I got an email a few days before classes started, asking me if I could teach Printmaking at Loyola Marymount University this semester. Of course I said yes, although the drive from Los Feliz to Westchester is not too fun. But so far my students are great, and it will be a welcome boost to my bank account.
Also I have unexpectedly reconnected with an old acquaintance from Frogman's who is a TA at LMU this semester. He's been cleaning out some cabinets in the studio there, and found this non-dairy creamer from the 1970s. Ew.....
I also love that the plastic container is a major selling point...
Two days a week at LMU, and two days at Cal State Northridge. At CSUN I have the most Printmaking students I have ever had, which is GREAT, and this is the first semester where there are more levels offered, which is making eveyone's life better!
So things are going well, but I am still adjusting to my schedule. I get up around 6am to go to LMU, and this past week I had one morning where...I swear to God...I put on two different shoes. No, not like black and brown:
Fortunately I did have time to stop at a shoe store before class.

i started teaching metals for the first time this semester. it makes me nervous to teach in my field. did you feel like this? i think it's because i'm so used to doing everything that i'm afraid i'll forget to teach them something. reading your blog makes me feel like things will get better and i will stop being so nervous.
it gets better. or it gets less scary. what i discovered in teaching out of grad-school, was that teaching in a new place made me feel like i knew nothing at all about printmaking. (which isn't true.) so like, teaching or making in a new place is like driving in a new place...some things are the same, but it takes some getting used to.
ok, so i don't get why you had to stop at a shoe store, i would have walked right in proud of the awesomely random footwear and used it as an example of a) a happy accident and b) everything is messed up exactly how it should be and c) clownish footwear is a joyous thing! now of course i'm going to change one of my shoes before leaving for work, in your honor...
i'm glad you're busy!!! the shoe incident cracked me up. hoping to be back in LA soon! maybe you can show me around the print shop and we do some critiques! xoxoxo
