Fun in the Snow!

Just wanted to share some pictures with you guys!! I live in the South so we are always surprised when we get snow!!! The city literally shuts down!! So, a few weeks ago this is what I was stuck at home doing!!! Playing in the snow!! My girls have never really seen it before..it was so cute to see how their eyes lit up when we told them to look out the window!!! They love it! We made snow angels, threw snowballs and then built this snow bunny!!! It would have been bigger but they started complaining about being cold. ( Those wimps) I did spend some of  that time painting and I will be posting those later.

Time Lapse Video:Painting 2009 KreepshowPeepshow Channel

I love You Tube. Sometimes I go there and search for new artist. I simply search for mixed media artist or time lapse painting. I like to see how they put things together. In the beginning I learn about alot of new products by watching what other artist used and how they used them. The artist above is New to You Tube her channel is listed above as well. Go and check out some of her art on her blog. I think its really Kool!!! I encourage you guys to go and take a look at some of the artist on you tube you may learn something New...I'm always inspired by their work!!!

Gotta love that! For the last 2 weeks I have been doing nothing but painting. I cant wait to share it with you guys.

Sing Off - Committed.mpeg

He's the pastor in the clip. How Kool!!! Then, the part where they're looking thur the records is actually taken @ The Flying Monkey, The art center where I sell my art. Very, Very Kool!!!!

Flying Monkey Logo Contest

The week I setup my display @ The Flying Monkey I learned about a Contest that they were hosting. The contest was to redesign some of the existing logos. The winning Logo would be featured on a Limited Edition Shirt and the proceeds of the shirt will be distributed among the winning artist. How Cool!! So I thought I would give it a try. So, this is what I came up with....

I think he's cute. I really like the red and green. While we were there my sister came with a logo too. ( I must say I think hers is better :) This is what she came up with ...

I love the plane and how she incorporated the existing logo on the tail. Too cute. The contest ends on Dec 30th and we cant wait to see what the winning logo will look like. So what do you guys think?
