Life update.

School is going, classes are relaxed, life is good. A bit of what i've been up to lately.

My room mate enjoying my (partnered) bubble wrap installation on campus.

Cool bugs our drawing teacher brought in last week.

LACMA cliche.

cityscape made of building toys and scraps.

LACMA with the fronds. :)

Self Learning! :D

Taking advantage of free time in this light term to read up on things i'm interested in that are actually irrelevant* to art and design.

*As in, it isn't an explicit topic of art or design, though I do not deny the obvious necessity of human factors in design research. 

I hope I actually get through the whole thing, as I can barely manage to finish a novel within the span of 5 months. To self learning!

Eternity

A man stopped me on my way home today and asked me where I thought i'd spend eternity. I told him I didn't know. He seemed to sort of freak out and proceeded to give me a pamphlet about Jesus. I understand his concern - I should have told him that when I die, I believe I will become a part of the Universe - stardust, particles of magic.

Car Show! JER! LOOK!

I went to my school's car show today for a class assignment - a fun assignment at that. 

Got lectured by a Transportation professor and then went out for some studies!

 HOT WHEELS HIGHWAY 35!! :D

 I AM YOUR... driver.

 :DDD

 I'll post sketches up later, assuming there worthy. (Vehicles are VERY difficult to draw.)

Cool book.

"Humans are inherently creative creatures and when we have a chance to create, we feel more satisfied and valuable."

Excerpt from a book I found at the school library yesterday. Cool read! :D And visually fun as well. 

I started taking a new student lead class and i'm surrounded by highly intelligent (at least by my standards) students who seem to know so much more than I do. I figure, it's never too late to start better informing myself on what's going on around me (design-wise and other-worldly wise). 

Experience Design by Nathan Shedroff (I think the pdf is online for free).

Dat Journey Doh.

Urghurghle. Journey map(s) in progress for main studio class. Sticky notes on the left and right will soon be on that wall, and all that sh*t on the left, paper, writing utensils, and other material - it'll be cleaned up.. hopefully soon.

Two videos to edit following the completion of these things and then off to sketching for ID Form homework! :D -.-

Happy Saturday night everyone.

Id Form for JerJer

Sample of ID Form, week 1 for Monsieur Jeremy. Draw through, always have/use center lines, shade, drop shadow, contour lines, line weight. Focus of the class is proportion and perspective, so make sure two views of an object look as alike as possible! Let me know if you try it Jer!
