Hey Friends!
Happy inspiration Friday! We finally made it through another week! ... A freezing week, i might add. This week's inspiration Friday vibe is a sort of Romantic journey, where time seems to stand still as you're walking in and out of universes playing hide and seek! I hope it inspires you today ;)

On a different note, I decided to continue painting the 4' by 3' oil painting i'm working on all on Ustream. So i will try to each week paint the different layers for you. But i saw a lot of you had trouble because of the time difference watching it. Is there a good time for me to do the next one? I'm thinking of doing it this coming up Monday (December 12), at either 10am or 2pm PST and i would paint for 3 or 4 hours.

Traveling through the Mushroom Trees - Inspiration Friday

Pictures by Steven Klein, Sofia Sanchez and Mauro Mongiello, and i'm not sure who took the other two pictures.

Happy Inspiration Friday!
How was your week? I don't know if i am the only person who feels like this, but did this week feel really long? I'm so tired today. I feel like i have been moving in slow motion. On a positive note, I finally got an Inspiration Friday post up. I just realized how long since i posted an inspiration Friday post. i planned the next four weeks of Inspiration Friday posts. It basically took me all day to lay them out, but I really like how they turned out. I hope you like the pictures. :)

Well, I got to get going, cause i completely forgot to order the pizza!
I hope you're having a great day.

Hey Friends, happy Friday!
Wow this has been a long week for me.
Been working on tons of different types of projects,
and finally wore me out!
Ended up over sleeping by about 5 hours today,
so feeling a lot better.
The Inspiration Friday theme today was "The Land of Nymphs"
Cause you always have to have a nymph themed post every now and then ;)
I hope you're having a great day! and have a great weekend :)

Living in a Glass of Water - Inspiration Friday

Photos by Olaf Wipperfürth, jimmy backius, and not sure what the 3rd image is from.


Happy Inspiration Friday!
The Theme for this week is Living in a Glass of Water.
I know it's kinda a strange theme,
But this week Dave (my brother) and i were talking about how, when we used to have to make weight (for Wrestling tournaments), when we would go swimming, it would feel like we were swimming in a cold glass of water! hahah
i know, i know, kinda strange but it's what inspired this theme! haha
Well i hope you like it :)

P.S. The oil painting is shaping up, finished the underpainting and first glaze coat. and going to work more on it today :)

Grey Shades of Romantic Skies - Inspiration Friday

Happy Inspiration Friday my Friends.
How did the week go for you?
I'm pretty exhausted today,
but it should be alright because i have a pretty laid back day.
I'm working on concept art for my brother and my story book we are writing.
I seriously am dying for you to read it,
but we aren't as far as i was hoping we would be.
It's hard because we both have jobs other than writing...
so we have been sneaking writing sessions in on late nights and weekends.
Hope you have a day full of Inspiration :)

Lost Flowers in the Wilderness - Inspiration Friday

Happy Inspiration Friday, everyone!
I hope you are all doing well.
Last night my brother and I went and
Saw our friends Eisley and our friend
Christie DuPree play in San Diego. It
was a really fun concert and they sounded great!
Eisley played all of the songs
from their new album The Valley.
It was really fun to hear them all live!
They are playing on Sunday at the Troubadour in Hollywood
if you live in the area.
Check 'em out! : )
