Artist's Comments

I really dig my typography class <3. While it's not an area I can see myself going into, the projects are cool, and I am generally inspired by my instructor. He's so passionate about his subject, and it really makes the class that much more entertaining.

This particular assignment was to use the David Carson deconstruction aesthetic to take a stance on an issue, using ironic wordplay. My first attempt was a total bomb (it looked like "wrapping paper with cheesy stock imagery"), but I'm proud of this one. It doesn't look like my usual stuff. I think that's why I like it so much.

Eating disorders are a serious epidemic. While ana-mia supporters will doubtlessly claim it's an empowering lifestyle choice, and when done in moderation, doesn't hurt anyone, but that's simply not true. Bulimia in particular is destructive to the body, and to one's self-worth and self-image. It's not something beautiful or noble, and those suffering from these diseases need help. There's more to life than your body.

I love it, and agree with you ^-^

Mental disorders are a complicated matter (I have dysthymic disorder so I have room to talk), but this picture definately captures a sort of mixed emotion on eating disorders. Beautifully done (:

that's really beautiful, if you could pass some of your new knowledge into us? <3

And if you pass by my house, and if you see my mom, tell her not to wait for me because this movement doesn't take one step back.
You tell her that there in heaven, the souls that battled will be found.

Stay off the drugs. Or possibly on, depending on how crazy you want your stuff to be.

You like your typography class? God, I hate mine. It is quite definitely the most tooth-pulling sleep-inducing horrid art class I have EVER had to take EVER. And I am SO not exaggerating.

On the other hand, if we got to do assignments like this, maybe it wouldn't suck so much. Ugh. Which would be my round about way of telling you "niiiiiiice"

Do people get confused and think you're talking about maps when you tell them you're taking typography? Because I get that all the time. >_>
