tonight was amazing.
alfie met me at the AIGA gallery for the opening of 365.
i've been working on this show with my professor/boss matthew moore since i graduated FIT.
many hours spent lovingly/hatingly with InDesign and many near disasters later the show opened and seemed to be a hit? who knows really.
it opens to the public on friday.
AIGA 5th ave between 21st and 22nd...free always.
stefan sagmeister was there for a nano-second disappeared before i could work up the courage to talk to him...maybe next time, but still highlight of my design life.
i think i'm gonna make it

i can not recognize my face
it seems that my body has forsaken me.
bones growing more bones, just not where or when i need them
the space between my nose and upper lip is getting bigger
i can see through the skin on my hands
except for the parts where there are scars

i can come clean.
today in class (which i have, even though i've graduated...just doesn't make sense) we had to go around the room in typical first day fashion, introduce ourselves, say where we're from what we've done blah blah blah. but this time we had to say a fact about ourselves that our classmates did not know. we've been together for a while now, and i'm pretty sure most people in the class know more about me that i know about them or they know about each other (im pretty open/honest)
so when thinking about my thing to tell, instead of talking about how i took ice skating lessons when i was younger, or how i pushed my little sister down the stairs on halloween when she was dressed like jasmine from aladdin, or that i pick my nose and put my boogers in the cuff of my pants, i decided to tell something that i felt was important for them all to know.
when i applied to FIT to get my master of the arts degree in exhibition design, i had not one drop of intention of being an exhibition designer. the only reason i applied was because i got laid off from my dream job, couldnt find anything that compared, and had an opportunity to teach at parsons if only i had a masters in SOMETHING. and then well well well. one year, SUNY prices, master degree plopped in my lap. so i applied and got in and figured it couldnt be THAT bad. and if it was, well it was only for a year.
BUT THEN SOMETHING HAPPENED. i realized that i actually LIKED exhibition design. in fact, I LOVED IT. and for the first time ever, i could see myself doing this ONE thing for (if not the rest of my life) a long time.
and now i've found myself on a pretty decent path to 'establishing' myself to some degree in the field. thats a lie. but i'd say i'm in a way better position than i was when i finished up at pratt and im WAAAAAAAAY happier.
i guess what i'm trying to say is that everything is gonna be okay.
its crazy how the world works.
