It’s been a while I know…not posting on my blog does not mean that I have stopped producing art though. I have a sketch in the current issue of underground art school‘s magazine! I was pretty excited to be a part of this magazine! To preview or purchase, just click the image above!

does it get any better than this? ive been burning to create this sort of performance/living art for a few months now. one of my plans is to place an empty strip of primed canvas in a highly trafficked area and let the canvas be created by the elements its surrounded by. essentially…leave a snail trail. i cannot express to you how much seeing Semâ Bekirovic‘s piece excites me!

Found via nazara lazaro via joanne

clementine forest.

clementineforest

as i was eating my first clementine for the day (thanks to abby for my new addiction to them), i noticed the little trees that they contained within the peel. i foresee a softground etching in the future! these would make perfect little tree imprints onto a plate to etch….im excited with the ideas and possibilities that my little clementine forest contains!

“elle- humour” a picture box book by julie doucet

a limited edition print from little paper planes by hannah stouffer

{jonathan trimmed his beard recently, and i plan to cut my hair…seemed appropriate since hair has been the topic of alot of our conversations lately}

happy valentines day!

here…i’ll share some inspiration with you

cody hoyt’s work is impeccable, and the processes behind them seem tedious….his dedication to a single piece of work can only raise your appreciation for what he’s doing here. most of his pieces involve many layers onto one work of art { including: silkscreen, etching, gouache, and lithography to name a few}.

encouragingwords_317

here are some of my favorite words of encouragement submitted to boooooooom’s free encouragement project. this is a project that they are doing in collaboration with design for mankind that is running through the end of december.  they plan on doing something with these words at the end of the year, but they have yet to say what that is.

if you want to submit your words of encouragement you still have time.  it can be a sneaky way to say the way you feel about someone/encourage them.  ive submitted mine…but you probably cant pick it out from the rest because theyre all so moooshy!

“smile dee-dee”

raine has two imaginary friends that she has known since she was two:. dee-dee (the nice one) and tada (pronounced Tah-dah, like the word you used to say as a kid when you finished something amazing; shes the misfit of the two imaginary girls).

the other morning, dee-dee temporarily came to life in the form of a shadow. raine drew her on our frosty glass door and we were pleasantly surprised to see the shadow ghost on the wall next to her. so when i got the camera out, she grabbed dee-dee’s imaginary shadow hand, then turned to her and said “smile dee-dee”.

celine clanet

i only thought i was done posting for today until i came across celine clanet’s photography via humble arts foundation, then i couldnt resist! {confession: in love i am}

{pod}

i found this one morning while walking raine to school. im not sure what it is, or where it came from, but it was beautiful. raine was just dying to break it open…

martha rich

i love this entry in martha rich’s sketchbook…i wish i had a scanner.

kevin christy

i found kevin christy via camilla engman’s blog. im not sure if its his use of paper, his color choices, or subject matter, but something about his works snags me and sucks me in…i love its strange quality of not really knowing whats going on…love it.

inspiration in the forest…

photos from a walk in the woods…these may quite possibly show up in some later works…nature is definitely inspiring…
