I AM SEEING THEM TONIGHT. Leaving right now. Can’t wait.
But the declaration of the Apostle is of the greatest weight; that this Melchizedek, whoever he was, is presented before us, without any origin, as if he had dropped from the clouds, and that his name is buried without any mention of his death. (Hebrews 7:3.) But the admirable grace of God shines more clearly in a person unknown; because, amid the corruptions of the world, he alone, in that land, was an upright and sincere cultivator and guardian of religion.John Calvin’s commentary on Genesis 14. Beautifully worded.
For some reason I’m really looking forward to the forthcoming My Brightest Diamond album, so I went over to the Asthmatic Kitty website to find its release date. While I was there I was struck by what a cool portrait this is.
The album comes out 18 oct, by the way. It’s going to be great.
Fritz Lang on the set of Frau im Mond, 1929.
Note to self: acquire plus fours, attempt to look half as awesome as Fritz Lang while wearing them.
What I did this week (12 sep 2011)
- In figure drawing: made lots of continuous line drawings of Kelly.
- Held several highly successful design team meetings and collaborated to produce good work.
- Developed a roll of black and white film and made some prints.
- Broke my tiny french press, which was already crazy-glued and on its last leg.
- Did a “lab” in my science class and felt nostalgia for the public school I was never in.
- Developed more photos in the darkroom all by myself.
- Worked as a portrait model for Arthur Wang’s portrait drawing class and got to sit in on his excellent lectures.
- Got a 100% on my first homework assignment for my ad class.
- KNIT SOCKS without looking while I modeled.
