Show & Tell pt. 2
This is another piece from my design class. Using nothing but photoshop's paint brush tool and only the colors black and white (no greys), we were asked to create a couple of different sea creatures of our choosing. I chose jellyfish, horse shoe crab, and shark. Here's my rendering of a jellyfish. Also, we were specifically asked to be more ambiguous in our interpretation, as opposed to literally drawing the animal.

Art Class: Show & Tell
I'm taking a design class this semester and my professor doesn't go through everyone's pieces with the class. He does randomly pick five or six student's work to show, but I've never been called. No big deal, but I've been pretty happy with the work I've done this semester so I figure I will share some of the work I've done in a hopefully reoccurring set of posts designed to show you, dear internet, the work I've done. So yeah, this first piece I'm showing we were told to create a symmetrical image using a coffee mug. It's not perfect symmetry, but it does have relative horizontal symmetry. Anyways...

Adventures in Poor Eating
For anyone reading this who doesn't know, being poor sucks. At first it sucks not being able to go out to the bars or out for bubble tea. It sucks not being able to really buy fun stuff like DVD's or movie tickets. You start to really feel the weight of being broke when it comes to what your eating at home. I'm sure some of you have looked at the food you have and thought "If I just kinda cram it into a pot with some salt and pepper, I wonder how it would taste?" Well, I found out. It's not good. I fried scrambled eggs and steamed rice together into patties. I then put them on a plate with some salt and pepper, and topped it all off with some syrup. I realize I'm whining, but it's my blog and I feel the need. It just sucks when you're eating to fill up, regardless of taste. I mean, the egg/rice/syrup thing wasn't inedible, but you just don't feel better eating it. Argh, oh the things I would do for a slice of pizza right about now. Munch munch munch.

Wait... I Thought We Figured This Out?
I was watching the vice-presidential debates and Palin and Biden we're asked about gay marriage. I was a little surprised, and maybe it was a little naivete, but I didn't realize gay rights was still an issue. I thought "Are we still talking about this? Is this still an issue?" It worries me that it's 2008, we're part of one of the biggest and most powerful countries in the world, and we're still worried about what two consenting adults do in their bedroom.
