I’m sick. . .pity me. :(

Just kidding, but I really am sick. I’ve got that whole sore throat, runny nose, head cold thing. I think it’s known as “the crud”. I was feeling really bad yesterday and had a fever. I was doing way to many things when I should have been resting. I hadn’t gotten much sleep that night because, once again, my nose was acting up. I feel a lot better today though. I still can’t talk—which got to be a problem since we had critiques today and we’re graded by how much we comment—but I don’t feel nearly as horrible as yesterday.

I went to the production design meeting yesterday to present my flyer design. Though they didn’t chose mine, they really like the illustration, so Susan (the woman in charge of the web site) is going to use if for the site design. So I’m happy about that.

My younger sisters are out of school today and tomorrow, but I’m not. I wish I was though; I need a break. I’m getting sick, and right now I’ve got a sore throat. Last night I kept waking up having to blow my nose, but luckily I had napped earlier that evening, so I didn’t lose as much sleep as I normally would have.

In the art sector, I’m currently coloring the fan art piece that I did for Frank.

I haven’t been coloring much artwork lately, mostly because it’s hard, and I wasn’t that good. But I’ve resigned myself to practice and get at least decent at it. When you add color to a drawing it can change the way the image is interpreted so much from how you originally intended. It can completely alter the mood of the piece. So I have to work on keeping the same feeling from the pencils to the colors.

I finally got my project printed that I mentioned in the last entry. I ended up leaving the computer lab at nearly 1 a.m. The last person didn’t get done until 2:15. I love Stephen the lab tech for staying there so late when the lab was supposed to close at 11 p.m. The project that caused all this headache: type self portrait. The whole thing is made out of typographical symbols.

Jamaal surprised me this weekend. It was our 1st anniversary and I didn’t expect him to be able to come visit this weekend, but he came anyway and we hung out, went to dinner, went shopping. It was great. ^_^

I’ve also got two more pieces of art:

Enjoy. :)
