the grand scheme of things

We all do what me must do, whether it was nothing or accounted for something.
It seems we decide individually what to account for in our lives.
Sometimes its easier to take our minds off of matters and think outside those thoughts.
With a little music, some crazy patterns and juice for our eyes.
Here's a sample of some vintage patterns that have caught my eye. Made available via etsy. Vintage wallpaper. Plain....but the possibilities! I am going to start making vinyl wallets soon. Little clear windows to cool patterns, something to put in your pocket and pull out and look at.

Random Art

I found some old pictures from a couple years ago of some clothing and art I did. Posting it now, because I sold this at a festival or outdoor market...forever forgotten about till I saw the picture!

Summer time

I've been in Wisconsin for the last month and a half. 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.

Well enough of my school ramble.

I recently did a hand-drawn logo for this awesome wedding photographer in Portland. Check out his web-site: http://www.thephotographers.us/

I also have some prints for sale in this local shop that features some other really great Portland artists: http://tolivarportland.com

Whole Earth Festival 2010

On my way to the Whole Earth Festival, got some new prints all made up... and hopefully I sell some! That would be awesome because I haven't been making very much money since October!! The WEF is in Davis, California at the University, and is a sustainable hand crafters fair! It is really cool, and the weather is usually beautiful!
