i think it says something..

I bought this image last fall....as in Fall 2008. I thought it would be an interesting candidate for some of the cut out images I had been working on. However, I hadn't gotten the image back out since I bought it. That is until today.
This spring, I was accepted into a graduate program in San Francisco. On our hunt for a new home, we have been considering across the bay from San Francisco in an area called Alameda for the cheaper rent and small town feel. If I were to live there, I had thought ideally, I could ride a ferry from there to SF for school everyday. This ferry is the same exact ferry line as the one in the image.

Always look closely.

there is a woodpecker on the roof of my apartment every morning..

Here's to goats on your roof...

one. two. two little indians.

Just some cyanotype rif-raf from 2009 that I would love to return to if I could just find the time!

This was a test I did for a quilt. The goal was to print this image of my grandmother and her brother on an old quilt. I got as far as the final print and then found it ruined by a bad batch of chemicals. Rats.

my collection of characters

So, I buy a lot of stuff at thrift stores....Some might consider it a problem...

Over the past year, I've purchased a lot of stuff, including a lot of photographs. Many of which, I don't necessarily plan to include in my artwork but instead hang on my walls, store away for later, or use for inspiration. Anyway, while doing some organizing today, I realized they were worth posting.
They are indeed a quite nice little collection of characters....
