Well, here we go.

This is a picture of my summer art in progress:

I made mixed-media collages of the three cities I have lived in, and then spray-painted their skylines over the collages; these are their templates. There's something about cities and skylines that I really love. I enjoy the familiarity of a skyline and being able to say you know your way around a certain city. It amazes me that a simple skyline can relate people, yet that everyone experiences specific cities differently. These collages were my personal interpretation of the three cities.

I also love the way words look when incorporated into art. I'm still trying to figure out why this is....

p.s. So Allie and I went to the Portland Pirate Festival..... It was an adventure to say the least.
We bought this live bird as a class pet and for the poster:

Just kidding... but could you imagine?!
