    This is a really well developed and creative idea on the self portrait assignment. When I originally saw that you only had a video I was expecting something, well less than stellar. By the time the 2nd line of the ascii art was displayed was when my original thought changed. Your flash fiction blends beautifully with the aesthetic of a computer in a more primitive state, one without some UI, just a slightly greenish tinted screen with a blocky green text indicator being the only thing visible. Additionally the flash fiction tells the story of a man hidden behind a screen, alone, with no one. This is strengthened by your note pad use by bringing to the idea of a loner, someone who usually studies code and coding

    It was very creative to use a vbscript cause its not hard and If I remember correctly you had around 300-400 lines maybe more. Your Flash Fiction is great because I can completely relate because experiences I had when I was younger has made me a better man.

    Wow, this is new. I’ve not seen anyone else write a self-writing script to tell your story. The Flash Fiction and image work together very well, and its tied together with the artist statement nicely. I love the last line in your TS/IS where you say, ““The story’s yours, go write it.” You are your story, write yourself.”

    First of all, props on a very creative project. Second, I really enjoy the quote in your flash fiction, "His past relationships have made him both a better and broken man". I feel strongly about the fact that the people in your life change you for the better or the worse.

it's a sad world- Abby Farrington

It’s a sad world Flash fiction: It’s a smile. REALITY. It’s not. Artist statement: I chose to do a six-word story with this piece because using just six words the intensity and impact it can have on the reader is huge. I wanted to do that effect with the use of punctuation and capitalization. While tying it into my picture where my picture is simple but has an impact. From what you see is a smile from the paper cut out. Then the reality is its not. The paper smile is covering the sadness and pain I’m hiding underneath the smile that’s shown and put on. I wanted to show the kind of personality I have in my story and picture. When the viewer sees my picture, I want them to know why I was crying, but then why there’s a smile. Its because of my personally, I keep my emotions inside so even on my worst days, you can see me with a smile and think everything is fine. That smile is hiding my emotions. I do this because I don’t want my sad or down emotion to ruin someone’s day, so I lau...

Her

Image
Flash Fiction She’s different, unique, one of a kind. She does what makes her happy with no intention of offending people. She’s usually neutral with opinions because she doesn’t like to anger anyone. For the most part she likes to stay in the background, observing everyone else. She prides herself on having her own style because it’s practically the only way people notice her. The main reason she stays in the shadows is because there’s a lot of room for failure when talking to other people and she just really doesn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. She’s very comfortable in her own skin or so you might think. However, she tries to cover herself as much as she can, in an attempt, to hide herself from the world. She’s confident in who she is but shy when it comes to others.  Artist’s statement My piece of art is a cartoon-like version of myself that reflects my visual presence. I put myself in an outfit that is both professional and comfortable to show that I am co...

Regret

You should’ve tried out for the musical, or perhaps even show choir. That’s something you can never go back on. Singing has always been one of your favorite things to do. You should’ve taken more art classes when they were free of charge in high school to find other ways to express yourself. You’ve always wanted to get better at drawing, you know. You should’ve re-joined AYSO, or some other soccer group. You know that soccer was your passion; while club soccer got to be too much and wasn’t your cup of tea, you know AYSO was where you belonged. You should’ve worked harder your junior year. Last year really tanked your GPA and you might not get the salutatorian spot that you’re so close to. You should’ve joined The Plain Brown Wrapper your freshman year and you would’ve had five years of language arts. Even though people tell you those things don’t matter, you know its a failure on your part to fall short on something you very easily could’ve achieved. You knew that these things w...
