my best friends are famous!

check out the Rhett and Link from Omaha.

pizza, books, and monuments.

started my spring break early this week while my favorite person was back in town.
we had to keep our favorite tradition alive. d'bronx, prospero's, memorial arch. good stuff.


left our mark "smoke signals" style.









past years: 2012, 2011

snowdays.

I'm a huge fan of snow that keeps me away from class and work. it's beautiful and amazing. I got to do a lot of sleeping and painting and eating warm food. and really who doesn't want to just sleep, paint, and eat? (and probably watch a lot of tv. that also happened)

snowmageddon

anytime we get this much snow the only logical thing to do is build an army of snowmen, gather "weapons," and level them.

2012

I made a video recap at the beginning of last year and enjoyed the result enough to try again this year. here is 2012 in less than four minutes.



and my favorite new years song:

sweet afton studio.

a while back I mentioned that I would be interning with sweet afton, and the designs I did for them are done, printed and I've held them in my hands! I'm a little psyched.



for more about the prints/process, visit the shop.

that is all.

creative endeavors.

I finished this project on tuesday and it's definitely my favorite so far. I feel like I find a new movement to identify with every semester. this time I'm an abstract expressionist. it's decided. I just knew this was coming.






this little man kept me company for part of the time. he's about the greatest.


(notice the lack of blue on him. I am the greatest aunt ever, especially considering the first photo)

creative endeavors.

this is the latest project I did for painting, and it's a superflat self-portrait.
I definitely had a love-hate relationship with it. I enjoyed it quite a bit for a while. then it became pretty tedious and time-consuming, but I still can say I liked the project. even if none of the work I do right now seems to turn out quite like I'd expected, I could say the unpredictable nature is part of the fun, and maybe I'll just leave it at that haha.

I loved it at this stage and kinda want to revisit this idea at some other time just incorporating elements like this.


finished-ish.

(the colors are just a little off so you can't quite tell, but the hair is purple.)
