let's take a break at work

"I enjoyed myself too taking along with me 5 cameras and had some fun shooting.  Panasonic GF1, Leica CL, Canon F1, Ricoh auto half, Fujifilm Instax 210. Yes 5 cameras this time.  I had to give each camera an assignment and it was real fun, like working with 5 different persons each get his/her own task but you have to manage them."

seriously, i love this guy.

other than that, it's been a great morning so far! i'm working with Gene in the LEBO/soon-to-be-in-addition-to-playboy cell and he's really great and easy to talk to. he kind of reminds me of jeff with all the discussion about systems improvement and lean ;)

and i've decided that even though participating in the sketchbook project is essentially paying someone $25 to give away my art... i think it would be a fun project to do. now that i'm in the twilight of my college experience, i'm beginning to question my lack of achievement and overall level intellectual and creative stimulation. i need to push myself to try more things. even if painting in a moleskine isn't exactly a "new" experience for me, at the very least, it's still an artistic assignment.

who the hell is this guy? i want his life.

(fuck, i should have bought that auto half when i had the chance...)

in the meantime, lots have happened lately in quad-land, aka wisconsin. all but one of my roommates have departed from the house, leaving an empty void in my chest which all the cute new clothes, shoes, and junk food cannot seem to fill.

but a girl can try...

despite spending excessive amounts of hard-earned money on such frivolity, i am proud to say i have accomplished a tiny measure of artistic progress. tiny.

acrylic, water-soluble pastels, mickey avalon lyrics

water-soluble pastels, my own photographs for reference, really lame chinese

an old drawing for an old friend.
