Where is the farthest you have ever been away from home? Did you get homesick? 
Submitted by Melissa.

The farthest i've been from home was Florida. I did get a little homesick. Now living in Minneapolis though i'm much more homesick than then haha.

so i'm rather bored i should be studying for this big ass test i have tuesday but i don't want to. so i've been doodling and listening to music. so here's one of my doodles....i love to draw my own type. and i love this chain stuff or that's what i think it looks like. the words are from a song called hallelujah by paramore. i wish time flew like a dove. i want to fast forward like 5-10 years so i don't have to go through all this college stuff and to see if me and robert are still together. ugh. so much on my mind.. anyways. i have a shitty scanner so deal with the shitiness of the scan haha..
                                

Chain

so i can't decide what i want my page to look like and as i'm browsing through the choices at 5:38 in the morning i notice it's alot of the same choices as livejournal only vox doesn't try to rip you off by making you upgrade your account to use certain ones. fantastic. so many choices! 

well my critique for my Poe piece in my illustration class went well today which is great. i've never really had much confidence in my work so it's really nice to have positive feedback. well a few weeks ago we had to create an illustration for an article about organic or eco-friendly clothing. my project went well i am really happy with it. i did a collage of recycled paper to promote the idea of eco-friendly.

Organic_clothing

This was made with newspaper scraps, recycled paper, watercolor, pastel pencil. I think the dimensions are 7x10

Well I am new to VOX i thought it would be a nice place to start up a new blog and show some of my work i'm doing at at MCAD. it's quite early 7:38 i have yet to go to sleep because i've been working on an illustration for my illustration class. We had to illustrate someone off this list of people and i chose to do Edgar Allan Poe. I really enjoy his poem the Raven. Also i recently saw the simpsons tree house of horror version of it and it was very amusing. i have the link below you should check it out. so here's what i ended up with it's just a quick sketch that i monkeyed with in photoshop quickly just so i had it done for class haha. the text in the picture is part of the poem. i will try and update as much as i can but school is so busy.
