Since we all need Inspiration from time to time, may I present the The Siren Inspiration Book Part 1. I made this book years ago for my friends Sophie Ward and Stacy King to be an inspiration for a collaboration project we worked on called “The Siren Who Loved”. The book is 355 pages. None of the pictures are mine, just images found on-line. I’m really excited how it turned out. Even though the book is just an “in-house” book, I wanted to post a few excerpts out of each section, in hopes it inspires yawl. Hope you like it.

Yay! Happy Inspiration Friday, my friends! So i posted the song i wrote the other day. Let me know what you think of it :) The lovely Miss Stacy King is going to do vocals for it. I’m really really excited about it. The Instruments: Typewriter (for the beat), Cello, viola, Violin, Piano, Pads, other stuff but can’t remember… Also, I had an project idea today that involves whoever wants to be apart of it. The program is called “Blind Imagination” So basically the concept is: 1: You go out and record and put together 1-2 minutes of “Interesting” Audio and Email it to me at [email protected] 2: Then I will listen to it, and i will try to come up with a visual for the audio i pick. Try to make it interesting, and make it hard to for me to figure out what the audio is of. :) Whatcha think? Photos Via: Imable.se, Haw-lin.com, Ghostparties, TheVamoose, Supermassiveblackholes

Happy Inspiration Friday
I seriously can’t believe a week has gone by since we were in New York. This week went by So Fast. Since it’s been Pretty hot here in California, I thought this weeks Inspiration friday set would have the feel of a sunset in the summer. I hope you have a inspired day.

Hey, Friends!
Happy Inspiration Friday!
Been working hard on a pretty cool project that I can’t talk about yet, but will be able too soon enough. Right now it’s raining out side, and a cool breeze is drifting in the room and it feels amazing. Some of my favorite weather. While preparing this week’s Inspiration Friday post, I discovered an amazing landscape painter named Philip Govedare. Check him out! He’s really incredible. Well, I hope you have an inspired day! :) p.s. Did you like the first Dave’s Pick?

Happy Inspiration Friday my friends!
I thought since David and i are writing a book that takes place in another world, that it would be apropos to lay out some Inspiration Friday post that are inspired by other worldly things. The next thing i knew, i had laid out the posts for the next 9 weeks. This week is the first out of a 9 part series. I hope you like it. :)

p.s. if you know who took pictures 2,3, and 6. let me know ;)

For the life of me i can’t remember where the first picture is from.. The Second image is from cori kindred’s flickr page. The third image is the wall paper from either the 5th or sixth harry potter movie. the bottom photo is Snejana Onopka by Daniel Jackson)

Happy Inspiration Friday!
The theme for today’s inspiration friday is magic.
I’m currently working on a new picture and new video, going to try to finish it in the next few days. I can’t wait to post it. I hope you’re are inspired today. :)

Hey Friends, how is your Saturday going? I know it’s not Friday, but i actually fell asleep yesterday while uploading the Inspiration Friday images. It’s been so long since we’ve posted one. We’re happy to finally start it up again.

BookUpdate: We finished writing chapter 6 and started on chapter 7 this morning. So only 14 more to go. We are shooting to finish the rough draft September 15th. :)
(I’m sad to say i only know the source of one of the images. If you know any of these let me know. The 3rd picture is by Steven Klein)

Newcomer Portrait Series Update: I chatted a little bit with Anna Lund Sørensen, yesterday. She is quiet a lovely girl. I know i have already posted her portrait, but if your interest i can still do an interview for you. Let me know if you’re interested. and if so post any questions you would have for her. but do let me know:)

Hey Friends!
Happy inspiration Friday! We finally made it through another week! … A freezing week, i might add. This week’s inspiration Friday vibe is a sort of Romantic journey, where time seems to stand still as you’re walking in and out of universes playing hide and seek! I hope it inspires you today ;)

On a different note, I decided to continue painting the 4′ by 3′ oil painting i’m working on all on Ustream. So i will try to each week paint the different layers for you. But i saw a lot of you had trouble because of the time difference watching it. Is there a good time for me to do the next one? I’m thinking of doing it this coming up Monday (December 12), at either 10am or 2pm PST and i would paint for 3 or 4 hours.

Happy Inspiration Friday!
How was your week? I don’t know if i am the only person who feels like this, but did this week feel really long? I’m so tired today. I feel like i have been moving in slow motion. On a positive note, I finally got an Inspiration Friday post up. I just realized how long since i posted an inspiration Friday post. i planned the next four weeks of Inspiration Friday posts. It basically took me all day to lay them out, but I really like how they turned out. I hope you like the pictures. :)

Well, I got to get going, cause i completely forgot to order the pizza!
I hope you’re having a great day.
