building a dream

yesterday i got the song brother can you spare a dime? stuck in my head. i watched videos of it on youtube till like 4 in the morning. i think i have a couple ideas of works inspired by it (i don't know whether to do both or just one) i want to either illustrate it (a long with a few other songs) as a comic or just do a spot illustration that i feel works with the song. i'll probably do both (or knowing me and how busy i have been) or neither.
anways i think i will put up an old drawing i did (cause the new ones are not digitized yet cause they are giant and i can't find my digital cameras connector for my computer)
hopefully these headaches will go a way

oh and the image is from something i started (for a small zine called Rice on the Other) which i have set aside ( i think i might retool it and come back to it later)

Every day that you see me is the worst day of my life

this week has sucked so far. i have been scanning a shit load of things for an instructor. i have slept very poorly. and to top it all off today, i left my keys in my studio. good thing i gave a spare set to some friends. but the spare set only lets me into my apartment and not into my studio. so i am going to have to figure out some way of getting into my studio in order to get my keys that let me into my studio. also, today i found out i have a whole email address i was not aware of and have no idea to access. this email address is apparently the email address i have for being a graduate assistant but i have no way of accessing it. this, of course, is the email address that instructors have been using recently to email me.
Ah, horseshit.

umm vote

remember to vote tomorrow. umm.. it is a shame i don't know how to use my scanner cause it auto cropped these images. both were on 9 by 12 bristol (horizontal) so there was more white space on either side of the figure and above their heads. i prefer it that way but without having photoshop or knowing what i am doing this is the best i can do for now. (if i figure out how to fix it i will edit it later)
these are zombie mccain and obama. i showed them to my drawing class and my teacher said "man you nailed these. i didn't know you had it in you but you really nailed these. you have some drawing chops." then she went on to explain how it is funny that in art school they teach you how to draw and then once you have learned how to draw they are bored by technically well done drawings. so here again was another teacher who was not sure i could draw because of the style i usually choose to draw in.
today i felt like i hate art and school. and by art i mean art taught through art history. or art that needs and desires to be labeled as fine art.
whatever, i found the dick van dyke show online so i am gonna watch that until all is right with the world. oh, man mary tyler moore was one good looking lady
