Sketching Nouveau

This summer I have had a bit of an obsession over both Art Deco and Art Nouveau.

Yesterday I went over to our local central park and spent some time sketching a tree in the Japanese garden, and tweaking of Deco/Nouveau line patterns.

Warm parks in the fall rock.

Halloween and Walgreens

Every Halloween I like to go to places like Walgreens, Target, etc. etc. to see all the cheap plastic crap that comes out out of China, and into our homes.

Each year it gets better and better... here's some of my favorites.

Social Diversion: Couture Obama Experiment Cards

My signifigant other is Lyrica Glory founder of Social Diversion, a paper arts company that creates boutique, couture non-business calling cards for high class singles, business owners, and the entirely unique alike.

So since I have an "in" with some of the folks there, I was able to have them create my calling card for my "Obama Experiment" website. Lyrica actually hand created the design of the card herself, creating an overall engravers look for the info side, with the reverse being a ultra-marine colored paper-fabric.

I was able to take some photos of the actual cutting process taking place (which is quite amazing, since all pieces are hand-cut).

I love them, and view them as an additional piece of art.
