hanging sculptures

picture borrowed from Elisabeth Kiss

in November I helped out my friend Kiss with her sculptures for visual display in an event in Vega called Nordic Sounds (check out her flickr). I merely painted and fire-proofed them, but I love working with my hands, pretty much no matter what, so it was really cozy just hanging out with her, painting, drinking tea and listening to music. she shares this big workshop space with some other artists and there's everything the heart could ever want, paint/wood/tool-wise: amazing! it's called Ragn and is right next door to Mayhem.

endless gratitude

I finally took the time to look through the photos from this years Festival of Endless Gratitude (there are many, many, many); it made me all nostalgic, but luckily there is a support show for the festival, this Thursday at Mayhem, so I can wallow a little bit. can't wait. hopefully a lot of people will spend a lot of money, so the festival can live on. and this Wednesday there's the release of Geiger no. 21, which will include some of my photos from the festival. woo!

these seven photos are from the last day of building and the first official day/night of the festival.

drawing into mugs

a drawing I made some time ago, using brown felt-tip pen, and on the left in the picture above are some print-outs I made in school, that are for mug printing.

I made 6 in all, but 3 friends from school had to have one each, so I have 3 left for myself - which is awesome since I now have matching mugs! yay.

 the turquoise one changes color into white when filled with boiling water. pret-ty cool, eh.

I scanned in the drawing using Photoshop and live traced it in Illustrator, and I'm well pleased with the detail in both prints and mugs.

I love my school and now it's almost over. sigh.

today at 9.15 I had a final in physics/chemistry and I got a B. I was both surprised and very relieved, because I was so nervous when I woke up this morning. phew!
