Look At This, Look At That: A Tribute to Dr. Seuess

I am so happy to have been a part of the Gallery Nucleus Dr. Seuss Tribute show! Mr. Geisel was a brilliant man, whose work will surely inspire many more generations to come. There are so many amazing pieces at the show, I am humbled to be a part of it. Go check it out! It'll be up until March 24th.

My piece is a mashup of The Sneetches and Cat In The Hat

Acrylics, 6"x16"

Landscape painting

Went landscape painting for the first time in almost a year! A lot of anxiety caused from rustiness, but I hope to continue going out and painting. It was a great hike with some real cool people!

People Sketching

I'm a lazy-poo and don't have a scanner, so I took some "hipster-fied" photos with my phone of some of my people-watching sketches

What I saw someone else wear the other day #3

What I saw someone else wear the other day #2

get ready for a lot of walking poses... and flippity flops. And bleached blondes?

What I saw someone else wear the other day #1

I wanted to participate in the "what I wore today" postings others have been doing, but I only have like five basic outfits that I cycle through. :/
However, I've been lucky enough to commute to Hollywood every weekday for work...and thus a new trend has been born: "What I saw someone else wear the other day."

Graduated

So... I graduated. Yayyy!
