Prints.

I am really happy with the outcome of both of my projects. I love the way that the whole tank man image flows, and all the pieces kind of seem to match and all have the same theme, even though i didn't try it at all. I also love the way it looks against a black background.





I also feel very content with my scans final. Although looking at it now, i wish i would have lassoed the scans and put them all on black without the white squares, i still really like how the final product looks.

Stream of Consciousness



I actually really enjoyed working on this project, and I'm satisfied with the outcome. Looking at and studying it, each individual square is like a different stream of consciousness, and the piece as a whole is like a dream. I like that when it was put together, it had a distinct palette, even though i did that unintentionally. It also flows very well, and the picture is still very clear.

Tank Man photos




Inspirational...

Watching the video on Tank Man really struck a heart string with me. It really inspired me, to be an inspiration to others. He had so much influence on the world, just by being courageous and standing up for what he believed in. Who knows what condition the world would be in today if he had kept going to wherever he was headed, and not stopped those tanks. I don't know if I could ever change the world the way he did, but if I could be an inspiration to one person the way he was to the entire world, I would say that my life was complete. That faceless, nameless hero has made a huge impression on me to never give up fighting for something that I have faith in, no matter how hopeless the situation seems.

dogs in space!?


That's crazy.

Fun && safe Halloween

This weekend, a few girls and I carved pumpkins in the lounge of my hall. I made a typical jack-o-lantern face, and painted on the back a bat, ghost, and andy warhol-style banana; just something random. I didn't get any pictures of the pumpkin because for some reason, it went rotton really really quickly, but it was pretty cool looking :).

I also decorated my door and hallway at peabody with my floor mates for the little kids that came trick-or-treating. It looked really good. We put up streamers, headstones made out of paper, and lots of other decorations.

I also dressed up thursday, friday, and saturday nights, of course!
