I made a lot of books for Katie Murken's 2D design principles class last semester.

I finally declared my major as B.F.A. with a concentration in painting yesterday when I went over my course selection for next fall when I'll be studying in Rome.  Woohoo!

I made this last semester for my 2D design class when I was in the Foundations program.  It was juried into the Foundations Show this spring.  I didn't know that the show happened, and I ended up not getting to see my work up.  Sad face.  My professor ran into me in the bathroom, and said the show was over and they might throw it out if I didn't pick it up soon.  This is the kind of thing that happens to me... bahahah.  At least it didn't get thrown out, right?!  This post Other People's Love Letters has a picture of what my floor looked like as I was making it.

Recently, I've been thinking about using different formats for my drawings, so I decided to make an accordion book this time.

I...

...will see...

...you tomorrow,

Sweetheart.

I went to that viewing that I mentioned in an earlier post...  It was incredibly strange for me.  The last time I was at a viewing I was eleven years old.  As we were leaving because the funeral was in the morning, her husband bent over the casket and said this.  I think I broke into about a million and a half pieces right then.
