Devious Journal Entry
NeutralI was recently accepted to SVA
(School of Visual Arts), for Cartooning. I also applied to Pratt and MICA, but now that I got into SVA, I don't care about those two anymore...and I mailed out my application for RISD this week. My Mom(and my Art Teacher)really want me to go there, but I <3 SVA. I won't know until April what RISD's decision is, so.and I am unsure if I should apply to Cooper Union...which involves spending my time doing their hometest. 6 visual assignments
My Mom did some research and to it sum up, she told me CU is intense. (From what she said)it's a place where all you do is ART. And the social situation is humble compared to other schools('cause they only except a few students). But with that(a Cooper Union education), you will be a great artist 'cause all you do is art.
As I'm typing this, I don't think I should pre-maturely close any doors. I should keep all of my options open. and apply
Pray for me
I'm surprised I have watchers.
That reminds me, I only have one piece in my gallery because at the time I made this new account I was only happy with one piece of art. That has changed, and I am looking forward to uploading pieces from my portfolio

reading has saved my life(and I mean that literally). I discovered a book last summer called "A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose" by Eckhart Tolle, and it helped me re-imagine the nature of my existence and help redefine my consciousness. since then, I have been reading a Lot(more than drawing-ex. see my gallery, lol).
other authors I have read within the last year are Leo F. Buscaglia, Joseph Campbell, Miyamoto Musashi, Takuan Soho, David Mack, Lao Tzu, Inoue Takehiko,
and I have been looking into metaphysical concepts from the perspectives of Buddhism, Hinduism, and Christianity(not just looking at them that way, truly seeing things that way). Important concepts are Maya, Consciousness, connecting with nature, and

the present
moment.
perhaps the positive reinforcing force that has given my life so much peace and meaning, understanding, and wonder.
and it all started with reading a "random" BOOK!!!
