Im not crazy about pencil rendering assignments....but I am about summer!

Zippy-News:
1) Got braces off!
2) Last day of school: TOMORROW!
3) Finished 2 big watercolor art pieces that will be displayed in some random bank (have to find it to snap photos of it)

Here was the tedious (and under-rendered) assignment
rendered_self07
Self Portrait
render_umbrella07
Umbrella
rendered_statue07
"Favorite object in room" (yeaaah my superan statue!)
rendered_teapot07
"Something Metal"
rend_self_detail07
Detail shot (my amazing friend helped with this one)
Her artist parents say (in Chinese)
friends mom: "Paul made himself look 20 years older..."
friends dad: "Yes, just like how you make yourself look 20 years younger in your paintings"
haaaaaaaaa!

And here is a snip-it of the Night my friend and I missed the last BART ride home (stayed at this CD release party/ concert for too long) and had to stay in the city until 8AM. We walked around and stayed in 24 hour places until we got to the Ferry Building to watch the sunrise! ...Then finally fell asleep in the St. Regis Hotel like classy bums.
