I'm going to get the horse and pink paper lantern done tonight. That should take me until midnightish I think, and if I have any gumption left I'll see if I can get the freaky baby doll done too....this collage is neverending and it has to be done by next Tue!!!! *gibbers* I've been more or less working straight on the blasted thing since two o'clock this afternoon. And it's 9:35. I've already gotten to the point where standing on an easel and zooming around the room seems like a blast. I wonder what I'll be like come morning..... Have I mentioned yet that this collage is taking over my entire existence? Yes. Well. I dreamed about it last night. And the total amount of hours will be something like 50-60ish. That's just way too much time spent on something I'll never want to look at again. Oh paint, how I miss you!!! Skipped life-drawing today to work on silly collage and right now I should like nothing better than to put my foot through it and burn the pieces. When it's done I should take pictures so you longsuffering folk on my f-list can see what in the blazes I keep on moaning about.
I want some new icons and they're all on my computer at home.
Have I mentioned yet that I'm spending tonight at Calder?
Madness.

So it's midnightish and the horse is not done. Grrrrrr. Of course, if we hadn't taken a break and played MASH like giddy middle-schoolers I might have more done...but then the night would have been less memorable. By the by, I have 2 1/2 kids and am a costume designer and will live in a shack! And we just ordered pizza five minutes ago. And I wish the labs didn't close at 1am because then I could update every time I took a break and have an everlasting memorial to our collective insanity. I pity all the non-art major people. Such fun and companionship they're missing.....and I mean that in all seriousness. So maybe theater people have as much fun with each other, but honestly, art school builds great bonds with people. I never want to go through this again yet I never want these moments to end. Now. To pry myself of this incredibly comfortable chair and get to work!!!
