Some drawings


So this hectic semester has finally come to an end, I have finally moved all of my stuff to my sweet new apartment, and I can finally sleep past 7:30 am again lol. So I figured I should dust off my keyboard and update my blog a little more frequently, seeing as now all I have to do is roll burritos 40 hours a week lol.

Here are some of my drawings from my Advanced drawing class... I was spread so thin this semester that I felt I couldnt really give the proper dedication to any one aspect of my life, so I was feeling extremely frustrated. I did not feel like an artist this semester and that put me in one of the foulest moods Ive ever been in... which is hard for me to accomplish. Either way, I still scraped out the semester with 3 A's and a B in Art History of India.

But anyway. Drawings, yes... my professor (Professor Haran, he was my drawing professor the semester my dad died) I think could tell I was really feeling low about the amount and quality of work I was producing, so he pulled me aside during class and talked to me... He ended up complimenting me, saying "You know that you are one of the top 2 in the class, right? You are an easy student, you have an instinct for drawing that leads you to make some really good drawings"

I was more or less beaming. lol. To hear something like that from a professor I respect and admire so much meant the world to me.

I think thats why Ive been regressing on thoughts of my dad. Because he and I were both so passionate about art that I cant NOT think about him, and after Professor Haran complimented me like that I wanted nothing more in the WORLD then to call up my dad and listen to him say "All right Squeak! Good job sweety."

I can only hope he was smiling down on me at that moment, chilling next to Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendrix in the big Steak N Shake in the sky lol.

I know he's better off now. But sometimes I worry Im not.

Anywho. Ive got a laundry list of things I need to get done today... for now, some drawings:

  1. Hey Beleek,

    have missed seeing you around...my heart goes out to you--I totally understand--I lost my dad 3 years ago Easter Monday and life has not been the same since. Haran is such a good professor! Your drawings are great, they pull me in and make me look. Hope to see you in the fall! Stella
