I have been really admiring collages lately. I wish my brain would let me do them, but I don't even know where or how to start. A friend of mine makes them, and every single one she has posted has been amazing.

I am also thinking about opening an etsy store for some photography I dabbled with a while back. They are all on my external hard drive.. so I will pull that out and post some examples once I am done eating this cupcake.

Little things.

I pulled an old notebook that I used to carry around in my purse. I opened it to a page that just read: Sigmar Polke. I do not remember writing it, but it is my handwriting, so I googled it. And this is what I got.

I love when this happens. 

today was camera day

I brought the ol' camera to work tonight to shoot some of the restaurant for the site. But, regular photos get boring to take sometimes.. so I went on my own tangent. I think they turned out pretty neat. 

A friend of mine always posts some really cool photos, and I asked her what she shoots with. She has a Praktica LTL.. so I went to ebay, and found a Praktica MTL for super cheap.. so hopefully I win the bid! 

I forget how much I love photography sometimes. 

I started my Cultural and Social Anthropology class on Thursday.. I have already learned so much just in the 3 hours of the first day.. I can't wait to share some of the interesting things I discover in this class. My professor told us that when he took this course when he was in college, he had so many life changing epiphanies, and it also was that class that made him decide to further an education in Anthropology. 

Also, Adam and I went to a park to eat our lunch today, and these two dudes were playing Disc Golf... (don't ask, I had never heard of it)... and they were so funny.. at one point, on of the guys just screamed out.. "HOORAY FOR EVERYTHING!"/

I have decided to try and make this my motto. 

much love.

Fontsters!

In my drawing class, we had to make our own alphabet using as many different marks as we could.

I chose to go with a theme... a monster theme, naturally.

I might see about doing names and stuff on etsy.... only time will tell ;)

finding inspiration in strange places

I have been watching LA Ink lately. It was a show I did not expect to really care for, but I find it really inspiring. From the actual art itself to the stories people share.. it's just really a good show for me. I have thought about becoming a tattoo artist.. but I am just not confidant enough with my art as it is to permanently do it on someone's body. Anyway, the show really has got me drawing more, and working through my issues with value and shading.. Imagine that!

I have got to say that I think Kat von D, herself, is also very inspiring. She is a young woman that found her calling, and is making a crap load of money with her business and branding. Just having started this Indie Business course, I have a feeling I will see a lot of similarities in Kat's stories about her venture to become successful and the woman I will get to know.

//plus, I think she is beautiful.

oh, yummy!

Today, Adam and I went to Green, which we haven't done in.... forever. As always, it was excellent. We also look forward to seeing what the special is going to be for the day since it isn't ever something that's on the menu. Today the special was a Big Wac, which was a vegan version of a big mac, and it was effing AMAZING. Afterward we went to the Antique Trove right down the street, and pretty much wanted everything in the store.

On Thursday, a few participating movie theaters are playing a Mystery Science Theater 3000! A friend and I are definitely going to be there.

There are a few prints I have been wanting for a while now... they look something like this.

I am totally wanting to get all new (old) furniture for the apartment, but if we are going to be moving to sacramento sometime in the near future, I think I can wait. And as soon as I have money, I am getting these prints (hopefully).
