Yay for all-nighters!
I've been listening to this song for the last six hours straight. Oddly, I still love it. Maybe even more.
So I've been working on this collage for Design Fundamentals for the last five and a half hours straight, just about anyway, and I don't think I've ever wanted a scanner more than right now. This thing is 10"x87" (no, I'm not quite sure how it ended up such a weird measurement, it was supposed to be around five to six feet, but oh well) and is based around the concept of illustrating music using basic fundamentals of design (big surprise there). Anyway, I've decided that even though it so über simple, I absolutely adore it. At this point, I don't even really mind if my teacher doesn't like it or if nobody else gets it because I do, and I love the concept. While this may be a little elitist, that's ok. I think sometimes, you have to create something just for yourself, and just say "fuck the rest of you" in order to regain some artistic, or even personality-istic (?) quality in yourself, something that helps you retain who you are and your sense of uniqueness, maybe? Then again, most people probably already have realized this and i'm just babbling because I haven't slept and don't plan to until much later tonight after going shopping at Michael's for Christmas candy supplies.
That's a lot of "maybe"s....
But yeah, that's what this piece is for me.
Either way, Coheed and Cambria is freaking awesome and I would still forget about re-paying my student loans for a chance to work with them on their story, being paid would doubtfully be a question.
It's been snowing since I don't know when, but I completely didn't realize it until I had to take a break in order to let some paint on the collage dry. The city looks really pretty, but at the same time, I'm dreading having to try and protect my project from it while taking it to class.
I'm going to go and make some coffee.
