Anatomy Class and the Bart Station on fire.


Hi everyone! This is my first entry about my work as an artist/student/chicana. I'm going to try to make this blog about my personal art documentation, reflections, and a journal of sorts of my life. Not entirely sure how to start this thing but perhaps a short introduction and some artwork documentation to start this thing right?
My name is Abby and I'm originally from San Diego which is where the sun lives, apparently, since it seems to only visit the fog-ridden bay area where i reside now. I moved to Oakland for school and due to life getting in the way I'm about to turn 30 as I enter my 2nd semester at CCA for my 1st Bachelors. Being the slightly older student at a college full of 20 somethings can be challenging...

Some Young Thing: "OMG guys I'm having my 21st birthday this weekend and we're going into the City to get HELLA trashed (insert giggles)!"

But I'm trying not let my old show:

Me: Oh look a Sublime CD, let's pop this in while we work. I LOVE sublime!
18 year-old Hipster: Wait, who?

Hopefully now that I have cleared some basics classes, this semester i will get do deal with similar creative minds so the age gap will seem less. I hope.

Anyways, below is about all of the work I've done for 1 of the 5 classes i took last semester(first time I've taken 15 units and not the last, for sure), which was Drawing: Anatomy. This was an exciting and challenging class for me and I feel i did fairly well considering the work produced and the better understanding of the human skeletal structure i achieved. I still only got a B so i must work harder next semester which is fine, I'm always up for a challenge. Bring it life!

That's it for today. Work is in a 3 hours and I heard on NPR that traffic commute into S.F. is hell this morning. Something about the West Oakland station being on fire.
O_o
Just another day in the East Bay, my friends.
Take care and be good to each other.
