This week, I introduced a new artistic medium and harkened back to the old as well. Below, you’ll find examples of my coding efforts, my writing, drawing in two ways, and my severe need to move my hands while watching TV. Enjoy! List of posts: (click to jump!) Go to Thursday’s post on the About […]
I’m back! Taking a week away has cleared my head a bit and allowed me to do some much-needed research and have some much-needed life experiences. Awesome posts to come, but let’s begin with a story for now: last week, I went hiking at Wallace Falls, so today I present you with a few photographs […]
The Safe and Sexy Photography Project is a website that features women in two outfits: their “sexiest” and their “safest,” as chosen by the participants. The website also features captions that have the stories of why these women chose their outfits – I think it’s really interesting to look at them first without reading and […]
Alright, we’re back on track. This post is all about the concept art that will go into the final collage edits – I chose to work it out in Photoshop beforehand rather than draw and erase over and over (I’m much better at vectoring than using hand-eye coordination!).

Well, I’m here to tell you it’s all in your head (as does this blog, this blog, and even this blog).As point-and-shoot cameras are becoming more and more sophisticated, they can be used in a […]
Victory in the face of finals!I have completed the knit headband (one of my two secret projects, in case you were keeping score), and it’s glory is featured above!Having other projects like that one really keeps me sane in the face of other more overwhelming tasks, like art projects and essays. I am occasionally asked […]
Something that I have to remind myself of every day I take off: the meaning of relaxation is to not to think about its end. This vacation has been about that principle in a lot of ways – staying in the present and enjoying the minutes, forgetting (or at least being ok with the idea […]
(This is my New York) New York is a 5 dogs in the morning city. There is an occasional cat and maybe a rat running around in the subway. Pigeons are my mortal enemy and should be avoided. New York is a city where pedestrians can attack cars right back. As I passed by, a […]
