Hi, Everyone!
So, I successfully completed my Sophomore year at RISD, went home for my brother's birthday and high school graduation (he's going to Pratt next fall) and now I'm back on campus working at Residence Life.
I've been to lazy to do any real art but that will change in a couple weeks when because I have to do some posters for transfer/summer study student movie nights.
I spend a lot of my free time reading and here are some books I've read since the start of summer that I've enjoyed:
An Education by Lynn Barber
I saw the film a few months ago and loved it and was surprised to find the movie is based on only one chapter of the book and Lynn Barber continued to have a seriously fascinating life as a journalist.
The Aya series by Marquerite Abouet & Clement Oubrerie
This is definitely my favorite of the three books shown here, it was incredibly refreshing and lovingly written and illustrated. They're adapting it into a film coming out sometime next year and I am too excited.
High Fidelity by Nick Hornby
The prologue was really intriguing but after a few chapters I wasn't sure if I wanted to finish it. Frankly, I found it horribly depressing although every other media associated with Nick Hornby (the screenplay for An Education) I've enjoyed.
More to come. Have a good summer!
