1. Learning Time (30 Minutes) I finished the book, Show Me Your Work by Austin Kleon. This little book is a list of 10 steps to getting your artwork out there. Here’s what I learned today: 7. Don’t Turn into Human Spam– I thought “Human Spam” meant being one of those irritating people who isContinue reading “Three Hour Workday Challenge Day 1”

Three Hour Workday Routine Challenge
Hey all! I hope you’ve had a wonderful Christmas! I had Boxing Day off too, so I couldn’t wait to get productive after two days of partying. I decided to make a new challenge for myself.

How does Art Speak to You?

Weeks 2 and 3 of my internship at MPF Conservation were such a reminder of this fact. During the second week, Katie and I went shopping for strapping leather at OregonContinue reading “Imperial Monterey Session 2: Gunk Scraping!”
Senior Capstone: Meeting Marjan and the Poetry Book
Hey all! So, I was completely brain dead yesterday after coming home from the gym, so to make up for not posting yesterday, I’ll most likely post two posts today. Yesterday, I had the opportunity to meet Marjan Anvari, a conservator specializing in Medieval Middle Eastern manuscripts. She was really cool to talk to. I didn’tContinue reading “Senior Capstone: Meeting Marjan and the Poetry Book”
