30 Day Challenge Pt. 2/3

In which I sing songs, read to you, and go on a sculpture tangent. If I were doing it on Tumblr like you're supposed to it might be easier, but I'm sticking to YouTube.

•Day 11 — A photo of you taken recently : High school pic, junior year I think. I'm camera shy. And, I just realized recent pics are scarce because I just moved back home after a long absence.
•Day 12 — Whatever tickles your fancy : Jean Tinguely, the man who made me forever dissatisfied of sculptures that don't move.
•Day 13 — A fictional book : "The Master Mosaic Workers" by George Sand. I picked up the book because it was a hundred years old, in good shape, and ten dollars. But it turns out, George Sand is awesome. My old landlady said I reminded her of Sand, and she gave me a cigar.
•Day 14 — A non-fictional book : "On Being Born & Other Difficulties" by F. Gonzalez-Crussi, one of my favorite essayists. A very romantic doctor.
•Day 15 — A fanfic : What? Do I dig out the old Clopin stuff?
•Day 16 — A song that makes you cry (or nearly) : "Hold Me Now" by the Thompson Twins, which is why I never made a video of it, though it's a nice one to whip out by the camp fire.
•Day 17 — An art piece (painting, drawing, sculpture, etc.) If you haven't heard of Lee Bontecou, you haven't taken a single art class. She's kind of over-used, actually. You'd think there were more authentically inspired female artists throughout history.
•Day 18 — Whatever tickles your fancy : Trimpin, because now I've gone on an artist-kick. I discovered him at the Henry five years ago, and a few days after, my friend Anna visited his studio because she had a friend who apprenticed for him. Agh!
•Day 19 — A talent of yours : disputable, but I like making stuff out of metal. Pictured are "Tentaskull," "Genus Hydrocephalus II" and "Petit Mort" back view.
•Day 20 — A hobby of yours : Since not having facilities for sculpture, I'm rediscovering drawing. "Witches Coven", "better dragons than the void", "Failure to Launch"

Now try it yourself, if you dare.
