Piano Man

Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feelin' alright

Tuesday morning my grandfather passed away. He was a brilliant pianist and a brilliant mind. He will be sorely missed but never forgotten.

He'd been struggling for the past year with dwindling health and Tuesday morning his living will was put into action. I'll never forget all the lectures on life I got from this man and for as much as I resented it at the time, they were life lessons I'll never forget and there isn't anything I wouldn't give to be lectured one last time.

If I get back to normal anytime soon, expect some art in his memory.

Huzzah!

Many things are a-happen'en people.

First off, got the RA job.  I really didn't except that.  I didn't get the job initially when I applied for it and I had forget to put in the sheet of paper to put me on the waiting list for it (should one of the RA's quit mid-quarter).  Well, apparently I made a good enough impression that even without turning in the wait-list paper, I STILL got called to get the job.  And now I have it.  I'll have a room to myself in the main building.  A paying job,  I'M SO FREAKIN EXCITED.

Did another marker demo for the layout classes.  I have the same teacher this quarter (for Art for Reproduction) that I had my first quarter (for Layout) and she wanted to know if I could do the demo again.  So I did, and apparently it really helped the class I did it for (so says the teacher).

Also, had Typography class and had to make business cards for myself.  So I did.  and here is the final one that I chose and printed up.

Photobucket
I made the little logo myself which if you can't tell, is an L and an M (my initials). But it's made to look like a paintbrush painting an M.
I like it.
I got an A I think.
I SHOULD get an A.
