Bonnarooooooo....

This was my 3rd year going and I must say it wasn't as great as the past 2 years but it was still fun. My favorite shows were Ratatat (it was an awesome set and I have always wanted to see them), Robyn, & Deerhunter. I'm thinking maybe next year I can try a different music festival. Anyways while I was there I got some pretty cool earrings that were made of wood. They probably would have looked just as cool plain but I decided to paint them.....















Also today I started a sketch for an illustration job.
It's for my friends dad who wrote a book and wanted to have shirts made that highlighted a part of the main characters wardrobe. The main character wears a shirt that has a monkey wearing sunglasses and holding a banana. Above it says confirmed genius. I don't want my illustration to be THAT corny so I'm trying to give the monkey some attitude.....It's still pretty corny so far though haha.

After 6 years of radio love.....

I found Wrvu when I was about 14. It was then that I stopped listening to main stream radio and really started to discover music. I remember hearing Bloc Party and Arcade Fire for the first time. Those were the days. My favorite show used to be on Friday mornings from 6-8 Am. The Friday Morning Drive......I would listen to it on my mp3 player that could pick up radio on the way to school. I would always look forward to the Friday morning bus ride. Ahhhh and 91 dance with DJ Ron will no longer be able to be played at work. Being able to listen to 91.1 was one of the perks I had at work. It was a reason I haven't quit Subway yet. It's pretty funny that as I type this I am listening to Wrvu.....and guess what they are playing....the first Arcade Fire song I heard. I am truly going to miss this station....R.I.P Wrvu.

Stop Motion

Well for our last 4d project we had to make a stop motion animation. The first one I did was based off of a childhood memory. I go to South Carolina every year and one year I remember waiting for my parents to go to the beach and I was standing outside next to a puddle. It had a wonderful reflection. I grabbed a palm tree leaf and started to pretend like I was fishing. So this is that interpretation. 







The second animation was something me and my boyfriend wanted to make a while ago, so i finally did it. When my boyfriend first heard dubstep music he said it sounded like something terminators would play if they had dance clubs.







hopefully there will be more to come because today is my last day of Maymester and I will have to much free time after this.
