i am just writing this because i have not posted anything new for over a week. my life right now is full of school related activities. i have been working on print things like crazy. this semester i am working on three chicken shaped intaglio plates. they are a pain in the ass to cut out and file, but i think they will be really cool when they are all done. i need to work on my drawings more for sam. he let me borrow his plastic turkey named leroy. i need to get some drawings of him soon! also bookbinding is taking up SO much time, it is crazy. this week we are making boxes. i hope i don't eff it up like i did my first book.
today i had to present to a lot of people in the fine arts department for funding to go to the international southern graphics council conference. whew! i had to write up a proposal and figure out a budget and everything. i felt so grown up doing it. today we just had to go in and see if the board had any questions. a friend told me we did get funding, but not as much as last year. that is pretty disappointing seeing as there are the same number of students attending as there were last time. but it wasn't my fault, there were 19 different groups requesting money this year, and i am sure the budget isn't as big as it has been in the past. oh well, at least we got something!
i have been house sitting for my friend erin and watching a million dvds. she and jake have a gigantic dvd collection. they are in disneyland for their anniversary. i hope they are having the best time ever, and that they bought mickey ears. i better get a postcard too.
this month at the gallery stroll i will have a print at signed and numbered. i was able to get into the print exchange for this month. it is a halloween theme, and my print is jolene, of course. but she has three heads and is drooling. if you are in town you should go check it out! this will be my first time showing anything at gallery stroll.
AND! i am moving out of my mommas house soon. i am looking at two apartments tomorrow, and making my decision tomorrow too. i am really excited to move out without a roommate. trevor of course will be my part time roomie. and maybe sometime in the near future i will have a kitty too, but we will just have to see.
