Warmth

The warmth has returned but perhaps for only a day or two, once again tricking the poor flowers into bloom. But I'll take what I can get (:

Business Card

So last night I couldn't sleep and decided to, instead of wasting my time lying in bed, create my "business card". 

I plan on photo-transferring it onto handmade paper but that's still to come...

My Etsy Store!

After much crafting and preparation, I finally set up my Etsy store, something I've been meaning to do for months now. My need for funds became very crucial. 

The Whimsical Graphic Designer

Harmen Liemburg brought himself and his work to NC State Last week.

He said most of his inspiration comes from cliches found everywhere. What struck me as odd was that he doesn't create or design his own figures or forms, just combines those already in existence. It still makes for a playful composition that I am envious of.

Sabrina Ward Harrison

For my design culture and context class we were instructed to write about an artist who inspires us...

In life, the optimum feeling we as humans feel is joy. To record and remember that joy as well as to convey it in new situations is an incredible and rewarding feat. To be able to do this while at the same time acknowledging our digression in society brought about by technology and wastefulness is something I strive for and respect. Sabrina Ward Harrison is an artist who works along these ideals. She reports on “the electrifying experience of being” and addresses the fading cultural landscape of our country and our interconnectedness as human beings. Through her journals and mixed media work involving photography, sound, collage, film, and found objects, she creates inspired by the beauty in the landscape and the world.  She believes we need to be brought home to the presence of our living, a notion that both coincides with my ideals and invigorates my soul.

Spring has come and gone

Most people discuss the weather when they have nothing to talk about. I'm discussing the weather because it effects the way I see the world. In a matter of days the weather went from 18 degrees, to 80 degrees, and back down again. Ah well, it was fun while it lasted.

The Littlest Things

I've been restless lately. Unable to sleep with too many things on my mind. Today I was driving home from the mall and I caught someone's eye next to me. He smiled and waved. I waved back. It wasn't creepy, just friendly. And it's those little things that make me happy, that make life joyful. Thank you to that gentleman.
