Too Much

Dearest Readers,

I think I may be going insane. I’m not 100% sure, but it sure feels like it. I am only takeing 3 classes, am preparing to test out of another 3 but the end of november. Still trying to fin a ticket for December and not really finding anything for a decent price. Then….Then there is this exposition that i am TRYING to do that is not coming together as smoothly as planned, but i guess anything worth doing in life is never easy.

I still don’t have the pictures i need! And everyday i feel as though i am running in circles trying to get everything done! i guess i am literally running around in circles making 3 tips a day to the photo lab, 2 trips to school, stoping once or twice to grab a cup of coffee and take 30 seconds for myself, and in between all that racing home 4 times to change messenger bags, backpacks, or portfolios depending on where my next turn takes me.

I love art…….i think,

Josh

A Sunday Spent Tattooing

Dearest Readers,

As the name of this post implies it is about this past sunday.  I really have nothing that new or exciting to wrote about this week except that. It started with a few friends coming over to have a few beers and chew the fat a bit.  Caro (a friend of mine) came as well to start her new tattoo. As we went on about this and that i started preparing the stencil to transfer the image directly onto her skin.
The next step was to clean my work area (my table). This implies passing some sort of disinfectant spray and wrapping the area in question with plastic film. I prepared me machines and in and finally got down to work.

An artist always starts with the outline of the image, later filling it in with color and shading. As we soon discovered this part of Caro’s leg was incredibly sensitive and her constant movement was impeding my work. At this point we decided to only do the outline that day and later fill the piece in.

After much discomfort, on both our parts, the outline was finished. As the last of her insults and obscenities (due to the pain) finished i could not help wondering “this must be what a dentist feels like”.

After cleaning up and few more beers everthing mellowed out and it seemed as though my earlier acts of torture were forgotten. I finished my day attending a stand-up show at a local bar .

This is about what a typical sunday is for me.

Sincerely,

J

Random Letter

Dearest Readers,

I am not really what to write today. It is yet another rainyday here on the bottom of the planet, and i guess i should try to do something semi-productive. i think i’ll try muscle my way through a few more pages of Finnegan’s Wake, then study a bit.

school has been going alright i guess. i didn’t do so hot on a portfolio review the other week, but i quickly fixed that and ended up with decent grade.

Got the chance to go do some climbing a while back, and didn’t even rain……yeah thats right NO adverse weather at all!

aside from school, photography and getting ready for my exposition has been keeping me busy.

i have an interview on local radio coming up and i am still not clear as to why they interviewing me. they just called me out of nowhere. i am now a little angry with the person who randomly gave out my cell number.

this is all i think i am gonna write.

sincerely,

Josh
