It should be Friday. I am too tired for it to be Thursday.

I am enjoying working on a new logo for Three Days Cafe though. I have also been commissioned to come up with a poster for Roomsound's next concert. Freelance work is picking up!

'Now and again...'
(Chainsaw roaring in the background),
But the conclusion to this thought
Is never quite formed, and
Therefore never becomes a complete sentence
Between the morning storm clouds that fill the head
And the interruptions of
A Tall Idea Guy,
Who doesn't have a clue what it is he wants.
Of course,
It was better to get up
Out of bed,
Than feign illness;
But this is illness, at least in some fashion.
A disturbance,
An irrational and fearful apathy bred
From lack of sleep and
Disorderly habits.
Coffee however
Has healing powers over
Body
And even consoles the spirit a little...

'Now and again. Feels small to be in the world. Tired. Now and again.
The sinner scans the horizons,
Looking everywhere
Restless;
Desirous of his Lord.

It has been nearly a month since I turned in the final project for my Color and Design class at Ventura College. I feel a little sad sometimes that I won't be going back there those sunny quiet evenings...but I am grateful for the free time now and the huge gas savings. Perhaps I will miss it mostly because I simply enjoyed being forced to sit down and draw and learn about design, instead of always feeling frustrated that I never develop my creative side. I'm not a very good self-starter sometimes, so it was really good for me. My last art piece for class is something a little different; multiple applications of masking tape and spray-paint on the inside of a disembodied Chevy truck window...the project dictated that it had to be a work based closely on an artist of our choice, including a brief written essay. While thumbing through a book on graffiti from around the world I discovered this extremely obscure French artist who calls himself HNT/Honet. I never did find out much about him, nor did I find many examples of his work, but the project was really a blast.
