apARTment

Unfortunately, I've been distracted by nice weather, and I'm leaving today to spend New Years in Savannah, so I didn't make anything decent enough to post for today. Sorry for messing up. I'll get it together once I'm back home with internet access/alone time/more supplies.
Fortunately, while spending time in the Floridian homes of my grandparents and their friends, I've encountered some pretty fantastic works of art. So, here's a little showcase of my favorites. I think this collection could give MoMA a run for its money

a towel that looks a lot like my linocut prints

fish-shaped bling. shiny!

so bossy

A+ use of ellipses on this print

family collaboration post!

All I have for this post is a few more of those girl drawings for the big picture I'm starting. I think I'll end up making 19 of them overall, but, don't worry, I'll definitely switch things up soon.
I haven't had much "me time" during this vacation to make new stuff, but, fortunately, my family pitched in to spice things up a bit!



First, a PSA courtesy of my dad concerning elevator safety rules:
NO PIE ALLOWED!!!!

beware of the smoker's pole!

in case of fire, run up the stairs backwards

Then, here's a picture by Goody!


It's hard out there for a wi-fi poacher. No supplier is good enough to deserve a shout out this time

Here are some preliminary drawings for a big picture I'm making that'll end up being quite similar to the iceberg one when it's all put together. Sorry it's not much. Hopefully I'll get my proverbial groove back while on vacation and get some good ideas. I already think being on vacation is helping me get some quality thoughts:

If you get a tattoo of your boyfriend's name, and then he cheats on you, simply add some exclamation points to it

last print/still friday

With this (pretty unremarkable) print, the print-era is over! Sorry there's nothing truly new to post. I have no good excuse.
This week, I'll do my second post on Wednesday, instead of Friday, because I'll be in Florida then, and I'm not sure if I'll have a good internet connection there.
Last year in Florida, I was able to sneak onto a wi-fi network with the very appealing name of "Infected", but I can't really rely on that network working out again. Nonetheless, I'll try my best to keep up with posting-- even if it means I have to do some serious wi-fi hunting.
**edit: I was definitely jumping the gun when I said I could have a post ready for Wednesday, so check back on Friday, and I'll most likely have something up by then.

another one

Another post this week?! OMG, rite? Even though I’ve been way prolific lately, try to remember, I’m still just a person-- a person who's packing up on Friday, and will probably break the schedule and not post that day :(
Here’s most of the rest of my printmaking book project. I take back my previous whining. It’s pretty enjoyable when you’re not all by yourself for a very long time. My only complaint is that I feel like printmaking makes you lose weight because you spend so much time doing it that you miss meals, it's too messy to eat while you do it, it’s kind of physically active, and you feel nauseous after inhaling chemicals for hours so you don’t want to eat.
While working yesterday, I was thinking about this predicament and came up with a printmaking-related Yo Dawg Yo::

“Yo Dawg, I heard you like weight loss, so I put paint thinner in yr slimfast, so you can get thinner while you get thinner”

It’s probably not funny. I just like that meme so much. If only I had a friend like Xhibit who was thoughtful enough to put things I like in other things I like so that I could enjoy them while I enjoy them.

duplicity

Here are some new, two-faced prints for my final project. I'm pretty desperate to make new posts to push that video-blog away from sight. Although, I do look like some kind of cool, karate-chopping robot in the screenshot the video shows when it's not in play mode.
Sorry if all these similar prints are really boring. It's no fun making them anymore. The studio is such a mess, and I think it's a solid example of 'tragedy of the commons'. Luckily, print-season is almost over
*Also, if you're on the Vassar campus and heading to or from the ever-popular library, check out the bunker my sculpture class made as our group project. It holds a fake corpse of Matthew Vassar. Unfortunately, I was pretty delirious after setting it up in the snow, and for some reason told a bunch of people the corpse was Michael Jackson (which, in retrospect, I would have liked).

situation tragedy

Here's the video blog that finally tells the story behind 'all the proms'. I think, for this one, I'm kind of chanelling those video blogs people record while on ambien, or an episode of Intervention.
It's very long (seriously, in this time, you could watch 1/3 of your favorite half-hour tv program), so FEEL FREE TO ABSTAIN FROM WATCHING!!!!
My webcam application kept stalling out, so I had to splice three smaller videos together, and there are some sound/pixelation issues-- but, sadly, those technical issues are the least of this video's problems.

I must reiterate, the person who the sculpture is devoted to is a COOL GUY. He's actually the person who made ***Poolchair Graveyard***


^evidently, he's a graveyard fan

*I might add another post tonight that actually contains some new pictures (more prints. surprise, surprise)
