“I’ve always really liked art, but I wanted a real kind of job. I don’t
want to test to see if the whole idea of a starving artist is real, so
I’m studying architecture. Right now we’re working on shotgun
houses on a site in New Orleans. We literally started this today.
We’re determining how we want the layout to look. The thing is,
though, we have no clue actually what we’re doing. It’s been a
year and a half doing all solo work, so working with a partner is
something to get used to. I’ve only done it for a couple of hours
so I don’t know if I like it. There’s a lot of arguing. We have our
own ideas, and it’s tough to bring them all together in a sense.
We’re just going to kind of see how things go! The most we’ve
gotten is just drawing rectangles on a grid, but we have three
weeks to work on this thing.”
