So this is the first time I've logged into DA for...oh...ages! Thing is, I've been doing a lot of video work lately and haven't gotten around to figuring out just how to format it correctly for posting here. Hopefully I will post some 2D/3D work from my 3D concepts/development or whatever it's called class (which I am happy to report I got honors in, yay!)

First semester of SIM at Massart went pretty well, still doubting myself and unsure of what the hell I'm doing sometimes but I feel like I'm making progress anyways. If nothing more, SIM has proved to be a great community to belong to, something I felt was missing for me at my previous school.  I like being among so much weirdness. It's great. In fact it's what I always thought art school would be like- I've made sculptures out of Wonderbread, spent an all-nighter mixing fake blood, there's been nudity, a dose of profanity, I've projected an image of the virgin Mary in a drinking fountain, taped video cameras to my legs and shot myself walking, attending a couple of low-key parties listening to friends' live music, got myself an art school girlfriend (whatever that means), and FINALLY found someplace I feel I belong. It's too bad I didn't make this decision a year sooner, but I'm glad I made it anyway.

Art-wise I still have no clue where I'm headed but I know I need to start listening to myself and relaxing and just having FUN with it for once so I can just enjoy myself and stay motivated for the duration of a project. Currently working on a body casting to be made into jello molds, gotta stick with it and FINISH it at some point soon, especially since I'll have a good opportunity to work on it while on break. But anyway, I'm going to try and stick with things and see them through while keeping my goals realistic. Which I suppose is something of a New Year's resolution, though I generally find those to be nothing but promises to make one feel guilty in February.
