So, I had sort of a bad day and stuff. I want to get that Jesus shit journal off my page and show some activity... So here's something.

I moved to New York for the school year and this place is some awesome shit.

I like the school enough so far because no terrible homework has set in quite yet.  My only beef is with my drawing teacher, who is some kind of crack addict and obsessed with blind contours. I am sick of these. So very sick. I wish I were in a drawing class that is less obsessed with line weight and still images and more into putting life into things. She seems to have no interest in that whatsoever, judging by the artists she wanted us to study and her own art. But now I am just being a whiny bitch and ragging on an artist who doesn't deserve my disdain. I'll try to be less obnoxious.

Today we (the class, not the royal we) went to the Metropolitan Museum and saw the Turner exhibit. It was very inspiring, even for a person like me who generally detests landscapes... They're old, but not tired, and will make you want to draw your own. I would recommend anyone in the area to donate their 10 cents and go in and see.

Right now the only thing I look forward to is seeing my cat again in December when I can finally visit home, and going to NYAF with ~fongmingyun and so if the Hadron thing goes berserk I would like it to happen after those two things please. I don't care otherwise.
Lol.
I really like that rap video.
And I'd like to find some bubble milk tea for less than $4 a puny little cup.

I am sorry I haven't submitted anything. I lack the drive and ability to not fail, and I don't have a way to put my sketches on the internet.
I hope everyone is having a nice close-to-the-end-of the year.

When you wind up teaching, there will be inevitable stretches of time when you've got nothing but jack sh!t and an audience expecting you to serve them up miracles. This is why people have lesson plans. But you can only be efficient in the transfer of knowledge and skills to a point. Being a good artist doesn't automatically mean you're a good teacher.

Best advice: plod through the crap anyway. You've paid for it, and there's a reason beyond "we need a warm body to do the teaching thang" why Ms. Blind Contours has a place on the faculty. Sooner or later you'll hit gold, or the experience will be of use to you in some unexpected way.

Off topic, I hope you stay satisfied with your new handle. You know I'd follow your work through all your name changes. But I'd like to get used to this one.

I'd like to see those sketches too. :)

One thing you will learn is that ALL teachers in the art world are obsessed with lines and contours. My animation class was recently taught by a visiting teacher who had us scribble random lines with ink-stained Q-tips. FOR 3 HOURS. It pissed me off.

rotfl.... that sounds like something extremely exciting.
Did the teacher then automatically fail everyone in the class when the results weren't exactly what they wanted?

You lucky duck, you D:! I hope you've gotten some cute little desserts from the Chinese bakery next to New Res and explored all the nifty antique thrift shops in the vicinity. And the godly four-story Barnes & Noble in Union Square? The place that sells chocolate boob cakes?! LET ME LIVE VICARIOUSLY THROUGH YOU DDDDDDD: LSKDjfsdkdlkj


Ooooh and see you at NYAF. :D Adventures!

I actually haven't gotten any of their desserts, buuuuut the food is really good and one of their noodle dishes can be made to last 3 meals which is awesome for my budget. And I otherwise haven't done anything except for go to that Barnes. So, I am afraid living vicariously through me would be pretty boring. xD

Fun fun, see you there!
