New SModcast tattoo! I got it at the Best in the Midwest tattoo convention yesterday. My artist was Ryan Thomas of Black 13 Tattoo in Nashville, TN. I love it!

I made a time-lapse drawing video!
( Veeedeeeooooo )

My fucking 50mm lens busted today and I'm so sad :( It was my favorite lens. They're only $100ish, but stillllllllllllll.

EDIT:

JKJKJKJKJKJKJKJKJKJK FIXED IT ALL IS WELL.

Hi, I have teal in my hair now.



I love it!

I began drawing again this week. It feels really great to be doing something creative (other than photography stuff). My desk is pushed right up to the edge of my bed as I don't have a desk chair and my room is too small for a chair + desk anyway. It's kind of nice since I constantly see my desk and when I'm just sitting in bed, I don't have an excuse not to draw.

This is the small little body of drawings I have so far from this weekend/week. I'm digging it so far. The female figure/face is always prevalent in my drawings it seems. I'm not going to argue with instinct!







Sorry for the shit photobooth pictures. These are too big for my scanner and my camera is downstairs.

Here is a shitty cell phone picture of my new darkroom!



Here's a list of the things I got:

-Enlarger (can't remember the brand right now)
-Two enlarger lenses
-Extra enlarger bulbs
-Two sets of red filters
-Cropping easel
-Two timers, one for film developing and one for printing (that one is more accurate with seconds)
-Safelight
-Film developing tank
-Film developing reels
-Two metal trays
-Several plastic trays
-Tongs
-Bulk film loader
-Beakers
-Negative sleeves
-A rolled up drying rack (I can hang it hammock-style)

I'm sure I'm forgetting some stuff, but I basically got $200-300 worth of free stuff. I spent about $100 yesterday (haha, whoops...) on film, new batteries for my Nikon N65, paper developer, stop bath, fixer, and paper. I still need to go buy film developer.

I'm soooo excited to get started. My chemicals should be coming in the mail this next week. I'm trying Arista chemicals (except I'll have Ilford for the film developer). I hope to have some stuff scanned by next week!
