 My original blog draft got yeeted by lurk and I don't feel like trying to remember and retype it, so we're gonna pivot in an on-theme fashion. For a long time, I was very rigid in my ideas and would become inconsolable if they had to change for any reason. I wanted everything to go exactly how it did in my head, and if it didn't, my whole world came crashing down. I've slowly learned to get over this, realizing that the ability to adapt would only strengthen my creative process. I'm nowhere near perfect, but I've come a long way in managing my emotions and redirecting.    So, if you're ever upset by something not working how you want it to, just remember: Your life will evolve, Your work will evolve. YOU will evolve. VERY short post this week... but technically if you count the yeeted draft I wrote like twice this much lol. Bye for now!

     Still not much to report. I've gotten pretty settled in, though my stuff is still kinda all over the place. I got my cat one of those litter robot automatic litter boxes, and it's honestly such a game changer. I always struggled to keep scooping the litter a consistent part of my schedule, but now I just have to make sure there's enough litter and empty out a tray once a week or so. Here's a picture of the special baby with the fancy shitter. His real name is Castiel, but all my friends and I call him Beebis.      I also don't have much art related stuff to share, my classes aren't really drawing heavy right now and my craft room is nowhere near organized enough to do stuff in. However, I do have one little drawing to share from my Sustainable Fashion course. The looks themselves are pretty basic, the main thing was the textiles being used. One really cool one I found during my research is called Shiringa Bio-leather. It's a woven cotton fabric coated ...
     This blog post is VERY late, lol. Sorry about that. Nothing much to report art wise, but we moved to a new house this week! It's nice, and has enough rooms that I can have my own craft room even with my grandma moving in with us. The house was built in the 70s, so some of its features are...interesting...but hey if it works, it works. I still have to move my posters from the old house, but other than that I'm mostly settled in.      I wish I had more to talk about, but that's all I've got. I'll keep y'all updated on the house. Bye for now!
     Hello! I was finally able to finish a non-school project and I wanted to share it with y'all! It's nothing too crazy, but I still like it.      So, for context, I have a couple of Walkmans (Walkmen?). Before, I would just use the strap that it came with and wrap it around my belt loop when using them out in public. It worked fine enough, but it was very jank and the Walkman would constantly flop around. Eventually, I came up with the idea of adding a carrying strap directly onto my jeans for a more secure fit. I've only done one so far, but I plan on doing it to all of my pants eventually. Fun fact: this strap mechanism was made out of the strap of a worn out bra I kept "just in case I found a use for it". See dad, my scrap pile is NOT useless!       I also streamed on Twitch for the first time this past weekend. It was a short stream, but it was really fun! I definitely plan to do that more in the future.      Well, ...
     You know, this blog has really helped me get over my fear of sharing my ideas. For a long time, I never wanted to tell or show anyone anything, I wouldn't even journal regularly because I felt that almost nothing I did was interesting enough to write down. Committing myself to this weekly blog has made me ok with sharing things, even if it's not the most interesting thing in the world. Is it usually well written? No, but hey...that's why I'm a visual artist, not an author or journalist.      Anyway, here is a drawing I did for a drapery study in my class. Something I've always found interesting ishat when I use the techniques taught in class, he drawing doesn't look as good as when i just kinda go at it and figure it out. Maybe it's because I'm trying to hard to follow the technique that I get in my head about it? Who knows?       Well, I have to get back to my assignments. Bye for now!
     I wanted to share one of my assignments from this past week with y'all! I'm actually quite proud of this one, you can see a larger version of it in my gallery.      This was actually not the original draft of this piece. When I first submitted it, my professor said "You understood the assignment correctly, but I think you may have missed the note that this was intended to be a three-hour pose. I’d like to see you spend more time developing the drawing so it feels more complete. Please resubmit it once you’ve had a chance to work on it further." Honestly, it wasn't unfair critique, but the vague nature of the comments didn't really help. I developed the shadows a bit more, which brought us to this final product. If she doesn't like it this time, well... I give up. Hopefully, this is enough.      Well, that's all I have this week. Bye for now!
     Sorry for the later than usual post, I was locking in on my assignments lol. Anyway, I saw Third Eye Blind yesterday, it was really fun! I was able to get to get to the barricade (which is probably because the median age of 3EB's fanbase is high enough that they want to spare their knees and not stand in the pit), so I got some nice pictures.      Funnily enough, I actually knew the drummer of the opening act, Soft Echo. He was the old supervisor at my job. I ended up snagging one of his drumsticks.   Schoolwise, we started our self driven collection this past week. I'm super excited to show y'all the final product! I feel a lot more inspired this time than I did with the previous assignment. Well, that's about all I've got to report. Bye for now!
