In other news...
I have been working on two new paintings and I have finished Plateau [Plagioclase Feldspar]...finally, considering I started the underpainting before I moved in 2011, hah.  I will post images when I have access to a camera that isn't my mobile phone ;)  These days, however, I am picking up the pace, spending the majority of my free time working/thinking/planning, and preparing for Downtown Bowling Green's apARTment in March and Toledo's Automatic 419! in April.

lately

Saturday we went to a junkyard in Bowling Green, Ohio so that my boyfriend Craig's band (The Fight Within) could get promotional pictures taken. Being there was rather inspirational for me. I thought about composing sculptures made of junk so that I could have something interesting to paint (I like to paint/draw still-life, I think that it might be what I like to do the most). This would be me exercising another level of creative control over my work, haha.

*I want to note that the junkyard owner is a drunkard with a thyroid problem (we think). The dude reminded me of the farmer who gets possessed by an alien at the very beginning of the movie Men in Black.

I'm working on collages with the maps and stuff that Sara gave me.
I've decided to give this one to her because she is my best friend:


I need to finish that painting for dad. I need to go home and visit dad.
