Theseeee Dayyysssss

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 01:58:00 -0500

these days there has been far too much yelling, and fighting and stomach turning not goodness and so I bow out gracefully, orrr not so gracefully? either way im taking myself out. and thats alright. This time its sad. Sometimes life becomes too complicated and I reach a point, where there is too much all around, where stopping and breathing is the only way to stay myself. I stop today. I need to catch my breath.

I got out my old 360 photos. I looked them all up and down. I realized. I wanted to do 360 so badly it hurt. To finish what I started exactly a year ago. I plan to start tomorrow. This time I will be more honest with my days. write things that I felt scared to write last year because I knew people would see them, no specifics, but real life. For me it is much more personal this time. A choice. Not an assignment. A relief from printmaking. So heres to tomorrow. May you be better than today.

ckck:

“Blue Girl with Wine” (1997) by Tim Burton, from his new retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. As if that’s not reason enough to schedule a visit, there’s also the upcoming typography exhibition and recently opened Bauhaus exhibition, all of which are making me very envious of those who can go.

I am currently interviewing relief based printmaking artist Dennis McNett. If you have never taken a look at any of his stuff you might be surprised to feel like you might have already seen it, as he has made snowboards and such. He works at Pratt were he has his students make one huge relief print each year that is then printed by a steam roller literally rolling on top of the block. He turns his prints into sculptures (watch the video) and puts on performances. He put on a metal show where he created a huge sculpture of a wolf breathing smoke across the stage. These are all just brief summaries and you need need need to check him out for yourself-http://www.howlingprint.com/

A Must Watch!

something just blew the fuck up across my street on the powerlines. Now it is on fire.

I thought about going back to the art department after dinner and then realized there is no way i am braving this wind storm in my little car. I would never make it there, and never make it back. and how creepy would it be if we lost power in the art building and i was there at 3am no flashlight, no candles. No. no no no. I am staying here. In my not so sturdy house, feeling useless, and alittle scared.

blackhoodie:

On Nov. 17, 2009, Earth will pass through the 1466 stream again, but this time closer to the center. Based on the number of meteors observed in 2008, Vaubaillon can estimate the strength of the coming display: five hundred or more Leonids per hour. The times provided are optimal view hours for PST, but the Leonid Meteor shower may last up to two days so there may be other times for optimal viewing.

lfarm:

This sweet man.

He whispered in my ear. He told me how his wife thinks he looks like an old man with a cane, so he brought a long umbrella with him instead. He leaned gently on it the entire time.

And then while he showed me an old photograph of him and his buddies, all at age 19, he recounted the time that they ran into Hitler outside of Rome and how it made him feel.

And then he asked me if when he dies, whether my generation will step up to take care of his homeless veteran friends. I told him that we would.

I don’t even know his name.

Today’s Nutshell: We printmakers started out strong:...

Today’s Nutshell:

We printmakers started out strong: darkside print society (yes we are that nerdy) had our opening day of t-shirt selling on venders row this morning. The weather and the canceling of school made it an odd day to start selling…almost no one was around! But we sold six t-shirts and made our first little dent towards getting to the print conference this spring. (Look for me thursday selling shirts again and come get a sweet shirt hand made by me!)

From there… it went a little haywire…

1. I cut my finger open intensely with a carving knife while working on my priest block. Im talking, through my nail, shock of my life, pain of my life, had to be doctored by chase, jack of many survival trades, and am now icing and changing my wound at home.

2. ONE out of my TEN priest prints turned out right. I pride myself on my registration (aka having every color, every block lined up and perfect) and I FAILLED. Fail. Fail. Curse you circle block and your round edges. Its sad that I spent three weeks carving and printing seven different layers ten different times, and only one, ONE I like. The rest are very Andy Warhol, layers overlapping and such. Sigh Sigh. No more circle blocks for me.

3. After a very long afternoon turned night of printing I come home to a shaking house. My poor little house! It is old! And this crazy wind makes it creak, SHAKE, and blow cold air right through its bones. I love my house and I wish my landlords would love it as I do, because I swear something could be done! Better windows, more support! But instead, my little house stands alone, trying with all its might not to get blown over. I am scared to sleep almost, afraid the house will actually collapse. It sure sounds like it.

Among that, is this photo. The stress I feel, the finger, the prints, the wind, makes me stiff, on guard, defeated. Yet, I opened my drawer to put my prints away and go home, and found…this! Kurt has been making a small etching on a copper plate of a drawing we did one long night in the print lab about a week ago. The drawing makes me laugh, the print makes me laugh even more. This is me, leaning on my circle block, trying to give up carving and sleep. He found a little frame and framed it for me and stuck it my drawer! surprise! What a friend. It is nice to have surprising friends.

Sometimes I loath dreaming.

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 15:41:35 -0500

I cant control it, and sometimes they are so powerful I wake up crying, forgetting my life is different, or remembering it is no longer the same. sigh. Today I will build back up the walls my dreams have broken, to forget, to remember, to survive.
