Here’s a collage that describes my character, Irri. He likes ice, hates spiders, lives in a magical gnome world, and is nice. I think I summarized everything well in this picture and description.
CW: dark images, possible blood, death I wrote about this song last week but didn’t go into detail about the video because I was focussing on the auditory feel of it. Luckily, I get too look at it now, so let’s go! selection There’s a lot happening on the screen but you can see … Continue reading Stills From: Will He
My knowledge of photography is very limited and sad. That being said, I do a lot of photography. I do a lot with film cameras and iphone cameras only, I avoid high-quality digital cameras on purpose because while I love how crisp and detailed they can be, I don’t want that. I do a lot … Continue reading Photography ~ I’m bad at it
The song I am examining is Joji’s Will He: found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2zXxQHBpd8 Pretty easily one of the most confusingly emotional songs I’ve come across in a while, Will He is very strange. It very obviously a sad song about a break up, but the chord progression is haunting. The video adds to the mystery of emotions in … Continue reading How Does a Song Make You Feel?
My largest fear is probably spiders. I know it’s a common fear, and I know they’re nothing to worry about, but it just surfaced recently and it’s terrible. I was on vacation in Ireland with my roommate and I was in bed and I felt what I thought was my hair moving on my arm … Continue reading Facing Your Fears
I decided to attempt the random wikipedia article writing challenge and my article is Nealcidion brachiale or, a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. This is the whole article. I will now tie it to my character. Irri was always afraid of bugs. When he was younger, he was stung by two wasps at the same time while … Continue reading Nealcidion brachiale
This is me working through the creation of a character. Going with our theme, and looking over the archetypes of mythical tales and such, I figured I would probably be a gnome. It’s not that I’m small and stout or anything, I just feel like my character should be a gnome; they’re nice and obnoxious. … Continue reading Irritated the Gnome
I just finished watching a mockumentary on the chupacabra on Animal Planet in the Lost Tapes series. It was interesting enough, I guess, but the storytelling in it was terrible. The show opens with a couple receiving a video camera for their nine year old daughters birthday and then they trust her with the camera … Continue reading El Chupacabra, what was that
Wow! I thought the work load last week was large, this upped it quite a bit. That’s not to say that I didn’t enjoy it though! I got to make a lot of things that I definitely wouldn’t have made otherwise. The daily challenges are very diverse and interesting and the assignment bank is a … Continue reading Week Two Reflection

I never got it to look … Continue reading Teeny Weeny Challenge
A little collage of some nice shots I have of some friends! I went through my old photos and picked the best candid/slightly embarrassing photos I could find and put them together in photoshop to make this collage. It was a little time consuming getting everything to the same size but it turned out …
Here is a friend Up on a mountain How did she get up there? Why is she so tall? Help Another photoshop thing for mixed prompt, I enjoyed making this. I hadn’t keyed out the background of an image in a while and enjoyed making little details like her feet going through the …
You’re trying to do your homework when your brother’s band starts playing in the garage again. You can’t count how many times you’ve heard this song in a row. Your brother’s friend Cameron’s voice is just so grating this many listens in a row. Your mom calls you to help do the dishes but you …
I have some cute pug figurines and they make for a great double picture!

I enjoyed the assignments of the first week. I did them all in a short period of time because I added the class late but I’m very excited for where this class will go. I worked with a new editing plugin I got for the soundcloud introduction and I made a few pieces of art …
I think the statement that every story is the same is, at base value, true, but that’s ignoring the complexities of individual stories. Every example I try to think of does fall into the hero’s journey shown in the video, but I think that’s just because it’s such a simple thing that everything has to …
