Art on Video, Frogger, Milli Vanilli, What More Could You Want?

I made this while I was a student, lots of art, philosophy, the game Frogger, and the secret origins of my dog's name. (Hint: her name is Millie Vanillie).

Five Inspirations to Live By

I believe in affordable art. I also believe in inspiration. These are both.
7" x 5" postcards (suitable for gifting, framing, mailing, or tacking up over your desk).
Get you some! Just $2.50 each. Available on the studio site. 

Card 1. Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass;
it's about learning how to dance in the rain.

Card 2. What if it were guaranteed that half your efforts would succeed -
  would you try twice as hard?

Card 3. Rule #1: Plant all your seeds. Rule #2: Visualize success.
Rule #3: Ask for all the help you need.

Card 4. In the end, only three things matter...
how much we loved, how gently we lived,
and how gracefully we let go of the things not meant for us.

Card 5. Don't ask yourself what the world needs.
Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that.
Because what the world needs is more people who have come alive.

Dancing in the Rain

This painting was inspired by the old proverb: "Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass; it's about learning how to dance in the rain." Hope you like...

24 x 18" - Gouache and ink on 100% cotton rag paper.

Stay tuned, I'm in the process of producing this as a 7 x 5" postcard, with the quote included.

Three Things I Love Today

#1. The Dumpster Project - When forced to downsize his huge collection of memorabilia/salvaged art supplies, Artist Mac Premo did so by creating a walk-in collage in a 30-foot dumpster, lovingly documenting and eulogizing its contents on his Dumpster Project blog. Beautiful, touching, and funny.

#2. This quote, from Winston Churchill: Success is going from failure to failure without a loss of enthusiasm.

#3. Collaboration. What a fun way to bring great people closer to you, to get inspired, and to expand your creative horizons. Here's a poster I recently designed in collaboration with my thirteen-year-old nephew:

Four's the Charm

Finally! I've tried four times to scan this painting, which I must do in pieces. I stitch the pieces together in Photoshop, as my scanner isn't quite big enough to do it all in one shot. Twice my software crashed, the third time the computer crashed, and now, computer repaired and software restored, I can happily report: Success! 

Dreams/Spores (or The Residue of Dreaming)
gouache on 100% cotton paper
18" x 24"

Apparently sometimes you have to go at it repeatedly before you succeed. Fours the charm, I suppose. Which makes me wonder, what else have I tried and failed that is worth another attempt, or perhaps three? A lot of things. Hmm...
