Proof of No Proof

I'm going to write something and not proofread it because I am going to bed in a few minutes. I'm breaking the laws of a professional blog. What would be even sillier is if this post turned out to be the most professionally grammatical and punctuated post out of all of my blog posts. I have a major project deadline on friday for my BFA class and I really hope that the content that I turn in is good enough for my portfolio because I learned a lot working on this project. Well there went the professionalness of this post because I can tell right now that the previous sentence I wrote is a fragment and I'm not going back to re-type it. Also one of the words in the previous sentence is not even a real word. Also, there is no comma after the "also" in the sentence before this one. Man this blog post just fell to pieces didn't it? I'm not sure who exactly I was asking that question to because right now in terms of where I am and what I'm doing I come off as talking to myself. In fact why do people feel the need to get their ideas out....oh wait I just answered my own question in my head. I would tell you the answer I came up with but I already finished typing this sentence that explains why I wont. Anyways goodnight myself I'll probably not touch you for a while again and ruin my grade for yet another class this semester :(


Post. Script. (I guess you don't need the periods if you're going to type the whole words out) There is no period at the end of this post period

Procrastination!


So tonight I couldn't focus.....I'm typing about how I can't focus and I'm supposed to be focusing on writing about other people's blogs...Oh well. I can't focus. I couldn't focus earlier so I went to penguin like an hour before they close to get some gelato (Penguin closes at 10:00 pm on weekends). Ha ha I typed that as if I was going to tell you they were closed but I actually did get some gelato. Man it's really weird that I'm being so honest with my posts in this blog (especially since I haven't been posting). I feel sorry for the person who writes about my blog...wait...maybe I'm sorry for myself because it would be really easy for someone to critique this blog. Hell I'll critique it right now. NOT ENOUGH POSTS. That might not be long enough to turn in. Oh well. Anyway. I was eating gelato and drawing people eating their gelato when I realized that gelato is DELICIOUS! I just finished my drawing when the girl at the counter said, "thanks for coming to penguin :)" which had a totally different subtext which I am not sure about typing in my class blog. So I left penguin so they could close or whatever and wandered around downtown San Jose looking for random bits of "story moments" to sketch for my BFA class assignment. Story moments are just drawing of people that indicate that something is happening instead of just drawing a static pose. Well a few things "happened" that I was privileged enough to capture. I was sitting in front of Jonny Rockets on a bench where there is a freight loading zone right in front. I got to see a homeless man wrestle with a garbage can then stare at it scoldingly. Then as I was drawing an old VW van stopped right in the freight loading zone. The driver rummaged in the back for a couple minutes then slid the back door open and flopped out the back of his van with a surf board in one hand and a leash hooked to a tiny black chihuahua in the other. Then the man just walked away...weird. I drew a picture of him and his little dog. All in all I think it was really interesting and silly, but it didn't write my blog critique for me. OH shoot!

The Amazing Journey

Today was an amazing day. I got to meet the famous James Gurney. He illustrated and wrote several amazing books and he is one of the few artists who uses a traditional illustration method where he paints all his reference from life in order to get the true colors that the eye perceives. He also does amazing amounts of research in order to make his ideas very believable. His visit sure inspired me. I wish I could have painted with him!
