Diana Mini, Winter Edition

I just discovered a roll of film i'd taken with my Diana Mini this last winter, so I finally got it developed! I'm really impressed with the way they turned out, usually the Mini gets a little finicky when the sun isn't out so this made me very happy! These are a few pics. of my dear Josie and myself taking a little field trip to the frozen lake Mendota.

Untitled - Birds

This is the project I've been working on for the past couple of weeks and I've finally finished it. After I read 'Family Ties' by Clarice Lispector, I became inspired to make a painting featuring the words that I blogged about earlier - "One must know, One must know. Life is so short, life is so short." I decided to take an ironic spin on the phrase, giving the birds in the painting the revenge they deserved. I explained it earlier today to a friend: "the cat's are doneski."
Acrylic and Ink on canvas. Roughly 2ftx4ft.

summer update

It’s been a crazy year but my spring semester has finally ended! *choir sings the hallelujah chorus*
This summer will be a blend of the following –
-camping at devils lake
-rollerblading
-shopping
-biking
-swimming
-flying kites
-blowing bubbles
-hiking/walking
-working at the cleaners
-boating
-grilling out
-taking a summer class at MATC (weather & climate…. Bummer)
And last but not least spending all my free time with my friends and fam. I felt the need to do a general update cause I feel it’s been awhile.

Besides my personal life, and in other artsy news – Death Cab for Cutie is coming out with a new CD May 31st! Codes and Keys is the title and I am super stoked. Here’s the website if there are any other die hard Gibbard fans out there, you can pre-order it just like I did. :) http://www.deathcabforcutie.com/

Secondly I’m working on a couple different paintings right now that I’ll be posting in another week or so. Stay tuned, and hope summer is starting up for everyone else as well.
Peace&Love
