Everything about being home for this long is weird. It's only been about a week and I can already say this summer is just going to be an odd one. It's great seeing some old friends but when it comes down to the nitty-gritty, the only people that I want to be with live like a minimum of 4 hours away. Max about 9.
Well as any college kid home for the summer knows: what is the first thing your mom nags you to do? GET A JOB. So as of right now, I'm on the hunt. My life has dwindled down from parties and friends always in the next room to laying in my quiet ass bedroom alone (listening to the goldfish that managed to stay alive while I was gone) in search for jobs on craigslist. Craigslist? Yah, that desperate- emailing complete strangers to tell them I am, in fact, qualified to design their next tattoo.
And this is the point where I'm going to plug myself to all of my imaginary readers. I'm a painter, I paint portraits. If you want one, please dear Jesus let me know. I mean, it'll cost money. But see it as getting a free painting and donating to a poor art student fund. If that aids in some decision making at all. I'll post some photos here of some portraits I've done in the past. The fact that I've now been a painting major for a solid year only means I've gotten better. You'll have to take my word for it- it's all about trust. But I'm better.
These are only a couple portraits out of my growing collection. But my pocketbook is begging for some more commissions. I'll attempt to write again if anything interesting ever decides to happen this summer, haha.
