Sea In You

I just found some pictures I took last summer. My super Jess Pleasant was visiting from Brisbane and we walked around our alma mater, Christopher Newport University for the afternoon. Then onto Va Beach for toes in sand, et cetera. What a nice surprise old hard drive!

BadLove

So, a few weeks ago I promised my Tainted Love playlist. No joke, it's literally taken me this long to figure out how to move something from iTunes to Blogspot. The idea was songs about the dark side of love. Disfunction, obsession, swoonkings like Morrissey or The Cure. Raunch like "Drain You" or cries of desperation over synthpop. It was varied but mainly upbeat. Hope you dig.

Collage-a-Dodge

Just finished this collage. I started making it about a month ago and then completely forgot about it. Only needed about thirty minutes work today. So glad it's off my agenda now...only 2,345 things left to do!

SPINning

I can't believe I've waited an entire week to share this, but hey, better late than never, right? Last week, the Sunday paper featured the SPIN project I've been working on since May. 

Here's the article.  To sum up: "Because there is no law, Owens said, some officials and performers are confused about whether entertaining on sidewalks is legal, and people who might otherwise perform outdoors may not because they fear repercussions."

The weather's been picking up nicely around here and a busker (and often more) have been out every single weekend for months, and now I'm seeing them several times per week. There's a major opportunity coming up next month, with the second annual Art|Everywhere art exhibit/street festival. I'm so excited to watch this grow from something amazing last year to something much more.

Here are some more of my SPIN pictures from the last year or so.
