So, first, and most important. Constructive Deconstruction is DONE! As in, finished, totally done. The critique was amazing, so many people were there! Somehow I got lucky and two classes where there to watch the festivities. I got some great pics and Zach was filming it. So, lets just get down to it.

And here is the VIDEO! I had so much fun editing and added a Deftones song. Hope you likes!

Also I dressed up as a Rockstar Neko today for lunch and work, it was epic. Heres some pics

Yay for ipods and kitty ears! Tomorrow – steampunk kitty! W0000t… hopefully we still get to go to RONS house! His kid is sick.. so sad.

Last night was.. well interesting. lol. We always go to our firend Rons on Saturday nights and well, a girl showed up that I hadnt seen in about 3 years. The weird thing is, she has dated about everyone there, so things were.. interesting.. especially considering she was drunk… DRUNK off her ass.

Today was great though, I got to spend time with my friend Lou, shes the best. We are derishus mexian food. El AGAIN! OH no! We are going to hang out again tomorrow. Im excited!

Critique

So I was up working on my sculpture, oh… til about 5am.. What I did was put hose on the wire frame and painted it with many coats of starch. This made it very stiff, which would be good, but I needed more of a contour shape, sooo… I decided to use plaster. Well the water in the plaster dissolved my starch.. so I decided I would use paper mache. This worked well but wasnt drying quick enough, so.. in a stroke of brilliance (sarcasm) I figured if I put a layer of plaster over it, it would dry and soak up the water. WRONG.. wrong wrong. It NEVER dried.

So I did my Plan B (or Z) and just covered it in an old copy of “The Female Orgasm” (a scientific look at it) At 5am I just gave up. I went back at 8am and it was still VERY wet… I had to use woodglue to keep the pages from falling off. After the pages were wet and had turned colors abit, i really started to like it.

It came time for class and I had to move that heavy bitch. It sucked, but all worked out in the end! My critique went well and I loved how she looked displayed. I cant wait to actually finish her. I think she would look amazing in a gallery.

I really like it. The inside looks like fire, which helps the concept. I want to go back over her and make it a bit more smooth, also add some thicker wire. In critique someone brought up the idea of sound, which I think would be interesting to add pr0n background noise or music.

In other news, a butterfly landed on my hand today.

The Beginning

☞ Well, I have a sculpture due tomorrow at 11am. It is a project involving light. Right now its a bit in shambles but headed in a good direction. I just talked to my (wonderful) boss and she is giving me the say off (I also worked for her Sunday) to finish up. I have a shit ton of work to do on it. like… TONS. I dont even know if my plan will pan out anyway. Lets hope starch still does the same stuff it did when I was a kid. I still have to starch the damn thing and cover it in plaster, then shape the plaster. Oh my.

It looks like a big heap of poop now, lol. But I assure (at least hope so) its coming along nicely. lol.

In other news, yay for blogging! LOL first once since… 2004 maybe? oh god.
