I just realized that I dont have any friends that I can really throw ideas back and forth about art with. Ive got a pretty sturdy art history background, ass well as my art major... but all of my friends are like, business majors lol.
I have friends in my classes, but I think Id like to make a couple of them round the clock friends lol.
My focus for Advanced drawing is Self Portraits, and I was thinking of doing a life size landscape portrait of myself (obviously) nude (with all the important bits covered), in a reclining position, making it an amalgam of the Reclining nude composition that was so popular in art history, with the Reclining Buddha, or the Buddha reaching enlightenment right before entering death.
Thoughts?

Hmm
So, finally getting back into the swing of drawing... havent seriously sat down to draw since... November? so it's nice, zoning out again... I've been drawing for the past 7 hours or so and it's completely flown by... it's refreshing.
I've got 6 drawings done, and 4 more to go... I've already got the preliminary sketch done for one of them, so essentially only 2 and a half drawings left. lol. BUT ANYWAY. I think Advanced drawing will be a little easier for me then advanced sculpture.... but Lord knows what might happen this year.
On a side note, I can't decide if I want to buy these high wasted pants or not...

This is daunting.
SO I just got back from my advanced sculpture class, and I'm not gunna lie, this semesters gunna be hard. He's given us total freedom of subject, concept, materials... the whole shebang. I have one very distinct sculpture I know I want to do. But thats about it.
I want to make a life size personal version of my dad depicted as the Reclining Buddha, or as the Buddha Entering Nirvana. Itll be covered in images an drawings, and would involve cast molds of hands and feet.
Aside from that though, I dont know what else I would like to do. I think my greater concept is going to be about collecting personalities, so I might do a different person for each sculpture.
I'd really like to try and tackle a life size self portrait too, but Im worried Im being too ambitious.
... maybe I'll just call the series of sculptures 'Vickers'. and do one of each of myself, the one mentioned above of my dad, Breena holding baby Gary, and Brogan.
I think if I did the one of Breena Id end up being snarky and maybe a bit mean, maybe depict her as the Virgin Mary holding baby jesus... Id probably depict her in a negative manner and baby Gary in a good manner, but I dont know how Id do that... the mental image with the burst of rays coming from behind Breenas head is deeply amusing to me though.
I suppose I could do the agony/ecstasy sculpture... kinda cliche though.
Many many things to think about...

New Year, New Start.
So, 2009. A brand new start for me. I don't normally do resolutions, but I think I kind of need them this year.
-Budget my money. I really make a good chunk of change for what I do, but I've gotten too accustomed to eating out all the time, dropping like, 30 bucks every other night on drinks and sushi with Lu. So not as much of that, see if I can't save up some money, see if I can't make it to Egypt this Summer, or to New York in March with Lu.
-Try to watch what I eat, and try to get back into spinning classes with Andi. My cardio was awesome the first half of the year, because Andi and I went to spinning nearly every other day. And you're supposed to be in the best shape of your life while in your 20's, right? I should be graduating next December, and will no longer have free access to the UCF gym, so I want to seize the opportunity now. I also really want to get back into dance/ballet/belly dancing classes. Dance put a calm over me the same way drawing does, and I really miss it.
-"If it is not right do not do it; if it is not true do not say it." -Marcus Aurelius. My mother always told me to never lie, and always be honest to myself and others.... which is ironic, because she lied to us for years about her cheating on my dad... but whatever. I lied to myself and to others a lot this past year... and, in retrospect, I don't like it at all. I lost someone very close to me last year for lying. I'm not losing anyone else this year. So if you want to know if your ass looks fat in those jeans.... don't ask me lol.
Picture of the Day:
Last night was the first night I've spent in my bed since I got back from Seattle on the 30th. It was amazing until Zilla woke me up at the crack of dawn, lol.
And just for amusements sake, a picture of a game Jacob used to play at his Youth group. Mind you, we were entirely sober during this.
