spring! awesome blooms, awesome curb finds, awesome books. yes!

above are some art for arf's sake pics - a fun fun event benefitting the berks county humane society. from top: a piece of Adrienne's fabulous art, my dog, the venue, someone else's fabulous art, me and my date.
just kidding.
below, the rest of my weekend via instagram

i stopped worrying about the dog art long enough to complete this. i donated this piece to the Friends of Steve McQueen Car Show 2013. the event takes place in chino hills, CA early june and raises money for Boys Republic. you can read all about it HERE

i am now obsessing. back to basics. then all photoshop color. i ripped up all previous efforts.

and i know, i missed the deadline. so i should really stop. now.

really.

ok so i finished this too late. which is just as well since i 

HATE IT

with all of my heart and soul. needs to be finished in psd, but i got bored, printed it and added marker. ick

here is the inked dog. i am a little further than this but still have a ways to go. of course, my self-imposed deadline is today. i crack myself up

so. if i hurry and finish this, perhaps over the weekend? then maybe it will be accepted as a donation for an art auction which benefits the berks county humane society. the event info is HERE and i cannot wait to go! last year, it was SO MUCH FUN and Adrienne and i need another night like that one

christmas afternoon at aunt nancy's, i was eight. check out the super fly faux fur coat, the leather and suede aries embossed saddle bag, the mood ring, and of course those pants.

yes.

remember these? ok they are on sale at society6 in various incarnations. here is the link.

here are some typewriters i have seen and photographed with my iphone. i am posting them so i can link them to my PINTEREST page, which you can view if you click PINTEREST

this is based on a photo i took in 2009 of a gentleman at the book expo america. he was sitting in the lobby of the javits center. this piece combines the guy and the center, but what i saw didn't actually look like this. this is just me playing with color. and lines. both of which i love. i don't think this is finished yet

a doctored iphone shot of a little idea i am in the midst of thinking about

this is a portion of something i am hoping works out. a labor of love and fun to do no matter what :)
