breaking away from sparkles and unicorns to bring something for the boys

ted talks

watching things on screens, and drawing some of the people in the things I'm watching to validate the time spent. practicing doing this without hitting the pause button (TEMPTRESS).
I watch a lot of TED talks. I think it's probably because they're AMAZING!!!

hell yes. have some becks.

new leaf

school's over and that's really wicked.

I've got a huge list of goals for this summer. lots work, lots of places to get myself to before I hit fourth year. things to explore, plateaus, breakthroughs, stuff to rule out. I got some good advice in my final crits, the last and most valuable bit I think to just DO ART a LOT and take a break from being all about doing it for everyone else. I've been good and receptive and kept my ears wide open since I started college, and learned more than ever! unfortunately though, you can only listen to everyone else's opinion for so long before you lose your direction. so focus, kate, and center!

I want to be more open and share more of my stuff. this blog has held a ridiculous kind of preciousness (like a really fancy sketchbook you can't bring yourself to touch) where I've been afraid to post a lot of things... things like this kind of blabbering on, or just sketches and doodles. fuck that noyes!

let's kick it off now: here's a throwback to sort of how I used to draw in highschool (i.e. colerase pencil, I found one in my drawer and thought I'd give er a go)

business card

so you know where to send your money.

coffee 'sleeve'

why did I never post this??
it's supposed to be a sleeve-thing that goes around a cuppa jo. the thing that keeps your hand from getting too hot!

fun fact: I'm getting a tattoo of the same bird today!! not this picture, but, something that looks a lot like this picture.

he's back

finally got this sucker back.
I say sucker because a lot of it sucked and that's why I cropped the hell out of it.
he's mad because he can't have everything he wants.
grow up man.
