So. I'm a bit sick. Haven't been feeling like myself....mentally. Physically. I'm personally beginning to suspect an auto immune disease. Muscles locking up, nausea, 'brain fog', loss of cognitive ability... and my eyes are shot-- my vision's practically perfect but I'm hypersensitive to light and sound so I'm always squinting. Not good for art, yo..

I hate going to docs because all my readings come out ok. "Take fish pills!" BULL HONKEY. Every morning I'm uber super nauseous. Messes with my will to do-- anything, really. Right now I'm in a state of coming to terms with whatever's going on. And if it KEELS me-- well... I guess that's it then. It could be diet. Maybe. My boyfriend and I are starting to share a similar gut.

So.. what've I been up to. School. I made this. Duralar sheets cut out, strung together with thread, burned the knots so they'd stay together. The animation itself was tossed together in a few nights. Wish I had more time for puppets-- I was really getting into making them...

I think it's ok. Mostly cause I rushed, the animation I mean. I had such a hard time with the drawings-- this was at a low point in confidence a few months ago. I made re-dos of that bartendress puppet around 3-4 times (which is a lot of wasted time, considering how long it takes to make one single puppet. Hours-- but I loved it) But as a project it helped me get through a lotta stuff. Brought me back to when I was slightly more confident with my work. Critique felt like Christmas morning.

Anything else-- well I guess not. I had a few inbetween projects. They sucked. I did something on a whiteboard but it's not very good. I might post the part I like? I dunno. I want a do over with this miscelleneous thing I'm talking bout.

I'm spossed to be working a claymation featuring some props that are my first attempts at 3D printing (I'm taking a class.) My heart and soul isn't quite into 3D-- so it might show a little. We'll see.. we'll see.

I guess I'm off-- one thing I wanna mention, though. I've been trying to be as honest as I possibly can to myself, and others... I haven't told a white lie in months. The biggest hurdle I'm facing right now is being honest with my own art-- knowing I'm not up to speed as I think I should be. That's always a frustrating revelation. But I know I can power through it. The biggest truth I know right now is that... I'm not where I feel like I should be. And as an artist I know I can do better. Much better. I just hardly get to surround myself with people of actual.. talent. The school I'm in has kinda run be down-- worn me out a bit. More to come..

Later dudes.
