Snow-capped

We’re covered with snow. I captured this dead plant with a cap of snow with my aperture open wide so that I could achieve a very blurred background. Edits in photoshop achieved this painted, grainy final piece. Thanks for following!

Inside, outside, upside-down

This week has been crazy! As I was putting my 365 images together, I was having trouble remembering what I did everyday. Twas a very fun week.

Peanut butter brownies

I was hoping to have something cool and leadership-y to share for this beautiful Martin Luther King Jr. day, but alas I don’t. Instead I will share with you the sugary, fattening and oh-so-delicious peanut butter brownies I made this evening. I found the recipe on The Chocolate Peanut Butter Gallery. This is probably the coolest website ever. Is there anything more heavenly than chocolate and peanut butter tangled up together on one’s tongue? Didn’t think so.

Project 365 2012: 01.16.12 Peanut butter brownies--Not to be too modest, but these were FREAKING DELISH! You can find the original recipe here.

And now I leave you all with two more meaningful and not so fattening quotes from the King himself.

Almost always, the creative dedicated minority has made the world better. ~Martin Luther King, Jr.
An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity. ~Martin Luther King, Jr.

Purple Chaos

I think I have a chaotic week ahead of me.  I’m going to strive to live in the moment and love the process.

Here is some art that came out of my brain over the past two days.

 

Project 365 2012 01.14.12: Straight Chaos--I'm not really sure where this came from, I just kept drawing lines...

Project 365 2012: 01.15.12 Purple view--Model: Elly Craig---The light was to beautiful today, I had to capture it. I love how her belt reflects off of her funky purple shirt on her right arm!

 

Enjoy your week and Martin Luther King Jr. Day!

Whispering loudly

I found this photo which I took during out first snow back in December. I can’t believe the perfect ring around these beautifully dancing trees.

They are dancing on the wind. Fearlessly showing themselves. Whispering loudly.

Screen printing!

AH! Today was an awesome day! I sat around in the basement in the dark with my family a lot. There were also some very interesting discussions which out of context would be extremely strange. However, I am not at liberty to discuss those discussions here…;( I’ll leave that up to your imaginations.

Me with my screen printer!

Screen printing is magical. The moment I saw the screen after burning the design with light, I screamed for a couple of minutes. Seriously. I should have video taped the screaming and jumping that went on. Then, when I first put the ink down on the screen and saw how the print looked I had another screaming attack.

Screen printing is boss.

Happy Friday!

Catching up

Here is what I’ve been up to this week…

 

Project 365 2012: 01.08.12 Hug your friends--I took this after a wonderful day of youth government with amazing people who I don't get to hug very often.

Project 365 2012: 01.09.12 Doodle--I nearly forgot my art on this crazy day. Luckily I'm always doodling.

Project 365 2012: 01.10.11 Why not?--I like to be unexpected. I decided to volunteer for a local theatre company today. I think it's the beginning of a wonderfully spontaneous experience.

Project 365 2012: 01.11.12 Earnest Poster--I finished the poster for my next production with the new company, 608 Productions. I got the posters printed and I'm very happy with them. COME TO THE SHOW!

Project 365 2012: 01.12.12 Spooky Snow--The snow finally started falling in the midwest today after a spring-like January. I really like the color of the sky and the orange from the light reflecting on the falling snow.
