attention everyone!!

hey! i'm entering stuff in the ASU art expo this semester! ima bout to ride over there and help casa install our pieces and check out all of the awesome art everyone's been working on this year. i can't wait to see what people have been doing. it is really easy to get wrapped up in my own little world; the tiny still lifes and miniature portraits, the simple pen line drawings...hands, faces, hands, cups, hands, phones, coffee and spit and purple and cross-hatches and contour lines and (more recently) comics. gonna be really refreshing and inspirational (hopefully) to get a look at some new stuff my peers are producing.
in other news, i have noticed that a big difference between my way of creating art and my friend, Laura's is that i tend to translate images into lines intersecting and separating space, whereas i think laura understands shapes and patterns a lot better than i do. she is really good at allowing a shape or a smudge or a shadow to represent important details, and it TOTALLY works. she did this really rad portrait of her and myself, based a picture of the two of us. she eventually used it as a wheatpasting (great stuff). i wish we had taken a picture of it! i would put it up here! do you have it laura? anyway i have the original...


trust me, it was rad.

anyway. come check out the art work at Wey Hall, tonight or tomorrow. or saturday? i think they are doing the voting either tomorrow night or saturday night. look at some beautiful works, vote on your favs, giggle a little. whatever you want to do.
i am really really hoping i will get some stuff chosen. i entered five drawings from my journals that i got blown up and printed on nice paper (sooooo stoked! i can't comprehend my little journies lookin so sexy in poster form), and also that embroidered portrait of my friend, casa, that i made on a stretched canvas. i think the drawings are on the third floor, and fibers are on the second!! hoooraaaaay!! i'm so excited.
