art geeks

so now that i have school again, i've once more become the dork with the sketchbook attached to my hand/back. that is... i bring those damn things everywhere with me and i'm working all the time when i get a chance.

oh... that movie is subtitled? that's nice. i'll just have no clue by the time it's done.

let me be rude as i draw on the table while we wait for food (this is reserved for fellow art geeks only).

the past couple days i've had a fabulous time dorking out with other art students. thursday morning when we found out that class was cancelled due to teacher being sick (dude, the guy emailed at 230 in the morning. he's such a workaholic. :)) we all hung out in front of the art building looking at each other's sketchbooks and talking about classes, about artists, about methods, etc and we moved that to a cafe until the horrendous & cycling music videos chased us out. by the time we were done, we were all wanting to go home and draw.

friday night... more art geekiness, talking about class, talking about different artists and drawing while waiting for the food to come. it was great.

and then i realized... i enjoy art geekiness more than listening to computer geekiness (hci geekiness from thursday night) and game geekiness. i don't think i was ever a premed geek (about classes, schools, programs, etc) but i was a medicine geek (i loved pharmacology, physiology, etc) though not a bio geek. so it's probably good that i'm in art right now. and it's nice to know that everyone has a little geekiness in them, it's just a matter of in what.

so... cultivate your inner geek and walk down that path. :)

now... at some point in the next year when i have some free time (i laugh at this hopeless dream) i would like some help putting together a website for my work. the blog is great, but i really think i should have something showcasing my stuff. don't have a whole lot yet, but i should at least have my past drawings on display. this will require taking pictures of those things. and whatnot.

i was inspired by a classmate, jamaica. apparently, she's already getting published in comics and stuff. it's really cool.
