More diploma progress shizzle. Not really my most recent stuff, also quite a different direction than what I'm going for now but what the heck. Graphite, coal, markers and oil pastels.

I've got a new longboard! It's not really the shape I had in mind – I'd much rather have had a Longrifle or Citycruiser instead of a Speedboard – but hey, I'm not gonna complain if I get it handmade by our school's own soon-to-go-enterprise product design crew for a mere 25 bucks...

Halb5 is a series of guest lectures being held at my school each semester. They always start at the same time of day, hence the name. I've only attended a few of them in my first three years here but – as I am now realizing – should've done so more often since they are really quite good. Yesterday's Mariko Takagi wasn't as great as I expected but the fresh mint tea, mulled wine, homemade Christmas cookies and overall very cozy atmosphere made up for it :)

These suckers take a bit longer to finish, so updates may take a while. Two more!
