First of all prettybutt has rolled out the red carpet for me, which I find absolutely hilarious and awesome and very touching. She asked me to join the community thetroubles celebrating the SyFy show Haven in art and graphics form. I posted only two graphics so far, but people like tihana whose icons count amongst my favorites currently and a lot of other great artists.

Haven as a show, should you not watch it, is a mystery show with people with strange abilities and great quirky characters. And the way it's films and the landscape and such are really beautiful. It's not a must see I think but it is really enjoyable and heart-warming.


Yesterday half_lit_world and I went to the presentation of this years bachelor works at our old school. It was for the most part of waste of time. We were completely underdressed in our jeans and shirts and sneakers. I remember we were such a different crowd back when we got our diplomas. Far more down to earth. I think we all just fit together and when I look at all the classes since then, I think that was something special.

That said, of 48 students only 8 presented their work and even though it was well done stuff. It just not up to par with works in a diploma. It's like they thought, let's find projects that might be sold in the real life. So there was a corporate identity thing, some photogaphs about vanity and a lot of boring stuff. Everything was extremely generic. the photographs looked like the came right from the image database, seen before and so very boring and not even good and interesting photography. Nothing had soul, nothing was different. Seen a 100 times before and done better.

Isn't the diploma a time where you can do something insanely creative? Isn't that the work where one would go and say, I'm going to try out something really really cool? Isn't that the time to create something that will amaze people instead of just being a thing that people see and will say, that's not so bad.

Well, it did make me feel good about my own work, though. We decided we were artists much more then these people.

We left fairly early after that and went to a cafe and chatted for hours. We didn't even notice how late it was until I started yawning and we checked the time.

Happy birthday _inbetween_, bingbulette and paperwirexit! I hope it is/was a good one.
