funniest picture ever....found it on a hard drive

bowling with the cutest kids alive

found in a bag behind some furniture

So, I used to make these little watercolors all the time. I miss doing it. They aren't masterpieces, but I really like them. I think I'll make more.

BFA show. bad timing....good show

2 things

1. Above is some fabric I dyed and silkscreened. It inspired the fabric that I made and reupholstered my orange chair in.

2. A quote that I just came across. I've always loved it.
"Art is much less important than life, but what a poor life without it."
Robert Motherwell

aw

and here's another one

um...could there be a better movie?!

So I need to work on my website and i decided to watch this gem. Strippers (jenna Jameson being the head stripper) get infected with a disease that turns them into zombies. Apparently being a zombie makes the girls able to strip better than ever before. They strip a whole lot and in between songs they each kill a guy (in varying bloody ways). Could there be a more brilliant idea or a more entertaining movie? I say not a chance!

Some stuff.

aw

My mom's favorite picture of herself. So cute. Wish I had the negative.

The first of many

ISO 3200.....i love this camera!

fitting....

cr2

so i love my 50d, but the raw format isn't readable by cs3 and the adobe dng converter doesn't even work with them. i'm not sure what i'm supposed to do.

Too much? I say no way!

So....I'm back at this web design thing (actually I'm monitoring the digital lab at the moment and am taking a break from the web design thing to blog). I was going to get all involved and have things open and look all cool etc. I ran out of time and wound up using an older idea that, it turns out, I really love. It's not going to be my official site because I'm not sure if I did all the saving etc. correctly, but it's as close as you can get to my apartment without actually entering my apartment. All it really needs is a wood grain thermos and a low-rider orange and brown striped couch and it's perfect!

i hate web design

The color is all weird as soon as I save for web. It's taking me so long to do every little thing and then when I check it, it's inevitably wrong which means I have to not only change the original file, but all the html files no longer work. I know I'm doing it the long and wrong way, but it's so damn confusing.

silkscreen sketches

THE best thrift store find EVER

And here it is. The best thrift store purchase EVER. only $5, and they threw in a lovely painting of a black horse which I presume was done by the same artist, but pales in comparison to the painting that I fondly refer to as: The Cat Lady.

decision made/i love ebay!!

i decided on the 50D....and i sold my olympus equipment on Ebay for way more than a camera shop trade in would have offered....i love ebay!
