Freaking out, on a leash…

Sunday, March 7th, 2010

Yeah, that’s a Korn reference. Totally random coincidence. And corny. I don’t like Korn or corny. Corn is alright, though…
Okay!
The morning of February 29, 2004, my hair reached below my ass. In the afternoon of that day, when I had 10 inches of it cut, it was like cutting a leash. Almost literally because my [...]

Operation Organization

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

This little sketch was drawn with a red gel pen on Sunday, October 12, 2003. That’s what the file says, anyway. I have a folder on my external hard drive called “Ancient” and it has a few drawings like this.

That day, I was lying on the trampoline, looking at my mom’s little garden. It seemed [...]

Currents of a Thought Process

Saturday, January 9th, 2010

“Red Current” » 9″x12″ » watercolor/ink » original available – e-mail to buy

I created this painting during my last show in November. I had a lot on my mind, as usual. And it was hard to focus, as usual. So instead, I focused on my thought process as a whole, instead of individual thoughts running [...]

Make Waves in a Frozen River

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

I recorded this little video this morning of frozen Illinois River.

It used to flow, move, and now it’s just still. Like it’s dead. But only on the surface. Underneath the ice, no one can see that it still flows and moves.
Spring won’t come soon enough to thaw the ice so I can see the river [...]

Is it winter already?

And the award goes to.. me?!

Sunday, September 27th, 2009

Last weekend I was a part of two different art fairs. On Saturday I went to Macomb, IL. And on Sunday, I was in Quincy, IL. Until then, I’ve never been to either town. Each time I had to drive back home, 2 hour drive, 3 hour drive, back and forth.. Lots of getting up [...]

Am I not making any sense? Sorry, it must be the bubbles talking. They want me to tell you that this print is now available in the store.

Artsy weekend, naked toy

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

So… Art in the Park went great on Saturday. Weather was gorgeous, I won a Juror’s Choice award, and my booth was busy all the time so I barely had a chance to sneak out and look around.
Of course, Josh Dixon had his set up (Hey, you made it this time! You know I’ll never [...]

Art Fair Adventures

Sunday, August 16th, 2009

Because art fairs are unpredictable, it’s good to have a sturdy tent that can withstand sudden gusts of wind, storm, a little rain or a lot of rain.
I do not have one of those tents.
I told myself in the beginning that I will never pack up early. Of course, unless, the weather threatens my art, [...]

How did you get here?

“Long Stories” » watercolor & ink » 8″×10″ framed » available

Who do you trust with your life?
Family and friends? Doctors? Strangers in cars passing you while you’re driving on a 70-foot bridge at 65 miles per hour?
You trust your life to chance constantly, every day. Anything can happen at any moment. Everyone feels they’re in [...]
