Feverish.

My new mission:

Take more polaroids & have more fun doing it.

Since I'm unable to return to my day job for at least 10 more days,

I will have plenty of time to gets some killer shots.

Monochromatic.

You just can't beat black & white.

There's no way.

Lackluster.

My apologies for the dull posts lately.

I'm just ready to be home & I don't know what else to say.

Fervid.

Tonight I was asked who my favorite artist was.

Without hesitation this man's name came out of my mouth.

Andy Warhol is a major contributor in my decision to study art.

But after I gave it some thought, I realized I have so many favorites now that I am more educated on the subject.

[In no particular order]

Toulouse Lautrec

Edgar Degas

Alfred Sieglitz

Jacques-Louis David

Banksy

Claude Monet

Gustav Klimt

Damien Hirst

Artemisia Gentileschi

Claes Oldenburg

Just to name a few.

Nerdier.

Today was another museum day.

The LA County Museum to be specific.

It's a place of wonder.

This took my breath away...

Cupid playing with a butterfly, 1802

Antoine-Denis Chaudet

Gorgeous.

Forward.

Today has been a pretty lazy day.

I woke up at noon, ate lunch, showered, and hung out with my family.

Since they go to bed at eight o'clock (they're lame), I had to find something to do to occupy my time.

So being an art major I decided to make something.

I was inspired by an imgfav picture.

It is a little weird but I really like the way it tuned out.

I am planning on making a bunch to frame in a series.

Stay tuned...

Gutsy.

Final Project

(slightly different angle, but you get the jist)

(the back of a plaster head wrapped in fabric)

Yep.

I drew that.

Trust me, I am just as shocked as you are.

I am so incredibly proud of myself with this one.

I don't really know how it turned out so well but I am glad it did.

Here's the finished product:
