Hi everyone!
I hope
you guys had a nice Christmas/Holidays! I didn't get to enjoy the
holiday break much since I had to pack up stuffs with my girlfriend and
moved to the new place during the holiday week (Even on Christmas!
Brutal.) before the Winter quarter start at UW.
Let me tell you something - if you are/going to move to the new apartment, hire the movers. They saved our butts and made our lives sooo much easier. In all of our previous moves, it was extremely stressful. The packing, the carrying, renting trucks,
trying to find a spot to park the trucks, cancelling all your electrical/phone/gas/internet services, cleaning
the old place, cleaning the new place, paying for the new place,
redirecting all your mail, the unpacking. My girlfriend and I were at each other
face - arguing and yelling over stupid, little stuffs. The movers? We
packed up everything we should find and they would move it in under an
one hour n' half... Impressive.
You don’t realize how much random stuffs you have until you need to fit
it all into your car. Sure, when you are actually living somewhere, you
may think that your collection of expired coupons and the stuffed
Cartman doll you drunkenly snagged from the claw game one night are
necessary bits of modern living. But god dammit if the second you
realize that you need to pack that shit up, you don’t have the urge to
throw that shit away, then you are a better person than I am.
The worst part isn’t finding all the shit you are OK with tossing,
though. The worst part is realizing what it is that you can’t part with.
A little batman toy you got from a cereal box, a hot wheels Delorean, a
poster you got from a magazine that you never intend to actually hang
up. Hell, you are never going to ever use ever but for some reason you
can’t throw out. It makes you feel like you are the star in a new
episode of Hoarders. It’s depressing.
Both emotional and physical toll make moving an unwelcome experience.
However, you can always look at the brighter side: you will be living
in a new place, making new friends and perhaps enjoying a new lifestyle.
The physical toll can be eliminated when you are able to hire a good
moving company.
Anyway, that's enough about me and onward to the part where you really came here for!
These
pictures are from the Design Drawing class at the UW. Basically they
are an excerise to get brush up on your two-points perspective drawing
skills.

| How to draw cubes by using "Root Method" and "Diagonal Method" tutorial |
No, we don’t design cubes, but the cube is a basic unit of spatial
measurement. Our design
exercise was to draw five compositions of five (or more) perfect cubes in perspective – freehand. Don’t
even try to use a straight-edge to draw them; Professor Sang-Gyeun Ahn would
call you right out. We did a lot in class that first semester, but every
night we had to draw those damn cubes for days/nights until they were
perfect. It was a form
of Industrial Design bootcamp.
