The School year is done, and the week after class' have ended, I was able to hang out with a slew of people from this site. On Thursday Tae, Mikey B., and the super talented Alyssa Deville with her very generous Aunt, were able to all hung out getting sushi. Afterwords, we all went gallery hopping in Chelsea, checking out the Mark Ryden show at the Paul Kasmin Gallery, the Shawn Barber show over at Josh Liner as well as the SVA MFA SECOND YEAR THESIS SHOW!
The next day I was able to hang out with Alyssa again as we viewed the Student show at Society to see her amazing painting on display. She took alot of photographs so they should be online soon. Then on Friday at the reception at the Society of illustrators, I was able to meet other Ohgers/former classmates, Sara,and Jimmy as he received an reward for his beautiful piece. For me I am honored to be part of this site filled with students and young professionals. When I joined Ohger I was blown away by how many of these people I already followed on Blogger, and now I am one step closer to having a more personal interaction with people my own age that I deeply admire and are going through the same motions getting their careers started. I am also really thankful for a lot of people who have commented on the blog, giving positive feedback, constructive critiques, and sending me emails when they really wanted to tell me that the hand I drew looked really bad and didn't want to look mean in the public space. I have created unique bonds with people in New York, the whole way across to the west coast because of this website. For this, I am greatful to Zimm for going through with making this site, and all those who joined it. Any other Ohgers that are going to be in New York this summer, or other illustrators/designers/web designers/animators/creatives (students or pro's), please let me know when your around and wanna get coffee or something. The more we connect and talk about what's going on, the better we can act as a community. Wither thats under the umbrella of Ohger or as creatives. I am looking forward to hearing from you. (especially you Dadu!)
