-filler-

sorry about the lack of posts these few days. this is my attempt to buy myself some time- putting up a drawing i did for my materials&techniques class. its a pencil and ink drawing of an enlarged sonia rykiel postcard. i promise more interesting updates are coming!
anyway, my weekend was spend working on 4 (FOUR!!!) papers that are due this week. but as of today, i only have 2 left. i already turned in a 10 page-paper this afternoon for film class. my art one is very close to done, just need to finish the model of a picasso sculpture. HOORAY!!
next? architecture. 1/5 done at this moment. haha but im working on it.
can't believe there is only one week of classes left.
and friday is labor day=LONG WEEKEND!
i will get my lazy self out there and hopefully cross some items on my "to go before may 18th list" out. till then, much love ;)

l'atelier de shimony

Jonathan Shimony is the professor of my art class- "materials and techniques of the masters"
His studio is in the suburb right outside, south, of the city. the location is considered very "FAR" if you ask any true parisians, afterall, its in zone 2 (AHHHH!!!). but in reality? its really only 10mins rer ride from st-michel notre-dame, which is bascially the heart of paris (and where i live, HA).
anyway, he's invited us to have classes in his studio instead of our regular "classroom", which is a room in the back of a church thats leased to aup. we are contracted to keep it pristine and clean so that makes it hard for us to really go crazy with the paint.
today was our last class at the studio and i went prepared. i brought my camera and asked to photograph the place. he agreed and said if i manage to sell any of his works, i can even get commission. so there, peeps- show some love.

student: is your wife french?
shimony: no, worse
(questioning stares from everyone)
shimony: she's parisian

SCENE

tag that

TAG at grand palais is a graffiti show. i went today after class with my friend annie.
each artist was given two canvases. one for their signature tag and another under the theme none other than: love.

to my surprise, the first piece i saw was done by a taiwanese artist

see that? represent.
