This is a process shot danny took while i was painting. I started painting at 10:00am and didn't finish until 3:00pm. We then photographed till 5:00pm. As always, i had a blast hanging out with my model. But when i am working i tend to forget to drink or eat so it was another all dayer that left my body super exhausted. Still it was well worth it. I still have so many wonderful poses to sort from, polish and post! So yea...still more photos to come from this shoot.

Also, last weekend Danny and I went to the Culture Control show in Vancouver Washington where Danny's artwork was being displayed along side other political/street art.


Quick snapshot i took of Danny standing next to the area where his work was posted.

Olin the organizer of the show did a great job jammin so much artwork into such a small place. Plus the live music was truly awesome. I love Vancouver!

....I know i have been talking on here about how i am painting a dear friend's canvas cloak. Well i finally have some more progress to show.
This is what i have so far for Wonder's woodsman cloak:

Danny helped me out by drawing the mushroom world on the bottom. I then painted them in. For this project i am using Lumiere metallic acrylic paint over a base of white screen print fabric paint. Fun stuff! Now to do the hood and start the front. Seems so far Wonder is super excited about the way its coming out. Yay!!

Unfortunately all my art progress came to a stand still this Monday when i came home from work with super sore throat and a fever. I ended up taking Tuesday off, resting up, taking some much needed herbal supplements, danny cooked me a healthy meal of curried lentils + broccoli and brown rice. This morning i woke up feelin fine and went to work. Now i am home with alil bit of a scratchy throat but i think the worst is over.
After I am done writing this blog i am hoping to run over to my art table and get to work on the painting I had hoped to start Monday night.
I will be painting this illustration of mine:

....not sure what color to make the background yet. I was thinking yellows. I will be painting her on a 14"x14" canvas.
I will let you know how it goes.

Thats pretty much it. Other then the fact that this Saturday will be my 1 year dready head anniversary.

...wich will simply mean my dreads are 1 year old! I will have danny take some proper pics for a nice dready journey update( have not done one of those in quite some time actually)

.....Ok, i should get goin now. its time to paint!
Much love to all.
Think healthy thoughts.
