casting spells

i'm not gonna lie. i haven't posted anything in a while because i haven't drawn anything in a while. i think i'm in some kind of "dry" spell or "too-busy" spell or "i-just-want-to-relax-and-not-have-to-scan- things-after-i-get-done-at-the-farm" spell or "i'm-trying-to-get-into-sewing-recently" spell. also, i don't have a scanner anymore.
i went to an opening last night at the nth and there were about a hundred or so of these little paintings and they were really awesome. there were a bunch based on people the artist knows in boone, professors from the art department, colors, music, etc. it was really interesting looking at paintings about both people i do and don't know; artistic interpretations of people and friends from a different perspective. i would love to be able to devote myself to making works for a show one day. man. it is getting me so excited just thinking about it. i will have to work on my presentation for sure. a few friends and i have thrown around some ideas about having a collaborative show at some point, and now that i'm not in school anymore, this seems both totally feasible and impossible at the same time.
lately, i have been either at the farm working with the birds, or hanging out at long street with the roomies, learning how to sew and craft with casa-bear. not much time left for drawing after that. don't give up hope, however, dear readers, for one of these days i may surprise all of us.
