Anyway here is an update of what I've been up to in the cave printlab.
"Swan Song"
3 color plate. This turned out better than I thought, not as good as I hoped. The colors aren't exactly what I hoped for so theres still quite a bit of tweaking to do.
"Untitled"A rather failed attempted for my landscape class. We were supposed to find something to draw that the rail station.

Every. Damn. Time. When they see the boats coming I just lose it.
In other news, we visited the private collection at the gap headquarters which was...not exactly my aesthetic. But S.F with the tribe was a good time and we kicked it at the little dive on the Embarcadero. Naturally it called for some hipstermatic to capture the moment.

Consensus: quarter systems sucks. I only got to do three lithographs, and no color. However as you may have counted there are four, naturally this is because I'm one of those over achieving types.Well kinda, like when I feel like it.

I've always loved Röyskopp. Their trippy electronic funk instramentals take my mind to strange places and get amazing result. This companion album is darker and much more suited to my style than their previous album Junior. My absolute favorites on this one are: The Fear, and Forsaken Cowboy.

Quarter. DAMMIT.
Anyways. I'm actually taking art classes this time around. Excited? Just a little. So I'm taking beginning painting, which in all fairness should just be called "Play With Expensive Oil Paints 101" But I need it, because apparently the word, watercolor is synonymous with shitting your pants.
