Life is a beautiful thing.

Our illustration class should live forever as it is now.

Illustration class is love.

Utterly Rediculous

Today=Wierdness

It's generally not considered responsible behavior to show up for class as it is ending becuase you forgot it was at 2 instead of 3.

This little screw-up in my brain got me thinking though...it's a train of thought I've been seriously considering lately, and it's not getting any easier. My big question is this, am I an artist who has a costuming hobby, or am I a costumer with a painting hobby. If I look at it from a process point of view, I would be forced to say I am first and foremost and artist. I much prefer the physical act of painting to any of the steps involved in the sewing/designing world. But the satisfaction of a finished costume is far greater than that of a finished painting. This came into my mind VERY strongly this afternoon, as I had been doing figure painting homework when I should have been in costume design (I thought I was on time for class, but...yeah. I wasn't.) And I love painting more than anything else...should I pour all my energies into becoming a great fine artist, or should I take a couple years away from that to pursue a graduate program in costume design. Would I be happy being away from art for a couple years. Is it even possible for me not to paint? I still have a couple years to figure this all out, but if having a career in the costume world means I won't be able to devote myself to painting I don't know if it would be worth it.
