Sing I May Not

Hey hey hey!!! I know I am on the bad list of bloggers…I promise to write and draw more! So today I have decided to share my FAV-or-IT song. I would definitely agree that someone has heard the song but I listen to just four songs on this favorite album of mine named Tonic LemonContinue reading “Sing I May Not”

You KNOW When You Are An Artist…

You were more concerned about the color of your car than the fuel consumption. The highlights in your hair are from your palette and not Clairol. You are having lunch with the girls and the fragrance you wear is eau d’linseed oil. The only piece of new furniture you have in your home is aContinue reading “You KNOW When You Are An Artist…”

It is 20 pages long and 8″ by 8″…alright maybe I do eat McNuggets from time to time. Fryer and frozenContinue reading “Thank you McDonald’s…is that even true?”

The glow, the sparkle in the eye and the fancy occasion…just in love with being in love. Whether you are super young or super old, we all want to find the right partner. It’s hard work to have any relationship…but the wedding day, makes the best way to start a new claim that you areContinue reading “Wedding Pretty Girls…Maybe just a tad jealous!!!”

Found Art: New topic and totally rad!!

Year after year of doing art, I wanted to kick down a new habit and a new passion. Let’s just say I went a bit nutty by hammering into a television and yanking the head off this poor doll. I never did the 3D thing or the “mixed media” until this year and I haveContinue reading “Found Art: New topic and totally rad!!”

Abstract Party for September 2014!

What’s Up World

There are alignments and there is a bigger whelming (the calm version of overwhelming) flood. It is like I tripped on my own feet and landed face first into a new body. At first my face hurts and then I laugh & get up hoping that no one saw me fall. The blessings are theContinue reading “What’s Up World”

In Midland, MI, there is a weekend festival called “Riverdays” during the weekend of July 18-19th.

Largest Illustration Like Ever

Yikes!! Can you say 5′ across and 3′ down? It seemed like a monster until I did the whole research hunger munch on the internet. I get way prepared before I tackle projects like this one. Brainstorming, day dreaming, yahoo images, etc. In addition to this new art project, I had two of my abstractContinue reading “Largest Illustration Like Ever”

Happy Dance All Over the Living Room

Been doing some big steps to change my life completely… I am physically “dancing” with exercise videos on Hulu plus. There must be over 30 different routines to choose from. As I am getting “smarter”, I am not blaming myself for my sick brain anymore. For years, I thought if I was just more intelligent,Continue reading “Happy Dance All Over the Living Room”

Grand Rapids Was Awesome-sauce

Excellent excellent…I made it to the newspaper here in Midland, Michigan!! The first pic is the actual museum in Grand Rapids, MI (a two hour drive from my home).
