Photo Series Three: Isobel

Abstract Art Title Generator

To avoid the frustration involved when titling your artwork, here's a site to guide you. I'm loving some of these titles. I want to use these examples and illustrate from them. The process of naming your work before it is even created.

Photo Series Two: Plastic Surgery

I went to a seminar in Harrisburg over the weekend in a beautiful building, but I decided to take pictures of my broken car instead.









I'm lucky I don't have a broken face.

Photo Series One: Winter Vention

A term taken from the Pier One sale and my whole reason for driving out to Altoona today. And there in the middle of a bitter January snowstorm was a glimpse of Summer...






Nothing beats a Root beer Float during arctic weather... And I thought "frozen" referred to the yogurt.

Resurgence

Spending these final days with the year end transformation already in motion, including a signed contract authorizing the publication of my work next month!

As part of this changeover phase I've decided to commit to the weekly photo project suggested last year, but with a purpose. Every week I'll venture out, until I've uploaded 52 themed photo series.

So with that said, here's a taste of my strangest new year celebration to date. Consider it a prelude...


Ice sculptures line the streets with Resolutions stringed together at the corner, and beer served in classy stemware.


Strangers chant in unison with pool sticks in hand, counting down with brief anticipation.

Aaaand a flaming hockey puck tattoo in lieu of the Winter Classic. Yes, it really does look that stupid, but it's only temporary.

And a Happy New Year to you.

This is For You

I made a collage for my niece-to-be (any day now). I found an adorable rabbit that I absolutely had to use right away. I constructed an entire forest scene around this one stuffed bunny image. This is by far my favorite.


I just finished this yesterday for my grandmother. I combined everything for this one; the background I painted mixing ink and water, used my ink pen for the swirly leaf stems, drew the rose with a charcoal pencil, and added the cut-out images. I hope she likes it.

"It's like porn for book nerds"

Never have I reached such squealing potential until Candida Hofer's LIBRARIES was laid into my hands.


Incredible photographs of some of the most beautifully constructed libraries in the world.


And the books! Have you seen the books!?
Seriously drooling here.
