Windsor & Newton


Getting new art supplies has to be one of the most exciting things that happens to me. I was writing up a list of art supplies I needed today - canvas, sketch pad, metallic marker, prismacolor colored pencils, canvas etc. on the Wisconsin Craft's website when I discovered that Windsor & Newton have come up with a new acrylic paint called Artists Acrylic! OOO baby I'm excited. It's a new formula that shows no variation between the color when the paint is wet and once it dries. So, I thought i'd post this in case others weren't aware. Let the painting begin!
Here's the link for the new acrylic, check it out!

Indian Summer

The latest roll of film from my Diana Mini - half turned out completely white... and half turned out super rockstar. So here's the good stuff; most of these pictures were taken at Devils Lake State Park, or at James Madison Park across from my apartment. I'll be uploading tons more throughout the rest of the summer - enjoiii

precisely.

Tyler Knott Gregson is an artist who uses black marker to blot out words from newspaper clippings in order to create poetry. He calls it blackout poetry - and this one is my thinking precisely!

The Dø - Bohemian Dances



I've been obsessed with this song for a bit now - so good, check out the lyrics.

I don't want nobody to tell me what I did wrong or right
I have grown in patience you keep lecturing me day and night
Now you have no other choice it's my turn to decide
This can old be done the same with just a little far.

Look at the sunrise, Look at the moonlight
You're not in a hurry, it isn't the time.
I know what's best now, believe me the best is never around if you're trying too hard.
Look at yourself boy, Look at yourself boy, Look at yourself boy
Whatever the price
As long as we're dancing bohemian dances
I know the answers are no longer far.

Totally freak out all over the place now.
As long as we're dancing we can't be mistaken
As long as we're dancing bohemian dances
I know the answers will pop in your heart.
Oh please don't try to make it worth this could ever become.
As long as we're dancing bohemian dances
I know the answers are no longer far.

I will doing my best boy, doing my best boy, doing my best boy,
Whatever the price
Doing my best boy, doing my best boy, doing my best boy
You might be surprise.
Doing my best boy, doing my best boy, doing my best boy,
Whatever the price

I don't want nobody to take me
For someone I am not
I'm just playing my own part
Don't blame me if i'm on the run.
Look at the sunrise, Look at the moonlight
You're not in a hurry, it isn't the time.
I know whats best now, believe me the best is never around if you're trying too hard.
Look at yourself boy, Look at yourself boy, Look at yourself boy
Whatever the price
As long as we're dancing bohemian dances
I know the answers are no longer far.

Look at yourself boy, Look at yourself boy, Look at yourself boy
