It's going alright

So here's an interesting story. A woman walks up to me at the subway terminal today. She says "Do you ever notice how this terminal always smells like dead chicken?". " Umm... no," I responded. And this is how the rest of the conversation played out.




"These damn kids always rather to kill chickens and spill their blood all over the place instead of makin' their own damn luck and go to school. They don't know the first meaning of the...meh...muf...ruff...riff." And she walked away still talking leaving me with the feeling that I might be high on drugs. Very weird.




Another tidbit of information. Went to the MET today to listen to a series of lectures on Super Heros and their importance in art history. Speakers included comic artists Alex Ross and John Cassaday and Michael Uslan, the executive producer of The Dark Knight. It was a great experience. Learned alot. The MET as of yet is the coolest place I've visited so far. I was like me in a candy store. I couldn't wipe the smile off my face. Also saw a great Lee Friedlander book for about $50. Plan on buying it before the end of my internship this summer.






Now on to the assighnments for this week...... Birds! (more on the way)
















Also drew some sketches durning the slower parts of the lectures...

More on the internship and photos for my problem solving class tomarrow.

shawn, i like your interpretation of the bird. are you going to make every assignment animal-based? you should make one "flowers" and then draw bags of flour like you brought to me that one time. SHAWN!!!!
