Book: Act or Die (notes)
In preparation for our film, aside from getting the camera equipment and such, we also bought a book (one of a few, I’m sure) called Act or Die. If the title isn’t a give-away it’s all about acting, but it’s also recommended for directors. It came in the mail today and I got about…

Discovering other Artists
The one thing that’s helped me the most on my artistic journey is reading other art blogs. Usually empty easel, but occasionally I find other resources. Sometimes unexpectedly. One piece of advice I hear a lot is to find an artist who inspires you, who you can learn from and look up to. As I’m…

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 …

Why Fairies?
“She’s my fairy” “But there’s no such thing as a f-” “Don’t say that. Every time someone says that, a fairy somewhere falls down dead!” – Peter Pan Fairies are strong beautiful creatures whose power keeps the world in order. They bring change, seasons, and put the world to sleep at night. They are timid,…

I have a plan!
It’s already time to start thinking about art shows for this year – I actually sent in an application to one show, but I won’t know if I’m in for a few weeks still. But as I was feeling weak all day I thought I would do myself a favor and plan out what I…

Valentines Day
Something I noticed about Valentines day is that the guys usually go unnoticed. Not that I’m complaining about having AWESOME Valentines days, because I do, and Alex makes sure of that… but I love him too, and don’t want to be the only one feeling special today. So I got him Valentines. Not chocolates or…

Illustration Portfolio
Today we went to Michaels and I finally bought myself a portfolio for my illustrations! There are plenty of pages so it will actually just become my watercolor portfolio. Now my pictures have a safe place to live and I can show them off to anyone who’d like to see it in real life. I…

Progress (Already!)
Last month, around this time, I wrote three posts of things I want to do/accomplish this year personally, artistically, and with my book. Personally, I’ve done two (3 if you count the oregon trip as a personal vacation and not a couples one) – I’ve gotten myself a bathing suit that I look *cute* in…

Bad Artist
So I didn’t do anything today or yesterday…because yesterday I had my first ever massage and body wrap which was utterly and completely amazing! Today we mostly hung out, so I don’t have an excuse besides just being tired. Tomorrow I’ll be getting my finished ceramics and packing, but I *might* still be able to…

Painting Ceramics
Today we went to a pottery place and painted our own ceramics. They’ll bake them and gloss them and give them back to us on Friday. I made my very own tea set (because I don’t actually own one). First I was just going to make these two cups… But as we went along, the…
