My life so far...

Currently I'm working on class projects making the usual pinch bowl then turn them into pod forms. The next project is pretty interesting, since I've never done a giant plate with relieve subconscious figurative imagery before, it should be interesting. My goal is to get into my own studio, probably in a work/live environment in SF with my new gf, Laura. She's really amazing and fun to be with compare to my recent girl I dated, who is always just too busy with her school (police academy), which is fine but just doesn't seem to work out with me. Things just slipped and conversations lessen everyweek. After my trips to Hong Kong, talking to her became even harder. I feel bad because I'm the type that wants closure, but it's just too awkward. I moved on and I'm sure she's fine. She's a tough girl.
But anyhow, on the personal projects though I'm planning to make relief rectangluar plates of Alex Ross's painting - "Joker's Reckoning". I think that would be pretty huge project. Hopefully I can find time to work on it. Work is pretty chill this week, but I'm ready for the next season to start to really try to prove my worth because I messed up on a couple of occasions. January 2007 will be my 1 year of working with my mother, yes mummy dearest. It's been tough learning experience. Learning about the business and of course, "just how do you talk to your mother who you don't really talk to?" She can learn how to do just about anything as long as it's not related to being a motherly figure. Burrrn!! Ahh, tough shit. She's not really the mothering type and she knows it. I'll always give her credit for being a provider and a mentor; I can't count on her for emotional cushion because she'd just basically tell you to get over it. To her there's really no need to be emotional about things. If she feels down or sad, she'd analzye her way out of any situation. She is my mother; she is my Vulcan.
