Finish research for long paper.
Finish research for other long paper.
Attend a lecture and take copious notes for yet another bullshit short paper.
Ink 2.5 pages for Monday’s checkpoint. 3.5 if you’re feeling feisty.
Call printing companies and request quotes for our book.
Help out with a video shoot to get our Kickstarter going, for said book.
Organize and...

Wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy
Grab my coffee, it’s 8AM, I slept kinda shitty.
AND THEN I SIT MY ASS DOWN IN FRONT OF THE COMPUTER AND FUCKING GET TO WORK.
Jesus Christ guys.
My life.

I think it’s a two-pots-of-coffee kind of morning.

My art history textbook just included Womanhouse in its chapter on Geometric Abstraction. What is this. Why would you do that.
On the plus side, now I have something to argue about for my homework. Which is good, because Geometric Abstraction is pretty cut and dry.

Now that I’ve disassembled and reassembled my bicycle, it’s very, very easy to draw. That’s kind of awesome. I hope to keep that skill by drawing bicycles as often as I can.
Aaaaalso now I can laugh at people who choose fixed gear bicycles solely because of their mechanical simplicity. Bitch please. A geared bike is not complicated to figure out, at all.

I’m declaring it Prop Friday! Today I will draw the following props:
Shoes: sneakers, boots, heels.
Zippers
Jewelry clasps
lingerie
gas masks
That should be enough for now.

To savor. At first, at the very beginning. The hesitant pause of being an outsider. I view the landscape starkly, summarily, with an eye towards the big picture, the dramatic sweeps, the way it nestles itself into the other larger landscape of what I find familiar.
As an outsider, I see gaping flaws so perfectly obvious to me it seems unjust and cruel that they have not yet been fixed. I see...
New Year's Resolutions
Okay I have not planned this at all haha awesome. But I still like the little categories that I came up with last year, so I’ll just make some random shit up and then try to do it. Sidenote: I like things with numbers attached to them, because then there’s some small measure of objectivity there. If I were to resolve to, “be more respectful to people I hate” or something,...

Suck my dick, Photoshop. You’re really gonna crash on a 55 MB file? Really? I gave you -all- the RAM.

I like New Year’s resolutions. Because change is good, and temporary change is even better. They’re like setting up tiny experiments on yourself, and with like the worst science ever. Fun!
For 2011, I resolved to:
Art: Draw >80 pages of comics FAIL. I drew about 60 pages, the entire fucking year. Ugh I am ashamed of this one. Unless I’m forgetting some project, which is...
The Chux Wagon: Creative Sparks →
chuxwagon:
For over a month now, I don’t think I’ve drawn more than a single line. And really, for at least a couple months before that I was running on fumes (the last scene of Brightest really feels like it fell below my quality bar, honestly).
During this last month, the realization that my creative…
Gonna buck the trend here and say you gotta draw and write, even if it’s shit,...

Everyone said, oh, Savannah is beautiful, I just love it there!
That is untrue.
Granted, I have yet to step foot in that ~2 mile square called ‘downtown’ and have instead seen malls and strip malls and used car dealerships and old Pepsi bottling plants and Waffle Houses aplenty.
It’s not bad, standard east coast bullshit as far as I can tell, but I wouldn’t call it...

fffff I am sick of moving. This round in particular is kind of a bitch, because I have to ship my bike. ;_; poor babby.
Oh and maybe I’m stressed because I’ve never seen the damn place I signed a lease for.
Maybe that.
I’m also at the really dramatic stage of packing where if I’m in a bad mood I’m inclined to just throw all my shit away instead of wrangle it into...
Brian Wood: Channel Zero →
brianwood:
Andy Khouri gives me the Channel Zero interview I’d been waiting for, and also gets more out of me re: my “bleeding” essay from last week. I enjoyed the hell out of this.
Please read, and comment.
CA: One of the things that people took notice of when Channel Zero was originally…

I am attempting to read D. Gray-Man but I have to stop every chapter or so to giggle. This is the silliest shit ever.
It is a manga series about a boy who is an exorcist of, not demons, but deliberately not-translated-from-Japanese akuma. His left arm/hand is a weapon against these akuma. There are crosses everywhere and a plethora of Roman-Catholic imagery, but the main character gleefully calls...
