I haven't updated this in a very long time. I know. Shame on me.

For those of you that don't know, I'm a third of the way done with my second year at SCAD. This past quarter I officially declared myself a Fibers major and could not be happier. Thus far, I love the program and the faculty. Fibers is so intriguing, and I've learn so many new skills from weaving to felting to repeat pattern techniques. I'm eager to take more classes within the department. Although I'm a Fibers major, I have not totally given up on Graphic Design. I plan to use my free electives to take Graphic Design classes, at least Typography and Web Design.

This account is a poor record of all the art I've done recently, and I will attempt to remedy this. I've got a whole year's worth of art to draw from and will be posting my favorite things up on here. Bear with me, though, as this will take some time.

Let's see...

My first year at SCAD has been going great thus far. Right now I'm in a quandary over my major. I just might forsake good ole Graphic Design for Fibers. Most of you probably don't know what Fibers is, but it is a very broad major that covers most anything that has to do with fabric and pattern. If I major in it, I'll go into the textile design category and design the patterns and such on fabric. Yea, it's pretty awesome.

This thing desperately needs an update. So, when I get a bit of elusive time, look for some new stuff from this past Winter Quarter and the current Spring Quarter.

With Fall quarter done and over with, I have 7 weeks of relaxation ahead of me. I figured I'd take the time to update you on SCAD and my works there. (oh and look for some new submissions, too)

Here's what I've learned:
- how to effectively use an exacto knife/utility knife, especially to cut out circles
- craftsmanship may cost you major points
- charcoal is my new favorite medium
- economy is the one design element that's really hard to describe
- it doesn't matter how much time you put into something, it's the quality that counts
- random photo shoots are great stress relievers
- "everything will be okay"
- anything considered weird or unusual can be attributed to the fact that I'm in art school

I am a SCAD student.

Since summer began, I told myself that I was going to update deviant art. However, I kept putting it off. Probably because I really didn't have much to submit. For a few days in Buffalo, I brought my camera with me everywhere. What resulted is posted. Maybe later today I'll take pictures of all the traditional art I did this past year, maybe I won't. We'll just have to see. It'll find its way on here eventually.
