    Done.

    Finished my project yesterday. I was thinking about making more similar pieces, but Alex really liked the two other blue fairy pictures I had up, and liked having different shades of blue, so I decided to keep them there instead. More time to work on illustrating 😉 I think I might draw them all on…

  • In the Works

    In the Works

    The other day I went and reorganized the location of a lot of my paintings, and decided I wanted to make a more coherent/designy living room piece to replace the 16×20 fairies and 11×14 still life that are currently sitting above the tv. I’ve always wanted to live somewhere that had some semblance of intentional…

  • Art Journaling: I want to be

    Art Journaling: I want to be

    I want to be the eccentric 60 year old with sapphire hair and kind eyes. When I’m 50 I want to not care I will be me I will learn life’s lessons and love freely. I want to be a vibrant 30 and 40 year old living adventurously. I want to be a graceful 20…

  • One Year (of Painting)

    One Year (of Painting)

    Last year, today, I started painting. I took my first painting lesson and painted some flowers in a vase. So I thought, that it would be fun to put up my first painting, and my last painting side by side.  I didn’t paint today, so it’s not *exactly* a 8/25-8/25 year, but it’s close, and…

  • Touch Up

    Touch Up

    My Twilight Pixie painting was featured in a treasury today, and I had one of those “oh, it’s still there?!?!” moments. It’s been hanging in my bedroom and I kept meaning to do some touch up painting on it and make it look better (because, well, honestly it looked pretty bad, but was great for…

  • Thanks Mr. Marketing Book

    Thanks Mr. Marketing Book

    Yesterday I spent the afternoon reading the most boring (and it’s not that boring) of the books from my most recent library trip. Low Budget Marketing For Small Businesses which talked a lot about websites and the internet (obviously). The book is a little old (2003) but I figured some ideas would probably help. Although, I…

  • Library l00t

    Library l00t

    I went to the library today and got on a book binge. I brought back so many books that I thought I was going to have to put some back, and bought a library bag when I realized that there probably wasn’t much of a book limit and my 7 6 (I really can count) books…

  • First Draft: Done

    First Draft: Done

    I finished the first draft of my screenplay! I printed it yesterday and started storyboarding with pencil in the margins. It’s an interesting process – much different than story writing. You can’t use any of the cop-outs that you can writing a narrative. You can’t say “They talked and became good friends” you have to…

  • Crash Course Challenge days 5 & 6

    Crash Course Challenge days 5 & 6

    Friday was hectic, but I managed to finish most of the Modernism section of isms and today I finished the book with Post Modernism. Interestingly, Modernism in general seemed to focus more on the impacts of the sub/unconscious while Post-Modernism seemed to focus more on the idea and concept of art and stemmed from opinions…

  • Apartment Therapy

    Apartment Therapy

    So, apparently, my creativity has decided to channel itself into working on my apartment. Yesterday I tackled my office, and today, I started cleaning, and then started organizing my kitchen (after getting all the boxes ready to go to the recycling centre). The issue with my kitchen has always been where to put things –…
