First drafts.
As usual, artmaking stuff can be found at UpTheFolksStudio (there’s a new update as of saturday! check it.)
Today’s post is brought to you by first drafts and anxiety.
Tonight I finished the first draft of my novella.
I still have to go in and add, take away, poke and prod it, but the bulk of the story is out of my brain and on to the paper.
I’ve been carrying that thing around in my head for so long, I’m just glad it’s out on paper where I can forget about it for a couple days.
So, that’s nice.
Now for part two: Anxiety.
Also, stress. I have a lot of work piling up on me right now. This is understandable, as the end of the semester is fast approaching. What isn’t helping me, is my inability to sleep. I am constantly exhausted since I can’t seen to get my brain to shut up for even a couple hours about how much I have to do, so I can get to sleep and be awake enough to do it.
urgh.
I’m sorry I’ve been neglecting you.
Its just that my life is focused so much on studio time and artmaking that I have been focusing more on my studio blog.

For the time being, you can find me more readily there.
oh, and look how awesome rosemary is, she sent me bowie buttons!
FYI
I’ve decided to have a separate studio blog companion to this one that focuses on my art making practice.

(i’ll put the link in the sidebar under Places to Find Me)
Just in case you want to be updated on artmaking without my useless blathering on.
Freedom from format!
Hooray, the challenge is over! It’s march! Spring should be coming soon.
I’m finally through my beginning of the semester slump and am starting to make okay art again. However, I can’t find my camera charger. Instead I’ll show you what i’m doing in my “how to stop being bad at computers” class.
What does one do in a class like this? Photoshop your own work in to galleries.
mine is the Klimt/Cassat crossover. on the left wall.
Day 28
something that you miss
I just had to stop myself from writing “My Cat” because that’s just sad, isn’t it?
I’ll say Summer.
I also miss the sun.
Day 26
What kind of person attracts you?
I’m just going to go ahead and assume you mean romantically, since thats the kind of questionnaire this is.
What I find most attractive is kindness, followed by intelligence. I can’t really pinpoint any physical characteristics since I’m attracted to a lot of different things, and really truly I am attracted to personality way before I am attracted to anything physically.
Day 23
5 (current) famous men who you find attractive
I’ve changed the grammar.
It was really difficult for me to find actual people, not fictional characters.
Okay, I guess. I mean, I don’t want to objectify anyone. I’m going to list 4 dudes and some ladies.
1.) Colin Firth
I blame the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice.
Generally, though, in interviews and the like he’s struck me as a genuinely good person as well as being rather dashing.
2.) Craig Ferguson
Sexiest man in television. Hands down.
Its the charming, intelligent, funny thing. Can’t help it.
3.) Jim Henson
He is (was) SO GOOD at making puppets! How can I resist that skill?
4.) Benedict Cumberbatch (Only as Sherlock)
This comes primarily from my deep love for the Sherlock Holmes stories, and how lovely the recent adaptation and modernization is.
5.) Ellen and Portia.
I would gay for them (polyamory!) in a second. Attractive blond supercouple.
