Next Project: Head Cam

Currently on my mind (literally), and in progress:

Public Nature Art

Instead of playing on the playground at a park today, my 8 year old and I decided to make some nature art.  Inspired by Andy Goldsworthy, we collected objects and created these lovely art-nests.

Male.
Pine needles, leaves, pine cones, and unknown seed pods.

Female.
Pine needles, leaves, unknown berries, and mums.

Inspirations!

See the internet through my eyes.

I finally decided to go the easy way and no longer save every picture that inspires me from the internet to my hard-drive.  Now I have a handy place to keep all my crazy inspirations.

Summer 2012

I saw so many things this summer, so much inspiration.  I feel like a changed woman.  I wonder how it will affect my art.

Even the carpet was plaid.

M Magazine

I am so excited and honored to be on the cover of M Magazine (april 2012)!

*My leggings were made with a hand cut jesus stamp on electric blue lycra.

Also, I created the Basquiat set on page 19, and the Warhol set on page 21.
