Hello

Well, here's another attempt to an art blog. We'll see how this goes.

Hi. I'm Amanda (aka Bunnie). I'm a graphic design student. I started designing websites when I was 11 as a hobby. The last four years I've been taking art classes and working on obtaining a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Graphic Design. Hoping to be graduating next Spring.

I'm very bad at keeping updates most of the time. But I intend to sort through all my artwork and stuff after this semester ends and see what I could possibly use for a portfolio.

I'm going to start posting artwork.

I paint. I draw. I photograph. I design. I like to play around with different medias.

For now, check out my personal blog Bunnie Chronicles.

Artist Update

Spring 2010 semester has been a really busy one! I feel like I've barely had time to do anything else!

I am eventually moving this site off Yola. I think I'm going to move it to my old professor's server for the time being... that is.. whenever I get a layout made and up (which probably won't be for a while =/ ).

Other news, I will have a few more things to add this weekend. Going to post a couple of projects that I've worked on this semester.

Going to Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in LA next Saturday. Excited to go =) Hoping to also get a mini photo session done while I'm over there too.

Right now, I'm working on designing a book jacket for Graphic Design. I really should be working on that at the moment. Finished my design for Typography C, which was to make a design for a font.

Website Update

Added about 5 new photos to the photography page.

This weekend, I plan to add typography work. I think I'm going to have a section of work I've done for classes I've taken.

Photography Update

Been doing a lot more photography lately. A lot of it is posted on my Flickr. Posted two pictures on the photography page. More to come. I'm also still going through vacation pictures from this past summer. I have 2000+ to go through from my brother's camera. Still haven't taken a look at the pictures my dad and I took. There is WAY more. We can't help being Asian. haha.

Finals week is this week. After that, I will have more time to focus on getting back into web design.. and adding more artwork to my portfolio. Also going to work on finding a host.

Link of the Week: Norton Simon Museum

Just went to this art museum in Pasadena, CA this weekend. I think its a pretty nice art museum. I really like the Degas paintings and bronze sculptures this museum has.

Artist Update

Decided during break, I'll be doing face studies both in drawing and painting. I didn't realize how much trouble I have in that area until my Illustration class. Not to mention that I feel really out of practice with rendering realistically.

I feel done with school. It might just be the senioritis or something. But I've been done with this semester for probably the last month. At least. Haha. Very bad. Trying to focus on my school work.

Signed up for next semester's classes. Taking: Computer Assisted Graphics, Typography into Graphic Design, Art and Child Development, and Creative Photography. It must suck for freshmen. I mean, the class times just all suck. But I don't know if its just because I have specific classes I need to take but it was a bit difficult trying to figure out a schedule. Basically four days a week, I'll be going from 1PM-9:45PM. =/ Doesn't help with the loads of classes being cut. But hey... as long as they don't cut my classes a week before the semester starts like they did for this semester... I'll be fine.

Its crazy. I decided to go through my Titan Audit (basically a list of what I've taken and what I still need to take) and if I did everything correctly, I only have 8 classes left after the a 2010 semester! WOW. It's all so soon! I feel scared. LOL. And unprepared. I don't even have a portfolio ready or anything! Another thing I gotta get crackin' on during break.

There's just not enough time.... and it seems like time is speeding up again... like someone decided to kick it up a notch. Is that just temporary? Or is life just going to move a lot faster after now? I hope not. I already feel so limited as it is.

I just turned 21 last Tuesday. YAY! Except... I still feel like I'm 17. Since then, I've only felt a glimpse of my age when I went out for a celebratory dinner with my friends and we ordered a bottle of wine (Beringer White Zinfandel) with our fondue dinner. Of course, I kept the bottle. I come home with it, and my mom goes "You know I don't like you drinking when I'm not around." What? I thought that only was because I was underage before?! No wonder I don't feel my age.

This week's work: Historical/Social/Political event project (Lettering and Typography), Caricature (Illustration), One page write up (History of Graphic Design), Extra Credit Museum Paper (Foundations in Modern Art)

Melinda Tracy Boyce is an aspiring graphic novelist and is currently trying to get her daily diary comics published....

I've caught a bunch of her little autobiographical comics from EatSleepDraw. They're pretty funny.

I Really Shouldn't Be Updating the Website Right Now.

But I am. =) Basically set everything up. Now, the next step is to take better pictures with my camera. I have pretty shitacular pictures of my artwork on my other art blog, [art]Work in Progress.
