What a Wonderful World

2008-03-05T20:35:00.002-05:00

My mind is flowing with so many ideas. I have gotten permission from my boss to start my own card line at the office supply shop! I am so thrilled! I am going to use my majestic collection of pens, Pelikan opaque watercolours, watercolour tubes, paints, photos, pencils, and the art of words to create beauteous cards. What a grand endeavour this shall be! My boss has also lent me a paper cutter and I have nice paper and envelopes. And yes, a mind flowing with ideas!

Also, I would like a typewriter. I have been feeling vintage lately, and have thus longed for the classic click of the typewriter, which I have never used before. So many things to try in the world! New and old! What a wonderful world.

I'm not gonna lie, I want to go swimming in this.

Eighty-Nine

2008-02-10T13:23:00.001-05:00

Today my Great-Grandmother is 89. Wowowowow!
I hope I live to be that old.

She lives in Chelyabinsk.

Gottemz!

And what was my first personal drive?
The most magical frosty getting experience ever.

Feather

2008-02-04T15:30:00.000-05:00

and all she ever wanted was to be light as a feather,
floating in whatever direction the wind would carry her.

Happiness Is

2008-01-29T22:14:00.001-05:00

happiness is dancing in the rain.
happiness is finding a new song to love.
happiness is visiting a new and mysterious land.
happiness is new love.
happiness is knowing you have a home.
happiness is a memory.
happiness is a friend.
happiness is kisses.
happiness is doing stupid stuff with your friends.
happiness is laughter.
happiness is a birth.
happiness is a story.
happiness is a bird.
happiness is a chase.
happiness is a dream remembered.
happiness is a cartwheel.
happiness is discovery.
happiness is a life.
happiness is a photograph.

Fellow Russians

2008-01-18T18:52:00.000-05:00

I love my beautiful family, & I love these old pictures that I brought back from Russia a few months ago. The first one is my Babushka (Grandma) Kapitallina Fedorovna, who we just call Baba Kapa. She's my mom's mother. The second picture is my Dyedushka (Grandpa) Genadiev Mikhailovich, who we call Dyeda Gena. Yep, my mother's father. Babushka and Dyedushka are still very happily together. The third picture is my mom's younger sister (my aunt) Margarita Gennadievna. We call her Rita for short. I can't even begin to write the Russian word for "aunt" in English letters. (Hahaha, it ended up looking very strange.) These are just their first and patronymic names. Love my Ruskies. :)

Words for Snow

2008-01-16T18:01:00.000-05:00

I found a photographer who I think is just so wonderful.
I find the pictures so real and lovely at the same time.
Her gallery is mostly made up of women.

Check out her gallery:

I can't promise you'll like it, but hopefully you'll love it. :)

making the rounds

2008-01-12T20:16:00.000-05:00

some people haven't been updating their fabulous blogs, which is making me sad. but i'm not quitting, or pausing. no, no, no.

it's been blue lately. happy blue, that is.

2008-01-08T19:52:00.000-05:00

Tell me if you like them! <3

Snazzing Up

2007-12-24T18:33:00.000-05:00

I got a hair cut! Bangs and layers (as opposed to my old, perfectly aligned hair)!! Yes, I love it. I just colored it a deeper, darker brown, too. The color is supposed to come out in 28 shampoos though. We'll see. Now, now, now... presents! I originally wanted to wrap presents in newspaper comic pages, but I forgot to pick those up (since I don't get a newspaper at my house..... I have the internet for news, afterall!) so I used magazines instead. Snazziness. Click the picca for LARGENESS. Happy Christmas Eve.

Diverge

2007-12-17T22:38:00.001-05:00

Ahh! My first shot at a vector-type art. This picca of me is like from three years ago. :) Anyway, I accidentally saved this in the wrong way, and the resolution got a bit messed up, but I guess it's okay anyway. Enjoyyyyyy.

Do You Fly?

2007-12-14T23:07:00.000-05:00

Taken when the plane to Philly was close to landing (I'm sure a couple of you will remember). I made this bizznasty in photoshop. I did freehand the "do you fly?" writing. So I'm pretty pimpin' like that. <3

There are so many things that can fly in this world, and even though we can't, other things {like dreams, parachutes, and planes} can always carry us.

As If Falling Through a Dream

2007-12-11T21:43:00.000-05:00

Nothing really seems real when you fall, does it?

Last Christmas (except not the song)

2007-12-09T14:48:00.000-05:00

Last Christmas I painted this picca. It all came from my imagination, so I wasn't inspired by anything (except the beauty of this planet). Anyway, I painted it as a present for someone. 11x14, acrylic on canvas. And, of course the picture has glare and whatnot from the camera, so it's not exactly how it looks, but pretty darn close. :)

Winter on the Train

2007-12-07T19:41:00.000-05:00

I drew this about 2 months ago. It's my first charcoal drawing. I forgot where I found my stock image, but what can I do? :)

Enjoy!

Sunday's

2007-12-03T00:07:00.000-05:00

I did these today (well, it's 12 am now... so, technically, yesterday) at work, and watercolored the puppy at home. Enjoy!

Can you hear the noise?

2007-11-25T22:05:00.000-05:00

YES! I adore these. I can totally imagine the noise from the city & that party! The first picca I discovered on photobucket. The 1 of the teenagers I found on the Urban Outfitters blog, & the picca was taken by a photographer named Jason Nocito. He's wonderful.

Don't you just love free time?

2007-11-24T23:27:00.000-05:00

I drew this today at work. Then I added splotches with photoshop. Enjoy!

Photobucket!

2007-11-24T15:59:00.000-05:00

I went to photobucket.com to upload a picture into one of my albums when I noticed some

pictures. So click after click, I discovered rad art that I felt the urge to share. Enjoy!

City of Sound

I like looking at this.

Sawdust

2007-11-24T09:16:00.000-05:00

The Killers' new album Sawdust is out and I've definitely been listening to it. Some of the songs on the CD have been out for years, but have never been released on a CD. I've already had these songs for years, but a lot of the songs are new, too. I love, love, love the song All the Pretty Faces. Why? It's catchy. Not even my usual catchy. But I enjoy it. I do still love their first album, Hot Fuss, the most. Sam's Town and Sawdust I think I like equally well. I really miss the sweet, romantic, I-miss-her Brandon Flowers, rather than the new cowboy-with-a-grudge thing he's been doing in Sam's Town and Sawdust. Maybe they'll do more Hot Fuss type things in their fourth album. . . hmm.

Sticker Book

2007-11-23T17:24:00.000-05:00

Alden told my about an amazing site where you get to pick out different graphic designs and order your very own sticker book of your favorite designs. I just ordered 90 different designs and am absolutely thrilled.

Here's the site, <http://www.moo.com/designs/designers/>.

Fab!

2007-11-22T23:32:00.000-05:00

I was thoroughly inspired by Butla's and her sister, Lizzy's, blog <pepperandmittens.blogspot.com>. If you haven't seen it already, you must. It's pretty much amazing. So now I'm starting my own art blog & this is it.

Today I found a fabulous Swedish artist by the name of Linn Olofsdotter.
Her website is <http://www.olofsdotter.com/>, so go & check out her stuff! It's so crazy/wonderful/cool.

So I'll start by posting one of the only pictures of my art works I have on my computer. Beatles = rad to the max.
