Obsession

So I'm not feeling so great, swine flu? maybe. Tired, among other things and feeling unmotivated. For the first time in awhile I just want to lie on the couch and watch a movie but which one?
One of these? Thought so but decided I needed something a little less stunning. How many Cary Grant DVD's does one need? More, always more. This maybe a sign that I need professional help...

May

Spring cleaning. I was erasing pictures from my phone and I came across some my brother had taken. I like the glow they have, I wish I were that angelic in real life.
These are from my dad's birthday. Maybe it's the candle opera's in the background that make the setting. I think in the first one I'm telling them how much cake I want and how it needs to be cut to make me happy. I'm pretty demanding when it comes to cake. Happy Friday and welcome to May!

Win Some Lose Some

I was working on a stencil, didn't turn out so hot (imagine that...an omen?). Obviously, you can't win them all. I try not to use black in my pieces maybe it's a sign I lack the skill but I never have good luck when I use black. I prefer earth tones, but I can always change it, it will just have to be another day...

Meet Thane!

Thane is one of the contributing artist for the 'memo board.' It's turned into quite the project! Thane 'has been an artist for ten years, since he could hold a pen.' Below, you see him next to his masterpiece, a portrait of me, of course.
When asked what advice he could offer the world he responded humbly, "Don't be selfish." Words of the wise...

Moustache!

So I was doing some work in my studio and I couldn't resist this. Sharpies are to much fun. They are like duct tape, multipurpose...even good for body art! I'm being so productive today, no? At least this week is almost over.

Marketing

Yesterday I was grocery shopping and I went to buy some spaghetti sauce. I was looking at all the different brands trying to decide on which flavor I wanted. In the midst of decisions I was drawn to Paul Newman's brand, Newman's Own. I looked at the different flavors and I noticed that a couple of them had different packaging. Paul in the hat isn't that off base. After all, somedays you just need to spice things up with accessories. But, on the other awkwardly packaged sauce was a pair of hands grasping Paul's cheeks, maybe it is suppose to be his Italian grandma? I don't know, it just seemed silly. Is there some infamous Italian joke I'm not getting? I laughed anyway and I couldn't resist taking a photo. Good times.


Oh and just in case you were wondering, I went for pesto and tomato. Who can resist Paul in a hat, right? Sorry for the horrible photos.
