What a crummy year. Cheers.

A Long Walk
January 2nd, 2011
The weather has been pleasant here in Michigan for the past few days. The snow that’s been on the ground for weeks now has finally melted. So, since it was nice, I decided to take my family out for a walk. The colors were amazing. It was a truly enjoyable excursion. We were goofing off [...]
Mixed feelings about a mixed media piece
January 2nd, 2011
This is probably the hundredth time that I will say this…but I just don’t know. This one is just so weird. Though I do admit that I do like it a little bit. It’s different, and I like all things that are unique. This piece was created at the spur of the moment. My daughter [...]
An (un)healthy appetite for reading
December 28th, 2010
I spent the 20th of December writing into the wee hours of the night. It was the most unpleasant thing that I’ve ever done. It’s important for me to note here that this is all my fault. Sometime, during the previous week, I started reading “Kraken” by China Mieville, and I couldn’t stop reading it [...]
Another Apple Drawing
December 24th, 2010
Recently, I’ve noticed a trend in my artwork. For about the past year or so I’ve been obsessed with apples. Oh, and Eve. So, this is kind of a continuation of that. I originally made this drawing as a study. A kind of experiment. I used graphite dust to kind of ‘paint’ this drawing. Does [...]
Nothing- huge drawing
December 16th, 2010
“Nothing” -31″ x 24″ original mixed media, abstract drawing So, yesterday, when I was supposed to study for my final today, I was creating this monster sized drawing. My daughter finds the idea of ‘imagination’ to create images. I’ve been explaining the idea to her for months. Anyway, after about 24 hours (on and off) [...]
How to make seitan, and what I ate for dinner
December 13th, 2010
I first heard of seitan from my boss, who is a vegan gourmet. So, one day I went out and tried it. I’ve been hooked ever since. I haven’t had a chance to cook it in a while, since the cost of vital wheat gluten is a deterrent. But I started wondering if there was [...]
My new home away from home
December 12th, 2010
This is the last week of school! Whoo whoo! I can’t wait to finish my finals and essays so that I can get a well needed break. I’ve been moving non-stop all semester. Soon, I’ll get a brief break. There is one thing that I’m willing to admit to myself: 18 credit hours is tough. [...]
Move- 6×6 inch original painting
December 11th, 2010
This color combination is one of my favorites. It’s a delight for me to use it so often in my artwork. The idea behind this abstraction was simple: movement. More importantly, a certain fluid movement of line and color. This drawing was created on archival quality bristol board, and measures 6″x6″. It’s ready to find [...]
