"Although there are a lot of bad things as well, there are a lot of good things in the world."
Yesterday, I ended up spilling Acetone (Nail Polish Remover) over my Beowulf Children's Book project, and had a near break down. Three beers in, feeling pressured as it was currently 2 weeks + late. I had to work in the morning, I hadn't had enough sleep, laundry is piled atop my bed. I am sleeping on the floor (which I don't mind, but the blankets are dirty). My room is dirty. In my book, not only do I have countless smudge marks, and bleed outs and blobs, but now I have this giant acetone mark. It keeps on looking shittier and shittier the more I touch it.
It seemed.
I decided that I didn't need to put it into a hardback cover to hand it in. That counts in one more night, which is actually one more week because it's night school. So I just handed it in, I finished 6 illustration pages today. Four of them I really do like, the others I am 'meh' for. Leaving to go to school, I ended up nudging the ink bottle, which in turn made a giant splash ON TO MY BLUE WALL! Fuck. So I guess I'll acetone that sometime. I don't think the longer it stays in it stains... hopefully not at least. Hmm.
I guess twice a week I'll commit 3 hours to searching and sending emails out for apartments and whatnot. It doesn't matter which days, just as long as they're there. I'll book them in now.
Although the book was late and tired looking, it was still pretty amazing. More than what any other kid in the class did at least; in the subjective eye of the marking teacher - makes a difference for me.
"Kim, did you draw these?" Zeni asked.
"Yeah, but some are from the internet. Like when he's fighting Grendel's mom." I don't think she heard the last bit, or cared. But I did find some of the images on the internet. I would feel unrighteous saying "Yep, those came straight outta ma mind!" However, I'm glad I've handed it in. Now it is time to work on one of our last projects, it's a group one, so I must be adherent of our time dates. (I'm writing a blog instead of drawing up some things, hah) But change doesn't happen over night!
I'll put the backing onto the book later, and add in the remaining bits of gold detail - then give it to Jess & Jeff & Jayson. Even though Jayson can't even sit up without help, I know he'll appreciate it with his aquarius mind.
Now to apartment search!
