van gogh flowers

To see far is one thing: going there is another.

this is an old painting i did many years ago, but it's always been one of my favorites. my first ever acrylic painting. it's interesting to see how my style has progressed yet remained true to its roots since then.

i'm excited for the upcoming weeks, let's just say i've got a career starter and things are falling wonderfully into place. =]

portrait-ish

Life is short, art long, opportunity fleeting, experience treacherous, judgement difficult.

acrylic paint. so not sure if i like this one or not, but thought i'd post it anyway. i also made a new header yesterday, check check it.

look at that messy room. ick.

i've been reading art and fear, its pretty interesting and entirely true. i'd recommend it to any aspiring artist of any medium.

buy it here. =)

BIG news

so i've been incredibly busy lately, but GOOD NEWS! i am now beginning my career, thank goodness. haha. i'm the new illustrator and graphic designer for atlanta girl magazine! i love it! it's so exciting and i'm so lucky and proud to be working for/with something with such a great purpose. but anyways! enough bragging.

the beginnings of a painting, i'm thinking pastel yellows, pinks, and browns. i had to darken the photograph a lot so you could see the drawing.

look at that adorable baby boy! i love him. he checks out his mommy's work all the time. =]

i have been super busy, but im not sure what/if i should post anything ive been working on for the magazine, i'd rather not just yet. keep you waiting! maybe it will entice you to purchase the magazine when it comes out?!

be on the lookout for great things soon from yours truly, i've got a few tricks up my sleeves for the next month or so. (maybe an art show? maybe a banner on a website? stay tuned!)

advice from a caterpillar

two down, one to go! but i ran out of medium so the final one will have to wait until tomorrow.

i wanted to go with something that was not so obvious, and kind of round about alice in wonderland. what do you think the last one will be!? hehe

off with her head!

so the thread and canvas event went really well! it was a blast and a great turn out! thanks to everyone who came! cant wait to do the next one! only next time i want to have real paintings ready to purchase, i'm not a big fan of this whole art print deal. it just doesn't compare to the real thing, you know?

in other news, if you aren't busy on wednesday you should come on by east side lounge and support me and my girl cora! this is kind of like my dream show, everyone knows i am an alice in wonderland fiend. (although not so stoked on the movie coming out, hope it doesn't ruin this childhood favorite, tim burton already ruined a fabulous ray bradbury story (in my opinion, sorry if you liked the film! don't be mad at me!))

hope to see you there! it's always a great cause to support your local artists! (we really appreciate it! haha)
