You can ignore me for a few minutes, if you want… I’m just going a little stir-crazy, today. This whole “office life” stuff really gets to me from time to time. I was going to post pictures of the final bird painting, but I forgot my USB...

There’s not too much I love more than a nice warm spring breeze and jazz drifting around my home. This album, along with Kind of Blue, Ella and Louis Again, some Gershwin and Brubeck were the soundtrack for the past weekend. Lovely! ‘Blue Train’ is...

This almost makes me want to run out now and buy a Wii! Check out the “well-paid” commercial (I would love a copy of the Trogdor phonics game, too!). From the press release: SAN RAFAEL, CA, April 10, 2008 – Interactive entertainment pioneer Telltale,...

Ache with burning desire for this poster! $550!?! These banners were displayed around San Francisco to promote The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art’s exhibition Matthew Barney: Drawing Restraint from June 23 through September 17, 2006. SFMOMA was the only US...

I haven’t been so happy with a final product in a while! The peacock is another watercolor painting and the frame is, obviously enough, made from a bunch of found wooden rulers. (Those were a wonderful find and I’m glad I’m finally being able to use...
