Five days ago Princess Skye posted this quote on the The Princess Portal

"We should be taught not to wait for inspiration to start a thing. Action always generates inspiration. Inspiration seldom generates action. -Frank Tibolt"

I came across something in a similar vein today:

"Art has no influence upon action. It annihilates the desire to act. It is superbly sterile." -Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

What do you guys think about that? I have a bit of contention with Wilde, but that could be personal bias.

Today was the first day of school, wore my smocked UMBC shirt, there's a picture a few posts back.

Financial aid tells me I owe collections agency fees, 17%! (it's a value that looks like a comic expletive)
How can I make quick money, short of prostitution? . . . . hmmm, . . . prostitution . . . that could work . . .

So I started VCIII class today and I did a little space bending on a two dimensional surface:





Professor Bradley talked about cubes and the juxtaposition of the natural and the constructed. I've been reading Knitting Nature, so the first thing that comes to my mind is a Koch Snowflake. I made it with squares instead of triangles, I don't think it can work in 3-point perspective.



Aah, my brain, it burnnns!,
Disturbingly it brings to mind this

Wish me luck for tomorrow!

(My witty subject line lies, I didn't really get philosophical, I just can't wait for the new season of It's Always Sunny.)

being a princess, sketches, strong opinions
