Back to Skewllllll

Back in Delaware now. I finished the paper laptop and mouse for Dan and it came out pretty sweet. I used a bright orange contrasted with a white screen and yellow keys to really give it some pop color. I think he liked it.

On Saturday they took us out to an Australian fish and chips place where I ate shark and got to drink as much as I wanted for two hours with a wristband. It was sad to leave knowing I might not see some of those guys again but hopefully I can maintain some sort of relationship with everyone. I'm already planning on going to Toronto to see Andy, the British intern, at some point early next summer. Connie will be in NYC til March so maybe we'll do something too before she heads back to Chile. I hope that Dan, Andre and Jon realized my potential as an illustrator while I was there and hopefully I can do some work for them in the future. Until then its back to school and projects and building my portfolio. Last semester in Delaware and I plan to live it up. I'm taking classes with two teachers I havent had the chance to yet until now which are Dave Brinley and Troy so I am pretty excited. Peace out blog.

Sculpt Paper and Drive Hard

Today I updated my website, found my hard drive broken and got assigned a new project. Thank god because the Jersey Shore animation was killing me. So even though tomorrow is my last day, I have to create a to scale mac laptop and old school mouse... using nothing but construction paper. The idea is to create the them in the style of Thomas Demand, an artist who replicates entire rooms using nothing but construction paper. When I am finished, Dan or Andre is going to photograph them and use them for some kind of card or poster. As I finish the pabst blue ribbon in my hand I can already see the mouse in its completion and it came out pretty damn good. I'm not really in a rush to start the laptop today and think that I'll just work on that all day tomorrow.

Sucks about my hard drive though. I had a lot of work on there that wasn't backed up.

Chipotle

Today I delivered a package to West 57th where I ran into a friend from high school by chance in the same building I was going to. The package was addressed to the tenth floor which is BET. It was a pretty cool experience just to be in there. Then I got chipotle and it was sweet.
