spring break

... and i'm spending it being absolutely useless.

don't get me wrong, it's lovely not to feel guilty about not being at the lab from 8-10, but i also... miss the city. 
i haven't been a complete lump all break, though. i've gotten my stop-motion puppet's body completely built and felted: 

 ...sketching and painting like a madman:

experimenting with india ink:

and saw The Hunger Games three times. i am in love with peeta mellark. 

don't judge me.

oh god, it hurts

i am constitutionally incapable of having a nice relationship with a young man.
 
but apparently i am pretty good at getting teachers and recruiters to like me, so i guess that's a good thing since i'd rather have a job than a boyfriend... bahahaha

oh well.

here's a painting i did.
it's watercolor, of course.

"why does everything have to suck?"

lots of things

my life is... exploding a bit right now. lots of things are happening and... and changing. ugh. 
i'll be pretty pleased when spring break rolls around-[i'll finally get a much-needed haircut.]

i  have managed to get a lot of work done, so... here's what i've been occupying myself with!

i'm having a drama of the heart, and it is literally affecting my stomach. so... it inspired me to make this.

also, next week my stop-motion class begins pre-production on our final projects. i'm teaming up with my friend conor-here is the sort of work that we do when we're together:

 beautiful, no?

keep calm and kill zombies, guys
