Checking In...art...grad school
Hi, I hope everyone has has a good week so far. I've been having a good time. Recently, I started working on some linoleum block print carving. I have done the carving of three so far, no immediate plans to print them, the carving is a great way to focus my anxious mind on something. I did stab myself with a sharp tool though. I'll post pictures of the blocks themselves soon.
As far as my thesis is going, I now have three members of my committee. Professor Mindy McAdams has agreed to sit on my committee. I am so happy, I know she will be very helpful and want the best. The class she taught "New Media and Democracy" has to be one of the best classes I have ever taken. We need more classes where we examine new media the way Professor Mindy does in my department. Maybe one day she will teach an interdisciplinary class at Digital Worlds. The other members of my committee are Professor James Oliverio and Professor Ben DeVane.

random thoughts on today
Jim Butcher could do a better job on the Harry Dresden novels. I'm halfway done with writing a short story. No Idea where it is going still.
Tonight was the printmaking show. It was really great. I went with Lindsey and David. I sort of wished I would have taken lithography. Printmaking is such a unique process. The professor, Bob Mueller, is one of the most unique people I have ever met. He's one of a kind. Bob gives this incredible speech about the times he has been in Iceland that is so moving, funny, strange, and wonderful. He's such an exciting man.
The paintings are going well. I am doing large paintings of words. Get excited. I'm going to live in the studio now.
Do you ever google someone you know? Or yourself? It's really creepy what comes up. Try it.
Happy Birthday Amanda!
