OH! While i'm at it





These are pictures of a trip i took to a really secluded little known beach in Norwalk with my friends whose parents live in the area. The water is pretty clean, there's practically nobody there most days, the air is very clear being away from the city, and they have the best clam chowder bread bowl i've ever tasted. If you're ever in norwalk I recommend you stop by the beach and order some clam chowder to eat and take in the view.

The sand sculpting i did was a pitiful attempt to build an impression of one of my recent sketches in the sand, but the tide was coming in so fast I had to stop so I could at least get some pictures of the fun.

The art of imagining you're somewhere else...













These are some sketches I did while waiting in this nasty room to get some paperwork signed from the county. You know the rooms i'm talking about. Old un-renovated public building made mostly of concrete with old dirty plastic seats inside, dirty walls, etc. There were about 30 people packed in the small waiting room and wouldn't you know even with my carefulness and my hand sanitizer in my pocket, I couldn't prevent from getting a cold.

When people around you are coughing and sneezing into the air it doesn't matter how clean you are. But anyway while i was in that pit of disgust i did these. Forgive the rant, but i'm very much a germaphobe and have been one my whole life. I can't stand when people spread their germs with complete disreguard for others.


Anyway these may go somewhere fun. I thought about making a sculpture of the starjack. My b-day is in less than 2 months and if i could have anything i would ask for a copy of Maya, but since that's far too expensive i'm going to have to hope for a ps3. I wanted to model the star in 3D and add a particle system. I'll have to use some other person's until then. The others i'll probably just paint, but an architectural model of the resort might be fun.
