Inspiration Friday

Marie & the Peach Rose

Hey Friends!
Happy inspiration Friday! We finally made it through another week! … A freezing week, i might add. This week’s inspiration Friday vibe is a sort of Romantic journey, where time seems to stand still as you’re walking in and out of universes playing hide and seek! I hope it inspires you today ;)

On a different note, I decided to continue painting the 4′ by 3′ oil painting i’m working on all on Ustream. So i will try to each week paint the different layers for you. But i saw a lot of you had trouble because of the time difference watching it. Is there a good time for me to do the next one? I’m thinking of doing it this coming up Monday (December 12), at either 10am or 2pm PST and i would paint for 3 or 4 hours.

Happy Inspiration Friday!
How was your week? I don’t know if i am the only person who feels like this, but did this week feel really long? I’m so tired today. I feel like i have been moving in slow motion. On a positive note, I finally got an Inspiration Friday post up. I just realized how long since i posted an inspiration Friday post. i planned the next four weeks of Inspiration Friday posts. It basically took me all day to lay them out, but I really like how they turned out. I hope you like the pictures. :)

Well, I got to get going, cause i completely forgot to order the pizza!
I hope you’re having a great day.

The Land of Nymphs

Hey Friends, happy Friday!
Wow this has been a long week for me. Been working on tons of different types of projects, and finally wore me out! Ended up over sleeping by about 5 hours today, so feeling a lot better.
The Inspiration Friday theme today was “The Land of Nymphs” Cause you always have to have a nymph themed post every now and then ;) I hope you’re having a great day! and have a great weekend :)

Living in a Glass of Water

Happy Inspiration Friday! The Theme for this week is Living in a Glass of Water.I know it’s kinda a strange theme,
But this week Dave (my brother) and i were talking about how, when we used to have to make weight (for Wrestling tournaments), when we would go swimming, it would feel like we were swimming in a cold glass of water! hahah i know, i know, kinda strange but it’s what inspired this theme! haha Well i hope you like it :)

P.S. The oil painting is shaping up, finished the underpainting and first glaze coat. and going to work more on it today :)

Grey Shades of Romantic Skies

Happy Inspiration Friday my Friends.
How did the week go for you?
I’m pretty exhausted today,but it should be alright because i have a pretty laid back day. I’m working on concept art for my brother and my story book we are writing. I seriously am dying for you to read it, but we aren’t as far as i was hoping we would be. It’s hard because we both have jobs other than writing… so we have been sneaking writing sessions in on late nights and weekends. Hope you have a day full of Inspiration :)

Floating Back In Time

Morning my Friends!
Happy Inspiration Friday!! :)
Wow i’ve had way too many late nights this week!
But it’s been good learning so much.
I’m so excited for you to see what i’ve been working on! :)
Most of the images in the Inspiration Friday set are from one of my favorite movies, A Midsummer Nights Dream (1935).
The movie is magical so i thought i would throw a set together based on it.
I hope you’re having a very inspirational day!

P.S. What are your top 5 collections of this season?

Inspiration Friday Tribute

One Year Later Tribute to Alexander McQueen

Well, today is a very special edition of Inspiration Friday, as this is the one year anniversary of the death of Lee Alexander McQueen. I thought I would put together a special tribute to him for all of the times that he has inspired me. I’ve never been so consistently in aw and inspired by any other designer. He was able to create a world that was both beautiful and terrifying, but it was so clearly a world outside of ours. I don’t think I will ever cease to be inspired by all the wonderful things that he made. I hope this set of images inspires you today! :) I add a song i wrote that i felt like fit the mood of his collections.

p.s. My friend Chadwick Tyler chose his top picks for this season for the site fashion copious is a great article check it out here :)

Reliving Again & Again

(Images by Lina scheynius, Sarah Moon, and the first one is of sient film actress Lillian Gish.)

Happy Inspiration Friday!
I’m just getting rolling for today and so far so good.
Currently brewing some more coffee, and trying to get warm, and get on doing some writing.
Today’s Inspiration Friday theme kind of has a Groundhog Day theme to it.
The Concept was “An old memory that you want to relive over and over again.”
I really like how the set of images turned out. All of the pictures have a really warm and pleasant feel. ;)
Well, I hope you are having a great day! :)

Happy Inspiration Friday!
Yay, we made it!
This a Long and Fast week…I know it doesn’t make sense…
but it has been! hahah
I’ve been multi-tasking a lot this week which kind of gets me disorientated,
but i think i should have a good relaxing day of painting today.
Today’s inspiration Friday set, i really like the mood and the aesthetics of it.
Plus i got to put one of my favorite actresses Lauren Bacall in it,
and got to put a still from one of my favorite Alfred Hitchcock’s “The 39 steps ”
I hope have a great Inspiration Friday!
Welp, i hope you all have a great weekend!
