: I finish this school year in less than a month.

Please come late,
so that I have almost given you up
and have started glancing round the room,
thinking everyone is you.
Please don't come
until I have started missing you,
thinking I will never see you again,
praying you are lost.
Come too late for me not to notice.
Make me suffer,
wondering what you are doing
on the other side of town,
still in your dressing down.
make me beg for mercy
when you pick up a magazine.

Are you looking in your mirror,
suddenly remembering me?
I'm on my second coffee by now,
eating the little bits of sugar in my cup.
Haven't you even set out yet?
I decided I don't want to see you after all.
I don't really like you.
I'd rather be on my own.
I know it is all over between us,
but I go on sitting here,
reading a newspaper,
not understanding a word.
If you came in now, I wouldn't recognize you.
Don't come anywhere near me
until I have gone slightly made for love of you.

Assignment: Color, Meaning, & Culture

: This picture really doesn't help, but pretty self-explanatory.
I chose Japan for personal reasons.. hehhh

eh. it turned out alright, I guess..
a big 'not bad' to many, I'm sure. haha
I tried to apply the multiple angle compositions and repetition in shapes & color.
I wanted to do a more traditional style around the 1700's AD,
but then it would have less color & more ink;
making the whole piece look completely unfinished
so, I just kind of stylized it?

: A rushed project. wanted to spend more time on it for minor details.
still needs more work but due to two other midterms,
I only had wednesday & thursday to turn it in the next day.
got another project due wednesday, which I probably won't start on
'til the night before because of work on monday night. -_-;;

I told you. I've been busy. '=|



[edit]
: Had the critique last friday on this, too.
but feel free to give some constructive criticism. I'd really appreciate it.

ps. it's where I wanted to go with you..
