PORTFOLIO DAY!

portfolio day wasnt that bad!! last year it was awful. i talked to 3 schools and got some good critiques. at first we were just looking for the shortest lines, and i was standing facing away from this one table, and the guy started talking to me. turns out it was SVA from new york. and i used to live in NY, so we talked about that for a bit. then he critiqued my work, and he turned out to be really cool. he gave me this huge book to look at. then i talked to this equally cool dude from MIAD. he gave me some good critiques as well. i guess i need some meaning to my work. i didnt really come prepared with anything to say, and wasnt ready to be interrogated, so i told them basically the truth, and that just wasnt gonna cut it for an art school. basically i learned that you shouldnt have to bullshit anything, it should have the meaning from the beginning, and thats what im lackin. so now i have something to work on! the lady from PNCA talked really quietly and i couldnt really hear most of what she was saying. plus she just got really mad that she couldnt see the thumbnails i brought. get some glasses. stop drinkin that hatorade
