I'm thinking about doing a spray paint tie dye when I get home this weekend. What kind of art are you majoring in? do you draw, or paint, or photograph? Get some bonnaroo art up here!

I love sculpting... but I also draw, paint, and done some printmaking. I'm not really experienced with computer art, I took a advertising art class but I'm not too into it. I've never taken an photography class, and I don't think I ever will since I'm graduating this semester lol.

typoos ugh. = me editing a million times

This is pretty coincidental timing. I JUST tie dyed a couple of t-shirts (to make Roo shirts) and a couple of sheets (to use as shade tapestries at Roo) only yesterday (and rinsed the sheets out this afternoon). They look pretty sweet. If I knew how to post pictures on here, I would.
