Friends in May

Tee Pee

2011-11-02T11:28:00.000-07:00

I've been a lazy Internet piece of shit about blogging lately, nevertheless, I feel like my recent art project is definitely worth the effort. My friends Karen and Jesse recently exchanged vows October 1st in Villa Rica, Ga at Sunset Ranch.

Not only was I lucky enough to be invited, but I was asked, along with my new great friend and amazing artist, Patricia Patterson to make a ceremonial Tee Pee for the wedding. Karen brought it up months before the wedding that she desired a tee pee for her and Jesse's wedding. With help from Patricia's book Wildwood Wisdom, we embarked on the big tee pee project 4 weeks prior to the big day. Working on it every chance we had, before work, after work, days off, we finally accomplished what seems to be, to me anyway, the coolest tee pee ever.

Yep, ever. Materials included: Yards and yards of muslin cloth, bamboo cut down from Karen and Jesse's back yard, paint, and a hand drawn pattern from Wildwood Wisdom. For most of the tee pee construction we worked in Karen and Jesse's back yard, right next to the basement where one of my favorite Atlanta bands Black Lodge have band practice, so we had live entertainment as well! It was a super gratifying and fun project to say the least. It turned out to be way cooler than expected and quite a spectacle on the big day.

FEATHER HUNT

Now hanging on the walls of Carroll St. Cafe in Cabbagetown, is my new series of paintings called "Feather Hunt". It will be up for the month of April, so go see it! If you want to talk to me in person about it, come to the opening Tuesday April 12, 9pm.

Predator

I recently finished working on an album cover for my friend's band, Predator. It's their first LP, so I'm stoked to have done the art for it. AND, it happens to be one of my favorite Atlanta bands..score x 2. It will be available to purchase in March at Douchemaster Records. Buy you one.

The Cocktail Hour

2010-07-26T15:07:00.000-07:00

My friend and coworker Sara has been helping me study. Does making a few rounds of cocktails at home count as studying? Absolutely, yes. Our first session of "The Cocktail Hour" was a blast. More episodes to come...because studying is fun!

Chips and Cola

2010-07-20T16:54:00.000-07:00

I really do love the simple things in life. Simple I guess to others, awesomeness to me. My friend has black and white striped chickens in his back yard..wah? They are pretty cool. Anyway, I collected the fallen feathers from them knowing they would make rad earrings. Guess what? They did. I added some new earrings to my Chips and Cola Etsy today, including those rad feather earrings. Check it out.

It's been too long.

2010-06-15T00:18:00.000-07:00

I've been up to quite a bit the past few months. Blogging is not one of these activities.

Spirit of the wolf

2010-03-17T15:33:00.000-07:00

I just finished a new painting, a commission for friends Jesse and Karen. When describing what kind of painting he wanted, all Jesse said was, "don't do any of your cute shit" so, hopefully this works.

Word.

80's

2010-02-03T00:27:00.000-08:00

80's nostalgia is like no other, for sure. Ha, for sure. I closed the restaurant tonight with Pandora on Cars radio, who could be happier?

Favorite artist of the day

2010-01-26T23:19:00.000-08:00

Lately, I've been wondering around the webs looking for inspiration (I think that's what it is, inspiration, or something to pass the time maybe). This week I discovered an artist that made my heart beat a little faster.

Wool and Water I found on ETSY. Fell in love....why? cause they are crazy sweet doll decorations that come in a kit...you then assemble the adorable creations yourself. After rent is paid, I will be purchasing a couple of these kits, oh yes indeedy.

Squash Blossom

2010-01-12T07:16:00.000-08:00

Yay! Squash Blossom in Decatur square, will be carrying some of my handmade jewels. The collection consists of mostly earrings along with a couple of necklaces. I've always been a big fan of Squash Blossom, so I'm pretty excited to have my collection in there....yippie! My jewelry will be on display mid to late January....go check it out.

2009...suck it.

2010-01-06T08:20:00.000-08:00

I don't want to start a New Year's blog with too much negativity, so all I'm going to say is 2009, suck you...that's it. Love you 2010!
Already in the new year I have seen great changes take place in my life. As soon as I took out the trash, the morphing began...and to this I am super grateful. My friends, family and co-workers have been so supportive...I heart them. Oh, and Busta too.

For Sale!

Elephant Lineup is so dear to me! I become very attached to my paintings, especially when they contain elephants. I was going to keep this one, but decided to put it on etsy. It's FOR SALE, along with many other delightful circus attractions.
