in my basement

i have been dragging my feet on grading these midterms because i despise grading.

it's taken me pulling my own teeth to get me down to this basement. 

but now that i'm here, i'm just like, waaaaait a minute. 

i do you know what i love? 

i love figure drawing. 

and do you know what else i love? 

teaching. 

and do you know what else i love? 

people. 

GUESS WHAT I GET TO DO. 

i get to teach figure drawing to people. 

i get to inspire others and show them how to do one of the most difficult and complicated and foundational processes of art -- and i get to be the one to believe in them. i get to be the one to say, hey. you can do this. and here's how. and that's pretty freaking rad.

so you know what? i'm happy to be in my basement.
