Present Joys

Apart from the desire to produce beautiful things, the leading passion of my life has been and is hatred of modern civilization.

Old photos of Fair Isle sweaters, taken from the Shetland Museum.

Trying to adequately express disgust for bad (imaginary) yogurt. IT’S FOR PHOTO REFERENCE, guys.

Some doodles of people and things in my Graphic Novel Lit class.

Also, I got coffee at Cafe Brioso and saw John Malta. I kept seeing that dude all weekend. He came to our school and talked a bit about the work he’s doing. He was berated a few times by a couple CCAD professors, urging him to change his style. He never did, he just kept working hard, and now he works for the New York Times and Vice magazine. Awesome.

Also, yes. That is Nigel.

Dorian was sketching me and I had no idea he was doing it! I think the adequately emphasized the pointiness of my chin. Also: the drawing directly below mine is of our Graphic Novel Lit teacher and it is an uncannily good depiction.

I find it impossible to use anyone as a sounding board without them making suggestions—which destroys the work. So I never ask for opinions.
