curious and curiouser

I said I would post my finished photography collage project, so here it is! I may do a bit more work on it to age it but this is pretty much the final version.

they have benefit concert

This weekend has been absolutely crazy! We had the concert last night which was phenomenal. So many people came out to support us and we had an amazing time playing, it was so much fun. D.k. did an awesome job as our opener and all of my friends, family, and friends' family who helped out completely made the event possible. I am so thankful to have such great people in my life! I'm relieved that it is over and went so well, but sad that its done at the same time. Hopefully we can have another concert before the end of summer when everyone splits for school. Here are some pictures taken by my friend c.n. (unfortunately there weren't any good pictures of our drummer c.d. or lead guitarist a.b.)

it's so many miles but it won't be long

Ok so this is me keeping things up to date here. The current chaos of my life includes: cycling to Seattle in the Ride to Cure Cancer in just over a week, playing/organizing a benefit concert which is happening this weekend, currently in a condensed summer class for digital photography, and attempting to move to Vancouver for school this summer. Yikes. Tonight we had a dress rehearsal out of the shop where we practice and it went really well! Despite some minor disasters we ran into this week, it seems like things are finally all in place. Tomorrow we get the keys to the hall and can start setting up for our first legit concert. So exciting. It is looking like we will raise more than $1,500 for the Ride in this one event too which is spectacular. I am so grateful for everyone's help and glad that a lot of people want to come out and support us.

I took pictures yesterday of myself and Lydia for my next photography project which I am very excited about. It will involve many teacups, old books, and us ladies projecting out of picture frames on the wall. It is nice to have an excuse to play around in photoshop all day free of guilt. Going along with my love for everything vintage, we dressed accordingly. Here are some pictures we took outside in our outfits (k.y. makes a guest appearance when he came early to practice a song with me). I will post the finished photo soon!

p.s. this is my new hair color! looks super violet in this pic but is not so bright in real life. inspired by these beautiful ladies...

you've got me standing in an awkward position

This was my first print project in my first semester of University done back in 2007. The theme was conflict and I was (obviously :P) thinking of the conflict between your head and your heart. I didnt realize until recently though the ties that this piece has to recent themes that Ive been exploring. My interest in children's storybook illustrations and the compromise of innocence for experience had been recently developed, i had thought. Apparently not. Its interesting how things begin to link and come full circle. eerie.

they have play

This is my band! I made a collage of pictures and traced us out with my tablet. I tried to find a picture of us all doing something with our hands haha. Quite fun :)

i should be sleeping like a log

Finally nearing the end of the semester which means the onslaught of projects and papers begins. I had reserved tonight for getting started on my 12 page art history paper, which turned into me playing guitar and dicking around in photoshop. Productive.

Guilt of not working on homework has prevented me from taking any pictures recently, I can't wait for these next few weeks to be over. Im super stoked for my photography course that starts in May and since its the only class im taking I will actually be able to enjoy it. Yay! But for now, I will have to be satisfied with posting some older things.

I figured that I should probably post some of my own art, so here it is! This was my final project of my last semester's print class. It is a combination of photo, etching, and digital editing. This is one of my favorite print projects that I have done, I had the most fun working on it.
