AniOman
I found the online gallery AniOman via Craigslist and I'm really, really impressed. I really like the format, it's very viewer-friendly - the white background and simple framing really does a good job of replicating the brick-and-mortar gallery experience online. I put …
Homecoming.
I've been in Iceland visiting my husband's family and showing some American friends around my adopted second home for the past 12 days. I'm slowly uploading the photos from the trip, and will certainly update when that mammoth task is completed. In the meantime, this is …
Love You Forever.
I stumbled across this photo from Flickr user sewnwithcare and... I have not the words. The text is from the children's book Love You Forever, and even at a tender young age, this book would make me misty. Just thinking about it now makes me want to cry a little bit (in …

Other Octopi!
Here are some octopus drawings I stumbled across today on Flickr. (Have I mentioned that I am having a torrid love affair with Flickr? Because I am.)
Iceland in pictures!
I finally finished editing my photos from my recent adventures in Iceland! They are available as a set on Flickr, and of course, here are some highlights.

A "Body" of Work.
Two new collages. I'm really pushing myself to keep working on an anatomy theme and not get sidetracked just randomly gluing things in my boxes of paper (fun as that is!) rather than focusing in on what I'm really trying to get done. If I want to put together a body of …

New Journal.
Life is quite hard at the moment and I've been pouring myself into my journal. (I've even been writing song lyrics like I'm still seventeen.) In addition to melodrama, I've been including several... colloodles (collage + doodle = colloodle).

Brains... it's what's for dinner.
I went up to visit my parents in Vermont last weekend, which happily coincided with the annual library booksale. For $3, I got all I could carry, including a stack of old books about the brain.

Destinations.
It's very rare that I make art specifically for myself, but I had the inspiration this afternoon to use the boxes (I have three of them!) of old National Geographic magazines to make some small collages to hang on my wall in the living room. Right now, I've got some …
