On Thursday night Sam and I headed to the Art Walk. This Art Walk seemed more enthusiastic than the last one. Perhaps this was only due to the positive beginning. Unlike other walks we decided to eat first. We circled 8th until the clock hit 6 and parking opened up right in front of […]
Trying times
This could be considered a sad update to the last post. As detailed in the previous blog entry, I had sketched out this complicated weird perspective piece. I always take on more than I think I can handle with these paintings, forcing myself to learn/paint new things. However, this time it was just too much. […]
Alice in Wonderland
Now that the Lovers show is up (look for my Art Walk review with my piece in the Hive show next Friday) the time has come to worry about the next show. Of course, I’d been trying to wrap my brain around it for a while. Once again I misunderstood the theme. In the […]
This is for you, mom
As I get older I notice that I already start to feel older than I really am. I often think about how “I’m 30” even though that statement won’t be true for over another two months. This feeling probably has less to do with how my body feels and more to do with my perception […]
Southern California Fires
I had to fire someone for the first time yesterday. Ironically I ended up having to (getting to?) do it via email since the employee was off site and didn’t respond to my phone calls. Since this position was/is important we immediately re posted the job ad on craigslist. I get the strangest emails from […]
Art Walk January
Another second thursday – another art walk downtown. Once again, I drove to Sam’s office to pick her up. I decided to take a new route to try and avoid traffic, which was maybe five miles longer and looped around downtown – but was much quicker. This put me on the 5 south connecting to […]
Hive January
Attended the Hive Tarot show tonight. There were a lot of interesting pieces. This is one of their most popular themed group shows. I got there around 10pm and it was really hard to move around; a good thing for artists getting their name out, but a bad thing for me casually perusing the […]
new post
Someone near and dear noticed last night that I haven’t posted a lot lately. I’d like to say I’ve been busy – but that is really only half true. I’ve been sick for the last week and haven’t felt like doing much of anything (productive). That’s the second illness in four months… Before last September […]
I want my 15 minutes too!
So … why is this a major news story? It already happened to me FIVE YEARS AGO!
Dad’s Birthday
Tuesday was both my parents’ last full day of their visit and my father’s birthday. We had breakfast at Hart’s Coffee Shop before heading to Vasquez Rocks. What is Vasquez Rocks, you ask? Well… that’s where evil Bill and Ted killed the real Bill and Ted. More famously it’s where this interspecies miscommunication happened: […]
