Life {I'm No Van Gogh}


But I certainly keep trying. My current assignment for class is a charcoal self--portrait. Have you ever been forced to stare at a picture of your own face for what feel like forever? I mean seriously, I had no idea that I have a freckle on my neck until after I started this assignment.

It's 11 o' clock and I promised myself that I would finish this assignment tonight. Bah. No wonder Van Gogh cut off his own ear--it was totally a deadline issue.

I'm not even allowed to use my blending stumps. This is the first time I've gotten a third of a charcoal project done without getting it on my face. No, seriously....no charcoal. Yet.

Me and this kid--we could totally be best buddies.

(Although, as I was leaving art class a few weeks ago, a cute guy pointed out to me that I had pencil on my face. Honestly, that's the only time that guys ever notice me!)

dude-- if i were you i would put a smudge on my face every day to see if people notice. it would be a funny social experiment... and a conversation starter! i wonder how many people would talk to you and not say anything... oh the possibilities.
