Time out

I'm taking a couple of days off. I need a break and I'm hoping that a complete change of scenery will spark some much needed artistic inspiration.

It's a wrap

I created some B movie poster wrapping paper to wrap up a moviemaker pal's birthday presents.








What's inside? Well you'll have to wait 'til the party to find out.







Update (8/22/10): The party's over now, so I can tell you that the gift was a tripod and carrying case.

Attitude is everything

This piece was a slight detour on the way to completing A Kodak moment. It was a donation to Nuit du Sang, a fundraiser for the Animal Rescue Foundation (A.R.F.).

A Kodak moment

I've decided what I'll be working on next. It's a one of a kind picture based on a photo of friend. The photo was taken on the vacation she took last year. It's the happiest I've ever seen her look. I think that's an important moment to capture and preserve.

I've started planning and sketching it all out in my mind, but I haven't put anything on the canvas just yet. I'll make a physical start on it over the next couple of days.

In some ways this is the most ambtious, most personal piece I've ever done. It feels like the stakes are that much higher when the subject matter is someone I know. Plus I'm going to be giving it to her as a surprise gift.
