All the work up there took a while to get used to. I first hug BAM and felt like it was way to much color. So it took a while to get the rest of them up there.

Wall Art Finished!
Finally, after a few months of the project just sitting on the floor my comic inspired wall art is finished and hanging.
All the work up there took a while to get used to. I first hug BAM and felt like it was way to much color. So it took a while to get the rest of them up there.
And I love the Kablam!! It's a call back to my child hood. the show Kablam was a great way to spend some time laughing.

Silly Apps
I just came across a silly app that lets you transform photos into posters. It made my freaking day.
So I figured that it would be great fun to make posters with pictures of my friends.
Those double made my day. It was an enjoyable way to waste some time. And reminded me of why I freaking love my friends.

Wall Decor and Toys
Work has continued on my wall decorations.
I'm excited to see them on my walls, but it looks like they're going to take much more time than previously thought.
That Lego set is called "Forest Police Pursuit" which made me laugh. It's the most interesting leg set I've seen since the garage set I always wanted as a kid. In one of the pictures, a bear has the bad guy caught up a tree.

Sightings
A short trip around my home town today revealed some fun sightings. The world is a greatly colorful place. Makes it doubly fun to play with the photo editing apps on my phone.
I'm very fond of Stater Brothers. They've got some great prices, solid produce and wonderful meat selection. And in this picture the meat is extra amazing as you can see from the energy rays shooting out of their meaty beings. It just calls you in saying "Buy me, eat me!" Sometimes I wonder if I should have been a butcher... perhaps I have missed my calling.
Also on tap for the day was picking up a piece I had placed in the Riverside Art Museum's annual Off the Wall showing.
This year it appeared that there were an unfortunate number of still there in the end, meaning there weren't as many sales as last year. Effect of the down economy? Caused by the changed pricing system? Most likely. Low Quality, I doubt it. There were lots of peices that I found I really liked. Some day I'll have purchasing power and will support the local artists and the Riverside Art Museum.
My piece was placed inside one of the normal wall display areas. This was both a good feeling and a bad one. On one side, it was cool to see my piece on display the way a normal show piece might be displayed. As if it was part of a long term show.
I was unhappy with it though because I prefer that sculptures be placed out in the open so they can be viewed from all sides. Since I'd made then baby Stone Gollumn out of clay and painted it on all sides It really was mean to be out on a table or a pedestal. Yet it wasn't, and it didn't get sold. I was hoping to have sold a peice yet again, as I had sold one last year. Perhaps I'll be more lucky next year.
Its no longer common to see a blacksmith anywhere. At one point I'm sure that it was a much more called upon position. But thanks to modern technology it seems as if the career has died out. So I was completely shocked today to see an anvil attached to the back of a work truck. It's an awesome sighting.

Wall Decor
The first project of the year has begun. For quite sometime now I've been wanting to pay homage to my love for comics. Something that I've always been in love with are the word bubbles that used to pop up during the Batman TV shows and were sprinkled in original comics. Naturally the internet was scoured to find reference images and I settled on these two,
And the next step was to purchase some wood, I went with tempered hardboard, and then start drawing and cutting. Tomorrow begins the painting part of this adventure. And that is the scariest part. As a child I was always least happy with the coloring potion of the activity. Could draw something to my satisfaction, but when I colored it there was always something off.

That Wonderful First
About ME
I'm a California girl and have spent majority of my life living in the fine town of Riverside. I am a driven, energetic, positive individual. I live my life with the understanding that goodness is a by product of positive actions and thoughts. This leads me to continually attempt to cultivate a positive and effective manner in my life.
Education
I graduated from Chapman University in Orange, California with my Bachelors Degree in Theatrical Studies. My time there was priceless to me. I studied everything I could, from Theatre to Anthropology, Psychology to Food Science, and even the Ancient Greek Language. I am currently pursuing a Masters Degree in Occupational Therapy.
Aspirations
It is my greatest hope to lead a life that I can be proud of. I want nothing more than to look back, see the choices I made, and know that they were the right ones no matter where I end up. I believe that the journey is just as important as getting to the destination.
That being said, I am currently juggle my education with my art hobbies through acting, puppetry, and video creation. Crafting and Ceramics will always have a spot in my heart. I enjoy sewing, crochet, and anything involving clay. I have found working with my hands to be the most challenging and enjoyable work that I could hope for.
