wow I’m tired. been up for a looooong time. made two 11x17 books, which maybe I will post pictures of if I can remember to charge my camera, which is generally something I hate doing because it reminds me that the camera in question is an utter piece of shit and that I am simply stuck with it because I stand completely terrified before the hideously impenitrable wall of nonsense, jargon, and model numbers that is the photographic equipment industry, the fact of which is doubly befowling cuz I am usually quite at home with technology-oriented bullshit, but in this particular instance the whole thing makes me want to hide under my bed and not even think about taking pictures ever.

anyway yeah. so. made two books. in a few hours they will go to entirely separate and distinct teachers. I was going to silkscreen their respective titles onto their covers but I forgot to by diazo activator last time I was at the fucking art store, which was stupid. but so they’re identical, coverwise, which I think I like better (but of course I’ll never know cuz I have no real empirical data/experience to compare that shit to, riiiight? right.)

yeah. in leu of pics, you can d/l the mammoth pdfs if you are so inclined here and here, respectively. these are probably about as interesting as “jack shit” to you, cuz they are just the book fillings, w/o the actual book casings, which are the good bit as far as I can ascertain. the pdfs, therefore, are like the oreo filling w/o the actual oreo, which although it sometimes seems like a good idea, you don’t see nabisco selling that shit in tubes, do you? no. so no.

I am sorry, I’m tired. anyway yeah. my house is a mess but I’m too lamely exahusted to deal with it now. so: rest, then clean, then turn in the books maybe after photographing them happily together. then… who knows?? maybe someone will offer to buy me beers and be my friend. we shall see.

yeah!

if you are the kind of person that found that sequence of shit even vaguely amusing, and you have an appetite for downloading 10mb pdf files, then this is clearly for you. or just stop by the RISD graphic design gallery any time this week after this monday, for the same thing, only analog. yes!
