I'm sooo happy to be in all fashion classes this quarter. It's all relevant, and hey, it's all at one building that's a 5min walk away. It's so depressing, however, to be in fashion sketching class and to feel this pressure to draw my women thinner, thinner, with longer and longer and impossibly longer legs. Intense pressure.

And this is why I needed to attend, if not SCAD, then art school with a fashion major: I have all these ideas in my head and I can't draw them. This is especially frustrating because I get half formed ones all the time-- the mere mention of hey, maybe you could do something steampunk? is enough to set all sorts of stuff firing-- and if I could ( Read more... )

So, I left my house at 7:17. Lock up, head towards class. Class wasn't til 8 but just in case Google was wrong and it would take more than 12 minutes to walk there, I left good and early.
