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."

Jacob: "I need to operate on my frog, but first he needs some amnesia."
We’ve had four sessions with nude models in my drawing class, and now that we’re moving on to something else, I’m sorry to see it end. I’ve been studying the human form in all four of my classes in one way or another, and it’s changed the way I think of it. I find that I’m able to appreciate the human form better than I ever thought possible. Every curve, every crease, and every little thing that I used to find unappealing has suddenly become beautiful. I’m positively mesmerized by the way light changes when it touches flesh.
I see myself continuing the study of the human form and incorporating it into my art.
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.
