grunge/deconstruction style aesthetic. The presentation was to connect something we made with something we read and explain it to the class. I chose The Most Beautiful Girl In Town by Bukowski. There are so many parallels I think with the grunge/desconstruction (ala David Carson) aesthetic and Bukowski’s work, but when I got up in front of the class, which mostly is consisted of culinary students, I realized any explanation outside of how to cook a brisket would just fail miserably. So I cut it short and I think my professor got the wrong idea. Fuck it.
Lately I’ve been thinking of how refreshing and possibly interesting it would be to go to an actual art school. Unfortunately I don’t have the confidence to do so or the willpower to figure out the financial business. I never feel willing to challenge myself either, although I tend to do more work than I should lately.
Looking forward to sleeping in on my week break, oh lord.
