Outside Lands Procrastinating from actual Writing Post

Our first day in SanFran, we decided to walk from our Hotel at Union Square to the Golden Gate Park. We didn't realize it was a ton of blocks. We wandered around quite a bit, and stopped to rest in this tiny garden.

James, aka Sequesto, aka Boot, represented the hometown with his Bend Roots Shirt. Besides being on our feet most of the day, we realized quickly that the weather changes in San Fransisco by the street block. The Garden was out of the wind for a moment, but the fog began to role in as we approached the park.


The design of the festival was pretty spectacular. The Six different stages were each designed by different artists- This one (for the Sutro stage) was designed by Matt Leines.


We kicked it off with The Cold War Kids- whose short but attention grabbing forty minute set got us quite excited for the rest of the festival.


I can't even begin to describe the scale of this event. This is a slice of the crowd we stood in before Radiohead on Friday Night. And this is just the first day.

More Soon. Laundry is waiting.

Slow Starts In Summertime

Some people think being a full time artist is about being on permanent summer vacation. On mornings like this one, I understand why they would assume so. It is absolutely gorgeous out today- but through an amazing display of self control, I am working.

Chicken Little is coming along slowly, but surely. I have been avoiding her face, and today I may just tackle it.

I finally got moving on The Owl- a slow one because I am creating the pattern as I go. The only thing I am quite sure of on this one is the pallet, which I borrowed from a monochromatic perfume ad full of pouting golden girls.

A special thank you to Owl for finally completing my beautiful desk so that I could really get to work. He started building it for my twenty sixth birthday. Three years later, it is lovely and the perfect size for the studio. I need to take photos of it to show it off, but that would require some organizing.
