Concept
The last few days I haven’t been feeling really great, and so I’ve been sleeping most of the day and awake most of the night. Wanting to paint (or even clean) but not having enough energy. Tonight though, I started feeling a little better – Alex cleaned the house for me before I told him…

untitled
So I have this great idea for an art card – a snow at night painting, with a fairy holding a lantern. But it’s too cold, grey, and dark outside for me to paint it (read: I’m too cold and tired). I also have another idea for my last 16×20 canvas…but again with the being…

Fire, rain, and sleepy Kiery
When the alarms went off it was raining outside and dark in the room – perfect combination for sleeping in, so I did…until I started hearing sirens. At first I thought there was just an alarm going off at Starbucks and they sent a truck, as always to check it out (almost always false alarms)…

Building Wings on the Way Down (Act or Die)
I finished Act or Die today and the biggest lesson I learned (aside from great tips and exercises that I’m willing to put to use to get to know *myself* not just for acting) was don’t act, BE. Be present in the moment, as the character – feel, act on your internal impulses – listen…

What's this?
A few weeks ago I wrote about a painting in my head, I did a rough version on an art card, and then moved on to the completed version. This is the preview – click the picture to see the completion, or go here.

The Gallery of Whimsy
After a few weeks of fighting with my shop (something about the update ate my visual editor) I decided to just start completely over and re launch my gallery of whimsy in a more fun place! I spent all night re-uploading the pictures (most of them, the pictures I recently re-shot with our canon T3i)…

Act or Die Notes #2
I read another quarter of the book today – out loud. As an aside, I never really noticed run-on sentences until I read aloud, then I was searching for periods so I could catch a breath. As I was reading I realized that I (like everyone else) subconsciously use grammar as cues to pause, breathe,…

Film and Stuff
For the last few days we’ve mostly been playing with our camera – and trying to not get sick. The second part hasn’t really worked out so well which is partly why I haven’t posted much. The other reason is because I spent all day on Monday cleaning and organizing the office and then making…

My Process
I like to call my process “painting in my head” – mostly because that’s the easiest and most apt way to put it. Sometimes I sit down and feel a painting out, and sometimes I use things for inspiration, but most of the time, I have the painting already in my head. I spend a…

New Camera
Our T3i came in, so now we can shoot video over the summer, but today, we were enjoying the photography part of the camera. Alex will probably have a detailed review up eventually so I’ll just show the awesomeness in pictures. Self Portrait Chinese Fortunes that I liked and put on the wall …
