school has been fucking with me with all these “assignments”, and “homework”, et cetera ad nauseum, but I have managed to fight back and do some things that make me happier than the usual pointless busywork. this dual-japanese-binding red vinyl book, for instance:

… which was so much fun to make that I put off doing a bunch of other shit to make it and had to stay up all night a bunch of times last week. tonight, in fact, looks to be another such burn-the-freaking-candle-at-both-ends rock-till-dawn type extravaganza. when I’m done with my work I will relax with one of the following books until the sun rises:

• jameson, “postmodernism” (2nd time through)
• jacobs, “cities and the wealth of nations”
• eisenmann et al, “folding in architecture”
• itten, “design and form”
• vice magazine, “dos and don’ts”

… because I am feeling the need to steep my brains in as much retardedly over-the-top semantic nonsense as humanly possible, cuz people from archis emailed me saying they want to actually really truly publish my fucking shit, as in on actual paper in a magazine, and as such I have to brush up the existant text for the project, cuz right now it’s some weak bullshit.

anyway yeah. more to come, no doubt, but right now I have to paint a jillion more gouache swatches to further my education in the mysterious world of color. yeah so yeah. talk soon yo!
