Ben has inspired to me to write about classes. I might write about all of them in the future, but right now I want to talk about my big class: ILLUSTRATION THREEEE(threethreethree)

long story short, we were supposed to have Mr. Awesome Illustration Teacher who everybody raves about but I have never had. However, Mr. AIT has been bumped up to Design Department Chair Head, which is awesome because it means Illustration will rule the school, BUT consequently he isn’t teaching our class anymore. Enter Mrs. Student Quality. Mrs. SQ, I really hate to say it, is about just as good as our class, maybe even worse then a few of the superstars. Granted she is older and more experienced in the illustration world, but I mean… it’s worrying. However, class has not been horrendous and I am not totally upset – yet.

What I am a little bit upset about is that I decided to use acrylic for my first final illustration. I have not used acrylic ALL SUMMER and it’s scaring the bejesus out of me right now, especially with Bill “The Fancypants” Ferenc sitting right next to me. I like the piece fine right now, but something’s bound to go wrong soon. It’s sitting in my studio right now, I kind of hope it doesn’t get vandalized.

Which brings us to the drawing at the top of this post. Hello, it is a watecolor piece from the summer that I did using Joelie’s kinda poopy watercolors (I bet you didn’t even know I used them, joel!). It is calling me back. Winsor and Newton are both crying my name over and over in my sleep. Next illustration I am SO doing watercolor.

Also I have come up with a FANTASTIC project proposal for whenever I decide to apply for the Ireland program. More on that later.
