in future times

hey all
i am still kicking(haha you can't stop me---kick, kick) anyways. i have been really busy recently first setting up for my thesis show and then taking it down in the last couple of weeks. i have been a little stressed and been misplacing anger so if any of that got thrown your way: my bad, yo!
so the thesis went well and i sold a solid portion of my books and all that jazz. we had a sweet turn out and stuffs. i am excited it is over. now all i gots to do for shows really is show up to others and eats all their foodz and i guess the b.f.a. show. i also got into grad school and need to make a trip up to niu to sign some shit. i think imma do that in the beginning of may. so yeah. hopefully i will post artwork. i know i keep saying that but really it is one of my hopes.
keep on rockin' in the free world

a few unanswered questions

why does donald duck wear a towel when he gets out of the shower but does not wear pants?
how is mickey mouse a dog owner and best friends with a dog? is that hypocritical?
if storks deliver babies who or what delivers them?

i met Simon j. Smith on sunday. he is the director of Bee Movie and he is british. he had some funny stories and lots of information about how they had changed the way they made the cartoon movies because of jerry seinfeild's involvement. jerry was apparently involved with every possible process to give the whole film that seinfield vibe. i spoke with him for probably a total of like half an hour about story boarding. it was one of the coolest experiences i have had. i am such a nerd.

worst comic strip ever

hey all
i have been reading the comic strips when i shelve newspapers at work and i just now came to the realization of why i torture myself by reading the Family Circus. I apparently (oddly enough) have a optimistic outlook on comic strips and keep reading that strip in hopes that it will eventually become good or at least have one good strip ever. it is funny but i always thought i was a pessimist.

Silk Screening

hey all
jay ryan(one of my favorite artists and a hell of a good guy) was at my school today. he gave a little talk about how he silk screens(mostly posters for rock bands and stuff) and then he gave a demo. the demo was quite similar to the one i saw when i was a freshmen. we got to pull a print each but this time it was two colors(sweet!) i kind made an ass of myself because i was not pressing down hard enough. it is a sweet print of a cat and a dog looking at abstract art in the kranert art museum in a sage green with brown outlines and his website printed at the bottom(www.thebirdmachine.com)
anyways that was fun. i gots lots to do this weekend and not much time to do it weeeeee
