about me

Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

dumbass quote

  • "I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps. And I believe that our education like, such as South Africa, and, the Iraq, everywhere like such as. And I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., or should help South Africa, and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children."

It is done!

November 4, 2004

Last Monday, my ceramics professor wanted to make a suggestion to me before I continued to work on my bust. She asked me to step back and take a look at what I did with the hair. The week before that, she wouldn’t let me work on the face until I put on ears and hair, so I obliged by slapping on slabs of clay. My intention was to finish the hair up later, but the slabs looked kinda cool just plopped on like they were. Apparently, she agreed because when she asked me to step away, she suggested that I consider leaving the hair just the way I had placed it. She’s been saying all along “sometimes distortions are kind of nice.” She liked the way my bust was turning out and said it looked a lot like a medieval boy. She said, “It’s not you now. Stop thinking of it as you, and work with your instinct.” So that’s what I did. This picture is from Monday after class.

It’s not quite the finished version, but I’m not sure you’d see the subtle changes I made yesterday in a photograph anyway.

The ears were a bit difficult. I’ve taken a shot of each of them and cropped it close in Photoshop so you can see. I’ve also flipped one of the ears over so you can compare them. Actually, I flipped it so I could compare them, but I figured that just maybe someone else might be interested in seeing them.


So that’s it. My prof asked me to move the thing to the kiln room so she could take a picture to show the department head. Yeah, I’m kinda proud.

    “She liked the way my bust was turning out and said it looked a lot like a medieval boy.” LOL…thats too funny… But seriously though, your bust turning out really great. It makes me want to take a ceramics class (or whatever one youre taking) and mold my head cuz it looks like so much fun. I would end this comment with “God bless” but it looks like he already has and with such great talent.

It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity, inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
