Bloggy Blog

Sitting in the airport right now waiting to get on a plane back to Boston after CTNx  2017 - I have to start writing this now, even though I'm dead tired, because I know that as soon as I get back to MIT I'll get swept up in that life again, and I need to record everything I've absorbed in LA this weekend before that happens. Photos first! Sonya!!!  I MET -  PAUL FELIX - MY HERO HKJFA;DFLSKJG and I got his signature:  I shook his hand - my hand was so sweaty - and HOLY SHIT WOW. WOW . At the talk his friend Paul showed a lot of his newer works - the works he has online are all pencil drawings form older Disney movies. He moved to color and digital a while ago and wowowowow the newer work was so amazing too.  Most interesting talks I went to:  The Illustrated Film Poster with Tomer Hanuka --  Tomer Hanuka is this amazing illustrator that does work for all the big magazines like New Yorker, Nat Geo,

Had a moment just now where I found a second hand copy of a post a close friend wrote last semester that I never saw, or maybe saw and didn't register, and realized that for the last 2 years, I have been so wrapped up in my problems and another person that I have missed out on so much in my friends' lives. In all of last year, I stopped bothering to actively keep up with their lives, and didn't spend time on people who were right here and now are gone. It isn't very useful to regret this, but I only felt just now the magnitude of things I've missed.

I realized just now that I type down a lot of things in the notes app on my phone that I never look at again. This phenomenon also happens with photos I take on my phone, instagram bookmarks, and facebook saves. I've occasionally thought about starting a non-art blog but never really could come up with an idea for the content. So I'm finally doing it! Might still put art here though. Might also just turn into a diary. Will probably keep this private for the time being. -edit- jk made it public, otherwise it probably would have turned rather incoherent
