It really was close to being doomed as one of the paintings I leave half-finished because it takes too damn long. And then I lose interest and feel guilty and blahblahblahwhocares. But I had a portfolio review coming and I panicked at not having much recent stuff that I felt was portfolio-quality. So I ended up spending an entire night doing nothing but painting and painting until my hand hurt and my ass hurt and my stomach hurt and my eyes felt like they were bleeding and then it was suddenly 11AM!!! And I rushed to get it to the printmaking lab before class started and woosh. I really push things to the end of the line. I hate not sleeping, and my schedule is still really messed up these 3 days later. BLARGH.
Anyways my review went really well! And I got a free critique on it from the professor and it was really nice to get one where someone actually pointed out things that I hadn't thought about, even though it is all really too late to fix now AUGH. He made me feel pretty silly for adding the text though, he could tell that I slapped it on there at the last minute. Damn I'd hoped I would've gotten away with it hahaha. >__> ;
Anyways I'm REALLY happy with it, so I might try and get a number of prints made for selling. Yay!
Also thanks goes out to *hamdiggy, EJ, and Matt for their help and suggestions while I was scrambling to finish. Especially thanks to Matt who just so happened to stay up all night with me to keep me company, but also so I could send him episodes of The Venture Brothers. XP
=x
Excellent stuff, man.
cheers
