Well, okay, I'm not a Dalek, but still. VICTORY!!
Friday morning I went in, set my stuff up, and went through Works in Progress. AND I WON. I passed. I was successful! They really liked my Independent Study work and my sketchbooks too. Which is weird because last semester they DIDN'T like my sketchbooks. Huh. Contractory folk. But still.
I had advisement today, and the ONLY thing left now is a senior show next semester, Final Portfolio Review and Exhibition. I've got all summer to really start planning on what I want to do. I've got ideas, plenty of them, but I've got to narrow it down to a decent body of work.
This also means that if I want to be a full-time student, I have to find 3 more classes that I can goof around in without getting overwhelmed. My parents are thinking I should move back home, though, so it's really just kind of um, up in the air. I don't know. I've gotta start figuring that out.
Also, if you like comics and exceptional drawing skills, you should check out the Tumblr dedicated to posting art by Moebius, Quenched Consciousness. Very awesome, inspiring work.
There's a sort of meme going on now. It started out with Paul Pope redrawing a panel from a comic that Moebius did, calling it a "cover," like a cover song. Then Brandon Graham (creator of King City, my favorite comic of 2010) picked it up and did his own version. Corey Lewis, creator of Sharknife, did the same. And a few other guys. The man who runs Quenched Consciousness nabbed them all and started encouraging other artists to do their own version. So I decided to participate:
And he posted it.
There's a shit ton of followers of that Tumblr. That's a lot of views. I can barely fathom it. This drawing is getting more views than any other piece of art I've ever done. Holy crap.
Also, that's the first piece I've done since passing Works in Progress. Heh.
Um, that's it. More to come!
