So...

So, this describes how I've been feeling lately with frightening accuracy. We are nearing the end of the semester and I am just running out of steam. I'm not terribly stressed or anything, just tired all the time and keep falling asleep at odd hours and at school. I just prey to any gods that I don't have something like Mono. That would just suck balls... As far as my art goes, I have a bunch of ideas swirling up in my head but I haven't had the time or energy to actually put them down into anything concrete yet. I have started my final projects in all of my classes and I've even started setting up a proper studio space in the basement for me to work in but none of my own creative work yet. I have been sketching though, which is good.

I think I am going to start really getting into screen printing again. I have a lot of good ideas I would love to see executed but it will take a little time to get some stuff together. I finally got my screen printing machine for almost half price on Black Friday, which is nice, but I still need at least 2 or 3 more frames, more ink, emulsion and remover chemicals, and I have to set up a space or drying, fanning, etc. I think I will manage to get everything set up in the studio over winter break and then I will begin working. Maybe I will even get some nice pieces done before next semester starts.

On a happier note, I am taking a trip to Jamaica on the 2nd of January with my sister. I haven't been to the Caribbean since I was 13, so I am pretty excited. It will be a great way to start off the new year. I was hoping to maybe get a nice camera for Christmas but I can always wait for my birthday or maybe save up on my own and cut a deal for my Dad to pay for half or something. I think a vacation is just what I need and that will make one kick ass Christmas present for sure.
