It is so difficult to create a sentence that is beautifully composed and deliver what one exactly wants it.
When you start writing, the general thoughts that contains many extra words come out and form a sentence. Then you have what you want to say there thought it is not anywhere near beautiful or powerful. Look for the right word to fit in the open spot is like looking for a piece of puzzle. It is time consuming and frustrating at the same time.
Then you realize how little vocablary you have and kind of being ashamed of it. I want to write well. I need to read more. Learn more.
Writing is totally an art.
la jette 1962 french film by chris marker
very interesting, beautiful, confusing, sad film. though too bad it was not a greatest subtitle. white subtitle on black and white film… not the best design decision made. i don’t know if i want to watch 12 monkeys since it’s a kind of horror, but i’d be interested just out of curiosity.
the still shots were beautiful, especially couple of images of the woman under the sun bathing. her expression were just beautiful.
i’d love to see it one more time with a better subtitles.
Yesterday A mentioned that my work needs more emotion because I tend to be very logical and rational. After a night of sleep and some harsh reality check from bf, I realized that my work and my inner self is the total opposite.
I have a lot of emotions going on inside of myself. I can’t keep them. I have to let it out. Somtimes it’s too much for the boys to take. Though, I become much more practical and rational when it comes to creating artwork from my inner emotions; like my love map project. And it lacks of emotions.
So now I’m thinking… how do I bring more of outter rationality in my inner self and bring the emotional inside to my outside?
Bf also mentioned to not have makeup on myself and wants to see the ‘real me’. Quite honestly, I haven’t gone out of house without even a bit of eye brow attach since middle school. I’m totally serious. I went out with NONE makeup last couple of days and I feel completely naked. Self insecurity perhaps? I always tend to think I should look good and present myself in a good manner. I don’t know if it’s a cultural thing or how I was raised by the Japanese pop media. How to carry myself… I don’t know.
I was so inspired by a book Spilling Open by Sabrina He and Harrison that I borrowed from G last week. I love the ink and the free-style writing. I think I need a ink pen and some ink and start doing analog drawing/writing… I placed the collage I created yesterday with magazine cutouts on my wall above the mirror this morning. It’ll be a start point for me.
I was really sad and hurt about the reality check last night. But maybe it’s not so bad after all since I’m trying to face the really hard part of my inner self and trying to understand more of myself.

For all the DMI student (especially for the 1st years), hoooooooooooooooraaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!! We survived the first semester review!! Tap on the shoulder for all of us. Whether you think you had a successful review or not, I think it’s all about learning experience so I would say give a high 5 to all of us.
Aside from that on the personal note, I finally feel like I got back to my student mode. It’s hard (in my opinion) to get back to be student once you are out of it for some time. I feel like now since 6 weeks have passed, I gradually learned my own study speed and execution time which was really helpful to me so that now I can plan things accordingly.
I also started to think the direction I want to take for the rest of a year and half. A lot of thinking involved but I realy like the process my brain is taking right now. So we’ll see where it will take me to. The journey should be exciting. =)
We are doing interactive narrative for the second half of the semester. The content for this project is to remake “The Perfect Human” by Jorgen Leth, a Danish film maker. The short film was made in 1967. Then the remake version of this came out on 2003 which is called “5 Obstructions” by Lars von Trier whom asked Leth to remake the original 35 years after its creation. However the remake would have to create under obstructions that are decided by Von Trier on the spot.
It was very interesting to see the film changes through 35 year of time as well as the wide variety of way to express it. I thought the film was controversial as the subject matter was culturally limited and gender oriented. It also suggested comparison in nature and artificiality.
So far I have couple of ideas and I am excited to see how it will develop in my head before I put it down on paper of any sort.
It is my very first blog I am writing at 2:43am in the morning. It sounds a little insane, but this is when I feel like writing about me and art.
I consider myself as a designer more than anything else, though at times I would like to call myself an artist too. When I feel like an artist than a designer, I wish I was better at certain skills so that I could express myself better on paper. Or in the exact way I picture it to be.
I love Kurt Halsey’s work. His work speaks to your inner thoughts, emotions, and dearest part of you. With illustrations and precious words, his art work communicates with your heart and that’s what I love about his art. I wish I can do that with my art too. I hope with more time and practice, I can express myself freely and my art can communicate to my viewers in their deepest part.
I can’t wait to start my grad school this September. There are so much to learn, and so much to improve. I am expecting myself to be inspired, meeting many artists, share and exchange thoughts and ideas and try to bring the best out of each and every one of us. That would be really awesome. I really can’t wait.
Powerkat strive to be the best.
