My search for work shoes has led to

 

finding fun shoes! 

YIKES! It's been a LONG time!

I'm not even sure where to begin...
but let's start with one of my "distractions" :)

I received a package from Missy aka Boopsie Daisy
back in May and was really inspired by a few books she included.

 I set out the books as well as some other images, did a few sketches and drafted some lines on the laundry room wall.

In addition to these books, I was also inspired by

Peter Max and The Flaming Lips. 

In the early stages, it looked like this:

By mid October, it transformed into this:

and today... (although, I haven't worked on it over the past few weeks)

it appears like this:

Hoping to get back to painting again soon :)

January Inspiration

I recently completed a mini-makeover in my studio which included painting my hutch black. I immediately realized that the stark black was making me feel like I was being forced to create in a cubicle. I removed the top shelf and created an inspiration station that I can easily change as my inspiration changes.

In January, I was inspired by:

*The flickr group sixty-four colors.
Each week a new Crayola® Crayon is introduced and members are encouraged to go out into the world and photograph something with that color.

*The “Re-Think” advertising campaign by Saturn

*The 70’s

*Harajuku Lovers

* Vintage style enamel brooches by Free People

*Orange mushrooms with white polka dots

*Vintage Japan pedestal mugs from the 60's
