lately

Saturday we went to a junkyard in Bowling Green, Ohio so that my boyfriend Craig's band (The Fight Within) could get promotional pictures taken. Being there was rather inspirational for me. I thought about composing sculptures made of junk so that I could have something interesting to paint (I like to paint/draw still-life, I think that it might be what I like to do the most). This would be me exercising another level of creative control over my work, haha.

*I want to note that the junkyard owner is a drunkard with a thyroid problem (we think). The dude reminded me of the farmer who gets possessed by an alien at the very beginning of the movie Men in Black.

I'm working on collages with the maps and stuff that Sara gave me.
I've decided to give this one to her because she is my best friend:


I need to finish that painting for dad. I need to go home and visit dad.

Today was the last day of painting, and now I am going to paint/draw/collage whatever I want!!! Yesterday, Sara gave me all of these sweet maps and stuff because she's a badass who loves me. I'm going focus on mixing media for the rest of the summer and during next semester. The book weave was so interesting that I am going to finish it, and I'm thinking about doing more of that kind of work. It is extremely tedious work, but very interesting and for so many reasons; visually, it really appeals to me as well.

I have my head filled with so many ideas.
