This is the time of year where the sunlight has finally and completely broken out of winter’s thin eggshell.
The photos turning up in my contacts list on Flickr have been glowing recently. Some of my favorites (which can click to follow to the photographers’ accounts):
Current musical obsession: St.Vincent’s album “Actor”. It has gotten into my brain something fierce. It’s elegant and a bit creepy and full of interesting sounds and strange hooks.
I especially adore the video for the album’s single, Actor Out of Work:
St.Vincent – aka Annie Clark – is also a very distinctive-looking lady.
So I made an artist portrait. New Yorker arts pages, here I come. (Click for full-size.)
Some very (very) casual/crappy development sketches for a potential project set during WWII. The girl is way too timid-looking! But it was a lot of fun to draw some Rosie the Riveter-type ladies.
I feel like I have about six different irons in the fire right now, and I have no idea which ones are the most important to attend to (after getting books mailed out, that is). I’m not used to this stuff being My Actual Work – no matter what I pick to settle down and fiddle with, my brain keeps telling me “YOU SHOULD BE DOING REAL WORK RIGHT NOW!”
I figure I’ll get over it soon enough, but boy, is it ever disorienting.
