personal injury = art therapy

I experienced the worst pain of my life in February of this year.
Two herniated discs (L4 and L5) and some pretty extensive nerve damage down my legs.
After the surgery I was having nightmares, waking up crying, and essentially miserable. I felt isolated, alone, and useless. One day I drew myself both in pain and recovering. Surprisingly, it really seemed to help. Mix that with the support of my friends and family and my wonderful physical therapist, I am recovering faster than most.

even more thesis... it will not end.

More thesis work.
Some of these are not finished, but I thought I'd post works-in-progress to record, well, my progress...

Enjoy.

more on thesis

Work-in-progress for my thesis. I've finally settled on using the two previous polar bear pieces in my thesis.
Now I just need to finish about 17 more and I'm done.
Oh, and write a 20 page paper and present to a room full of people.
Easy?

We'll see.
