Flowers

I am thankful for flowers: My biggest inspiration for my art is flora.  It's amazing how many different variations of these beautiful living things there are.  If I had to pick my favorite it would be a draw between a lotus or bird of paradise.  I know this was short but that's all I have guys... its been awhile, I def have missed this blog. Anyway have a great week and see you all again maybe around midweek.

Running

I am thankful for running: Running has always been a big part of my life.  I started competitive long distance running in 9th grade and have been racing ever since.  There is something about running that keeps me coming back for more.  Lately energy for running has been hard to come by due to work.  But everytime I lace up and start going it's like it's always been for me, like I was built for running.  I think my favorite time to run would be around mid fall to the beginning of winter, because as long as you are warm it's easy to breathe and your muscles stay cool.  Just like art; running will always be a part of my life.

Ice Cream

I am thankful for icecream: Over the weekend I ate about a pint of oreo ice cream and half of cookie dough.  I really love this tasty treat.  When I eat it before bed it's almost like reading a book, I get really sleepy and just want to pass out.

Sharpies

I am thankful for sharpies: In a  previous post I spoke about bic ink pens and how I really like to draw with them, and how they are my favorite thing to draw with. Number 2 choice for drawing would be a small black sharpie.. If you like to draw and you have one of these and some cardboard thats all you need.  The great thing about these is if you play your cards right multiple layers or coats are not needed, making drawing quick, efficient, and cost effective.  Included is a drawing I did on a cardboard box and the shading is done with spray paint.
