monday

i took the amtrak from GR down to chicago this morning and picked up my jeep from my little brother. he wasn't really excited to give it up but whatever lol.

i found a figure drawing group that meets every thursday starting next thursday, which is exciting. my adviser said she could probably get it set up where i could sort of audit an adjunct prof.'s entry level figure drawing course for the summer semester, but i thought that might be a little too much.

i didn't want to step on anyone's toes / feel like i was intruding with that course, or feel like i was being rude if i didn't make it at the 8.30 start time / stay for the whole 8.30 - 4.00 studio time so i'll stick with just the weekly pay sessions.

meanwhile, trying to ramp up my time actually spent drawing. i took my computer off the table and put it on a small end table in my room so i would have to crouch and be uncomfortable on the floor if wanted to waste time on the internet. yeah so now my back hurts lol.

i really would like to open illustrator up and get back into that, but man i got all this space to spread out and work traditionally which i didn't have like 2 weeks ago.

 

Your computer strategy sounds well-intentioned, but could well backfire. Good luck with it though, I look forward to seeing a new piece or three!
