Women Artist Revolution

I had never heard of any of these women (and one man) until I
watched Women Artist Revolution (W.A.R.) I'm very lucky to
have been able to view it!! I recommend that anyone who has
an interest in the arts, history, sociology, gender studies, being
a well rounded person, whatever, to watch it!

PRINTS

Mixed media on plastic sheet. Intaglio print 11' x 15'

Mixed media on cardboard. Intaglio print 11' x 15'

Dry point on foam board. Relief print 11' x 15'

The quarter is starting off really well. I've been pretty on top of
my school work, I mean look I already have three prints!
Yesterday was a total loss, ugh I dislike thinking about it. The
night before I had too much caffeine and couldn't rest fully. In
the morning I had breakfast with a gorgeous man but the rest of
the day dragged on. Could hardly keep my eyes open in class and
spent my time at home half awake. Today will be better, going to
be super productive and get all kindz of stuff done.

Fun with microns

Drew these little guys for some friends of mine. School is in full swing again and I must say I am actually enjoying it. Hopefully I'll have some prints up soonish.

Prints, Prints, Prints!!!

My body of work from Intro. to Printmaking at Portland State University, Fall quarter, 2011.
All are printed from zinc plates and are hand inked with india ink.

Portland is a magical vortex

Moving
Steady now
Steady now
Steady now
About one
Mile per hour
Mile per hour
Mile per hour
Upwards
Slow and steady
Slow and steady
Slow
And I've never been more
Touched by
Girls hands

Pretty little fingers
They will become the stars
The world is
A rolling stone
Simultaneously gathering and
Hunting
They will become the stars

THESE MAGIC MOMENTS

Living through music I guess you could say.

Its ridiculous how much I listen to music. I'm constantly singing,
lyrics always running through my mind, so much so that I'll be in
a car other than my own, or out somewhere with friends, at the
movies or whatever and I'll have moments where I'm wishing
that I was listening to a particular song instead of doing
whatever I'm doing. I guess you could call it obsessive but music
just means so much to me. Plain and simple. I get such a thrill
and so many emotions running through me when I listen to
songs that I love. I relate to them so much. I've had Algernon
Cadwallader songs playing in my head for the last three days, I
don't want it to end.

Feels like the next step is to start playing music.

Doubt, my usual downfall

The move to Portland is nearing closer and closer. Guess you could say that I'm nervous or apprehensive, but excited all the more. I had a dream last night that I gained about 30 pounds and had a big hump on my back. These feelings that I have are extra baggage, weighing me down.

I had this really awful feeling on Tuesday. Feelings of pain on my neck and shoulders and one sharp pain around my left hip. After I had a tough conversation that I had been avoiding all these pains went away, I felt lighter. Its amazing what the body can do. Now I have to have the conversation with myself. Get myself out of bed in the morning and outside, even though I think sleeping in is "luxurious" because I don't have any other obligations in the morning and I should "take advantage" of the extra sleep.

In the dream I had there was also a lot of swimming in pools. Its been on my mind. Its summer and I really enjoy swimming. Art will be posted later, I've been meaning to put some up.
