I hate that I smoke, this week was part one of my resolution. Hopefully the happy pill keeps me tolerable and passive. The next two weeks will be the worse. This is the most healthy and progressive transition that I will make all year. I just applied to a private university to continue on with my BA. I need all the financial assistance possible. I think the tuition is a little overrated. This is a great program that leads to wonderful job opportunities in our little sheltered city and possibly abroad. I also wanted to bring up the subject of my more dark pieces in my gallery. It has been brought to my attention that I lack pleasant imagery in my work lately. I just want to let my little audience know that this has been an expiremental time for me. A computer illustration course I recently finished really pushed for this type of creativity. Sometimes it happens by mistake and sometimes it happens because maybe I really need to express some things. I have always had an interest in the music of Nine Inch Nails and the artwork portraying the band's image. It was on a trip to Chicago when the Downward Spiral was released and I had visited some really crazy, modern art galleries. I could have been only fourteen or fifteen, but the music was a great soundtrack for what my eyes had experienced. This was a great time for new age surrealists and collage artists to get space all around the "L". At the museum there was also some edgy,interactive installments. Some things left me with the creeps, somethings left me thinking. I always thought this was the coolest art teacher for taking us on this trip. Hopefully soon I will be submitting some basic design for advanced critiques from the more experienced. Until then, I will keep expirementing. Oh yeah, NIN is coming to town.
