boe joblick

can i just say that i'm in love with my drawing teacher? by that i don't mean i want to marry him or anything... i'm just fully in love with the fact that this man is my drawing teacher. i think it's a perfect role.

friday i wasn't feeling too great when i got to class. he asked how i was, i told him, "kinda sick." after our critique we were setting up to draw the model, and my teacher (code name = boe joblick. real name = obvious) came over to tell me that he appreciated that i stuck around. "you know, sometimes some of your best drawings are done when you aren't feeling the greatest. it sorta like how right before people have seizures, they have epiphanies. does that make sense?" if you say so, boe.

my favorite thing he's ever said is this, and it sums him up real nice:
"i like your use of line and hatching right here. it reminds me of when i go fishing, sometimes i like to take my shoes off and wade into the water, and i never really know where i'm stepping. one time i stepped on a fish. does that make sense?"

the "does that make sense?" gets me every time. because he usually doesn't./

so i'm home for the night. i left milwaukee probably around 4 pm and i'll be heading back in just about five hours now.

in the short time i've been home, i have:
done my laundry at the laundrymat
macked on some italian house
watched aida (my sister was in it!)
gone to a party
macked on some perkins
stained a billion pieces of wood for space forms (kyra helped)
dyed my hair (dark)
made paper
made a shirt

also, i called ben.. for no reason really. we had hardly really talked since the breaking, but maybe we'll be bros now?



remember him?
