L A N I

I didn't mean to give you mushrooms, girl. ...
Nah, I totally did.

I’m excited for the OCAD grad show tomorrow. My class is going to go see it tomorrow afternoon and I love going to go look at art instead of doing school. :) I really want to just run up the stairs and skip the amateurish gross films and photography and go look at drawing and printmaking. I feel so much more connected to printmaking (and in awe of it) after taking it as a class this year.

  Also, I need to go to Curry’s to buy plates and paper for my final project. I want to get some really fancy Japanese paper to decorate the covers of the book I’m making. I feel bad because three of us are etching but we don’t have great facilities so screen printing is pretty much out of the question, and I’m the only one doing a handmade book.

I’m kind of obsessed with Dory Previn. “Beware of Young Girls” and “Lady With a Braid”….I just want to live in a 70s acoustic folk universe with denim jackets and hand-crocheted blankets and paisley wallpaper.

Drawing and watching Daria all morning while home alone, occasionally taking short breaks to view novelty videos of singing 2-year-olds on YouTube. This is my kind of life.

my basement gallery is white!

Okay, it doesn’t actually look like that…but still! It’s white all over, and empty, which automatically makes it an art gallery (with no art inside)! Olivia (http://blood-and-milk.tumblr.com) helped me paint it and now I have bruises and calluses all over my hands because painting with gigantic rollers hurts. 

   So excited to be planning a show. I still need to get people to contribute, and I need to either create a series or one big piece that will take up some space. Also, I’m trying to think of ways to hang unframed work that won’t put nail holes all over the walls.
