What’s it like being a Chair of an Academic Department? Sometimes you are doing paperwork, or meeting with students… or you are using duck-tape to fix an ottoman in the gallery…

A photograph of a black pleather ottoman in the background, a hand holds black duck-tape in the foreground. Tape used to fix the ottoman (where a student thought the surface of an ottoman was a GREAT place to cut mat board… what the hell…). Photo taken in the Cloyd Family Animation Center at Columbus College of Art and Design.

Same goes for art. You've got to learn the fundamentals, experience life, and draw draw draw.
