damn. bitch needs to learn how to draw fast, yo.

in other news, this girl has totally stolen my heart:



what a fucking champ. go find her band camp page. it will not disappoint.

so for this project, we had a day (aaaaaaacctually, make that more like 6 & 3/4 hours) to come up with a series of ten images to illustrate a scale using Italian words that are normally reserved for marvelling at sun rises in the alps. yeeeaaahhh. i wasn't feeling too imaginative because the best i could come up with was italians getting super enthused about food. way to stereotype.

anyhoo, here are the first four. god damn. i need to work out a way of drawing quickly that doesn't look like total ass.

some people managed to do some truly amazing things in that brief window of time....

so last week we were doing these one day projects. dude. these were like, omgwtfbbq!?!?!?!? intense. the first one involved taking a line of text and illustrating it without ANY drawn elements. bwah? totally failed this one since the above offering was only done the next day (what little was done before the deadline will forever make me feel SSSHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMEEEEE).

it was pretty rad though. i kinda love cleaver typography but have never had the cojones to take it on. should make a point of trying this again...

p.s SPEAKING OF TYPOGRAPHY, last weekend one of the folks i was on with was part of an exhibition down off brick lane. DUDE, that thing was good. there was a crazy range of stuff, from illustration to photography to film to a printing press made by jenny which left the feeling that the world would be a much happier place if galleries were a wee bit more interactive.
