Spring has sprung here in Arizona, and the weather cannot be more glorious.  I celebrated by riding my bike to work today.  I dearly wish I could ride every day, but right now it’s just not in the cards.  I LOVE being on my bike!  It is the closest thing to flying that I know. Here are some of the things I see on my ride to work: A duck pond. A golf course. A frisbee golf course. More ponds and golf courses. Tempe Town Lake. That’s »

Ok, OBVIOUSLY I have been thinking and thinking and WAY over thinking EVERYTHING.  I think with the art school thing I’ve been trying to explain and convince and rationalize, and there’s not really anything that needs to be explained, there’s no one who needs to be convinced, and there is nothing to rationalize.  Done and done.  So, it’s time to stop thinking and thinking, and time to get back to just doing.  Most importantly:  »

As I’ve started getting more and more arty, though, these festivals have taken on a totally new tone.  Instead of coming away inspired, I often leave feeling overwhelmed, dejected, and »

What a perfectly timely wishcasting from Jamie today!   She asks:  “What to you wish to say NO to?” Ugh, I am FEELING this today.  There are a couple of items that have been hanging over my head like dark purple storm clouds and the amount of mental energy it’s taking me to avoid them is just not worth it.  So while I had intended on making today a free and clear art night,  I’ve decided instead to take on CLOSING THESE »

It’s been raining and raining here in Arizona.  Honestly, I feel like I fell asleep and woke up in Seattle or something.   I love it because it gives me a perfect excuse to stay inside and do art!  But I know the good outside weather is coming…soon!  Plus, due to classes and work and other such craziness as sleeping and eating,  haven’t had the big chunks of time that I’m used to, which means I’m not getting very »
