Hey Stranger - Week 1

  SAWYER'S TYPING... This blog was made as a college project and will be updated weekly per the assignment rules. I've had Tumblr blogs in the past so I'm no stranger to this format and I quite enjoy blogging. It's a digital journal for me so I'm actually really excited for this ongoing assignment.  Since this is the first week there's not a lot to comment on besides the general digital art knowledge that was displayed.

Hey Stanger - About Me

  Sawyer's Typing... Hey stranger,   My name's Alex Sawyer, I'm 19 and I'm from Southern California. I'm currently in college studying Art history and I'm working as an apprentice for a local artist. when I'm not working on school-related projects [such as this blog] I'm usually reading or spending time with friends / my boyfriend.  I enjoy drawing and playing video games. I also skateboard and I play guitar [when I work up the nerve to dust it off]. I have a german shepherd named Ginger and a ball python named Severus. I also love horror movies and anime, arguably I have the best recommendations. Music is also a big part of who I am. Growing up I found the scene [what people refer to the alternative music scene as] and it became a part of me. because of that, I spend way too much time listening to music, making playlists, and spending an egregious amount of money on concert tickets.  Sawyer logging off...
