How I did it
It made me
weird/good. 
How I did it: I decided to go with the youtube way of watching it because I only own TWoO on VHS and I don't own Dark Side of the Moon (yet). I watched it late at night by myself. It was a weird way to watch a movie that is naturally very upbeat. It kind of changes the way you view The Wizard of Oz. Read how I did it…
It made me
Feel infinite. 
How I did it: I've been drawing since I was little and now I'm working to become an illustrator, but being able to draw is wonderful. It takes practice, practice, practice!

I'm an artist...
12 months ago
I’m about 185 days away from graduating from college and earning my BFA. I am really nervous. The entire point of me going to college for art was so that when I did graduate, even though I knew it would be hard, I’d end up doing something that I loved that made me happy. As graduation gets closer, I am scared.
I really hope I find a job that does make me happy.
