currently craving: a vacation alone :)

currently, currently: inhaled too much cologne...

you know what i thought of today! the more time i spend by myself, the happier i am! i mean it. i noticed that i allow people to affect me negatively...i know i allow it. i just can't figure out how to stop it. and until i do, spending time alone, with myself, is the happiest remedy. i really had a great day! browsing art catalogues online, sifting through my own work, documenting life, rearranging my room. either i'm pathetic, or i'm happy. i'll choose to say "i'm happy."

i also think that i like being alone in other ways. i can not tell you how much better i feel now that i've allowed myself to be free of relationships with men. either this is a hiatus, or i am actually maturing, its too soon to say. i mean, being able to walk around school, go out at night, day to day activities, without having to wonder if i will meet someone, or if i am presenting myself the right way. maybe it just took me this long to figure out what normal life is like, who knows. what i do know, is that i am going to travel as soon as i graduate, and not having a deadline of going back to school, or a man friend to miss puts me at ease. i like this alone thing. although this isn't entirely accurate, i like this drawing nonetheless :)

i love & spend most of my time online frequenting design blogs from some pretty respected people out there. this site, ISO50, a blog by artist scott hansen provided some GREAT ideas for an artist stuck in a creative rut. this guy interviewed 52 designers around the world, and posted their answers. trust the advice from the best :}

i have found one of my FAVORITE new blogs. music. art. design. music. movies. music. oh man. in need of a new wallpaper? kitsune noir has legit artists designing new ones erry wednesday; its called "The Desktop Wallpaper Project." here, you can find (21 pages so far, i checked) one suitable for any [design-savvy] desktop :) here are a few screenshots of some of my fav's:

ready for some visual slash audio crack? holy #$%!! you have to CHECK THIS OUT!!! the director used over 400 painted blocks, black light, and 4085 photographs in stop-motion to create one of the coolest videos, for one of the coolest sounds i have ever heard. if you're into psycho-electronic music with a beat that will break glass, check out 'nobody beats the drum; grindin.' you will NOT be disappointed. insanity. i can't get over this...

so i found this site, and somehow i have wasted many many nights searching through the archives and creating my fantasy wardrobe. here is one i made. i feel 12 again....but with more expensive clothes.

i also found some jewelry that i found hilarious. enjoy. and someone buy this for me:

i was browsing a favorite design blog and found an image i loved. i've been trying to create designs using colored smoke and incorporating dancers/figures into the image similar to this image [although this far surpasses mine.] little did i know, this band is brilliant!!! delphic, an alternative dance/electronic band from the UK released an album very recently (2009, and singles in 2010) that are worth checking out. loveee euro bands.

and i really like this light sculpture by artist james clar & associates, who is now working out of Dubai. this piece is interesting because it speaks of the dynamics of relationships. there are 9 ballasts that hang from the ceiling (device that maintains the current in a circuit at a constant value by varying its resistance), with wires that support and provide electricity to the fluorescent bulbs. i can't tell if it is commenting on the fact that other people are there to provide a constant flow of support for "me," or if "me" is the most important contender in "you and me."

interestingggg....

please give us more hype

yesterday was my last first day of classes. i still don't think i get it. i've been rushing to get through school my entire life, and this semester i'm sure will be no different, but i want to remember the last semester of college as the best part. i have my work cut out for me...printmaking, digital imaging, web design, and senior sem. t-minus one month until someone finds me frothing at the mouth on the ground in my studio. here's to graduating!

took a trip to visit kyle at stout last weekend and had the best time :) :) his room perfectly matches his personality, as well as his friends there. the campus is in a college town, with not much else going on but we definitely found fun things to keep us occupied. all i have to say "I LOVE GARBAGEEE!" i can get that.

i saw this and thought it was fantastic...this site is great.

lately, i've been obsessing over post-it art. artist marc johns is no exception. these are witty, and flat out hilarious
