Art, Empowering Discussions

why not?

LIFE CAN BE WAY TOO SERIOUS! Sometimes I just need to be free and stretch my legs.

Why not walk down the street and let your imagination run free. Up doorsteps, fire escapes, trees and walls. My imagination knows how to bring a bright goofy smile to my face as I walk down the street.

Imagine bright oddly shaped flowers blooming out of mailboxes, vines climbing up the wall with silly little creatures that swing to and fro.

Imagine painting a mural on a blank wall. Maybe you add glitter or feathers or paint the pieces of trash you found in the gutter and glue those to the wall.

Imagine those rain puddles as bright colored pudding where the kids jump and splash, licking the splattered pudding off their faces and laughing all the while.

Imagine fairies and elves poking their heads out from behind trees as you pass and showing off their own bright goofy smile.

Imagine that the most mundane tasks are accomplished while dancing. Is the mail person wearing a tutu and tossing letters and packages perfectly into the boxes and arms of those that are waiting. Is the delivery person walking on his hands and carrying boxes inside stacked on his feet? Are those people in their office cubicles taking breaks and singing out the window?

Imagine a world where for a few minutes you are just happy. You are not thinking about deadlines and dinner times and play dates and plans.

Just imagine.

Fly, Soar, Reach.

This is a graet affirmation for days when you are tired of working hard, but are not ready to give up just yet. I usually do a lot of color, but sometimes I feel just black and white make the prefect contrast for a particular design. This one for me really pops out at the viewer. I hope you enjoy it.

It’s an Elephant Silly!

It’s an elephant silly.
It isn’t a giraffe.
It has big ears and a trunk for laughs.
But don’t laugh at an elephant.
They are big and strong.
They will step on you until you are black and blue!

New Floral Portraits

Roses are red or sometimes pink and they grow out of your head. That’s what I think.

Inspiration is all around

It can be anything from seeing graffiti to a unique building.  Not a day goes by that I am not inspired to rush home and draw.

This weekend was an overload of inspiration.I went to the Martin Luther King Celebration at the World Beat Center. This place is located in Balboa Park, San Diego. The outside and inside of the building is covered in bright cheerful murals.  There were Aztec Dancers, Capoeira dancers and Raggae bands. It was a feast for the eyes as well as the ears.  After spending a few hours in that luscious place and leaving with some great gifts, I strolled around Balboa Park.

The architecture and art adorning the park is magnificent.  Every time I go there, I find something new. This time I found a hidden valley that contained giant trees with roots taller than me, a mural divided into 3 panels and a Jazz musician playing the Pink Panther theme song.

This Tree of Fortune was inspired by the inability to know what the future really holds, but to know that it always holds something to inspire and activate my soul.

Alien Hamburger Meteor Shower

I have been meaning to add this to my online store for months. Perhaps I am not the only person to have dreams of hamburger type aliens from outer space attacking earth in a shower of meteors?
