I always looked down on sva, not sure why, thought it didnt take itself as seriously or only jersey kids went there or something. Im reading Keith Haring's biography and its so bizarre to me to hear about all these kids participating in the Club 57 scene and being active artists but in a cluster of greatness. IM SO INFLUENCED. Honestly, echoes of their past have big parallels to my environment. Im all about clusters of greatness. Back then I think people could take more risks while in school. They could just be more involved in the city and go out more or something. I feel like a lot of kids just see their limit at Pratt not far beyond the iron gates.
Also I had my internship. I designed a wave pattern for a border that will go on a logo on the underside of dinnerware like plates and bowls!!! $#$$ SO ACCOMPLISHED. Really though I love the environment/SoHo/working/getting poorer - the more money and sleep I loose the happier I am right now.
Ive been feeling like an ALTBAG lately and the Replacement's Waitress in the Sky is on my ALTBAG playlist that's on altrepeat right now.
