who needs sleep? well, you’re never gonna get it.

In these difficult times, I turn to the Barenaked Ladies for comfort.

(shush, you nonbelievers)

I think I’m averaging around 6 or 7 hours sleep this week… not per night, but total, since Sunday. uuurgh. Midterms, I will be glad when you are over. I’m flying back Eastwards (well… more eastwards) tomorrow afternoon. In the meantime, the only thing I really have to do (other than laundry & pack) is finish up a 3d scan of a raccoon skull in rhino and rush it off to the printer. I would have had it done this morning, but I crashed around 5 am… a side effect of my “sleep when i’m dead” mentality I tend to pick up around midterms, finals, and deadlines. Everything but the nose cavity and a cheekbone is done… I’m going to try to power through it in between classes. wish me luck, internet.

In other news, here are some Work in Progress/Detail shots of a piece I did last night for an art trade my advanced drawing course is doing with a class in London. My partner sent me a blue leg, so I…. made bat tattoos for it. Naturally. This is shipping out with Clayton Merrel later this week, so I’ll make sure to get some decent scans of it beforehand. I’m working on frosted Mylar, with pen on the front and marker on the back- it’s meant to overlay on top of the original drawing, so hopefully the size at least kind of lines up.

(the toes are my favorite part.)
