It reminds me of a previous time in the history of my life owning a yellow and blue parakeet. Ones that had 3 babies, each of them receiving an ill-fated end. Their parents met the same fate. The mama got eaten by a cat, (I am assuming since there were scattered feathers but no bird), the papa flew away in my yard and got killed by Blue Jays in front of my eyes. (I actually didn't see the death go down. He flew high into a tree and all I could hear was a high pitch song while 4 Blue Jays encroached on him. Creepy.) 2 babies got given away, and the third we kept. It flew away too. The back door got pushed open for a split instant while the household cat was coming in from outside. The bird went truckin down the block.NorthTrainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11310338071089583017noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839477867438841073.post-2219652791307533272012-01-27T20:30:00.000-08:002012-01-27T20:30:22.309-08:00Stop Animation ClassI finished my last class, teaching middle school this month. The project went really well. I broke the class into 5 groups, and gave them each a job title; director, set designer, camera person, and animator. Overall it went very well. I had a budget of only $75 for 75 students. This had to over their clay as well as a DVD, and a few other items to make their sets. We didn't have a tripod, so the students balanced their cameras on books. We marked out where the books would sit and the set on a large piece of paper. Kind of like making a registration sheet so they could film again with the same dimension of space as the first shoot. We only had 4 classes to start and finish this project. The first class they brainstormed and created their stories and started making the characters and sets. The second two classes they finished their sets and began taking pictures. The last class was in the computer lab, downloading their pictures into iPhoto, and then importing it into iMovie to make a timeline and do any edits. The final step was to export it as a Quicktime movie and burn it on a disc. It was stressful trying to get 20 kids to follow the steps exactly with me. The combination of them having access to the main server where they could download their pictures and broken CD drives made for a few hectic moments. They would grab files they weren't supposed to on the server so things would go missing in the middle of directing the class. All in all, considering the limitations, the class went really well. It was a great way to introduce technology and art through a fun project. I will be posting some of the best movies up soon.NorthTrainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11310338071089583017noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839477867438841073.post-60894759532964981272012-01-03T11:21:00.000-08:002012-01-03T11:27:22.308-08:00TeachingTomorrow I am teaching a class that is going to last for the month of January at a charter school for middle school children. My classes are going to be making a stop animation film (10 sec) with clay and digital cameras. I am a little nervous, as kids can be hard to get to focus. I am dividing the class of 20 into 5 groups, so they have to share clay and the sets within the group. If they get this done, they will learn how to import their pictures onto a Mac and create a video with it. They will then burn it onto a disc to take home. Hopefully this goes well! Lol. I have learned to have the steps carefully outlined so that they don't get distracted or stuck. I have also learned you can't be too rigid, because kids can come up with some unexpected creative ideas you didn't even think of. If I get any good results from this class I will post the video!NorthTrainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11310338071089583017noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839477867438841073.post-76739373635385694272011-12-26T20:40:00.000-08:002011-12-26T20:47:23.809-08:00christmasLong sliver, silver, and sleek;<br />moving like graceful tides <br />with a chicken speech.<br /><br />It all means something if we want <br />it to be.

But the natural light has been so dim, and my camera I bought last summer was not taking good pictures in this kind of light. But I did a little more research on my camera, and it turns out my settings were wrong, so I am going to be taking some photos really soon. <br />I have been pretty inspired by photography lately, perhaps ignited by this girl, <a href="http://shuttermade.com/alisonscarpulla">Alison Scarpulla</a>NorthTrainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11310338071089583017noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839477867438841073.post-5095875863397938402011-12-20T21:06:00.000-08:002011-12-21T11:03:38.320-08:00Fleet Foxes animated Video!

I happen to be in my hometown. It is a strange visit,very familiar yet very different. I have had a strange twist in life many times, and this may be one of them. The smell of the water and the humid summer nights make me feel kind of safe, like you do when you are a little kid. It is a little wistful though, and I am leaving really soon back to the land of Portland, Oregon. The place I have called home for a long time now. Back to a different life sort of. Wrapping up summer school, and that will be the end of college for a while. I am super happy about it, I need a long vacation. I have been going for six years in a row full time, and have no idea how the heck I pulled that one off, considering all the traveling I did the whole time. All I have to say is, I did piss off a lot of teachers, and I always apologized! I'm not sure that I owe school for being smarter, although it did introduce me to some things. I think ultimatly life picks up where school leaves off. <br /><br />Well enough of my school ramble.<br /><br />I recently did a hand-drawn logo for this awesome wedding photographer in Portland. Check out his web-site: http://www.thephotographers.us/<br /><br />I also have some prints for sale in this local shop that features some other really great Portland artists: http://tolivarportland.comNorthTrainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11310338071089583017noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839477867438841073.post-35485090204046690842010-05-06T11:51:00.000-07:002010-05-06T11:54:01.314-07:00Whole Earth Festival 2010On my way to the Whole Earth Festival, got some new prints all made up... and hopefully I sell some!

It is cloudy, with little birsts of sun. I jumped the hurdles and crossed bridges that needed to be crossed this year. More so than any other year of my life. I have almost accomplished everything on my list of stuff to do in my twenties. I am getting my BA this summer finally, and then getting my MFA will finally be the end of my educational goals. I have seen this country all over, and am content with the amount of traveling I have done. I just need to see Europe. I am slowly building up my small business, and will have a clothing line together in a few weeks. I also have my artwork together for prints, and have been silk-screening some new designs on paper. What can I say? I am happy with the direction my life has taken, the darkest days of this past year are over. I am looking ahead, never behind. <br /><br />Matters of the heart take their course, and it takes courage to follow your heart. Sometimes we listen to it, other times we try to quiet it. But no matter the situation of my heart, I always look forward to things working out for the best, and never give up that the future will bring amazing things. Sometimes hardships happen, and what we do in those moments will test our character and happiness. You can choose to let these moments be poetry in your mind and heart, everything is a choice.<br />I always try to turn sadness into inspiration, and seeds of happiness. I hope you can too.NorthTrainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11310338071089583017noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839477867438841073.post-76418058666369738672010-04-27T19:12:00.001-07:002010-04-27T19:13:00.141-07:00My new Web SiteHooray!

Sometimes having a broken heart just means its time to grow and change... and its not that bad. I'm learning to control my thoughts, take the negative thinking patterns and think instead of the exact moment of NOW!!

I have been working on a new line of clothes. I have been sewing and silk-screening pockets and patches. They will be for sale up at the Gorge for the Dead shows May 15. I wanted to put up my latest development. As you may or may not know, I have been using 100 year old paper for my series of prints with hand painting. Although I love them for originality sake, and won't be discontinuing the idea, I wanted to also have an edition that was archival. They are going to be a lot more money, in the $50-$80 range. The old book pages will still be $25-$30. So I made photo-lithography's of original book pages onto acid free, cream paper, silkscreened them, and will be painting on them. I came across some fluorescent enamel paints at the thrift store and can't wait to use them! So check these out, the cream paper makes them seem like a real book page, but they aren't. And I reproduced it by soaking the paper and running it through a press. I can't wait!!!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUcraq0C1IWvIOrEo1qf2gV2y3u6UAt3zjb3Kbhk6R8SiuviHmc04q_wYX61tG9KMuCd3swD7jY7SUe6uBaPPa63gmHpQYxm1KAAoicJ2zPDF0ZTp095SMmrjzpN4PfN_JXV6PaNnYt516/s1600-h/bear1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 135px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUcraq0C1IWvIOrEo1qf2gV2y3u6UAt3zjb3Kbhk6R8SiuviHmc04q_wYX61tG9KMuCd3swD7jY7SUe6uBaPPa63gmHpQYxm1KAAoicJ2zPDF0ZTp095SMmrjzpN4PfN_JXV6PaNnYt516/s200/bear1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332083292222688914" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCwK833KEzaJX-UeGzy5Byywo693lje_wgF5bE7KDyopkZ21cVBZc724omOPAArl7FpkAk_ziGHCxpGggpxgffxeoDVQwM3O7_0ncM_a8wI2KkwetzGsRBO-k67alaNCNAKO-HkeD7eDC7/s1600-h/dear2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCwK833KEzaJX-UeGzy5Byywo693lje_wgF5bE7KDyopkZ21cVBZc724omOPAArl7FpkAk_ziGHCxpGggpxgffxeoDVQwM3O7_0ncM_a8wI2KkwetzGsRBO-k67alaNCNAKO-HkeD7eDC7/s200/dear2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332083238042697954" /></a>NorthTrainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11310338071089583017noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839477867438841073.post-28491960013724632852009-05-04T14:07:00.000-07:002009-05-04T14:13:07.454-07:00Needle Art MagazineI came across this needle art magazine from 1983, for 50 cents! It has some really amazing embroidery in it, and it is interesting to see the influence of post modernism from the 70's still present. For example someone embroidered a sampler of an ariel view of an island, looks kind of like a map. It was obviously influenced by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_art">land art</a> I posted the cover, and a page with some really interesting bead work and design sampler.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmV2hyphenhyphenlQzJ8RY54dXkFESY5l_XwZw8zka5qWz5D6VYFwauB0JOx2g5O9CxEWn9I2w-pT-sDVrn_Hb-xVrlNVfHaYWHfoMJrZVnQcSmz6hWzuh_n7n6FkMV1W5Q2yDZhDateEiD2lmazBlI/s1600-h/needle1.jpg"><img style="display:block;

Thanks to everyone who stopped by and checked out my work! Any many more thanks to those of you that bought something! Come back next month for some new work. I have been hard at work, heavy with ideas and so little time! Summer is almost upon us, and the festival season is beginning... I will be pulling more prints this month. I am concentrating on getting as many prints in a series printed using photo lithography and silkscreen. I am working at going back into them with a brush before they appear in my trunks for sale. <br /><br />It is my dream to get a "Duchampian" suitcase to fit all my art. I am selling originals for really cheap, as a way to make art that everyone can afford. The dilemma is for me as the maker to get what they are worth, without spending too much time on any one piece to make it worth too much. But how do you do this without sacrificing quality? That is my job. To make truly unique prints that are beautiful, creative, and original, reproduced by hand through a press. During times of Recession, art should be cheaper, enabling everyone to look at original artworks for creative and intellectual stimulation. And hopefully when the Recession is over there will be many works of art acquired inexpensively that will be worth quite a bit more.NorthTrainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11310338071089583017noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839477867438841073.post-24069381148576125312009-04-27T13:27:00.000-07:002009-04-27T13:32:56.146-07:00New WorkI have been steadily printing my drawings that were new in January. I have almost sold out of my original silk-screened octopus design on music paper! Thank you to all my customers!! So I am now starting a new series of silk screens on dictionary pages. The designs are the octopus, deer, and bear. I will continue to hand paint around them, because it adds such a lovely touch. Check out my items for sale in my <a href="http://www.northtrain.com">etsy store</a> to buy one of these! <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTgard2SMoXz0rIIQAL18iDlODIdNLlBA43wrLv-N5I9Tw8RHZW9176RWzhR7Asmpu3rnIw417-h6I-jNg3FzfnwHSJtVnBP4-Vxy-jbEzqC_YAEntuqeIrV8O0wp2ePSWglkbuAXZyyMV/s1600-h/bear4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTgard2SMoXz0rIIQAL18iDlODIdNLlBA43wrLv-N5I9Tw8RHZW9176RWzhR7Asmpu3rnIw417-h6I-jNg3FzfnwHSJtVnBP4-Vxy-jbEzqC_YAEntuqeIrV8O0wp2ePSWglkbuAXZyyMV/s200/bear4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329471835729611266" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-OXvcnZVlqDbNqWyV_HZH9tlrOZJwFbpj6MnQTryPhD057d2Ak5kIcrLUBfvbAMnx-xdrixXeN0ga7emx87Wx6o9LKN6JFZmbXgSOgBfK7qrYT6aIxF5s1oybCJgte19mugjenL5TYH7Q/s1600-h/octo1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-OXvcnZVlqDbNqWyV_HZH9tlrOZJwFbpj6MnQTryPhD057d2Ak5kIcrLUBfvbAMnx-xdrixXeN0ga7emx87Wx6o9LKN6JFZmbXgSOgBfK7qrYT6aIxF5s1oybCJgte19mugjenL5TYH7Q/s200/octo1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329471738747437922" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX7lsWp68Lzo4s8BFuUv3DhOpuzb3w1efhjsF-msFqBcv5Lf79XbL8eCUDr1uhey5u2TpmrRaXd44VcKSjaRmVWqlZAxrXIvES_ZdvNK9C3j8B7sWrK_piFvcH2mDWKsdaWT4uSgm-v2AC/s1600-h/deer1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX7lsWp68Lzo4s8BFuUv3DhOpuzb3w1efhjsF-msFqBcv5Lf79XbL8eCUDr1uhey5u2TpmrRaXd44VcKSjaRmVWqlZAxrXIvES_ZdvNK9C3j8B7sWrK_piFvcH2mDWKsdaWT4uSgm-v2AC/s200/deer1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329471666906183346" /></a>NorthTrainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11310338071089583017noreply@blogger.com0
