valid reasons for doing something:
- you love it
- it pays the bills
if you’re doing something that doesn’t fit into one of these categories then you’re probably either a student or you’re stupid. the trick is to make the transition out of student without going straight into stupid.

there are things that i have created as theoretical solutions to theoretical problems that i don’t ever plan on being in a situation where i create a actual solution to an actual similar problem. i can’t quite decide if this is a waste of my time or not.
my bfa graphic design show is now hung, after spending every waking hour this week on it – and having too many waking hours to work with. i’m happy with the projects that i have done, but overall i’m less excited then i should be. it’s the same frame and pedestal style show as it always is.
three years ago i thought that i would make my show remarkably different from what everyone else did. either this just isn’t possible, or i didn’t try hard enough. i feel a sellout.
i hope you come to my show this friday though. i’m proud of what i have in it. but i have to disclaimer something: this is only a small part of what i do and what i’m interested in. it doesn’t define me, it defines the program i’m in. i am alot more.
