rest of today

so i totally left after half of art history, i don't think i will do that again because i feel real bad bout it. ran back from columbus with mat, kathy, minky, and sam in apocalyptic lightning storm of the century. then took ong shower to warm up amd ate. then went to pun intended early because i was way too excited and nervous to wait around.
there were some good pieces tonight, not all good by any means, but not bad. francisco did this thing where he drew an ass on the back of jason(tha teach)'s t shirt in chocolate syrup with his nose, (brown noser) then he drew a tea bag in blue paint on a poster of princess aeah in jaba the hut slave attire( so hot) with his nut sack(blue balls, tea bagging). it was more shocking than funny but yeah.
then i showed my piece which i had kept secrete to everybody even jason, only close friends knew and no all of them either. i booked a small room to show in and on the door i put a sign that said:

if my parents are stupid enough to think this counts as an education than they deserve me wasting their money( that was crossed out but still readable)
i would rather spend all day preparing and making canvases only to waste them than make art

inside were four canvases of varying size and shape, one on each wall. the largest was three by four feet and the smallest was ab out one by one and a half feet. they were just blank gessoed canvases that i made the stretcher bars and stretched and gessoed and sanded by hand to make really nice painting surfaces. in tiny drafting pencil letters i wrote on the smallest one:

i like minimalism and typography

the second one and second smallest said:

its ust like the wall-less prison in thx1138 except that that probably had meaning

on the third and largest it just said:

white power

on the last one it said:

erased banksy drawing
(jason dunda hates banksy more than just about anything)

the crit went really well and i am very pleased that it is over with and my techers seemed to think i did good, then me and kirk and jenni went out to the pick me up diner and celebrated with a very late dinner, we got back at one thirty. i guess i up load the photos of the piece, they really dont do it justice but any way...
