oh my god, yesterday a clown came to my house, and with her, a monkey... :D a monkey came to my house! can you believe it? her name was Annie Grace, and she was adorable! she was wearing a dress and a diaper lol she also had earings on, it was soo cute. (the monkey, not the clown o.o ) the earings dont hurt her because they are very light, and this monkey's ears are very thin, so when she got them done, she didnt even flinch, the clown said. i still cant believe it, im still in shock! the clowns name was harmony, which i thought was cute, but im not a big fan of clowns, its not like im afraid or anything, its just.. they freak me out... any way.... the annie did a few tricks for us, she opened a botle of water and drank from it, she put a grape in her mouth and juiced it, and when she spit it out, all that was left was the skin! she also climbed all over me, and we got a few pictures.

also, 2 days ago, i rode my bike down to the railroad tracks, you know, just to be alone, and a dog came out of the trees. he was a sweet dog, we walked together up and down the tracks, and we got pretty far, but when it was time for me to treck back through the trees and ride my bike home, he followed me, all the way home! he didnt leave all day and he slept in our back yard. the next day (which was yesterday) i walked out side, and there he was. we called his owner from the # on his tag, and he was in iowa! so we had to dogsit him until the owner's co-worker could come and get him (it turned out his name was whiley, if thats how you spell it). he was a very good dog, he didnt bark, he didn't jump, he didnt bite, he was soo cute! he looked like a golden retreiver-german shepard mix. idk, but he was cute. we took pictures with him, and i fell asleep on the poor dog, but he didnt mind. it was sad to see him go, but i know ill see him again someday, the owner says that he gets out a lot. ^.^

Young Filmmaker Needs Your Support

http://back-to-the-garden.gaia.com — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 04:26:41 GMT

Keeping it quick and to the point:

My son Jordan (singer/songwriter/novelist/graphicartist/filmmaker) has entered a contest to create a plot line for a horror film for HorrrorFest 2008). He loves horror movies (he DID NOTget that from me) and has come up with something clever. The problem is, he just found out about the contest yesterday and the deadline for votes for the winning concept is MONDAY.

If you like--or can stand--the horror genre at all, or if you just love film, or if you think artists should be given every chance to make art, please go before Monday to: http://www.massify.com/pitches/channel
and vote for Jordan's concept. It will involve registering on the site (it can be rather anonymous) and then casting your vote. He would really appreciate your support!

It's a little frustrating that talented young artists have to jump through rather stupid hoops sometimes to get support for their creative efforts, but that is a discussion for another blog.

Mille bacci and mercy buckets.

I have been doing these little Mandalas for fun and I was looking for a way to improve the process. I now design them by hand, then scan and color with Photoshop and make posters out of them.

What I do is take words or short phrases and use the letters themselves to create a design. I can fit up to 15 characters -more than that and it starts looking a little too crowded.

I have several images posted on one of my sites. They do look pretty cool if I may say so myself.

To see them, go to the "Commissions" gallery here: Riverside

Let me know what you think.

Frodo failed
Bush has the ring...

LOL.. How funny is that???

I checked out your deviant art site. WOW. I am contemplating adding deviant art to my "to do" list. Of course, right now with 2 art projects in progress, 1 website, 3 blogs, 2 cafe press stores, and 1 etsy store, a number of ideas on the back burner, and a regular job - I'm not sure how I could manage it. I really did enjoy your little space there. It was so cozy I didn't want to leave.

Thank you for your comment!
My husband is an orca fan and I had promissed him a photomanip. When I saw this sky stock image, I suddenly had the idea. Why not? ;-)

Hi Shirley!
Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your wonderful work with us too! I love the Ring of power ... makes me think about the Lord of the ring in a way ... I have a little joke on that one: I saw a bumper sticker saying:

Frodo failed.

Bush has the ring!

:-D

Well, yes, in fact all my work is at deviantArt here's the link to my gallery:

Wow, your painting just blew me away!

(That's the name of this picture, and that's how I feel about the art on this page!)

Diana: I love the dolphins and the water, sky, surf effect you created. It's just beautiful. Did you say that you had some stuff up at deviant art?

And here is another painting I did, it's mixed media on paper.
It's called "Ring of Power".

I am really looking forward to what everyone else will post in the upcoming months. Thanks a lot Diana for this opportunity to share our work.

FREEDOM: photo manipulation ... if you want to see it in full view ...
