Twinrocker


This is the handmade paper sampler from Twinrocker. Fresh from my mailbox today. Soooo excited to discover what painting on some quality papers will be like. And, nevermind the stupid paper because I love that label!

Funny later



Ha - that's funny.

When I took this photo, I didn't really know it was funny because I hadn't read very many books. But, now. Now, it's funny.

Beach Art


When I met my family in Myrtle Beach for vacation, I had 2 things on my mind -- swimming in the ocean and getting an airbrushed-tshirt for a souvenir.

As luck would have it, there was a carnival 2 blocks from our condo, right on the water.  A ferris wheel ride, with salt in the air and promises of ice cream to come... there's few things better. And yes, there was an airbrush artist there cranking out shirts, right out of my dreams.

My eye immediately went to the dolphin design. It's too perfect with the "together forever." I only wish I had brought my own t-shirt because they had no girl-friendly shirts. I swear next year I will bring my own shirt!

I was told the "best friends" design was one of their best sellers! But, of course!!

Albrecht Dürer

Albrecht Durer logo
Whenever I'm at the Blanton Museum of Art, looking at their fantastic print collection, I inevitably come across an Albrecht Durer. His work is always worth looking at longer than some of the other stuff and there's always that signature mark of his.  It's just so perfect and distinct. And, soooo ahead of it's time for something that's sooo arts & crafts looking.
