Valentine's Day

Spent Valentine’s Day hanging around Claremont and ate at this sweet and quaint cafe called “Last Drop Cafe.” We ran into Charles Frederick! He’s such a sweet retired professor that I had the privilege of taking last quarter (he teaches once a year). The food was delicious, and we walked around a bit afterwards. Went to Rhino Records and all these adorable mom & pop shops. Who needs expensive dinner dining when you can have a simple sweet day?

Charrette Week!

Just a few pieces from the Charrette. It was very successful I hope we do it again next quarter! But at the beginning, not middle during midterms. Congrats on a great job everyone!

Students had 36 hours to create a self-portrait and display it in the art building.















































And in case you were wondering, this one was mine:



You can find a few more here. Also went to get ramen with Rocky, Nicky, Roland, Liz and the boyfriend. Good times yesterday.

Finally.

So I've been lagging on bringing myself up to date with technology I suppose. I've owned an Apple Powerbook G4 for 6 years (purchased it after high school) and it has served me well throughout my college career, but I finally had enough money to purchase a new Macbook Pro 15" and I'm in love with it. From the Snow Leopard OS to being able to use all my pretty CS5 software (finally can use After Effects. I've been borrowing the boyfriends Macbook for a year now.) I feel more motivated than ever to make this and next quarter a success and build the most beautiful graphic design portfolio you've seen. Be prepared for adorable, clean, sweet, design.

Victorian Blue

Just finished this, but these photos were taken last night, which is prior to me painting the skirt. I hand painted the feather, had the boyfriend drill the holes and tied in the corset ribbon. Acrylic on 4 Wood panels (various sizes).
