ugh

so my goal for this semester was to keep up this blog and so far its been an ultimate FAIL. I could blame it on the fact that I currently spend between 9 and 12 hours a day in studio at this point, or the fact that recruitment took over my life for the first few weeks, but really, I sit at a computer more than half of every day so I don't have any excuses.

However I HAVE started using twitter. Stacey posted this gross but cool video and I was happy to find that it's Phil Hansen whose work I've been following for a while. His website is here and it has a lot of cool, weird stuff. I particularly like the idea behind his goodbye art where he creates work that he destroys so that the only thing left is photographic documentation. He works on a huge scale a lot too...it kinda makes me want to go make a giant painting.

In other news, its absolutely gorgeous outside and finally starting to get warm which makes me very excited. I can't wait until it's warm enough to go take a nap on the green =) Spring break is in less than 2 weeks which is mildly terrifying since the semester seems to be flying by and that means I'm way closer to graduation and attempting to find a job! eek. Anyway, its back to work for me, I promise I'm going to try harder to update this thing on a regular basis...
