I dreamed of Danny Trejo...

In Photoshop class, that is, I made this impressionist type thing of Machete himself!
I pretty much bombed my exam, but my teacher said that the projects I was turning in count more than the exam and I'm doing well on those. It's because I get to use my notes on  my projects!! Otherwise, I can't remember how to do shit in Photoshop.
The exam basically consisted of me staring at my screen for 20 minutes just shaking my head and saying under my breath "I have no fucking idea what he's talking about here." - then turning in blank digital copies.
Have I mentioned how much I HATE PHOTOSHOP!!!




Now on to more pleasant news: a few weeks ago my friend, Corina, who still lives in Amarillo called me up and told me about a scrapbook retreat at a woman's house in Ft. Worth who we both know. Well, since work has been slow and I wasn't scheduled on Saturday, I said, "Hell yeah!"
Off to Ft. Worth I went, about a 45 minute drive...unless you get lost, like I did.
I finally found my way to the house after going the wrong way twice.
I really needed a break from being in my apartment and thinking about school (read Photoshop class) and I was glad to see some women I haven't seen in a while. I realized I do miss my friend Corina, so hopefully over spring break I can drive up to Amarillo and stay a few days.

For now I got to concentrate on my Package Design Class and my next Art History project. So stay tuned to see how those are turning out!

Oh, before I forget, for my Package Design class, I did chose to go with the sewing supplies. I'm packaging starter kits in pizza slice shaped boxes with a cool denim art piece and I'm labeling some repair kits by upcycling a cassette tape case! I will post pictures when I get my mock ups done.

Also, for those of you unaware, I have a small trouble maker in my apartment I call Stormtrooper Fred. I have taken pictures of him wreaking havoc wherever he goes on my Pinterest page, so check it out!
