happy friday!

There are just too many things to love about this image, I wish I had the original source (anyone know?).  While streaking into the forest is not on my list of plans this weekend, I’m sure we’ll come up with something.  Have a great weekend!  I am planning on adding several new originals to my [...]

Obsessed With

Searching For Sugarman.  We watched it this past weekend and I can’t get it out of my mind.  The story of this man is beyond unbelievable (you couldn’t write this) and inspirational.  That a man could have such a huge impact on the world and never be aware of it really struck me.  See it, [...]

wise words

“The advice I like to give young artists, or really anybody who’ll listen to me, is not to wait around for inspiration. Inspiration is for amateurs; the rest of us just show up & get to work. If you wait around for the clouds to part & a bolt of lightning to strike you in [...]

Loving obsessively

the idea of this trip.  You see, I have a fondness from watching the world pass by through a window.  It may have something to do with the long road trips my family used to take every summer across the country when I was a kid (vw camper van and all).  I think I’ve seen [...]

My Weekend Inspiration

Over the weekend I watched this amazing documentary about one of my favorite artists, Gerhard Richter.  I loved it, I could watch him paint for hours and hours.  So interesting to watch someone else work, so many of the things he said really resonated with me.  I particularly related to his feeling on being watched [...]

Italy (favorite spot)

Our hands down favorite spot in Italy was San Martino.  Usually a hotel/b&b doesn’t live up to the website or your expectations, but San Martino went beyond ours.  I’ve tried to explain to people why and to be honest I’m not quite sure.  The aesthetic of this agriturismo is surely part of it, my favorite [...]

I have grand plans for my ‘quiet’ week.  I’m not usually one to work late at night, but recently I have been loving the quiet nights around here.  So this week my evenings are going to be about making new work.  Here’s a sneak peak… p.s. I haven’t been this excited about a new series [...]
