Moving, Glitter, Much more!

Hi sorry it's been a while...for ALL those people lining up to read this...ahem..

Well I work with tiny baby kids and they are SO creative. I keep doing glitter projects that go over really well. Come to find.. I also love glitter. I'm trying to figure out a way to do glitter paintings that actually come off looking established. I haven't seen anything like that around and who doesn't love glitter? I'm trying first my usual paintings, adding on to my city pieces, and adding the glitter to the building windows, the city lights and and the sky. I've drawn up some sketches for more pieces that use glitter a little more heavily. let's see if this idea falls on its face... I'm off next week so most likely we'll find out then. I can say I did a display piece at school (not grad school) using oil pastels and glitter and that came off looking awesome!

I'm also MOVING. To a place 2 blocks away thats about 18 times the size of my current tiny tiny room. Its a 2 bedroom with just my girlfriend and I, which means one bedroom will be converted into an art studio--which is becoming necessary now with 3 easels and piles of supplies and even more piles of canvases taking over the room like a miserable beast.

In other news, I'm subletting the new place this summer from July 4th-August 15th ish. Rebecca and I will be travelling through Bolivia and Peru! I'm in the market for a small durable mandolin for her, and still trying to figure out what I would like to travel with.
