yesterday we were treated to a full-fledged pirate for figure drawing, and the task was to complete a full rendering in our 3 hour slot (poor model!). personally i believe i screwed up my decent foundation when i got to shading it, but it was still good practice - a challenge to take into account all the folded clothing as opposed to the nude form. here's the pirate:

then we went to the arsenal to meet up with some old friends... it was fun for the most part, just a little difficult to actually talk to people who are too drunk. that makes catching up not so fun. we almost didn't get in because we weren't 'dressed well enough.' but the bouncer 'let us slide this time.' thanks for letting us in pal, so we can walk around 100 guy and girl clones all dressed the same. then we basically got ditched when we all left. oh well, so it goes.

speaking of weapons, the new tool album seems to be getting closer and closer with their official page posting some studio photos as well as adam jones' myspace page. i'm so excited!
