The Black Swan

I feel like I have so much I could blog about - the days are packed and go by so quickly! And there's always something going on.

This past weekend, I literally spent 44 out of 72 hours in the studio, working on finalizing my Baba Yaga Project for critique on Monday morning. Crit went really well in my opinion, I'll be posting the finished pieces soon!

For now, I have been sketching The Black Swan, 

for another poster for Computer Illustration class.

And on a completely separate note, 
1. My oven burns everything I put in it (even if I take 25 degrees off the recipe), including my lovely banana bread that I just made :(

2. I wonder, sometimes, if I will ever really trust anyone again. I know that sounds horribly emo, but it's been 4 years since I've had a "real", long-term relationship. I'm tired of guesswork. It's exhausting, and I feel like I've forgotten how to trust someone. Am I alone in this?

3. I picked the Black Swan, because sometimes I feel like her. On the outside, I feel like I seem quite put-together; however there is sometimes this "dark passenger" that comes out - out of all of us -  I am glad I can express it through art.
