I’ve been selfishly wearing one of these necklaces for over a month now, but it’s finally available in the store. Handmade, of course.
Not to mention the shop’s been re-redone. Yay! Oh, I guess I just mentioned it.
AND If you’re in Chicago, and happen to stop by the awesome Renegade Handmade store, you’ll find some of [...]
Dear 2008,
You started out like every year, fresh and full of hope. Like a blank sketchbook.
Each day was like filling a page with drawings, photos, and writing. At the end of the day I could look over the page and see how the day was spent.
Sometimes it was a good day, the page was [...]
Hope is a funny thing, and anyone alive has it.
I put a red blindfold over this boy’s eyes. He could be looking straight ahead, or down at the ground, but that’s not the point. The point is, he’s pulling what he has to get out of the dirt and as long as he has [...]
Each time I add a darker wash to layers, it creates an illusion of shadow and depth. It’s like I’m digging into the paper with a brush to create a indentation even though I’m actually building layers on top of layers. That’s one of my favorite things about using watercolors. Also the major ones [...]
I went from wanting to update everyday to developing a slight fear of updating the blog altogether. I mean, if I’m quiet for a week, I better have something good to show. Then another week goes by. And another. And here I am with almost nothing. The combination of the holidays, my job, and the [...]
‘Goodbye Letter’ all framed and pretty in my kitchen this morning, before I took it to the gallery. I’m just not sure if I’m ready to say goodbye. It might not sell, so maybe I won’t have to. This will be one of the three pieces in the holiday show, soon.
I got this tiny laptop and it came with a webcam attached to the lid, so I’ve been using it a little bit for live painting on Stickam. I don’t really have a schedule but I’ve been painting more often. I’m kinda nervous about people seeing me work but I’ve really wanted to do live [...]
It was so pretty, I didn’t wanna leaf.
This is what you do when you don’t know what to do with yourself: you run away and roll around in dirt. I went on a walk at the park today because it was a really nice day. Everyone is always so surprised when it gets warm all [...]
I was lucky enough to be a part of the PikaPackage project this month.
Everyone has a chance to win a free package of lovely random art because Amy of PikaLand is doing a giveaway and will pick two random winners. But hurry because the giveaway ends Tuesday. If you’ve missed the giveaway, you can still [...]
There’s only 2 months left in the year.. I’m not ready for it to be over. And I still keep trying to write ‘2007′.
and
There so much …stuff. I feel your pain, Jon. But I don’t have a sock puppet to complain to!
