Sunday Snaps: Ground Horse
Took a long walk in Glen Helen and it was gorgeous. I always manage to see little creatures and not just live one's but one's that exist in the mind's eye. My husband says I'm like that little girl in the movie The Fall, always full of imagination and collecting little boxes of trinkets.
This is a tree root; looks like a horse trying to break free and run wild in the woods.
Classical Drawing and Hair
more info
20 minute poses and our model had this classical look that made her such a pleasure to draw, alas she is moving out of state :(
Hair is always a problem for me, and the last thing I even want to confront, but I really like how the hair and bun turned out.

Yarnbombing at the Corner Cone
and spuggy sez
there's a right yarn going on there too.
Oh, of course I had to put a bird on it ;)
Owner Bob Swaney commissioned me to do a yarnbomb and gave me free reign. I slowly knitted it over the winter. Probably could have done it in minutes with a machine, but there is something about doing it by hand and for a specific location that makes it personalized and special.

There is something about country drives that are so soothing to the soul and last week I saw this graveyard statue when we were driving through Beavercreek Ohio.
Talking about soothing I won't pretend things have been soothing lately. The constant theft of so much of my work has been very damaging to my creative incentive and pretty depressing. Suffice it to say that
Nice Try but it's still my art

Spin Flower
Oh I know, someone adjusted the hue and saturation, squished the image, and photoshopped it to look like it's sitting on hands BUT
I would love to see how anyone could possibly could have made an exact copy of mine? You see I did not use an ordinary spin art machine to create it and it took more than 5 minutes to create. It

Copyright: It's not a DREAM, it's a nightmare
yep, another one of my spin art paintings Peacock Dream from 2010 used by a dj for a music video.
You would think all spin art looks the same but there is a certain technique I used with a home built machine that distinguishes them.
And here it is

Life Drawing: Such a Struggle
We had a GREAT model at the studio yesterday, an absolute professional and knows how to do a range of classical poses. Boy oh boy though did I struggle, took me 20 minutes just to get this down and even then I wasn't getting it. I ask myself at times like this why the heck do I put myself through this, it's so frustrating and then I read THIS article by Judith Schaechter. It's a long read but
Drawing and Yarnbombing
And it's time for this spuggy to get on with her day, life drawing, and no doubt I will pick the most awkward angles to draw.
Okay this isn't awkward, but hands are a challenge for me and the other hand was really hard to made sense of visually.

Spin Art on Design Portfolio? Chicago Art Festival?
So back in 2010 I talked about how easy it is to set up your own spin art machine and do your own. I guess some don't want to spend actual time doing their own. Don't they teach the students about copyright at Louisiana State University?
Using it for a class assignment is one thing, using it for your online design portfolio website is another.

Strolling down to Street Fair
Each year it seems Street Fair gets busier and busier, and MORE garage sales lining the way down Dayton Yellow Springs Road. Thankfully we can just stroll on down and I spied a stencil on the way. Always love coming across odd things when you least expect them.

Who cares about YOUR copyright?
I had a dream last night of an eagle soaring above my head and I rushed to get my camera. I zoomed in and it was so beautiful and majestic. I was in AWE. I could even see the air ripples in slow motion as the eagle soared in the blue skies.
Click! Click!
BUT
NOTHING!
There was no image on my camera.
I was so disappointed
THEN
I woke up.

Taksim Square is the heart of Istanbul, a green space and refuge from the concrete jungle that surrounds it, and a place with great historical significance. So when the government decided to build a mall on that spot with no public input or support people objected. 50 environmentalists protested in the park (which has always been a place for peaceful protests and gatherings) the police
