Spring break's over, and I am already hating it. Classes started back today. I dunno if it's from the time change or what, but I'm just feeling out of sync with the rest of the world at the moment, like everything's full of cobwebs.
I made one last weird piece in Illustrator inspired once again by Rez. Another self portrait, because I am the one model I have the greatest access to:
This and the other piece aren't much, but they're enough to give me an idea of things I can and can't quite do. I want to do more, but at the moment I'm busy. I met with my adviser today to talk about Works in Progress and showed him my portfolio, and we went back and forth for about an hour. He ripped me apart in places and knocked me down in others and it was precisely what I needed.
What it boils down to, pretty much, is a lack of confidence and thoughtfulness, and I have a hard time articulating things. So I need to work on that, and he suggested writing a paragraph on each piece, breaking everything down to simple details. The meeting is in two weeks, so I've time to prepare...
Oh, and it's Pi day. Which means you should watch Pi, like I'm going to. Or at least watch this wicked fan-made trailer I found last night:
My favorite film. I feed off of its energy.
That's it for now. This week is gonna be annoying. There's work to be done.
