Doodling & Day Dreaming
OOOOOH MY! GOOD MORNING! Don’t be fooled by the caps, i’m not in any way a morning person… but today i’m sipping coffee, it’s kinda cool outside, so i’m feeling pretty gooood! So, i was working on a drawing last night, and my brother thought i should post the sketch. i really like how her face turned out. i think i’m going to follow through with a pollished version, but then again, i really like how the sketch turned out. …oh, and if you are wondering about the text written on the sketch, they were song lyrics of the song i was listening to when i drew the picture, and it just seemed fitting some how, hahah. Oh, and we have a new member to The Dream Walking Society the Lovely Miss Geri Hirsch is going to start contributing to the site. I’m really happy with the site so far; the goal was to have a site inspired by dreams, but then also to inspire dreams. And i’m happy to say IT’S WORKING! Well, at least for me that is… haha! Ever since we started it 3 days ago i have been having super vibrant and long dreams. I hope the site does the same for you. *Note: “The rain is falling it looks like love” is from the song Look Up by Stars : )
Series on Love
The Dream Walking Society
Well, hello my friends. How’s your day going? Is it hot where you are? cause it sure is here…. not really liking it! haha Well, on a positive note, just finished another painting in my “Series on Love“. I’m having way too much fun on this series! Thank you, thank you, to everyone who has been sending me inspiration for the series! It’s really helping me :) Oh, also yesterday, i started a site with my friend Stacy called “The Dream Walking Society“. The site is full of dreamlike images and videos and music, etc. The name came about cause I’ve always wanted to figure out a way to travel in my dreams into my friend’s dreams… haha i know that sounds silly, but it’s true. So that’s how the Dream Walking Society came about. Click here if you want to check it out! Let me know what you think ;)
Series on Love
Dreaming up a Series
Hello hello my friends, how is your day going? My day’s been super laid back, been hanging with my family, we watched Pinocchio (which is the most genius movie made!!!!!), and spent the day chatting & discovering new inspiration images with my friend Stacy. (She’s an amazing singer song writer click here to check out her band). We found some great images, but when i came across this one image from Federica Simoni Flickr Page i just knew it would translate into a great drawing, plus i’ve been wanting to start a new drawing series called “Love” so this is my second painting in the series. i hope you like it! :) p.s. My brother showed me that there is a fan site of my work on Facebook, and i just wanted to say thank you, thank you, thank you so much. Yawl are amazing for starting it. If anyone wants to check it out click here P.s. If you have any images or if you stumble onto any images you think would be good inspiration for my Series on love, I would love to see them! :)
