Since I treat this blog like a journal more so than anything remotely professional, I want to mention that I had another crazy dream recently. Two nights ago, I slept for only two hours and I dreamed that I was being stepped on for the first hour. Also, the people stepping on me were my family. I'd blame finals, but I think I'm just insane.

Here is the progress I've made on my Jafar painting. It's not a lot and I'm not very happy with it...Hopefully ignoring the other five classes I'm taking this semester to finish this painting will pay off in the end; in the form of a painting I'm proud of.

I don't have anything cool to show this week, but here's the super-short story of the thought-process behind my final painting:

I wanted to try using colored lights, so I bought a couple of colored plastic bags from Michael's and taped them on my desk lamp and boom. That's it.

These two were mine and Karla's favorites. In the end I went with the red one because I liked the color and the composition better.

(And I was wearing a strapless shirt, don't get all excited.)

I'll post these gestures for the sake of having something else to show, too, but figure drawing and I are not on good terms at the moment. We had a fight and haven't made up yet. I'm waiting for figure drawing to apologize first.

Good night.
