I'm just gettin stuff done like crazy.
Spring semester is almost over for me, one more week to go. It'll be my last semester in this city, and I'm definitely ready to leave. Sometime this summer (Wish I knew when), I'll be heading to the bay area!
And good timing for classes to end. I feel like I've turned over a new leaf, and have come out of one of my "lazy phases" where I don't get anything done for months on end. I'm getting stuff done faster, working longer, and doing more varied stuff. I recently completed the first metal sculpture that I'm proud of enough to submit to DA sometime! And I was up all night last night and since 7 AM this morning working on a mechanical mask, which I'll upload later.
Kinda sucks though, there's no way for me to do welding without renting out a workshop or taking classes. In order to get all the equipment I've been using for my project, I'd need to invest thousands of dollars for things that, although critical, I'd only use now and then. But welding is one thing I'll definitely stick with when I go to the university in San Fransisco. It's just a good skill to have, if the going gets tough as an artist, I can make money doing industrial welding.
Anyway, just an update. I'll be on tomorrow to submit that stuff, but I need to crash now.

Oh nice! What kinda welding did you do? What do you mean by metal rod sculpture? I've just been working with sheets of steel, personally.

Oh its just an old school project I did back in high school when I was 15, did Oxy-Acetyline welding. Should post a photo of the sculpture, but yeah its made out of round bar think its 8mm? not sure
