<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">i've been having a weird time trying to sleep lately. i swear, i can't actually drift off until after 3am. for the past few days, i've occupied myself with "quirky indie films" and sketching. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">and i mean, that's all well and good on days when i have late classes, but nowadays i try to wake up early to get over to the lab and work on assignments and animation and the like. and <i>now </i>it's even <i>more </i>important that i get things in on time because the workload is slowly but surely getting more intense... oh well. at least i'm not bored.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">it's been a slightly overwhelming week. things are gettin' weirdly professional over here. i've got a website on the burner: all i have to do is buy a proper domain name; something that for some reason, i'm putting off doing. i'm volunteering for actual events at my school, including our "industry night," which is a day when all of the professionals and alumni from Columbia return to the school to exchange information with students. and then on friday i went to a dance and shimmied the night away. also, a handsome boy gave me his number. HAH.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">and my work is getting noticed by teachers? joe said i had "potential." what? i do? and also <i>thurop van orman</i>. he said my sketches were "rad." my feet will never touch the ground again. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">but yeah, so, that's why i haven't been posting. but here's a few sketches i did between animating and running around.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">i'm working on drafting and inking my graphic novel page for this week, and it's so... difficult. i don't normally do really artsy things, i mean... well, last time i tried to create a real, ahem, "emotional" piece, i actually ended up freaking out before i could present it. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">anyway, this isn't an "emotional" project i'm working on right now. it's just an artistic represetation of what i do when i'm up late at night. and that's why it's titled "what i do when i'm awake at night." i always was a fan of self-explanatory titles. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">uhm, but, yeah. so, here's draft one. i was pretty late last night writing out what it is that i do and then sketching the things i'd written. it's gonna change completely by the time i finish, but like, you know. might as well post the first draft for like, idunno, posterity. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">yep. that's what i did last night. in honor of crushes and february-ness in general, i spent last night lovingly crafting this beautiful little blue watercolor rendering of what i look like when i see something wonderful. [like... cartoons, boys, french bulldogs, cute clothes, food, comic books...]</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">so, yeah! uhm, i'm happy with this. the little heart-guys were drawn on with pen, and i like the look a lot. i was considering watercoloring them in, but... you know. whatever. cartoon me would obviously still want to be surrounded by cartoony-looking things. </span></span><br />
