We’ve read a lot of Mr Keedy this semester, and I was faffing around (that one’s for you Jeff) on the Cal Arts website this morning and came across his web link.

It just made me laugh—and it seemed to make complete sense given the tone of his writing.

Calls for Papers:
Here are a few opportunities to write and present your research. If anyone would like to collaborate on a conference presentation project let me know! Particularly the last one on this list. SGC is a printmaking conference but the theme is Equilibrium; it would be interesting to do a presentation on merging graphic design and printmaking.

I just ordered/recieved a great book that you guys might find interesting. It kind of reminds me of the short essays/books we have been reading this semester. It is just short stories and thoughts from established designers.

Designers Don’t Read (the title total made me buy the book…)
By Austin Howe

Art Melt & 45th Juried Artists Exhibition.

Also, my Artist Statement from Fall 2009 for the 7500 reviews: The pdf that starts “lynn’s crit” is my original draft with her comments. Perhaps reading her comments will help you determine what form your statement should take? The other .pdf (FINAL) is exactly that….with Lynne’s suggestions implemented.
