Design That Works!Archive for muse
News!!
I know it has been a while, I have been quite busy!!! After starting at Michael’s as the Floral Designer, I have hardly had time to blog. So what’s been goin’ on?
I have been working on re-inventorying the local Michael’s with new arrangements. I think I have gotten up to 2 arrangements an hour where it was taking me an hour and a half before. It really helps knowing where things are and what I can and can not do. I have steadily been taking pics too, which I will start uploading on a seperate page called “Floral Design”.
I have also been working on some fine art pieces that I will be entering into several local art shows coming up soon. One of which, the Regions Bank show, I have already entered and was able to get one piece in.
The others will be the Riverfront show and the Prattauga show. I was really surprised I got in, seeing as how my work was a little bit more modern than what is typically shown. So I am so siked!
This past weekend I went to a good friends 30th bday party. It was pretty great. I drank ALOT and danced ALOT and well…lets just say acted as nutty as possible and can only recall bits and pieces.
BUT, great party non the less. I bought my friend this shirt http://www.designbyhumans.com/shop/detail/3813 and this set of earrings http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27850594.
My birthday celebrations are coming up as well and I am thinking about doing a year long art project to mark the year
It has been done by other artists, but I liked the thought of making myself do the work and at the end of my 30th year I will have aprox 365 artworks….IF I do it!! lol Which I CAN do it, it doesn’t take me long to make something, it’s just finding the time and making myself.
New fav shows: Tudors, Trueblood, LOST

My Muse…
I love love LOVE Jinyoung Shin’s work!!! I emailed her once about her medium, asking specifics. She inks and then colors it in photoshop. Lately I think she is taking a new turn…focusing more on contour lines and more natural organic shapes. For now, her gallery is down, but she occassionally posts in her diary. LOVE IT!!!
Combine it with a MUSE soundtrack and I’m in heaven! It’s all very Edward Scissor hands (aka Tim Burton-esque)

Good Morning!!
But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love, for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble. Psalm 59:16
This is an illustration I did a while back. It started as just a doodle and turned into a flower woman (tanks steph!)….


One of my favorite songs …I first heard the Muse version and then came across the originator, Nina Simone. She is now one of my favorites
