Artwork H.I.P.

Since this week is very crazy (i'm working over 50 hrs, it's our big sale at the Michigan Design Center) I thought I would pay homage to all the paintings at the gallery I work at that I have used as back drops, and have gone off into the world on their own with new parents.


To all those adopted paintings, may they H.I.P. 
Hang In Peace.

Most Comfy Dress Ever

Another great find from the Ann Arbor art fair is this beaut. Jen found it in a closet at this great antique store. There is actually a buttoned top that goes with it to, but makes it more dressy. I'm pretty sure it's a dress from the 40/50's and rayon so it feels like nothing is on and is sooo lightweight and cool. Your it to work today and was wonderful to work in. I did sooo much. Jeez.

Paint on my fingers

This weekend was a great weekend. I had forgot what it felt like to just stay home and not worry about where I'm going. Thursday night I sat at home, painted and drank mountain dew, and man it felt good, I felt like myself for once. I had Friday off, which was amazing, I sat around and sketched out painting ideas while storms ran through and watched Veronica Mars (why was that show canceled?) I'm almost done with a painting and a screen print drawing... Yay! I know now that I'm back into painting the canvas will just paint itself.

On Saturday I went to the Ann Arbor Art fair, mainly for the sidewalk sales. I'm sure they were better o wednesday because by saturday morning a lot was picked over. But it doesn't matter me and my girlfriend Jen had an awesome time. Here's what I wore yesterday going to get some breakfast crepes with Kevin using my sidewalk sale finds (I accidentally left my leftovers at the restaurant, don't you hate when you do that?).

Ok now continuing, this is what I wore when I got into work yesterday. This skirt was my mom's from the 70's and as you can see it's a mini. Well with everything that happened with the invasion of ants I felt that I should probably change into a more utilitarian outfit.

Start of a clone set of pictures but I didn't like the outfit enough... soon storage room will have a clone shot
 
 

Luckily I have clothes in my car at all times so I went and grabbed this good ole' skirt. I really like how Nautical this outfit ended up looking and how 70's the other one looked. Eh, clothes change as the day does.

New Shoes

Nothing special about this outfit other than my awesome new shoes from Guess. I've been eyeing them for months and it paid off. I got them 50% off the already discounted price. YAY! It's weird being 5'6" adding 5" heels makes me a giant to everyone. Oh well I love them and they are comfortable.

S&U On Tour } Miamisburg Mound

This weekend was super filled again... I have only had one free weekend this summer! I'm exhausted... On Saturday was the Royal Oak garage sale, which is held yearly in a parking structure and people just set up their booths. I got some great finds, a purse for $5, a romper for $1, some gifts for my mom and cousin. Kevin got an ammo box for my nephew and two shirts for $12. Then after spending the morning in the heat we napped before hitting the road for ohio to spend Sunday with my mom and step-dad's family.



Another group shot! My step brothers are the big dudes on the left, their arms are bigger than my head.

After the family function on the way back from my sister's, Kevin and I stopped at the Miamisburg Mound State Memorial. I've actually never been there which is surprising because it's literally 15 minutes away and on the way to my grandparent's house.



Ohio is known for it's Mounds, mainly Serpent Mound, which is not a burial mound. The Miamisburg Mound is the tallest Mound east of the Mississippi and currently measures 65ft tall, it was once 68ft or taller.

Archeologists believe it is a mound built by the Adena people, a prehistoric native culture who's origins are unknown, and are now known more as the Mound Builders because of their earthworks and burial mounds. They lived in the Ohio river valley around 1000-800 BC and were the first people in the region to domesticate food and were at that time pretty far beyond other cultures in the US.

The view from uptop was amazing, the mound is built on a 100ft bluff looking over the Miami River. You can see so far, I could see downtown Dayton. I'm sure if it wasn't sooo humid that day you could see ever farther.








Don't forget about my GIVEAWAY!!! It's open until Thursday! Enter!!!

Art Print Giveaway!


My first giveaway! I'm excited!

So as you can see I'm giving away some art prints! They are prints of my own oil paintings from a series I did on animal interaction and humans in the form of fashion. Most all of my art centers around females and animal counterparts in some type of interaction. I'm very environmentally conscious and have been most all my life, and my art features many of my thoughts on the way we treat ourselves compared to our fellow animals.

They are giclee prints (archival ink on archival paper) and a watercolor somerset velvet paper. It's a thicker stock and feels great between your fingers. The prints are 6.5 x 7.5 on approx 7.5 x 9 paper (I trim them so it may be a little off) All prints are signed and printed by me!

Here you can see this same set listed on my Etsy store at $20.00 plus shipping (my prices are really too low, but hey)

You see that 4 prints!!
