i’m making the switch from oils to acrylics. i’m using golden’s open acrylics, which are supposed to simulate the feel of oils, but fall short. everything from the fluidity to the smell is off.
but there are upsides. paintbrushes can now be cleaned with water instead of turpentine, and the lack of authentic smell also means […]
over the holiday break, i completed a mural in our second floor bathroom. it’s an intimate space, and the mural ended up wrapping around three of the room’s four walls.
mural painting is, of course, very different from the paintings on canvas i typically do, and i often found myself sore in the mornings from the […]
this has to be the coolest bike helmet ever. hand-painted by danielle baskin of belle helmets.
with over one hundred engagement photos, five hundred wedding photos, and two thousand honeymoon photos to show off, it hardly seems right to do one simple “we’re married!” entry and be done with it. so here’s the start of a series of posts, beginning a handful of engagement pictures taken by my good friend and […]

now it looks so great.
bad ideas

accomplishment
i make things pretty
but break […]
this seems doubly true for me now, freshly married with a new home and packing for a 2.5 week cruise in the eastern mediterranean.

this is definitely some of coolest installation art i’ve ever seen. too bad it only runs through october.
the lesser known alice will be showing for a month at zero zero, with a closing reception thursday, 9 july.
as i wrap up the pieces, my mind churns with thought. by monday’s install, i will have completed a series of sixteen drawings and nearly twenty framed sketches for this show. the equation looks something like […]
