why i stopped going to ryerson.
My friend Radek, who according to his site is a media technologist, artist and visual designer, who holds a Bachelor of Arts (with honours BTW) from Ryerson University, and has worked in numerous areas of the media industry for almost 10 years, decided to draw me a little picture today of a rocket in space. Here's why I think Ryerson ripped him off:

agooska says:
what are the blue dots?
radek says:
they're stars
agooska says:
the stars and the sun? my gosh, what on earth are you drinking?
radek says:
what do you want, child?! And the sun is where if not in SPACE, huh!?!
radek says:
pshss, she think she’s an astronaut!
agooska says:
Yah but if you have stars, you should have the moon too, riiiiight? At least that’s how my mom always taught me.
radek says:
yah but the sun and the moon are BOTH in space!!
radek says:
my god, child = go back to SCHOOL!
agooska says:
well then why do you have one and not the other, huh?
agooska says:
revise it please! ...sheesh, no wonder my mom had no comment ... she was thinking: “what an idiot - the stars and the sun.”

ok, so now where did your stars go?
radek says:
to hell!!
agooska says:
hahahaha, to hell with your arts degree!! You got ripped off, go get your money back!
And that, my friends, is why I stopped going to Ryerson.
I was eating lunch today with a few friends from work in the boardroom, and Janice, who read this post this morning, said to me: Isn't that Radek's sun and moon? Referring to the following piece of art.
I wonder if the artist of this piece had a Bachelor of FINE Arts from Ryerson University.

FINE then! ...still think they ripped you off.
are u sure he's not just using acting skills in this drawing by getting into a child's character!?
Radek? A child? niepossible!
I wasn't making fun of your art, Radek, honestly, truly, cross my heart. But there are similarities ....
see that's the adult version of sun and moon...so I was right...in art you always have to fall into a character...in this case..of a child ;) anyway you look at it it's art.
Oh yes, now I can tell that it was a Fine Arts Degree. Fine words, my friend - cookie?
