Oh I've seen that knit graffiti on the internet before.

I know exactly what you mean.
I love that skull thing. Is it a hat?? Now we all know what you are for Halloween, I think... a witch doctor!

It's pretty awesome.
Yeah, the teacher in my watercolor class was very good. She wasn't one of those pretentious idiot artists. She was very cool and laid back. Our assignments were always fun. Once we had to paint a pile of something. So I painted a pile of M&Ms. LOL... I wish i had all my paintings. My dad threw them all away.

when he moved in with my step-mom... I'm wondering now...
she probably threw them away...
Anyway, the other drawing class had this really pretentious teacher. He was a real jerk. I knew a girl in the class and he would only hire female models because he said the female body is beautiful and needs to be drawn, but not the male body. And he was very sexist and harrassing. Like he would tell the women in class if they had a nice rack... So once they had a graphics assignment where they had to draw something very large with something very small. So she drew a giant penis covered in litty tiny hands. LOL... it was her rebellion.

it was awesome!
I like your idea to create things when depressed and paint when manic. That may work!
