Friday I'm in Love
Currently in the process of drawing Robert Smith, I think to myself of when Friday I’m in Love was released, and what number days the Fridays were on in that year.
Since I’m drawing him holding a bouquet of flowers, in front of a February calendar, I think it would be nice if Valentines Day was on a Friday on that calendar.
So I draw it that way. Then look up Wish.
Wish was released...

Trends Men Hate →
Of course, I happen to like almost all of the trends on this list. Well, no wonder, right?
Articles like these online and in magazines lead me to the belief that men “hate” almost every type of fashion on women. Which leads to the constant struggle of who to dress for, men, women, or yourself? I think the obvious answer is yourself, but to not get too crazy with all of it and just...
Spring Semester
9 AM class on my last spring semester at SVA.
The more I sat and thought about it today, while drawing, the more it felt like the fall was skipped over, and this semester just appeared.
It felt like January, but it also felt like spring. Feeling time leaking through, pulling you into the future yet also dragging you into the past. I felt the morning sunshine warmly in the room and thought back...
Iris Apfel →
I really enjoyed reading this article about Iris Apfel. I love hearing stories and getting advice from cool older ladies.

I’ve started drawing with crayons again.
I pulled out my giant crate of crayons last night and started doodling with them and testing all the colors. Rosearts and Crayolas and other brands I haven’t even heard of or remember.
It feels great to get back to youth somehow. Whoever said crayons are not an acceptable medium?

I noticed a flaw in you yesterday.
You ain’t everything you’ve made yourself out to be.
Wait, stop before you start.
Don’t let idle day-dreaming lead to sadness when real life suddenly comes back into focus.
It’s so easy to be self-destructive. No one’s ever gotten any praise for that. It’s so easy to excel in it, get ahead of yourself, and suddenly find yourself in a ditch you can’t quite climb out of.
Sure I could be, but don’t let myself be,...

Thundersnow and Halloween
Yesterday I was at a Halloween party, today I woke up in the dead of winter. Like somehow in my sleep months went by to the tempo of my dreams, dictating time in real time.
I kept getting up and going to the bathroom, taking a drink of water, and going back to sleep, completely comfortable, telling myself at least I did nothing dumb this time. I don’t regret doing anything and I don’t...
On the topic of friendship,
A friend once told me that it takes effort and work maintain one.
Until that moment, I never really thought of it that way. I thought it was just something that happened, fortuitously , and that it maintained itself effortlessly, because you were interested in the other person and they were interested in you and you had some sort of fun together.
But I guess it’s never that easy. I guess...
Cuffed Pants →
Refinery29 slideshow about the different styles of cuffed pants.
I’m such a sucker for when guys cuff/roll up their pants. Love seeing funky socks and ankles. It’s ridiculous how such a tiny detail can add to one’s level of attraction.

Keeping a steady pace of lieing to yourself is the key to motivating yourself to keep going.
To break an addiction. To give yourself extra strength to move on.
When I wanted to quit my job in retail one summer, I kept telling myself every week that I would quit the next day. I told myself that for 3 weeks straight and I think that’s the only thing that kept me going. Knowing that finally,...

Last year I remember going to The Whitney during orientation with a bunch of freshman. I remember one of the film girls who was a senior orientation leader said it’s stupid for her to go to The Whitney because she’s not a painter. I told her that it’s useful because a lot of times directors recreate famous paintings and their compositions in their movies. Or take inspiration from...
It’s weird and amazing what a movie can do to you.
I walked out of International film class yesterday shaking and for some reason my hands wouldn’t stay still, they kept twitching. I stuttered a bit when I talked and everything felt uneasy. It was strange but I liked the feeling. I still don’t understand how intensely a film can affect a person. It’s just moving pictures...

rooftop revelations
The more that I learn about life and about people and myself, the more that I learn that we’re all in the same boat. And we all think we’re riding on rockier waters. I know that sounds cliche as all hell but I feel like it’s the truth.
Everyone’s dealing with their own bullshit and somehow that bullshit becomes your own or is already the same as your own. And once you let...

Difference
Every year is different and sometimes that’s all you need to stay sane.
Sometimes it’s exactly the one thing you need to stay sane. To not wither into a present state of self-pity and loathing induced by the past.
My biggest fear is getting dragged into a lull where there is nothing to look forward to, no change on the horizon. I’m scared of that and I try to...
