First post / Renewed blog

I decided to erase my old blog which existed on a hotmail account (ugh) and open a new one from my gmail account (hoorah). I am officially done school but for one exam on the 28th. Then I will officially be a graduate! I am very excited. I've been at Ryerson for long enough, although I do sincerely love school so I'm not exactly sure what to do with myself now.
ANYWAYS - Exciting news! I will be going to Paris for the month of July. I was accepted into the Arts of Fashion Foundation's Summer Masterclass program. So I will be studying in the Louvre for the month alongside other creative fashion types, learning about creativity and art in fashion!

So that's incredibly exciting. I need to make money ASAP. Trevor will be coming with me as my travel companion and fellow sympathizer as a failure of the french language. Together we will be ignorant and confused by everything! As long as there is somebody else, it's okay!
Other than that, I've applied to a few competitions.. (Fingers crossed) and I've been doing some freelance work on the side which hopefully I'll be able to finish up soon. I'm also planning on starting an etsy store in the near future to sell some fabric art and hopefully make more money for Paris. So hopefully that will be a huge success that will make me rich!
Me and my illustrator friends are doing an art show at the Steamwhistle gallery. After a little bit of difficulty, we're slated in for January 2011. That's a ways away, however art takes a loooong time and at least this way, we can plan and plan. In my case, sew and sew and paint and paint and embroider.
That's about it for now. OH, if you are a Toronto or GTA resident (such as myself) I strongly advise you go see Gogol Bordello or Los Campesinos! tonight. Both are excellent.
