Quick Update

Wed Feb 25, 2009, 8:24 AM
  • Mood: Hysterical
  • Listening to: A. R. Rahman - Ringa Ringa
  • Reading: Good Omens
Ok, just felt like giving a quick update. Not that anyone asked for one, but I shall be an attention whore nonetheless!

I'm about to run headfirst into the meaty part of the semester, which so far it hasn't been that bad. I've just been running around hysterically over my portfolio. After watching five semesters of my peers wait till the last minute to pull their portfolios together, watching the brain-shattering stress it creates, I promised myself I would not let that happen to me.

As such, I've spent the last three and a half weeks reworking and reworking past artwork to make it better and more presentable. I've also been spending a lot of time on the phone with my dad, getting his opinions on things. Those conversations tend to go like this:

Me: "Dad I reworked one of my logos."
Dad: "OH THAT'S AWESOME!"
Me: "...That's the old logo."
Dad: "You're shitting me."
Me: "Yes, the other ones are the new ones."
Dad: "Oh these look like crap"
Me: "Alrighty then."

I've stopped listening to my dad.

So yea, Spring Break is coming up and I hope to have everything ready for print by then. Late March to mid April at the most. And then, hopefully I can go back to my own art and be more active online.

Yeah, old people tend to do that to you, especially your own family. My dad makes really weird comments during movies. I've stopped watching movies with my family for a while now.

But you can't blame them, It's like their job from the day you were born. Not their fault if they're really good at it.

You know, while I feel like this is a really bad idea, I feel even more that I just don't care, and that watching all of this unfold might be kinda interesting. Go for it.

It's good that you're taking the initiative and keeping yourself from stressing out later. Stress is not good for anyone. :D

I wouldn't trust the opinion of a father or mother on stuff like artwork. You would get a higher chance of honest from some friends, I think.

You know, if you need an extra opinion I'd be willing to help you out next time I see you on IM. Don't know how helpful I'd be as graphic design isn't my strong point, but hey- fresh set of eyes.

Excellent; good on you for getting a jump on the semester load. :D

Heh, from what you've told me about your dad, it sounds like something of a normal reaction. ^^; Perhaps he should give you reasons behind his opinions to help you better.

Good luck lady, and hang in there!

"Will they help us?"

"No."

xD Wish my parents got that excited over something I drew, even if it were old. Most I get is, "Cool" or "That's weird" or my mom just laughs and makes fun of the picture. >_>;

Screw normal; if you're normal, the crowd will accept you, but if you're deranged... The crowd will make you their leader.
