If you aren’t familiar with Post Secret, well, where have you been?! The original blog is a gallery of anonymously mailed postcards that reveal a secret. I’ve loved this idea for years, even sent in a few myself. Anonymous art and mail art are just fascinating to me, and if you’re at all interested in things like this, definitely check out the lecture on Thursday night. I’ll be there, you can sit next to me

Cheers,

(P.S. New York in 9 days! Wooo!)

I had the screen test for the ODU film/marketing thing today. Kinda fun. I was still putting together the presentation I have to do in art crit tonight so I can’t even recall their slogan… Minds in motion? Monarch mentality? Some M & M phrase….mmm m&ms…..

While I demolish these Pepperidge Farm white chocolate macadamia cookies, enjoy some new pics:

My backpack (and my little Toro buddy!) and one of those recycled totebags I got from the Monarch Market (Webb) for 98 cents.

Underpainting for still life #5, the self portrait. I got a lot done on it today but I didn’t want to ruin the fun, so I’ll get a pic of it 60% done and finished tomorrow. The reference pic I’m using is on my Flickr, and I taped it on my easel right above the canvas. Maaaaac :3

It’s me!

Back to chilling here on this window bench thing and eating cookies. Nom nom nom…

A few of the many on ODU’s campus:

“Artipotimus” on a shutter in the painting studio at the VAB.

“Dog in a sink! Wow!” next to “Artipotimus” on a shutter in the painting studio in VAB.

“You just lost the game” on a bench in the womens upstairs north bathroom at Webb.

After COMM 200S (with delightfully entertaining professor Carla Harrell) this morning, I went down to the Panera in Ghent and snagged an Asiago bagel (untoasted–I was told the toaster was goofing off and might set my bagel on fire), and a mozzmato salad. For an hour or so, I’ve been in Webb center central (where the campus lolinformation center is). Now, I had a great seat in the corner where it’s dark and quiet, but none of the outlets worked in the cubicle thingy. I’m at a table by the windows now…and inconveniently, next to the air vent. I wear pants on Tuesdays and Thursdays, because I’m here literally from 9:30am til 9:00pm, and my final class in Diehn is…nippy to say the least. The weather is hot and muggy outside, but I’ve only been next to this vent an hour, and my fingernails are blue! I’m ACTUALLY considering going and buying a hoodie from the bookstore. (Of course by the time I get there, I’ll be sweltering from the nasty humidity and end up buying some ice cream instead…)

ODU, you can’t hide your shameless promotional item promotions from me!

P.S. I didn’t eat my red onions in my salad. Who wants ‘em?
