You can not escape.

Let's have a kiki...

Exploded Flowers have been deconstructed into neat more abstract forms.

Deep into the mountainside...

Wish I could do this every weekend.

I'm a dangerous man!

I really don't seem to draw much anymore. These last few years I've only managed to pump out a few drawings a year. It's sad. I really do enjoy drawing once I actually get the motivation to work on something. I felt like my blog needed some sprucing up, as it has had the same one for quite a while now. Less things in my "likes" show up, but it's nice and simple. Those are my two cats. Buster is on the left, Mr. T is on the right.

My job at the Y just transferred to being after school, so it's only part time. But I like it. I was so unbearably exhausted working full time at camp. Just every day, coming home and wanting to pass out. Not fun. Now I am starting to be able to bike to work and take yoga classes. I work on yoga at home, as well. It's possibly the best thing ever.

Just the yellow bits.

Check out these cool liquid drop photos taken by Corrie White.

And while we're on the subject of uber bright colors, I dyed my hair again.

The pink lady's pledge.

I thought I'd highlight some artwork I really enjoy from etsy. Etsy is bursting with artists, and I've probably only skimmed the tip of the iceburg, but, here you go!


Jason LaFerrera makes animals out of cut-outs of maps. They're very clean and well done.


Chasing The Crayon does really interesting illustrations with animals. This is one of their more out-there ones, which I really enjoy.


Groundwork does super beautiful, simplistic illustrations with fine detail work.


CrowBiz prints detailed animals onto maps or pages from vintage books. It's a nice look.


GollyBard does wonderful illustrations of animals and nature. I love the pallet she keeps throughout her art. This is a storm cloud.


Siiso does beautiful abstracts.


Cathy McMurray does neat abstracts and abstracted landscapes.

I'll cover more in another post, before this one gets ridic long!

Change is gonna come.

I know I've been really quiet. Been sorta busy with school and not feeling that great. I turned in my graduation application, it's pretty crazy how soon it is. If all goes as planned, I'm graduating in May in the spring. I'm looking forward to a bunch of my classes. They'll be much more active and outside-oriented, which is what I like to do. I passed my wilderness first responder, and am now all medically certified and jazz. The weather here is so weird. It's November, but sometimes it's still t-shirt weather during the day. Right now it's rainy and cold which makes sense, but jeez. I'd bought a jacket from Patagonia (waiting for it to arrive) to finally be able to effectively battle the brutal winters here. I get tired of layering up with everything and being a big puff ball and STILL being cold. I also got Batman pajamas. Because I'm perpetually an 8 year old boy inside. I've decided to learn how to play the electric guitar. I was able to buy one from my teacher for a sweet deal. I'll have to take pictures of it sometime. It's super badical pretty. In the meantime, enjoy a SAS post.

And because it's just so funny.



Pretty Lights is my most favorite new band. I love everything by them.

Let me take you on vacation.

Carl Warner is a super neat artist. If you look closely, you'll see everything is made from food! They're all photographs. He sets them up on a landscape so that when he photographs it, it has depth.

Spreading its disease.

The Burning House is a blog I found a little while ago. The idea is, in your haste to leave your house if it were on fire, what would you grab? Sentimental things, practical, both? I'm not sure what I'd grab, other than my cats and laptop. Outside of that I haven't given it much thought. I like seeing the photos people have composed of their belongings, and possible accompanying descriptions.

Let's find love while we may.

These take the idea of 'gif's to a new level. They're literally living pictures, capturing a true moment in time. The photo carrying more weight in your memory, as it lets you relive through other senses- the feel of the breeze that day, the fizz of the bubbles in your drink. Artist Jamie Beck and Kevin Burg have created what they call cinemagraphs, making animated photos.
