31. Thanksgiving Cartoon

Culture Shock Level Check: I'm missing my SF friends at times, but I'm liking the isolation... I have to admit, having access to the art school makes it bearable. The school attracts some creative, driven people, and that's a nice contrast to the monoculture and maple syrup pace of the town. I've wanted to get away from the city for awhile now, so this is a welcoming pace. Living in the middle of everything hip and cool was invigorating for the first 37 years, but it was often a distraction from the focus of creating my own art. The intro to intaglio was a kick in the pants. I didn't create anything I'm exceedingly proud of, but that wasn't a big surprise, being that it was technically heavy. I'm looking forward to delving deeper into an independent study so I can focus less on technical aspects, and more on content... Last night i dug out my satirical print art books and was able to decifer the techniques made by my printmaking heroes Hogarth, Duemier, and Goya. "Sweet.", as the fellow students like to say.
