Graduated Yesterday

So I graduated yesterday.
Woopdie doo.
I fully understand Daniel Clowes's "Art School Confidential" comic now.
What a waste.



On a lighter note, I really want to get this book, it's awesome. It's a collection of all these horrible tattoos people got. Hilarious what some people will put on their skin!
My favorite is just below the photo of the book cover....

Alexone

So I've known about this street artist for awhile, but I never really checked out his site.
One word: THISISAWESOMESOCOOLAMAZING!

The pillows are soooo ridiculous!!!

more of stuff out there in the world

So there's this motion piece I just came across. The type is nice, but I like the still frames rather than the animated portions. It's just....so many people illustrate music with type and it'd done over and over you really have to do something unusual for it to work anymore. I've been looking at other student reels, and I have to say so many have the same assignment of illustration their favorite piece of music & whatnot. A lot all look the same. Not saying my reel is perfect, but I'm slowly accepting that it is a bit different. I guess I do more story-telling than most. This could be good or bad.

WK rejected me. Game Over.


I wish I could only be as happy as this:

Swoon on Paper Monster

Ugh, Swoon is selling all this work of hers for her "Floating Cities" project. I want to join them soooo bad, but even more I want to buy one of her prints!
This one is absolutely beautiful. Out of my price range, though...(a fat $700!)

Midwest Blows

Dear god, this song is making me sink.
I love you Joni but you're tearing my heart out.
Still distraught over being stuck in michigan....

Although I was supposed to know awhile ago about WK12, still no answer....I'm guessing they are ignoring my emails because I didn't get in. I'm pretty crushed.

For the past few years I've wanted to live out west. God dammit.
Damn Damn Damn Damn!!! I just want to meet other cool creative people and work together and make awesome shit!! I know if i was only just given a chance I'd exceed anyone's expectations...why haven't I been given a chance!
I guess the only thing to do (besides slipping into depression & insomnia) is to work work work work.
And that's what I'll do. Until someone can validate my self worth and hire me or collaborate with me.
