Motivational Monday and Quick Recap

Saturday was my birthday.  And a great day was had.  Relaxing, lazy day – then a celebration with all of the people in my life that I care about.  Brian and SB were there.  My friends were there.  We ate, we drank, and we laughed.  I got two amazing art pieces – one from Lili…

My First Dr Sketchy

2 minutes  2 minutes  more than 2 min. more than 2 min. I was able to go to the local Dr Sketchy event.  I was able to take photos, but only for drawing reference. Not to post.  Oh well – it was fun.  All I can say is that I recalled why I stopped drawing…

My thoughts in bullets

Hiring for the job I interviewed for is “on hold” indefinitely.  That was the last word I got on Friday afternoon as I lay in bed sick.  So, I’m back to square one.  It sucks, but it is what it is.  Nothing I can do about it.  What sucks is that they were clearly on…

A SEAF Reacap

My first time attending SEAF was amazing.  I had read things about past years. I have heard from others about it too.  I was excited to be able to attend this year – thanks to Lili for tickets. Seattle Erotic Arts Festival was started in 2002 as a way to celebrate the erotic.  I had…

Photos: Randomness

love how the tree and sky are reflective in this building I’m guessing this is the last weekend of the cherry blossom bloom. They were raining down on everyone enjoying them and the sun. Near our train tracks in downtown are these signs warning cyclist that they could get their tires caught in the rails….

POD – Sunday Wanderings

art in the park – yes, it is a dog dish. One of the new apartment buildings downtown has several wind turbines on it. They were all going today with the wind.  The baptist church downtown Functional art – these bikes are stored here by the Zoo Bombers – a group who go up to…

POD – Cement Art and Chicks

Both of these faces, I found on my run this morning. Someone had put them into the wet cement of a sidewalk. I think of how many times I walked over them before noticing.   The chickens were in the front yard today taking care of the moss. Or at least, that was my hope….

POD – Weekend in Seattle

I’ll write something more up about my weekend later. For now, a few of the photos I took. Pike Street Market – an accidental shot that I liked. I was setting testing to see if my white balance was set correctly, so took a random shot without looking through the view finder. I like the…

POD – Glass and Light

There is an artist – a painters to be specific – who used to paint with oils amazingly clear glasses – goblets usually. And I recall with amazement how he did it – how he got the light and dark so perfect that it made clear. The same artist used to make shiny surfaces too….

Day 299 – Pig Man

I have been lucky to have known many artists over the years.  I’m not talking those who call themselves artists – but I mean real artists.  People who live and breath to create pieces. One guy I actually worked with for about 12 years at my last company.  He worked out in the warehouse and…
