booooring math classsss

this is what happens. i was drinking grape soda, and i burped so that is why the little headline doesn't make any sense. i had been looking at this door every week in math class saying i would draw it one day. so i finally did. i like it. the bricks on the outer wall don't look too schnazzy but what are you gonna do?

IF: wise.... YES WE DID!

I AM ECSTATIC. I AM SO HAPPY WITH OUR COUNTRY!

GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



nov. 7-

i thought i'd update a little since i'm posting this as my illustration friday entry (i think its very fittingfor the word 'wise')

this election was memorable and completely monumental, not only for the country but also for me. this being my first election (i turned 18 two years ago so last election was torture being too young to vote) i can't say enough how PROUD i am to have been included in this epic turn of history. being in brooklyn was probably everything i could have asked for. experiencing the eruption of happiness and success was first hand for me and god, was it beautiful.

my roommate and i were relying on updates being texted to me by a friend and my mom so we felt completely removed from what was going on, although we were very anticipatory. we were laying in our beds when at 11:00 we heard screaming and we listened and realized everyone was yelling "OBAMA!" so we went onto our front stoop and oh my god it was amazing. people just pouring out of their houses and yelling and cheering. we put some shoes on and walked through our neighborhood cheering and screaming with everyone. cars were honking people were hanging out of buses... i have never once walked down a street where every single person was beaming ear-to-ear.

i'm still in shock, pretty much. i get goosebumps all over when i remember that this change is coming and my doubts about this country are completely diminished.

the day after the glorious win, i was emailing with my dad and i said that i've never been able to say i'm proud to be an american without feeling corny and cliche, but hell, i am so proud to be an american under barack obama.

In front of everyone.

AU REVOIR

IF_sugary

I AM SEEING BECK TONIGHT. I AM SO VERY EXCITED

here's my IF entry:


quick and fast, i'm awfully busy, like usual so it's nothing spectacular!
but it sure makes me feel like i'd die for a cupcake

mount zion cemetery

so, like i mentioned in the last post, i wanted to go to mt. zion and i finally did. boy oh boy was it a hell of a long trek, but it was so amazing. i am not a spiritual person AT ALL but i couldn't help but be a little taken aback by the sheer beauty and sadness of this cemetery. i took a roll of film and i'll post those at some point but here are two digi photos i took. the lighting was absolutely GORGEOUS!

you can see the empire state building, cool, eh?

ugh the sky was just sooo fantastic.

IF_ packed

usually the subway is much more packed than this at rush hour...

the left side is just a doodle from math class. i prefer drawing to golden ratios.

and here's just another sketch from my book, andrea's tea bag looked so nice and was just begging for me to draw it..

has anyone driven over the Brooklyn Queens expressway and seen the enormous cemetery? well i've been dying to go over there and take some photographs, i finally found out what cemetery it was and i'll be taking a trek there sometime soon (hopefully!)

have a good week! happy october...
