Long time no post

Well, the europe tour has taken a pause and so has my blogging. To be completely honest, the only thing that I've been doing lately is obsessing over the spring bike racing season and getting my studio ready for my assessment on Monday. I'm satisfied with my art work over the semester, mainly because it covers every square inch of my personal wall space and the result looks pretty cool.

The last art thing that I did this last week was body monoprinting, where I inked up sheets of metal, set them on the floor, put paper over the top and made marks with my body. I rolled and crawled and scratched all over the top of it, got some strange stares and came out with some good work.

Last week my mom was in the country and we tried to climb Ben Nevis. The weather advisory said that trying to climb the mountain that day was a bad idea, but we went anyways. So we got 20 minutes from the top and suddenly we were in a mind blowing white out blizzard with 60 mph winds. I don't think that I've ever been scared for my life, but I was, and my hands got really really cold. I was thinking of all those everest movies where the climbers got stuck, got frostbite, and had to get digits chopped off. Luckily, my hands were not black when I took my gloves off, but I was happy to get down off that mountain and into the warm car.

Thats all folks.
