...I do my favorite artsy work when I'm supposed to be doing other things.  I've got a metric crapton of work to do for school, my job, and my editorial position, but... I'm sick today, and I felt like making something pretty. I think I've been bitten by the photomanipping bug, too, so hopefully I can make some more pretties soon.  After I do all this work, that is.

It's funny how having other things to do is the best inspiration for making wallpapers, heh.  I'm taking a creative writing class this summer, and I should have been writing poems yesterday.  Nope, I made wallpapers. :D  I guess I could get away with calling the wallpapers "visual poetry," though I don't know how keen the professor would be about getting fan art as a poem, haha. The poetry... I'm enjoying writing my own, but the stuff I have to critique is... well, terrible.  This is a master's level class, but some of this stuff reads like a ten year old wrote it.  [sigh]  C'est la vie, I suppose.

I'm bouncing around.  My recent resurgence in interest in The X-Files means I've been making fan art like wallpapers and icons (which can be found here).  I've also been entering icontests on LiveJournal and will probably post some of those icons over here, too.  Aaaand my parents just bought two horses, so I've been snapping a lot of photographs. And unfortunately it's the end of the semester, so I'm doing research and writing papers instead of all of this fun, artsy stuff that I'd like to do.  Argh.  I am a grad student, though, so I've got procrastination down to an art.  And the world does need more sexy Gillian Anderson wallpapers...
