Little Catie painting from today.

Graduated today! Nothing much to say other than: THIS IS IT, THE DEED IS DONE.
Here’s a photo of the main supplies I used for my thesis, Jeremiah. I’m going to post photos of the commencement exhibition soon.
Not that it really stopped me.
The main part of my thesis show is (most of) Jeremiah’s pages. In my audience’s defense, they weren’t looking at me, but at the show. I just happened to be standing in the middle of it being a knob.
final crit of my life tomorrow, this is about half of Jeremiah
strategic covering up of spoilers
JEREMIAH, 174 PAGES, SENIOR THESIS, DONE
shoulda brushed my motherfuckin’ eyebrows before I took this picture
It’s happening, folks. I have 10 pages left to draw for my graphic novel Jeremiah. I’ll be done with college in two weeks.
I wish I could show you what I’m painting now, but man, spoilers galore.
Future ideas for stories
That Marian Churchland drawing sparked me to jot this down:
I’ve been thinking about making a story with a modern day hipsterish girl who is embodying a knight / the warrior, it’d be exploring the warrior’s place in society as it was during feudal politics projected into now, also something to do with indie music (because the music scene is basically fuedalistic, right?)
This concept really has nothing to do with my interests at allll (eyeroll)
I mean, the graphic novel I’m wrapping up as we speak (if you can say 30 pages left wrapping up, but it sure feels like it), Jeremiah, is about a modern day Iowan teenage farmboy who is embodying a prophet from the Old Testament.
Basically I just want to take all the historical and critical theory prototypes I adore and shove them into the wallflower people of our contemporary culture.
Whoops, summed up my art practice
Updated my blog with Jeremiah panels and a note!
For the curious, here’s the thumbnail version of these panels:

“In 1970 Thompson ran for sheriff of Pitkin County, Colorado, as part of a group of citizens running for local offices on the ‘Freak Power’ ticket. The platform included promoting the decriminalization of drugs (for personal use only, not trafficking, as he disapproved of profiteering), tearing up the streets and turning them into grassy pedestrian malls, banning any building so tall as to obscure the view of the mountains, and renaming Aspen ‘Fat City’ to deter investors. Thompson, having shaved his head, referred to his opponent as ‘my long-haired opponent’, as the Republican candidate had a crew cut.” - from Wikipedia
My roommate in 2006 told me about the “long-haired opponent” thing and I think about it a lot. (As in, “hippie.”) The oppression of hair and haircuts, and what it means.
I’m currently working on the scene in Jeremiah where he gets his hair cut, and I’m doing it almost 100% because of this Hunter S. Thompson story.
