ramzy asked: Congrats on the MFA. I'm curious, what are the graduate open studio days like from a grad student's perspective? What's expected of you, what's a typical day like etc? I'm entering UCLA this fall as an art undergrad but I'm also looking to get a sense of UCLA's grad program while I'm there.

pleasedontshoot asked: Being so near the end of your MFA, how do you feel about your decision to pursue it? It may have been a no-brainer from the start, but I'm assuming there was moments when you thought about doing something else for the two years. Are there any aspects you dislike about the MFA program? Any aspects stand out as being extremely beneficial? Why UCLA? I'm starting my MFA in NY this fall and...

I saw some good art and movies, heard some good music, read some good books. I’m not going to make you a top ten list—there are enough of those going around.
I made some good art. Later, I made some better art, and people began to notice. My car was broken into twice. I only left the state of California once. I did not see a single blood relative; I am over here, they are back...

It’s so nice to be on break. I almost decided not to leave my warm bed this morning, but then I remembered that I had a donut in the fridge. Due to a last-minute reorganization of my department’s schedule, I am not taking or teaching any classes next quarter. All I have to do is get ready for my show, which means making lots of new photographs and meeting regularly with the members of...
