Coming to a Close

Ok... so its here, the end of the semester is again around the corner and I feel like it just started. I have like 6 projects or things to do in 3 weeks, so thats like what two things a week. I can do that right? Sometimes being an art major can be very taxing especially when your a devout believer in procrastination. I really need to kick this habit. Sometimes I think I am going to school to see how far I can push myself, just to see what I am capable of. Anyone Else out there a compulsive procrastinator if there is such a thing? What is the closest you've come to a deadline?

I have an Idea for a story

Ok so I have what I consider to be an incredible idea for a story that I would like to write and in the future maybe even illustrate. My story is going to have something to do with the soul and its relation to the outside world. Does anyone have any commentary as to what I may want to watch out for or anything that is over referenced in the world of writing? If you have any ideas, keep me posted. Thanks.

Juggling

So tonight my post is about juggling, no not the classic form of juggling, but more of a time management. I have many classes, a work schedule, as well as a social life (aka a girlfriend). As of right now I am managing all of them pretty well but the last couple of weeks have been quite mind numbing, between project due dates and starts I am pretty much in awe of how I can finish something and ask myself how I got there. Seriously sometimes after reading an article i sit there and wonder what the heck I just read, or I will have drawn or made something and then wonder how I accomplished such a task without even paying attention... Do any of you suffer from this same affliction (or might you call it a blessing?)? I guess it depends on the situation...

My new website

take a look at my beginning level site that coincides with my interest in copyright as it pertains to artists.

Excited

So Ive picked out my new schedule for next semester and Im soooo excited for it, so much so that I cant wait for this semester to be over just so i can start a whole new one. Ive never really "painted" before aside from just attempts at colors and painting inside the lines of a created design for some projects in my 2D foundations class. I hope to be pushed and really get a feel for it, this next semester will be a very crucial semester, it will be the decision maker for what my classes and "emphasis" will be from here on out. Wish me luck(and of course advice is always welcome).

Getting back into the groove of things

Ok so I'm sure it happens to most of us, we go on spring or fall break and instead of coming back refreshed... you feel tenfold worse. I just recieved an assignment through email (yay, not), because who doesnt love getting assignments over email, you open it and just go "oh yeah, crap." So when starting an art assignment comming off of a break or vacation or what have you, what are the best ways to get motivated again? What things might you recommend that does not work (so those of us reading wont try those either)?

Have you ever had a project you thought would be easy and it turned out to be a nightmare? Welcome to my life right now. Im working on this project for my 3D foundation class and its taking me so long. Its not even that difficult its just all the small detail work, all that stuff that makes a huge difference in the end. What are your experiences? As for me it looks as though im going to get little sleep again because of one of these blasted projects, hopefully it turns out well... wish me luck.
