My future studio! yay! http://www.panoramio.com/photo/6065108

Recently,

I've become obsessed with the song "superman" after learning what it meant.



I think I want to make a song in response called "Picasso that Gigolo" which would entail the woman making a drawing out of the male's ejaculate on his chest.

Fall Fashion Preview!

For Loring

!!!!!!!!!!!!!OMG UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its legit, the real deal, an update from me!

Dear friends afar, you know me and my tendency to fall off the face of earth. But I've returned to post a few pics for your personal enjoyment and to end your worries.

My space is a raging mess

A test of pouring cake batter(funfetti) over my work

This is Jackie, my co-worker. I made him a birthday cake because his mom called the TCCH (Terra Cotta Coffee House) to order him a cake, I offered to make it.

By me making it, I mean I directed my friend Ali as she made while I puked on myself. Due to celebrating Jacksons B-day with him the night before. Naturally, I drank like it was my birthday.

Hallaween?

White Noise

I was a transgendered individual just in case you were wondering.

How did I get to be so good at life?

Last Chance 2008, part II. The saga continues.

Today was my day off this week. It was great. I didn't work in the studio during the day. Instead I called people, went to the bank, went to the consignment shop, went to kinfolk and got more French Brie and relaxed. I finally purchased the almost full bar set I've been lusting over.Then I decided I need to accomplish something so I made myself a to do list.
Proudly, I accomplished everything on my list. Well with the exception of drawing dead flies because the only fly I drew was the one on the list and I think it's alive.
Like last semester I made myself a big stressful calender and put it up in my space. I've been meaning to do this for a while. Now I'll have some sort of visual organization to my chaos.

Scarves, mine.

Just to let you know.

Today.

I pet a cow. It licked me and I liked it.

Went on an adventure with Undine and Carol and had a bad attitude. (sorry)

Took a nap to sleep off my bad attitude.

Burned my had at work.

Only ate $5.00 of French Brie.

Worked in the studio and hung out with Liz til 5am. Very enjoyable.

Autumn in Alfred is beautiful and the air is crisp and clean.

Also, I chewed some bubble gum and blew bubbles, drank red eyes, and updated this blog.

Sick Nasty

I just went to go lay down for bed. I saw a dead fly in my bed next to my pillow. SO fucking gross. Since I've been collecting dead flies, flies have been stalking me. I have no idea how a fly got into my room let a lone my bed. I would have taken a picture for this blog entry but I had to remove that thing immediately from my bed.

Update

What am I eating?

Its been a long week. I had to go home to Toledo for a funeral. Today was my first day back in the studio. All the special students gave talks about there work today, it went well. I put all my dead flies in individual bags. It grossed me out.

Dance you little buggers.

Time well spent? Do you think I could enter this image above to creative quarterly? Rachel, I guess I don't need wallpaper because I've wallpapered my studio with cockroach drawings.

two-NIGHT

Can only be a good time.

Or Trouble, I'm hopping both.

Dry your eyes and shut the fuck up.

I finally finished this plate. It took me three weeks. WTF! It looks horrible. After I finished it, I crawled under my work table and cried. I'm really glad it was 2:30am so there wasn't anyone around. I decided I wasn't an artist and never will be one.

I think there is going to be some major cracking problems. While we're on the subject of me not being an artist. Here are some pots I've made.

After I dried my eyes and stopped being a little bitch. I stared at all the
cockroach drawings I made earlier that day that I hung in my studio. Then
decided to sketch a roach in clay. Here it be.

Also earlier in the day, while I was drawing roaches I was talking to Loring online. I told him how bad my feet smelled and he suggested that I draw feet on my cockroaches, instead I drew roaches on my feet.

I should have done this the one and only night I attempted Goth night. I would have been a gothster (goth star) instead of being a hipster (hip star).

I can't stop freaking out.

I started painting. This is the painting that I started that is not interesting.

















I ordered fake roaches online the other day. They just came in the mail yesterday. I want to make at least 500 cockroaches in clay. I thought I could order fake ones, take a mold of them and cast them. But I didn't like them, so I'm back to the drawing board, literally.





















So I've started drawing roaches. I'm thinking about maybe sculpting the bodies and casting those and maybe making the extremities with another material so they wont be so fragile. While I'm on the subject of bugs, I've started a dead fly collection. Amongst other things such as chewed gum. I feel a cavity a comin'. At the coffee shop I work at they have a fly catcher, I've been trying to plot its kidnapping.

This was in the next town over and I have no clue what it is. It seemed fucked up.

A poem I wrote when I was in high school was casually on some poetry website. http://www.poetry.com/dotnet/P7682714/999/1/display.aspx

In process....

This is a plate I'm working on, I've included two shots. I put one upside down to get a better idea of what it'll look like once completed. The feet will be on the bottom obvi.

Rachel, here is a better pic of the teeth. Its hard to say if they're going to be good or not, we'll have to see after they're fired.

Not really exciting, sorry to disappoint you.

Moss Lake is a lie.

Undine, a very special Special invited me for a hike at Moss Lake. Well, we never found moss lake but we did have one weird adventure.We drove through many dumpy towns and saw indescribable horror. We stopped at a weird yard sale that has never been taken down since it had been put up. Everything was weathered and one table had imploded. The only pic I could sneak was this one of the bean bag babies closed pined. How creepy. If you saw this place and the man who lived there, you'd imagine roadkill closed pinned in a similar manor in his house.

Continuing strangedom. Is this not the weirdest looking Salvation army?

Our last and final stop was at 3 Bums Pizza. I opt they should update their name to 3 bums and the Nats. While we were eating our not-so-tasty pizza there were a swarm of Nats frying around us. Undine complained about them and I said "I'm sure we have a few baked in our pizza." No sooner then I said that I picked one out of my cheese. True story.

I miss all my friends.

Lame

Life has been boring these days. I have no clue what I'm doing, some guidance would be much appreciated.

P.s This spider was plotting my death in the studio today.

Someone left me this Chuck E Cheese token as a tip yesterday. I was excited and began planning on a Chuck E. Cheese adventure until I realized the nearest one is in Rochester, an hour an half away. (Sad Face).

Yesterday was the first day I was able to work in the studio. I started sculpting these teeth. Speaking of teeth. The Dean of the school of art at AU has a few gold teeth. It's fucked up.

Life in da Hood!

Dis my Space! My super sweet space is under some sort of hood. I think it use to be a spray booth. I love it!I plan on putting up a sign about my hood. Its way more space and stuff than I thought I was going to get. I can officially start making shit tomorrow!!!!!!!

After arriving home from work (1am), I was alarmed because a light was on that I didn't leave on. Nothing was out of place but the other bedroom door was shut. I opened it to only find someone sleeping in there. I just shut the door and went to bed. I was a little pissed I wasn't given any notification that 1. they found me a roommate 2. surprise she's here. I couldn't sleep because all night I played different scenarios about who might be asleep in the other room. I had to get up to meet the grads and faculty today at 8am. Ol' girl was already up. She's pretty nice. She's from Georgia, no she's not a Georgia peach. She's from the other Georgia, the country. The country that Russia just invaded.

Above the microwave I have some GI's set up, there were also a few in the Fridge. (no, I didn't do it after I meet her, they were already set up) The question I pose, do you think that is inappropriate? You know, beacause of the war in her motherland?

Last night I began my training as: Barista Marisa. Everything was cool except the kid training me likes John Mayor and didn't understand why I didn't. He asked what music I like, I said the best way to describe it is Indie Pop. He was like "Yeah, like Maroon 5." Umm no dumby. I did have two catastrophes while steaming milk. Both involved Steamed milk to the temperature 160 spraying all over me. Both happened in front of customers.

P.S. Sorry to disappoint you, I will not be a maid after all. The Terracotta will provide me with sufficient hours.

Rachel gave me an ice tray that makes heart shaped ice cubes. I can't stop making them and if you know me, I don't usually take ice in my beverage. Loring and I had a lovely discussion via Google chat before and after he got his G Unit. During a chat, we, or I decided the best record title: Aww naw bitch, top dolla n' centz. (Word to yo motha)

Barista Marisa.

Yes! Thank you sweet Jesus. I got a job at the Terracotta coffee shop, now I wont need to take that job as a dishwasher. The Terracotta is a pretty sweet coffee shop. Its way better than Grounds for Thoughts.It has Ceramic art everywhere, an area out front with tables an upstairs with computers and a patio in the back. It's bad ass. I start training tonight! When I turned my application in there the girl who took it told me they weren't hiring. In your face Dumby girl.

I went back to that vintage/ consignment shop today to take some photos. I could have kicked myself yesterday for not taking my camera. I got this dress for you Rachel. Actually, I didn't but I wanted to. It's only 18 bucks and I thought you'd love it. I'll buy it if you do.

In the back room there are some fucked up dolls. When I first saw them, and looked one of them in the eye, my body filled with fear. I almost started crying. You should click on the picture to enlarge it. You'll have nightmares. For serious.

It's true, I left my apartment today. I had a job interview so I had to leave. I got the job in case you were wondering. I'm going to be one of the newest maids at the Saxon Inn. Yes, me a maid. Who knew, I've also put in an application to be a dishwasher and to work 3rd shift at a quickie mart. I think its official. I've hit an all time low. On a happier note. check out this amazing vintage alligator skin purse I purchased for a whopping $5.80. I know I'm suppose to be scrimping but could you blame me? Its fabulous. After my interview I decided to stop in every store, gas station, restaurant within a 30 minute walk.

I did discover a super vintage store. I love vintage stores, I've been to many in many different cities. This one was pretty awesome because not only did they have interesting stuff but it was almost dirt cheep. After I went there I walked down some random side streets, I found a small organic food store. I picked up some produce and an application. After I took that stuff home I went on a 2 hour walk to nowheresville. But I did get some great shots of signs. I find this college sign funny because it reads to me College Graduates ahead. I guess I've just never seen a sign for a university like that.

I also walked past a Poultry Farm. I thought Megan would enjoy that. I wondered to a town called Tinkertown. It had a hardware store that sells pies on Fridays. It also had a huge rack of axes. So if any of these hill people are axe murders you know where they probably purchased their axes.

Once I made my way back I wondered over to the art building. I snooped around the kiln yard. There were a few kittens living in a wood pile. If one would have came to me I probably would have taken it home even though I don't really like cats. I do think all black kittens are cool. No one was around. I meet all the other Special Students and Grads on Friday.

Once I receive my maid uniform I'll probably take a picture of myself in it and post it. I'm really interested in humiliation.

OMG, I Forgot.

The first day I moved I didn't lock my front door. I don't know, maybe I was testing the waters. That night while sleeping, I woke up to some girl in my bedroom saying, "Did you know your door is unlocked?" WTF who does that?

Day Three and I still haven't left my apartment

This dude’s pretty hip. He always reminds me to take my keys with me when I leave, not that I have yet but when I do, he’ll be there to remind me.

Some people have baby momma drama. Not me, I suffer from phone drama. The latest on my phone drama, my charger decided to be a bitch and stop working. I took it apart, fucked with it and with a little purple electrical tape I got things working. Score! Tomorrow, day 4, I plan on leaving my apartment. I will not become a shut in, I don't even have a T.V.

Hi, I'm new here.

I just moved to Alfred, NY and I’m already screwing shit up. My electricity won’t be on for a few days so I improvised. I plugged an extension cord into an outlet in the hall, and then hooked that up to a power strip. Now I have energy! I was able to setup my computer, a lamp and charge my phone and camera!
